1/6 Custom Captain America

[zedex9r]

G'day All

A while ago I managed to pick up a copy of the 1990 Captain America movie starring Matt Salinger. For me it was still very enjoyable and brought back great memories of Captain America. The movie may have dated a little and may not be in the same league as the current Superhero movies, but I still feel this was an excellent representation of Steve Rogers / Captain America.

Imagine my joy when I spotted this figure on Ebay recently. To me it was the closest that I would come to having a Captain America 1/6 scale movie figure. This figure has been made by a well known Superhero customiser GreyDeath https://www.toymania.com/custom/Galleries/Greydeath/greydeath1.htm

He has produced a few variations of Captain America but I feel that this one has a very close headsculpt to Matt Salinger. The only thing I felt needed changing to make him look more movie accurate were the wings on his cowl. The movie wings were larger and a different shape to the comic book version which were the ones that GreyDeath had fitted.

While not 100% movie accurate I feel he is the closest to a movie version that you can get and he look freakin awesome as well.

Enjoy some pics

As a Cap fan for at least 30 years, I love it.

I just bought a Daredevil (not Ben Afleck) from the same seller a couple of weeks ago. He has made a few different Marvel characters that appear to be high quality work. I love the DD that I got.

YO YO YO, looks like Cap just finished busting out a rap....where is Cap's bling aound his neck?

Shield looks like it is from the recent 8" Signature Series, it looks a little undersized for a 12" figure.

Yeahh, what a great work, respect!

Last I checked, the same seller had a Cap head and shield unpainted for about $25.

 

[The Mike]

The costuming is fantastic but the head looks strange on that body, abnormally large...the shield is undersized especially when you take a look at piece that are 1/6 like MR's Golden Age Cap Shield and compare it to the 8" version.....the Marvel Legends ICON Shield would look really nice with this as well....

Yeah, Cap is in his 'B-Boy Stance'!

Looks real good though, great work!

I've alway thought Capt America would be a really fun Custom to make! That one looks great!

 

[xenoviper]

Top quality costume!

I heard they gonna make a new Captain American movie?

 

[EVILFACE]

Very nice work.

I have spoken to GreyDeath at the OneSixthWarriors board as well as seen the other work he has done and he has a knack for 1/6 superheroes.

He also has a love for doing custom Captain America figures. GreyDeath said he uses the same material that Medicom does to make his superhero outfits/uniforms.

This figure, just like his other ones, looks outstanding.

Captain America isn't just an all round American hero, he is also an all round dancing star. Give him a boom-box and he knows how to bust out all the moves.

Wow.....I wish I could make costumes that look that nice.

Cool pics man....

 

[C-Phan]

Wow, I love this custom, Cap looks really awesome and what about his suit.
Maybe the shield looks a little bit small.
