This review is from: Captain America Plastic Model Kit by Polar Lights (Toy)

This kit is based on the classic Aurora model kit from the 1960s, with the following differences:

1: Polar Lights "up-scaled" the kit when reproducing it, thus this kit is larger than an Aurora original.

2: Armor "scales" were added to the upper part of the costume to replicate the comic art.

3: The original Aurora kit face was removed, being replaced with 3 different optional face choices - closed mouth, open mouth or clenched teeth facial expressions. This, in my opinion, is where Polar Lights dropped the ball... the faces all bear a remarkable resemblance to a hybrid of Martin Short's "Ed Grimley" character & comedian David Brenner.

If you can overlook or have the skill to rework the odd faces, this kit's worth the money.
