I love this color blue. The brighter colors and different head looks so much better than 80 years cap to me.

I would be much happier with the Legends line as a whole if they all turned out this good. Granted he's about 7-10 dollars more, but he comes with way more accessories and a decent paint job. I'd much rather pay that to get figures like this, than pay the base price for the basic, placeholder figures like Darwin or Speedball. The sad thing is though that even at this price, not even Iron Man or Toad come with the same level of paint or accessories. So just another example of picking and choosing the good ones and skipping the lazy ones.

With comic Ironman and Thor on the way, have to assume Mafex will be making the definitive Cap next as well.

One of the few Hasbro Figures I've purchased this year. Regular Marvel Legends are definitely not worth $35 though. That's getting into Mythic Legions territory but without the Mythic Legions level of paint detail or the passion behind them. My personal opinion is that the toy collecting bubble has popped over the last month, at least as far as retail collecting goes. All the small companies are now beating the big companies in terms of quality and value. Still love MOTU Origins though. I hope those continue on for years to come. The nostalgia is through the roof for me on those.

Where do you find mythic legions for only $35??? On day I found them for $100+!

For me, I love the brighter color scheme of the figure. The bright blue and the headsculpt gives me some major Jack Kirby vibes. It’s a good retro Cap that looks better than the other comic book caps I came across, so this one is a pickup. I certainly like it better than the other 3 in this line. Iron Man is too bright, Hulk looks really blocky, and I know nothing about Toad. I’m hoping we get a Thor in this line.

For me, would've been a home run if it was 30 bucks. For me the positives overlap the negatives. Solid cap, but 35 bucks is pushing it. Good amount of accessories which makes it worth it, but negatives are still there. We need stands with $20 price point anyway.

I got him as I started collecting ML during the pandemic, so I missed out on some older releases. He will be my main Cap until something better comes along.

Awesome review, man. Love how you keep it real and objective. And I 100% agree, you shouldn’t be able to stick an accessory in a gap. Bothered me enough not to feel any FOMO for this fig. So thank you 😅 an AC overall 9.0 and up is my benchmark for purchasing new figs, 8.5 if I really like the character. Cheers, man. More to come!

Aside from not coming with alternate 'solid' shield this is DEFINITIVE Cap fig imo. Only thing that WOULD have made fig better would b if waist swivel were handled like GI Joes & he had a diaphragm swivel/cut like new Spider-Man figs

This figure is great with Modular Iron Man.

Hey your right!

The main thing I don't understand about this figure is the crappy Grim Reaper hips. This is based on the dark blue 80 years cap. That has sculpted fabric wrinkles on the hips and it can do a far superior side split. I managed to get this a few months ago for £18 so I was happy. The full price is stupidly insane. All the extras: hands, head effects etc, should come with a Marvel Legends. Great review Anyhony.

Not bad but your photoshops really show how a good figure can be a great figur3. Aside from that the only other thing I would’ve liked is if maybe there was a couple of black highlights on the mask like how he’s drawn in some of the comics.

I wasn't the biggest fan of the 80 Years version, on top of being too dark of a colour for me and terrible paint on both heads on my copy something about it just wasn't fun to me, so I was happy to get this as a replacement and I do really like this figure. I had it for a day and the clip on the shield broke, so I ended up using one of the random trigger hands that came with the recent Dormammu and just use that to hold the shield via the peg for the back, not ideal but works well enough. It's definitely the only of the 20th anniversary figures I'm getting, Iron Man and Hulk are just not designs that interest me, with Marvel Legends I try to stick to just one version of each character and the 80 Years versions of those two are pretty much spot-on my ideal designs for them, but I can appreciate that for collectors who like those designs they're fine alternatives. Toad looks good, very modern but still good however WAY too overpriced, I'd only consider getting him if he went on sale, at least the other 20th anniversary figures have other versions out there, or have had other versions relatively recently in some form that released for cheaper prices, Toad hasn't which sucks.

What really sucks is that this figure has actually jumped in price on sites like Amazon - third party sellers have this guy listed for $50 or more because people ate it up so quickly. If it stuck around and went on sale like the 20th Ann Iron Man did, it would be an instant purchase for me, because I can easily look past the shortcomings at a lower price. I'm very happy with Ultimate Cap, but I really want a classic version for my Legends Avengers - looks like I'll be waiting to see how their next attempt turns out. Thanks for the review!

It’s mindblowing how all reports to date put this figure on a godly pedestal, and only in this review, all the weaknesses are exposed. Thank you, Anthony, for emphasizing the “review” in “reviewer.”

Hasbro decided to control the narrative and used this figure as the catalyst. They sent it to a prominent KZreadr months before it’s release, whom gushed over it, which started the chain reaction of over the top love. IMO It’s good but not the best ML ever.

