Captain America 1/4 Scale Statue

[rfridaythe13th]

In my opinion it's odd when I see people post that they thought it had, or are impressed it doesn't have fabric. I feel it wouldn't looks as impressive if it was mixed media. When they use fabric the statue looses detail, its just a plain shirt or pants on a statue. U don't see creases with extra details. like when they sculpt them in. Which is what makes this statue so awesome. Creases on the pants and extra details being fully sculpted

XM stuff costs about the same, if not more for US ppl to get. I don't really see the difference other then Iron Studios doesn't have their kind of street cred.

its hard to explain, I agree with you though sometimes with the use of mixed media you lose details like creases and stuff like that because cloth doesn't fall the way it should on a smaller scale than 1:1 - but you do gain different textures and small gaps between panels that you usually lose when a piece is cast or even sculpted. doesn't seem to be the case here, that looks like a 1:1 cap figure with mixed media, and I mean that as a huge compliment

in this case,I will just go ahead order another XM, any of them looks awesome, can this be sold for $1k if you don't want it in the future?

[kakarot117]

went ahead and preordered it for $850 shipped

im sure the price will go up to 1250 or higher once its shipping

This is going to be a future grail. Guarantee they will be up on eBay for double retail if not triple.

I agree that this is the best Cap I have seen from any company so far, movie or comic wise. A worldwide ES of 400 is crazy low, but should assure good QC.

I broke down and ordered Cap and Iron Man, they just too good to pass. Can't wait to display them.
