Diamond Select Toys is offering one of the best Captain America figures ever offered in history, which is part of their Marvel Select 7″ line and available now. Captain America includes interchangeable parts from the Golden Age era and modern era in Marvel Comics.
Thank you to Diamond Select Toys for sending along their Marvel Select Captain America (Classic) Figure for review.
Availability: April 2024
Captain America comes packaged in the Select style blister card, with an image of him on the side, and an image and a description on the back.
Captain America is based on his classic appearance in Marvel Comics, and comes with interchangeable parts based on various appearances in the comics. He comes in his light blue, red and white outfit, with the white star on his chest and back.The belt is painted and comes with a metallic silver belt buckle.
Included with Captain America are three interchangeable head sculpts, two shields, three sets of interchangeable hands, one right salute hand, folded mask that hangs down from shoulders, harness, and belt.
Both of the shields are for different head sculpts. The round shield, which is his most recognized shied, and the other shield works for his golden era appearance as seen in Marvel Comics. Both of the shields can be placed on his arms and fit on his open grip and chop hand sculpts. The shields also swivel and can be removed from the handle part, so you can place either shield on the back of the harness.
The head sculpts are all unique and inspired from three different appearances. Both of the masked heads are similar, with a different shade of blue, A, and they have the wings on the sides. The unmasked head sculpt shows his facial details and blonde hair, and the folded mask hands from the back.
The harness and belt can fit over the torso and hips, and either shield can be placed on the back of the harness (by first removing the strap part). This gives you the ability to pose and display Captain America in many different ways and this has never been done before by DST on previous Captain America figure offerings.
His articulation is also standard for the select line, and includes a ball jointed head and neck, ball hinged shoulders, swivel shoulder armor, swivel-hinged elbows, swivel-hinged wrists, ball jointed torso, swivel waist, ball jointed hips, double-hinged knees, swivel calves, hinged and rocker ankles.
Comparing him with some of the other Captain America figures that have come before (mostly movie figures shown in Select, Zombie Captain America, and Hasbro’s Marvel Legends 20th Anniversary Cap), he surely stands out from what has come before and this by far one of the best Captain America figures ever offered, by any company, in any decade. The colors are similar to the Marvel Legends figure, as it’s been pointed out by fans online, however he is simply based on the comic book artwork and if you recall this appearance in the funny pages, you’ll know just how owning this figure is essential to your Marvel and Avengers collection, especially if you’ve been around while.
Overall, Captain America is an excellent figure that fans are surely going to enjoy. This is an essential figure to own as Captain America has never been offered quite like this before, with such a great comic book likeness and all. The likeness and attention to detail is just superb, and the accessories and interchangeable parts are a lot of fun to pose and display. Make sure to grab him today!.
