Just kidding, the way the Bowen's one was sculpted, the cape is too big to be displayed the way I wanted it anyway.

I hope you are taking care of my little magic man!

This is the one that he is running in a funny posed kinnda way...like he was on Avengers issue #4?

Had it and sold it. Fine piece of art, but I am just not down with the source material.

Being a silver age fan, the Captain America Avengers #4 statue is the best Cap statue I have seen. The only gripe I have with it is the shield; it only has one strap and is wavy. The sculptor, Gabriel Marquez is awesome at translating 2-D art into 3-D. He also sculpted the Nick Fury, Namor, Wolverine, and Kraven Milestone statues.

I have that Milestones Cap and for my money he is by far the best Cap statue going outside of the SS PF. The detail and paint on this one is unreal. The blue is a nice pseudo metalic blue and the reds are nice and subdued. The sculpt is perfect, perfect, perfect. There is a thread on here with a ton of pics that helped make my decision to snag it a couple years ago.

FTR I also have the milestones Hulk. It too is a great piece but the pose/sizemake it a touch awkward to display.

What about the offensive "single strap" ?
