It has been a long long while. In fact, this is the first post for the New Year.
Time has taken Josh and I away for quite a bit but I have return and I have much in store for everyone.
For starters, in conjunction with the next big Marvel Hero to hit town in a few days, I shall feature Captain America in his Avengers Outfit! The first Avenger looks pretty awesome in his get up. Along with quite a few awesome accessories, this figure does justice to the Chris Evan's portrayal of the American Hero. Enough said, I shall let the picture do the talking.
Winter is Coming for the First Avenger
In my opinion, the Hot Toy Quality for the Avengers Version of each Marvel Hero (Captain America, Iron Man, Thor and Black Widow) are the way more realistic looking than the previous version of the Hot Toy Action Figures that were catered to each of the stand-alone Marvel Hero Movie. Then again, they seem to get better as they move along in making new figures.
The Captain looking majorly badass with a Chitauri Weapon.
SHIELD SLASH!!!
The Head sculpt looks pretty fine even with the mask off. While Hot Toys don't always hit the mark for every sculpt, the Captain's head sculpt scores well for the Avengers version of it.
The First Avenger must now standup against the Winter Soldier
The Patriot, Captain America
The Soldier
All in all, while I never really fancied Captain America, it is a great outfit design and Hot Toys have definitely nailed it. So glad to have acquired him despite missing out on the pre-order.
Speaking of which, Hot Toys has already release a few figures in collaboration with the movie. For starters, there is the Winter Soldier version of Captain America and the new Black Widow with her new hairstyle. I am not sure if this is verified information, but I heard that Marvel/Kevin Feige intended to ensure that there are costume changes for every Hero in order for Hot Toys to be able to release newer versions of these Marvel Heroes in conjunction with their solo/stand-alone movies (prior to the lead up to the Avengers 2 film). If this was true, I must say, it is a great way to get more new products and increase profit.

Which looks more awesome?

I do like both versions of Captain America. Nice touch to the Winter Soldier outfit though. Gotta add, your pics are really nicely done. I like the various poses.
ReplyDeleteAvengers' Version of captain America looks more sleek whereas the new version looks more heavy duty. I could say that new is better :P But the quality difference is negligible between old and new.
ReplyDeleteGreat pics! I do like the side profile very much!
