The classic version is absolutely tops in my book. If you could do an Ultimate Cap version as well, then that would be fantastic!!:buttrock:

The classic is the only one I'd probably buy, a 40's bust perhaps, but not likely a FS.

Classic and 40s all the way. But I could only vote for one, which was classic. I love the Ultimates and I think you would do them more justice then anyone has lately. I would love to see the top 3 or 4 done in BD style!

Classic must be done. I wouldn't be interested in the 40's triangular shield version. I don't really like the Ultimate version so much, but 40's Ultimate design with the goggles and Army helmet is just badass!

BD doesn't have the license for the Ultimate Universe.

Wasn't the only thing different about the 40's the shield anyhow? And I know the colors on the 40's "circle" shield were different too, but that's NOT enough to warrant another repaint variant.

That's cool. But I think that was of Cap when he was in WW2 in the Ultimate U. I think now his outfit looks more like:

http://ec2.images-amazon.com/images/P/B000FP2YYA.01._SS500_SCLZZZZZZZ_V66888285_.jpg

He's got more of a helmet than a mask, has pouches, and for some (lame) reason, stars on his shoulders:

01-05-2007, 05:06 PM
I would probably buy as many of the classic look as you would care to make! As for the others...it depends on the sculpt I guess. I love the Ultimates comic, but am not a big fan of the wingless Cap look. Some of today's comics look great & are excellent reads, but don't have that iconic 60s, 70s, and 80s look. From a business stand point, you'd be silly not to do an Ultimate Cap!

PS: Don't forget Cap on a WW2 motorcycle!

Whether it was an action or museum pose, I would only buy the classic version. However, as I already have your original piece, I would probably resist buying a new sculpt, unless you could top your first one. (Not that I want to pressure you or anything.) :)

Classic action pose please, Shield should be out front either being thrown or blocking bullets.

The variant should be the same statue with battle worn bullet holes in Captain America's costume and blood damage.

Otherwise (The Captain/US. AGENT) or How about Isiah Bradley the black Cap?

THe first modern Captain America statue was the solid tall iconic pose. What we need today is the strength and determination of Captain America. THe image of a man who could take on a whole army of either Hydra, AIM, Serpent Society or if you want Shield. He will push on and through any obstacle. Which is a huge trait of the WWII generation.

Really? Ya think? I've always felt that the 3 big museum pose pieces from Phase 1 (Daredevil, Captain America, and Spider-Man) were pretty much so spot-on perfect that there was little need to ever revisit them in that style.

I'm really looking forward to the action pose, but I'm more than content to stick with my original Cap.

Didn't have the Shifflets Hulk so the new Hulk's a no brainer but I've already broken my own rule on the new Thor FS. I'm dreading seeing the new Cap FS statue... :( :)

Well wktf, the two Thor's are so stylistically different that I can see the desire to own both of them, but I really don't see how another museum pose Cap is going to improve drastically upon the one we already have.

To be brutally honest, I'd just as soon we only get the action pose that has been discussed for months now, and free up the schedule slot for a sculpt of a character we haven't seen yet.

d, those pieces that you mentioned are AMAZING, no doubt, I like them all, are brilliant pieces of art indeed, but I think 8 years later, a revisit done by Randy himself is worth a try!

A Golden Age (1940's version) Captain America is important and would be appreciated by those of us who respect the golden age and want to see a Timely's "Big Three". Some of us hope to eventually have an original Human Torch to go along with a GA Captain America and Sub-Mariner.

I agree with deaconbluezzz in that a GA Captain America would look better in an action pose. I'd prefer to see one similar to his first appearance in Captain America #1:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Captainamerica1.jpg

The chances of getting another GA FS statue (in an action pose) are slim to none. The chances of getting a GA Captain America MB based on his first appearance might be a little more realistic.

I'd also like to add, that a GA version of Captain America (1st appearance) is just as important as the yellow Daredevil or the grey and gold Iron Man. Each of them has a unique place in the history of comic books.

Very good point. Furthermore, the depiction of the GA Cap with his triangular shield has become so prevalent that in the current Ultimates series all flashbacks that depict Captain America during his WW2 years show him carrying only his original shield.

