Captain America figures

[K-Tiger]

I had my choice of Winter Soldiers and grabbed the one with the straight barrel. Gotta fix the scope, but that's no biggie.

Might grab a WWII Capt. for repainting/re-accessorizing. Other wise the Capt. A figures were fairly sparse. That'll change, though. No Joes on the plan-o-gram.

The Tommy Gun that Cap comes with is shit.

It looks like a Fisher Price gun, blocky and undetailed.

I'll be replacing it soon enough.

 

[K-Tiger]

Yeah, i've got proper Thompsons to replace it with, as well as proper WWII pouches and helmets.

 

[Bravestarr]

I like the WWII Version of Captain America.

The rest of them look kind of cheesy.

Saw TF 3 robots at Wal-Mart today.

What's up with Megatron ripping off Optimus Prime's truck mode, and what in the heck does Shockwave transform into?

What's up with Megatron ripping off Optimus Prime's truck mode, ...?

I know. I was thinking the same thing.

Also I was almost unable to read your post. I had to try really hard to ignore your sig.

 

[K-Tiger]

I like the WWII Version of Captain America.

The WS head ain't so bad, and fits on the ST body. I love the SVD, aside from the goddamn softness of the plastic.

WWII Capt. isn't WWII enough for me. In my mind WWII Captain America should be a G.I. with a fruity green balaklava and a green and white round shield.

Boring? Perhaps, but more realistic and less "Aim that MG 42 here: *points at chest*".

Wave two will have the first of the movie figures in it, so Red Skull and Movie Cap will be there, along with Crossbones, US Agent and Captain Britain.

It's odd, the w2 Captain Britain has been in my BBTS PoL for nearly a week. So I guess Hasbro is already shipping some of that next batch.

My wife picked up the Heavy Artillery Cap, Para-trooper Cap and Winter Soldier for me on her way home from work. These are all pretty much place-holders for me until wave 2. I'm really stoked for Red Skull, US Agent and Crossbones.

 

[fogger1138]

Which one is Heavy Artillery Cap?

 

[Goldbug]

More like I dare you to aim that MG42 here!

Wave 2 is already out. People have been finding them at Walmart.
So is the Kmart International 3 pack.

 

[K-Tiger]

Which one is Heavy Artillery Cap?

He comes with some big fruity gun.

More like I dare you to aim that MG42 here!

And my Germans dare. My Red Skull's pimp hand is far stronger than Capt.'s.

 

[Goldbug]

And my Germans dare. My Red Skull's pimp hand is far stronger than Capt.'s.

That's why he has the shield.

 

[K-Tiger]

Hope Crossbones shows up soon, though i'm relegated my self to knowing i'm gonna have to cut on him.

Winter soldier is useless for any pose that isn't him drawing both his pistols at once.

 

[darthdre758]

Picked up Winter Solider today. He's a sturdy figure for sure, but the bend-em guns suck.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

i saw that deadpool CP today Goldbug...is it a hot commodity?

 

[Mandingo Rex]

They're worth at least 25 Scalpers.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

wait, $25 to scalpers or 25 scalpers?

 

[Mandingo Rex]

wait, $25 to scalpers or 25 scalpers?

25 Scalpers. It's a new unit of measure. Just like whines can be measured in HTs.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

so i was making a mess last night with the foam board and my wife was HT'ing up a storm!

 

[K-Tiger]

This is what WS looks like on the Maisto 1942 WLA. That is the extent of the forward movement on the horrid Hasbro Marvel Movie figure hips. IM and Wolverine figures are practically the same.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

lol, maybe he has sensitive balls?

 

[K-Tiger]

TO match his dainty woman-hands?

I think his head will work for a metrosexual Zartan, as opposed to the regular goat-fucker Zartan head?

 

[Bravestarr]

Picked up WWII Cap and Airborne Cap today.

I really like both figures!

 

[K-Tiger]

You would.

[Monkeywrench]

I saw a Red Skull today at wally world. For some reason I passed on it lol

 

[Bravestarr]

What!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Monkeywrench]

i wish i would have picked the skull up now

 

[pcsguy88]

No figures at Walmart, but they did have the APC. I was quite surprised by the large box and the pics that show it dwarfing the motorcycle.

 

[Goldbug]

i saw that deadpool CP today Goldbug...is it a hot commodity?

Well those are shortpacked. 2x of them compared to 4x of the Silver Samurai ones.
Plus Red Skull & Cross are 1 per case each too.

I got my Cap 3 pack today.

I also have one extra Capt. Britain & US Agent.
I need Red Skull. I would also take a Mandarin or a Lizard in 3¾ size.

 

[pcsguy88]

Is that an Uzi in US Agent's package?

 

[Goldbug]

Is that an Uzi in US Agent's package?

yep

 

[pcsguy88]

Saw Winter Captain today and his green digicam pants and white coat could be handy, but the blue torso is awful. Also saw Hero Cap? Looks a lot like WWII Cap with a helmet but different webgear and no thompson. I just can't bite on these $8 figures.

 

[fogger1138]

Saw the first wave at Wal-mart on Friday, passed on the lot.

 

[K-Tiger]

Other than the rubbery plastic used on the guns (use the same shit you use on Joes, goddammit) i wasn't terribly disappointed with my Winter Soldier purchase. I bought him solely for the SVD, and end it up with a fair C-96 and a head sculpt for future use as a bonus.

Jet pack blows, though *scratches chin*

 

[pcsguy88]

 

[pcsguy88]

Can't say I'm too impressed with WWII Cap. He is a perfect example of what happens when you over engineer a figure's articulation and use rubber for the joints. His arms end up with limited movement and his lower half is a floppy mess. O'well, good thing he will remain static in the turret and I have no need for any future figures from the line.

Why did they give him soft rubber kneecaps?

 

[pcsguy88]

Here's the one I saw earlier today and now I'm sad I didn't get him instead of WWII Cap. Easy choice if they had both been hanging side by side.

 

[Monkeywrench]

I went back for the red skull and he was gone

to be fair, its not the over engineering, is just the cheap materials...i have the SDCC version and he holds up just fine...not loose or sloopy at all...

that movie Cap you posted looks like a definite buy if i ever see it...
