XM Studios Captain America

[RagingBull]

Just paid for my pointing finger today as well. So definitely looking forward to getting that.

Now I'm just waiting on Tavegg's 2 Sculpts, which I can't wait to just see pictures off. There going to be epic

Here's my Cap as he is. So glad this thread is back open

Looks awesome! What is he made of? For some reason, it looks different than the PF statue material.

I believe XM uses cold cast porcelain.

His paint pops out nicely

Thanks to the mods for opening this thread back up.

So . . . are the pointy hands all spoken for?

Just got word that my replacement Cap is ready to ship to me... now I just need to do the unthinkable and smash my Captain America... it's going to be hard. Any ideas to give this American hero a righteous send off?

Is that material better/higher quality than the polystyrene that SSC uses?

I wish but I was told I need to destroy it and send pics before they will ship it.

Sledgehammer.

I wish I lived out in the middle of nowhere. I'd drill a hole in him and stick a nice firecracker inside lol.

Sledgehammer will probably be the way I go.

I have to do the same thing to Hulk. I'm trying to think of the best way to do it. I was thinking of dropping him out a second story window, but that could get really messy. I'm open to suggestions.

Sledgehammer & dynamite.

Wish I could answer that.

I just received my Cap this week. Fortunately, it is in "perfect" condition. I only have four statues (Conan Fury of the Beast, SS Superman, and SS Batman), but the Cap is sharing top spot w/the Conan. I love the look, heft and paint job. As for your Cap, how about wrapping it in newspaper (do people still buy those?), stuffing it in a thick trash bag and going to town with it using a hammer? Hopefully, I'll never have to do this, but do the statue companies decide how much a statue needs to be "destroyed?" Can you break off the head, arms and legs? Or do you have to utterly destroy it into a "million" pieces?

I usually just wrap it in a towel and hammer it. As long as it sufficiently broken, should be fine. If you broke off all the limbs as you suggested, that would prob be good enough.

Use a couple trash bags and a hammer. You don't want to get hit with debris or breath in any dust

 

[SurlyJ]

Lol guys, I'm not concerned with how to do it safely. I was asking for opinions on how to make it something fun I could video and post. Something righteous and worthy of this great piece and character.

You could always test how strong the solid statue is, hook it up to a rope and swing it into the side of your house like a wrecking ball and see if the statue breaks or your house does

 

[DBBaylor]

...no idea on the heat needed, but melt it down like Arnold in T2. The XM Thanos watchers can do a poll to see what type of base the remains should be forged into (and joke falls flat if you're not reading the Thanos threads). I like Dan350zr's suggestion, the principles of physics is always cool in breaking up stuff. Short of the swinging rope, see how Cap reacts from jumping off a roof without parachute.
