[Trivial Psychic]

Got lucky today and ran into Infinity War Cap today at Walgreens, and while I was not initially thrilled about this figure, at the sale price I figured "why not?"



I'm glad I didn't pass him up truthfully. The body sculpt is indeed an all new one with no reused parts, and is probably the best and most accurate portrayal of Cap's gear yet. The colors are downright perfect, with a more muted color scheme, which gives him a weathered look I appreciate. The Wakandan shield is also nicely done, although I would have preferred two of them like he has in the movie. I'll definitely be on the hunt for the kiddie version of Cap that is on the way for the film, as that figure comes with two.



My one one gripe (other than the headsculpt) is that the skin tone doesn't quite match up on the rolled up sleeve to the hand, and since he is not wearing the wrist bracer like he has on the other, it looks off. I rectified this a little bit by adding a leg pouch from my fodder bin (from Scarlet Spider) and it does a great job in covering up the flaw, making it less noticeable. The headsculpt is what it is, mine was fairly clean. I'll probably be touching up the hair and beard with a little bit of drybrushing to get it more accurate. Also, if you have the MCU Cap from Civil War/Giant Man wave, the colors on the helmet are a near perfect match. The skin tone on the face is close enough as well, but you'll need a dremel to get the head to work.


"Thanks for the loaner your highness..."

One of my favorite things about this figure though, is we finally have a MCU Cap that is capable of gripping or holding something. This makes him able to finally hold his shield for some added stability, as well as the option for putting a gun in his hand, as Hasbro was kind enough to give him a trigger hand. The articulation is also much better than any of the MCU Caps we have received thus far.


"We could do this all day..."

It's not perfect, but he's definitely the best MCU Cap to date (at least until the 10th anniversary version comes out.) I give it a rec.
