Its true like the guy said that the colors are a bit more muted, (think Zack Snyder Man of Steel color pallet) but once you give it some good lighting this thing pops and is just incredible! |
Just had a chance to open mine up, and I agree completely. This sculpt is spectacular! The attention to detail is beyond expectations, the textures mind boggling, the paint apps great.
Most have complained about the thigh stripes, & given the choice, I would have preferred them removed. But, in person, the striping is muted in color (as the whole of the statue), and blends surprisingly well with the hyper detailing of the costume.
As for the pose? Don’t quite understand the ‘strut’ label for the pose. The box art, the print, and some promo pics clearly show Cap in an active battle zone, even his shield paint depicts blast streaks across the surface. So, I see Cap twisting his body (to minimize target area), and quite obviously in the process of raising his shield, bracing for the next impact. Hell, he even has his chin tucked in, and that gaze doesn’t give a stroll in the park vibe at all.
Bottom line? The best ´modern’ style version Cap on the market. A beautiful pose, with subtle movement, and a ton of detailing should have made this a no brainer. With great deals around, if any were thinking about picking this up, just do it! Yes, it’s that good, and does make the other versions available seem outdated(just watch the vid).
P.S. Why is the sculpt attributed to Bel, when two other sculptors are given credit on ss site? Must say, looks more like a Canale sculpt, cause this Cap is a beast anatomy/muscle wise.
