Modern Cap is simply fantastic. The sculpt is just about dead on perfect. The head is complete with sculpted A and his ears exposed through the hood. The chest of his uniform is nicely  textured and Cap even has little pouches on his gauntlets and laced boots. His belt looks to be a separate piece but its sculpted in place with ammo pouches and a canteen. No doubt about it, plenty of love went into the details of this sculpt.

The paintwork on my figure is nearly immaculate. What a profound difference from the shoddy paint on yesterday’s Ms. Marvel figure. The star on his chest and the A on his hood are both razor sharp, as are the red and white stripes on his stomach. Both his legs and his boots feature some extra brush work to add some depth to the paint. Particularly impressive is the sharp paintwork on the shield, which is also just about perfect. Even his boot laces are painted.

The shield can be clipped onto Cap’s arm and it also has two elastic straps so it can be worn on his back.

Classic Cap reuses some parts, but there’s plenty new here to show Hasbro went the extra mile. Obviously, the head sculpt is completely new, with the hood enclosing the ears and featuring the tiny wings on the sides. The torso is mostly the same, although the star on the chest is bigger and his belt is completely resculpted. The legs and arms are mostly the same, but with brand new sculpts for the gauntlets and boots.

The coloring on Classic Cap is a more washed out than the modern version and the reds are closer to maroon. The shield is the old style “heater” type with a peaked top and the paint apps are razor sharp. In fact, the only issue with the paint on this figure is a little bit of bleeding around the edges of his mask.
In addition to his shield, Classic Cap came with a figure stand, which the Modern Cap lacked. Both figures came with the usual Top Secret portfolio with collector card and papers.

Both figures have a slick 22 points of articulation. Their necks are ball jointed. The arms have ball joints in the shoulders, swivels in the biceps and forearms and hinged elbows. The torso features a swivel and a ball joint. The legs have ball joints in the hips, double hinged knees and swivels at the boots along with hinges and swivels in the ankles.

As excited I am to pick up the new movie figure that Hasbro will no doubt be releasing, these two figures are really all the Captain America I need. They’re both homeruns, whether you prefer the classic or the modern or just have to have both. Either way, these are two really exceptional figures in the MU lineup.
