No justice at all lol crazy how promo pics are so important. Having it in hand made all the difference!

I see you've got the ML Blade figure in your other review, so I'll also recommend the Marvel Select Blade. The Select Blade is one of the best Blade figs I've ever seen and it's loaded with weapons to the 9s.

You know...ive always thought about getting that Select Blade but i dont normally get 7inch figs. But ill take your word for it cause i didnt think i was gonna like this captain america but i ended up liking it. Ill give the Select Blase a shot. Thanks for the recommendation.

This was the first video of yours I’ve seen. Great review, and I love your style. Subscribed! Looking forward to digging into your other videos!

@ahadiyoso3974 As well as the 7" ZD Toys Ironman figures. Sure, they are restricted by Marvel to limited articulation points just like Marvel Select, but they look great if you don't mind the lack of articulation. The newest Heartbreaker and Silver Centurion figs look great with their metallic paint. Looks may more like robotic suits than the plasticky Marvel Legends Ironman figs.

@boywithanearring That was honestly my first initial thoughts. I do collect some Mcfarlane 7inch figures so he goes well with those. But you have a valid point. The select cap is a Solid figure though if you give it a shot.

@@packedinactionfigurereviews I'm fairly certain that it's to make sure the Marvel Legends line would have less competition. If you want as many articulation points on Marvel figures from other companies, you'll have pay $70-$100 like SH Figuarts or Mafex. So ZD and Marvel Select makes up for the lack of articulation with better aesthetics at the same price point as Marvel Legends.

Nice review. I personally am so huge about scale so the Marvel Legends would always be my pick. I will say the mask off accessory and the shield is done really well. Also because of the size and scale, the Legends one has better proportions. Cap looks his normal size in Legends while the Select makes him seem trim for his height. Nothing wrong with this but I prefer Cap feeling hefty and not lean. Both nice at the end of the day.

@packedinactionfigurereviews

Thats a fair judgement. i can understamd why you would say that. id say the select is broad in the chest and more slim in his legs. Particularly the calves, and quad areas. maybe thats what gives off the slim and trim look, but i think thats a fair assessment. i shouldve done size comparison to other select figures.

AWSOME VIDEO! Where did you purchase your clear flight stands? Thanks. I like the Marvel Legends figure a bit better overall. The Diamond select figure legs are too stretched out, but his shield is FIRE! 🔥

I think you could plug the 3 hole on the shield from the back with 3D printed plugs that could be removed when you want to use the effect pieces😀

Good review. This figure looks better in hand than it does in pictures. It's better than the Marvel Legends version in terms of articulation. This is a great Silver Age version of Cap.

More accessories regarding the variations of the shields and one extra hand...im leaning on liking the aesthetics more of the MS cap, but i perfer thebscaling of the ML Cap. my heart is torn tbh lol

Classic Cap needs to be pinless, right now I display Uiltimate as the main, since he looks so good, more update joints, and the colors really stand out more, also I'm a big fan of GIJOE, so Ultimate looks more like a soldier, which is the main reason of Cap. He is a superheroe, but also a soldier.

the Ultimate Cap is honestly one of my favorite Caps. i like that he comes with an alternative angry head sculpt. Most definitely a more Modern take on Cap, but also a very practical one as well.

If Marvel Select was in 1/12 scale they would definitely be a definitive replacement for a lot of collectors. At least in regards to specific characters. The 7 inch scale prevents collectors from using them in place of Legends.
