Avengers: Endgame Captain America 1:6 Scale Hot Toys Figure Unboxing And Review

The Figure

The figure is tremendously detailed. The patterns on Cap's suit are flawlessly designed. From the Avengers logo on his arm to the straps which run over his shoulders to meet at his back as a place to mount the shield when you don't want the figure holding it on an arm, Hot Toys delivers on every detail front with this one. Mjolnir has tiny letters etched into it. The shield's have tiny buckles (which actually work). Steve's facial expressions offer up three forms of emotion (and I liked to go with the one that says, "Charge!" as if "Avengers, assemble," had just been spoken before battle. His suit is stitched at the seams. It's impressive stuff.

The size of the figure is great, it poses nicely, and looks perfect beside other Marvel products from similar lines.

The Details

The photo above just goes to show the level of craftsmanship put into this figure. Being a 1:6 scale figure, the buckles, the patterns, the fabrics adding stripes to the sleeves are all quite tiny and yet not the smallest detail is skipped. It's not surprising and often one of the things I find myself drooling over each time one of these figures comes out of the box.

Posing

The shield, as seen above, offered the detail which got the biggest, "Wow!" out of me. The straps on the inside of both shields actually have buckles which are used to fasten the shield around the figure's arms.

With so many point of articulation, the figure can strike a range of poses. This can be a stoic, upright basic pose as it is packaged or raising Thor's hammer above its head, ready to send lightning bolts at an enemy. It's not as easy as it sounds to pose figures and make them look as cool as your thought it would in your head, so this figure almost justifies its price tag in that alone: you can spend time posing it, balancing it, changing up the faces or the moments for a considerable amount of time and it's fun to do as you learn to do it better each time.

Accessories

It's hard to find a place for it, but the figure comes with a touching accessory: Steve's compass which has Peggy Carter's picture in it. The accessory is very small, it can fit in one of the five extra hands, so you might not want to put it out in the open on display as a means to avoid losing it but it's a really nice touch for the figure.

When having Cap wear his helmet, the eyes remain set but the jaw can be changed for a different facial expression from the nose down. While the unmasked head is a nice sculpt of Chris Evans, it comes attached to a full neck which does not allow for any turning or posing, so keeping the helmet on is a more fun option.

The Stand

As all Hot Toys figures do, the figure comes complete with a stand. This one is themed to Avengers: Endgame and reads "Captain America," on the front. The hexagonal shape allows it to fit nicely with other Avengers figures, especially those from Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame lines with Hot toys.

Overall, the figure's tag of $274 makes this one worth admission if you're a fan of Avengers: Endgame's culminating battle. There are no fancy lights or wild stand features to warrant the price jumping up beyond that but enough accessories to get it just south of three hundred. A fair number, looking at it compared to other Hot Toys figures, and arguably a lower than expected number.

This is a figure I wanted from the moment I saw it as it gives me memories of cheering with strangers in a movie theater every time I look at it. With all of the accessories, I found myself spending more time posing this figure than I thought I would and it became a fun challenge to find the best way to get the figure to stand. I wanted my first Captain America figure to pop more in terms of colors while shelved besides the likes of Iron Man and Spider-Man but this ultimately represents one of the best Marvel movie moments in tremendously accurate and exciting detail. Not to mention, the Peggy Carter compass is a nice touch if you need an extra shot of emotion.

It definitely has my approval.
