Captain America

[scott metzger]

Picked it up at my comic shop, but haven't had a chance to open it yet. I really am flabbergasted the way the star is attached; has there ever been a super hero with their insignia put on that way in the entire history of action figures? I mean, it's easy to fix with a glue stick, I'm sure, but seriously. How that idea ever passed muster is beyond me. Outside of that, though, the set looks good, at least in package. The heads seem to have come out well, and it's nice to see they did get rid of the thread holding the pieces in place; overall more attractive in package, and definitely giving a Captain Action costume set vibe. Like Spidey, I'll put vintage Cap and Steve Rogers on some old Mego bodies, and use the included body for the modern Cap. Still a touch on the steep side as far as price goes, even without me having to pay for extra bodies, though, compared to FTC's offerings, where you could actually get three whole more deluxe figures (like the Conan wave) for about the same, with bodies included for each.

What does bother me is that Cap's head/face is half hidden in the box... They screwed up big time with the window boxes...

Yeah I can't imagine the star being handled any worse. Even a sticker like Mego did originally would look better. Other than that, the set looks great.

EE is on the West coast, Diamond is on the East Coast and also a distributor, so they always get their products first. It's traditionally been a week at the very least for EE to get their DST products.

Thanks for the heads up

^^^Ordered mine from EE and nothing yet either. Not even "Hot Off the Truck"... Maybe next week...^^^

Did anyone else order theirs online? I did from Entertainment Earth and nothing yet.

I'd buy the new Cap for $25 in a New York minute.

Just realized I forgot to put the spats on. I think Cap's neck is exaggerated due to the angle: it doesn't look so elongated in person.

[LonnieFisher]

Where are Steve's spats?

[thunderbolt]

perhaps the super soldier formula includes giraffe dna.

Cap's got a telescoping neck.

Yeah! It didn't seem to on previous pictures/reviews...
