What's wrong with the Captain America? Honestly he looks amazing... what the issue?

Magneto for example, Sideshows art director Igo has said he hates comic book characters with their pants on the outside of their costume, so instead of the classic style Magneto that the vast majority of Sideshows customers wanted we get Igo's version.

They want reinvent the wheel with their name on it. Igo should be spelled Ego.

It's lack of listening to their fan base that is disappointing. Then we get great statues like Green Arrow and Wolverine. With statues being so high now, expectation is going to be high otherwise there will be criticism. I believe as fans and collectors, we have every right to point out our frustration of SSC art direction. Art do think the art director needs to be improved.

Some of SS stuff does feel like they are throwing a hundred ideas into one statue! it's like there you go, done your Frank Miller, Jim Lee, Arkham Batman, classic, modern etc.. in one statue.

I think because the suit isn't your traditional captain america that people are familiar with. Its a more modern new costume that sideshow came up with. I think it looks bad ass the only thing I don't like is his box sized butt lol.

Pose, dog collar, knee pads, elbow pads, velcro straps on boots and gloves, armoured shoulder pads, laces on boots, and black piping/stripes on his costume. That's just what I can remember off the top of my head. I'm sure there's other things that can be added to the list,

Yup, literally it was that simple. Even with the bulkiness and hunch back at certain angles, with a normal costume design i would've bought it.

That was exactly what they did.

Aka, clown pants

The new Cap, I can look pass the stripes and black piping but the dog collar, that's what keeping me from preordering it.

For this Batman, the stripper pants design needs to be changed.
