After 2 weeks at customs and a mild heart attack when the package contained a fairly mauled Mark XLIII shipper box, I finally got my Cap! Such an awesome figure, I'm so glad that I was able to hunt one down in the end!
Huh, one looks away for two weeks, and Cap sells out...
Sideshow wasn't really an option for me anyway (add shipping and VAT to my country and $225 becomes $325...), so I was looking around on ebay, but all I ever saw were $300+ prices right from the release. But I have this strange fear that...
I did that, though not for a really windblown look - I just adjusted the helmet-look into a bit more relaxed one. I heated it with a hairdryer on high heat and gently nudged the first few strands outside on both heads. It looks a bit more natural now - also, if you don't like the look, heat it...
I loved Cap's look even before the movie, and he was definitely the highlight of the whole thing - I'm not saying that it wasn't entertaining, but Ultron's character was so disappointing (I really wanted to love him, I drooled over the Ultron figure, but after seeing the movie I'm letting go of...

Oh, I'm so doing that pose when...
Hmmm, if I use the coupon my order still comes up to $304 with shipping and taxes...maybe I should wait to see if I'll be able to find something better on ebay...but dangit, I'm really itching to order him. Dumb question, but there's no way to use more than one coupon on Sideshow, right? (this...
Indeed, I also got him because this outfit is just perfect - and somehow I doubt that they'll keep it unchanged for the next movie. And that masked sculpt is just so awesome (though the other also kinda grew on me. Maybe I'll get a separate body for it).
Gah, I really need to figure out a...
You two make a really awesome intro for that video!
Indeed, mine also pops off at the slightest touch - the other guns stay on much better, thankfully. Also, cool review! :D
