Alright how do you attach the shield to his back? Says on the instructions to put both layers of the one strap in the clip. But it won't go, it's a tight squeeze. Shouldn't be this difficult. I want to be able to take it off and attach it back on quickly. Sure I can attach one layer of the strap but the shield then just hangs and swings around, has more strap slack.

maybe put the clip on to the shield first then attach it to the figure.

Thanks, tried that, still no go. Even if it does attach, it takes a heck of a long time just to attach it. I mean when Cap in the film hooks it to his back, doesn't take 5 minutes.

Use a paperclip.

I purchased and received the custom Cap helmet from China. It's a little off in color but displays beautifully with his helmet-less head.

^Legit.

Which head is that?

EDIT: ah nevermind found it. Works really well with the golden age uniform.

Agreed. It'll do until I get the Civilian Steve head sculpt from HT.

You read my mind, that's what I would do too if I had him. Your Cap shoulders looks great........you must of mod it

 

[hokietwo]

Looks great. A neck really helps the figure as well. The headsculpt is just odd the way it sits on the puffy shoulders out of the box.

Did you do a body swap or just take off the shoulder padding?

 

[bmarz1000]

Just the padding. His shoulder's are actually a little wider in real life; the camera makes him look a little less muscular for some reason.

Is that the Headplay head?

So is the padding on the body just inserts? I had the head off and looked roughly in the neck and it seemed like it was all uniform....

The shoulder padding is underneath the suit and attached to the arms and shoulders with sticky tack. Just pull the foam pieces right off and the suit will look less puffy and more natural. You'll have to cut the threads that attach the upper torso of the suit to the mesh waist garment though.

Has anyone tried removing the padding through the neck hole after removing the neck? Padding is close by and maybe can be grabbed with tweezers?

NOW you tell me!

Cool. Looks much better.

Hoping someone can confirm this.

That was my first attempt. I pulled out a small piece of white material and I'm glad I stopped. The pads people will want to remove are black and way down on the shoulders.

I'm not saying it can't be done that way, but considering you've never seen under the shirt you won't know what you have in the tweezers. You could screw up the shirt in a hurry.

Thanks for the reply Kamandi.
I usually mod my figures if it starts to bother me, but I'm ok with the shoulder since mine is on a dynamic pose.
But if it was just that simple as removing the neck, then, I would be tempted to do so.

before I try to take him apart...I waterboarded him earlier tonight...looked good wet...see how he is in the morning after he dries...