This doesn't look like Ultimate Cap to me. The Ultimate version doesn't have wings on the mask and the Ultimate WWII version wasn't a costume like this one. This looks more like the John Cassaday version of the modern Marvel Universe Cap costume.

I see the 40s version quickly becoming as tiresome a variant as the gray Hulk. Do we really need to have a 40s version offered or suggested every time there's talk of doing a Cap?


Agreed completely. Don't do another 40s Cap please, Randy.

I'm all for an ultimate Cap, just to mix things up. (along with the classic, of course)

I don't think you have anything to worry about. I doubt that BD will do another "40's version" Captain America anytime soon. In fact, even more in your favor, it seems that BD is moving toward modern characters and away from golden age characters.

We've recently seen a plethora of modern age characters like Armored Daredevil, Scarlet Spidey, Symbiot/Black Spidey, etc. The only golden age representative was the red suited Sub-Mariner which was inaccurate due to the golden wrist bands (but I appreciated the effort).

As far as Captain America goes, I don't consider the current "classic" version an accurate portrayal of his first appearance.

It hasn't been a good run for fans of the golden age. I guess I could put up a FS statue of BD's Johnny Storm and pretend it's the original Human Torch or put up a red-suited Sub-Mariner (with golden wrist bands) and the "classic" Captain America (with red & white triangular shield) and pretend they're good representatives of the golden age.

It would be nice to have decent representations of Timely's (Marvel's) most popular heroes. Fans of the golden age deserve better than what they've been offered so far.

I'm probably in theminority, but I wouldlike a Modern Cap and a US Agent version.

The only version that I would consider to be a true "40's version" would be his first appearance on the cover of Captain America, issue #1. There's quite a difference between that version and the one that was made into a FS statue by BD several years ago.

Subby also needed to have a black belt with an "S" on the buckle, plus most of the trunks he wore back then were black or blue with stripes down the side.

Cap would have been perfect if Randy had wrapped the stripes all the way around his torso, and tossed a blue stripe or two on the shield.

What do you mean about the strips, DB?

I thought they were only on the front on his first costume.

That's my point. They're inaccurate. We need more golden age characters and we need them sculpted with more accurracy.

That's the funny thing about the first costume Tet. In issue #1 of Captain America Comics, he had the triangular shield w/blue stripes, the different style mask, no star on his back (forgot that), and stripes that went around his torso.

In issue #2 the shield became circular (to avoid legal troubles with the existing GA character, The Shield), his mask was changed, the stripes were changed to cover only his abdomen, and a star was added to his back.

So, the existing GA Cap statue is kind of an amalgam of the two styles...100% accurate to neither one.

I agree, but I think opinions like yours and mine are clearly in the minority here.

I only buy characters in their "definitive" uniforms, which most of the time is their "classic" uniform. If you're doing classic in both museum and action, I'm gonna have to get both! If you just do the classic in one form, that's the one I'll get.

Make sure you vote in the poll for The Captain version of Steve Rogers! US Agent would be an entirely different sculpt, but The Captain would be a simple repaint!

What everyone is referring to as the "1940's version" only appeared in the first issue. "Classic version" appeared from issue #2 and on. I like the Cap from issue #2. I would consider another version in a different pose.

This is true, but the version from Captain America #1 (with the triangular shield and diff. mask) has been embraced by many current creators when they wish to depict Cap during WW2. To be honest, I haven't seen any recent depictions of Captain America as he really appeared during the majority of his 1940's adventures...with the blue-striped shield & sans stripes on his back.

I know I'm weird, but my only interest would be how he's depicted in flashbacks in the Ultimates.
Triangular shield. Gloves, boots, belt AND mask are all brown. With a helmet!

To those who doubt the intense badassitude of a potential Golden Age Cap in an action pose, take a gander...

I am going to be Caped out after this year. I likely will get any Cap Bowen puts out except for Ultimates version. By my count that could be 2-5 FS of just Cap! Add that to the 2 I have! That's Caperific, but borderline Cap overkill.

As long as there is a The Captain variant...bring them on!
