Captain America

They are rubber. I really like them, besides the warped one I got. The Spider-man, modern Captain America, and Steve Rogers boots are also all rubber.

I like the boots too, but...

majority of this figure is not very mego...the floppy Star,boots,the million times creased shield sticker,the fabric used...the heart was there,but the attempt failed

I thought at least for the repro, they would have gone with the more Mego material-style of boot.

After putting together my modern pinhead, faded webs Spider-Man and modern Cap with his assortment of issues, I am quickly losing interest in this line. Even the repro boxes are a mess (one box is shorter than the other; Cap's box is matte, while Spidey's is glossy) and the display potential of those is lost.

I really had high expectations for Cap.

I did too; that star and the giraffe neck killed it for me. I'm hoping Thor comes out okay.

I'm actually considering not using the modern Spider-Man head and instead using the repro head in conjunction with the modern costume, because the repro head has been updated in some nice ways. The web pattern is etched in and the head looks less bulbous than an original Mego Spidey. With that head, the modern outfit, and the webshooters and camera belt, that makes one heck of a nice Spider-man figure for my shelf that keeps the Mego feel while making smart changes to the costume.

has anyone used the Steve Rogers head for a custom Flash Gordon?

I've seen Aquaman but Flash Gordon would work too

Rubber = bad. High-density polyethylene = good.


I ordered some white Iron on stars from ebay, I figured the iron on wouldn't work but I could glue them to the costume.

Saw on a link on Ebay that Walmart is selling Cap for $90.

It's about $68 on the Walmart website.

Got my modern Cap head and uniform from Lonnie and I gotta say the figure looks pretty darn great in person.

Sure there are tiny nit picks like the star attachment and such but the silk screening is vivid and colourful, the head is truly squishy vinyl not solid and he looks great on a swivel arm body. Definitely convinced me to nab the Wolverine set.

So is the head cast in blue or white resin ?

So, will the vintage Cap have a head that is painted both blue and skin tone, or will the head be blue vinyl with painted skin tone?

I dont' see answer about this question... So someone can tell if the head is cast in blue or not?
Thanks.

[LonnieFisher]

The heads are not resin. All colors are painted on.

Yes, sorry they're vinyl. For the price the manufacter would have been directly cast the heads in blue vinyl.
I don't like painted head, paint finity always to flake.
So I don't buy it.
Thank you for your answer.

I just ordered the Captain America and Spider-Man figures. I'd like to get a body so I don't have to change the heads. I've seen people put the Cap head on an S-Type body. I tried the Zica website, but no luck there. Where can I get those bodies and is that a good one for Spider-man or is there a better one for him?

It looks like...

"S" body would be great for all the figures.

Thank you! I'll check with them on the 22nd. Are the heads and hands easy to pop in and out on those bodies?

Thanks for the questions, as I have the same ones.