After watching this again for like the 10th time, while I still own and love it, I've decided I would really rather have a YAMAGOOCH take on classic cap. Also, the mafex comic cap looks good but wasn't the "definitive" classic cap I was hoping it would be. Great review as always my bro!

I wanted to buy this for the head sculpt alone-looks like Matt Salinger from the 90s Cap Movie. But it's gone up in price now here where I live.

I like that photoshop, would be awesome if it looked like that. I am not thrilled about the holes in the shield, for the price they should have dropped the stand and gave us a non holed shield. the limited legs also bother me. All in all i got a good one with no paint issues and the eyes are straight, for me its a solid 8 and is for a Captain America and the avengers arcade game team. I just wish there was a good MK 9 comic version to round out the team.

Good breakdown. I feel like McFarlane, Hasbro figures all have these weird looking bodies. But Hasbro could make the smallest adjustment and it would dramatically improve the figure. I’m holding out for a maybe a Mafex version that looks similar to your Photoshopped Cap.

Picked up an A-o-A Cyclops the other day off a clearance rack at Target thinking I could either use him for parts or deck him out like the old Toybiz version; After messing around with the articulation a bit (with their mish-mash of pin-less tech and older pinned joints), it became pretty quickly evident Hasbro retooled the lower portion of the Bucky-Cap mold for far more impressive side split than the mold previously had. It's crazy to me to see how limited this figure still is in his side-kick when it's clear that they're reworking pre-existing molds to allow for greater range of motion. Maybe they figure he'll get bought up regardless. He still looks great at least; It really reminds me of the 90's live action flick but that weak side-kick is a peeve beyond irksome in the microscope of *action* figures.

Great review! I gave up on all Hasbro figures, not paying $55 for this figure over here in Southeast Asia

Great review I think you were being too kind at giving Cap an overall 8 with the paints not matching along with a gappy ab crunch and not to mention the price point and overall 7 sounds reasonable lol

I just love how the prices increase but the company dont really do extra to make up for it. And to pay $30+ for a mew series but same ol sculpt is a lil messed up.

Totally agreed with the review Anthony.

Nice review

I personally think every Face Off ML was the definitive version of that character. The Punisher was great, the Cap was, Iron Man, Daredevil would've been so much better without the jawbreakers for shoulders but still great. Still mad I never got to pick up one of those 2-packs.

In vallejo paint that blue appears in the comic its called French blue, look like I gotta repaint my figure

Anthony's photo adjustments are good. Just need to widen the waist. In all just broader shoulders and better feet proportions.

Face-Off Cap is still the greatest buck/figure ever put to plastic. Hands down. I don't know why they can't make a figure better than my 20yr-old Toybiz Cap?

I have to agree with Reviewer Anthony. In fact I'd be harsher. $35 for what still looks and feels like a $20 toy just doesn't work for me. At least ML still throw in some accessories, Black Series don't even bother for even higher prices. Ironically, the figure's best selling point is the action shots in the photo gallery.

The shading on the red is weird because it’s only on the red. I would have preferred them not to do it at all if they’re only going to one colour

I like the darker blue better !!! Nice review!

The price point for this one just isn't worth it when the new hips actually have worse range than the original release. It shortened the thigh gap, but that's one step forward, one step back. The ugly shading doesn't help either.

I'm really loving all the head sculpts on these figures! After doin a little research I found out that all the 20th Anniversary Legends (& the new Classic Dr. Strange) head sculpts were done by an artist/sculptor named Paul Harding. They're also all based on art he did 2 years ago that you can Google called "Marvel in the 1970's". I feel like these head sculpts really bring these characters to life and give them more personality as opposed to the 'random generic hero' look that we tend to get more often than not. Even the 80th Anniversary Thor and Hulk's heads look a bit bland when side-by-side. Just thought I'd share that with you & hoped you'd appreciate it being that you're a sculptor yourself. Looking forward to your 20th Anniversary Hulk review! I'm so much more happy with how it came out vs the 80th 2-pack Hulk.

You are right in all the issues you pointed out, but its still the best comics Captain America hasbro has ever made. The faceoff Cap was great for its time, but looks outdated, with overly bulging traps that makes him look like a Hulk Cap.

What?

I bought this, I think I might like it a little more than you did. For me, it's my favorite cap they've released and is probably the last cap I buy from legends, so I was ok with the higher price point for what you get. I think the discussion of whether these higher priced anniversary ones are worth it over a standard release depends on how you feel about the price on the standard release. I've basically stopped getting legends at 24.99 or whatever the spiderman ones are. I'll buy them if I find ones I like on sale, but 25 is too much for what a normal release is, imo. I would say that I think this one is worth $7 more than a standard figure is. Ironman is one of my favorite characters, but I passed on the anniversary one because I didn't think it was worth the price. I'm more willing to pay this price for a well done figure with a lot of accessories than I am for the garbage they charge 25 for, but I'm going to be very picky about which ones I buy at this price point.
