Clearly the SSC piece is bigger. But both probably the best Caps out there.

Lucky for me, I have both. That Unmasked XM head sold me on that piece.
2 of my favorite statues in my collection, and I?m a Spider-Man guy.
Nice review.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

These two Caps are great and you can't go wrong with which ever you choose to go with in your collection.

Has anyone seen a photo of this Cap next to XM Hulk Transformation?

No worries. Glad for the clarification.

WHY THE FCK IS THIS THING STILL IN STOCK??????

I mean, if we as a collecting community can't rally behind this quality of work in droves? Then, I suggest an imaginary bullet to the head, in order to verify if we are not already creatively dead.

Seriously folks, ignore the silly straw men arguments/fears regarding "leaning", popeye forearms (wait til you see his biceps!), or bullets in a fcking firefight! They don't exist, & in fact are brilliant aspects/additions to the work.

To all collectors, this is simply next level sh!t! Just get it!

It takes awhile to sell 3500 regardless of how well a piece came out.

Haven't been able to follow too closely of late, but I was under the impression that there was a "low" quantity alert for Cap a few weeks ago?

Regardless, this will sell out eventually, I was just trying to give a huge heads-up to anybody itching/scratching cause they're still stuck on the fence.

A great, great sculpt, which only gets better as you look, as any great Canale work should, and does, every time.

Wow.

Probably because lots of collector already have 1, maybe even more Cap A statues in their collections.

High ES and price will make it less prone to be selling out. Also, there are so many Caps out there.
