4.0 out of 5 stars Great New Captain America Continues Marvel Select Tradition, December 3, 2008

UPDATED: Originally I complained about the articulation but the Marvel Select Figure Line is about great sculpts with varying degrees of figure articulation(poses) so with that in mind I would rate him a five and not a four. It is a statue that has features of an action figure. And although it does not have ball-joints in places like Thor and Iron Man from this line it is still worth the money and a great likeness of the Alex Ross designed new Captain America and is highly recommended. I waited for the Marvel Select Captain America for months. When it finally was released I was very pleased with the painting applications and sculpting of this figure. I also own the Marvel Select Thor and Iron Man so I expected the articulation to be similar between the figures. Where Thor and Iron Man have ball and socket joints for the elbows and hips and knees the Captain America figure only has hinge joints for the elbows and the cut of the waist only allows the legs to slightly bend forward. The knees are also hinge joints so there is less movement that can be done with the legs unless you like Captain America to have a squatting action poses most of the time. Another problem the included extra knife and canteen falls off easily and even one of the permanent pieces on his belt/waist came off and had to be glued on mine. This figure could have been great like Thor or Iron Man if the articulation had been better but having said that it is a great looking piece and with some work you can get it into some decent poses just not as many if the articulation was better. Overall score: 5 out of 5.

This Captain America from Marvel Select sports an excellent sculpt and paint application. Sadly though, the articulation is not on par with the recently released Hulk or Thor figures. This figure has no balljoints except in the shoulder. This makes it very difficult to find natural standing positions or action poses. What makes it worse is there is not cut in the thigh or swivels at the boot. So, this figure remains a slightly poseable statue. Marvel Select has really done well this year on a couple of figures and struck out on a couple. I hope they stick with the formula they used for Thor and Hulk. This Captain America figure would have been perfect with a few balljoints here and there. I recommend it for hardcore fans only.

The toy is as what was expected except for the unmasked (variant) we recieved. I was hoping it had the mask but my son doesn't mind.
