The packaging has become such a nostalgic thing for me. Feels like something in a comic shop in the mid 00s basically because it was lol. I love Diamond and other companies just trying to make definitive versions of characters and packing then with accessories, putting out the absolute best they can with the engineer available at this price point. It always feels like Hasbro cheaps out or half asses releases so they can easily update or repaint the figures in a short amount of time.
We’re living in a multiverse where a Marvel Select figure looks and poses better than the Marvel Legends figure. What a growth for Diamond! Can’t wait for more figures like these. I could only imagine a classic Iron Man with interchangeable chest plate and horned head. Man!..
For anyone that's interested in doing away with the shading on Caps head, you can use Citadel Colors Layer "Teclis Blue" straight outta the jar. Perfect match!
27:24 really cool shot! I never plan to keep figures unopened but I liked MS Red Hulk so much in the package that I haven't come to the idea of getting him out. Those packages do look good with big characters
Got mine in the mail. Best Captain America figure ever in my opinion. This is the Cap I grew up with. THIS IS LIKE HE WAS RIPPED RIGHT OUT OF THE COMICS I USED TO READ. I want at least one more so I can have his classic look with his old shield & new look with current shield. Great review!!!! Liked/Subscribed.
Man after all these years Marvel Select still has such a sense of artistry to them which so many figure lines have lost over time, at least to me. Sure there's definite issues in places that hold them back, but they just look so good. I used to collect them a lot back in the day since for whatever reason they were easier for me to find than Marvel Legends were, and I mostly collected NECA figures anyway so they fit in, but as time has gone on and my focus has turned more towards Marvel Legends, I still pick up the occasional Select figure that can fit in. I just got their Crimson Dynamo last week, had sentimental attachment to the Minimates figure of him they made back in the day which I lost years ago, but that new figure brought all those feelings back and looks great on the Marvel Legends shelf.
I love a ton of things about it, so overall I do want it but with so much stuff coming out and where a lot of us are with our collections, Im just gonna hold off for a while and if I don';t end up with it ah well. That shield though is so awesome and I actually love the black shadow on the mask. Awesome review!
Cap looks great! He also has swivel at the glove. Diamond is in a role! He is up there with Hulk, Titanium Man, Crimson Dynamo, Vision, Drax and Gamora.
Wow there are some great design choices here. I really like that shield set up. Its simplicity and versatility is commendable. The black on the mask is classic. It’s how I see Cap. Hasbro needs to up their neck articulation game. That does look good. My son loves Cap. I may get this for him.
Definitely prefer maintaining the sculpt and having decent swivel at the top of the thigh. I don’t think it needs much more range than that for most posing. Especially for a cap fig
Great review! I'll definitely be tracking one down at my LCS! If you're digging what DST has been putting out, you should snag their Mister Fantastic and even the rest of the Fantastic Four! Reed and Sue are phenomenal
When I first saw the pics for this I wasn’t sure. But it really is a great figure! It has a lot going for it, especially the shields. The thing that bugs me is the shadowing in the cowl. I wish they wouldn’t do it. But it is really good.
He looks like a great Silver Age Cap. It would be cool if they made a Bucky to go with him. I wish the Blade figure they made last year had this articulation.
I personally prefer the method of thigh swivel they've given this figure. It's got plenty of range and preserves the sculpt. Awesome review, thanks for sharing!
It's surprising to me that most 'critics' haven't noted the smooth knee and elbow joints, resembling those of Mafex or SH Figuarts figures when they fold in on themselves. From an aesthetic standpoint, this feature seems superior to whether the figure has pins or not. Meanwhile, figures from ML or McFarlane often have noticeable cuts, yet this aspect doesn't receive much attention.
I think it’s one of those things and receives attention when it’s bad. I feel you though. That’s a big reason I can’t collect McFarland stuff, the joint cuts are hideous. Hasbro usually handles it pretty well though.
I do not generally get MS figures unless they scale with ML, however this Cap does look amazing and that shield looks like it would fit an ML Cap perfectly. Meanwhile I could leave the MS as a classic WW2 Cap.
This is the most definitive captain America ever. All these years I’ve been complaining to hasbro about his missing utility belt . Diamond select got it right.❤❤❤❤also he looks like he’s from EARTHS MIGHTIEST HERO . I like this one so much I had to get another one. Too place with my World War Two marvel and Dc heroes.
we need a joe fixit , a maestro from the 90s , a hulk buster iron man , a juggernaut , colossus juggernaut , a colossus , a thing , a thanos , abomination upgraded , a real immortal hulk , cosmic hulk , devil hulk and titan hulk , a ulik , a wendigo.
Here are what my favorite selects are captain America the new one ultron immortal hulk plus the Redhulk variant Hugh jackman wolverine ps4 spider man silver centiurian Ironman marvel now Thor watcher modern than Oscar deystroyer Drax comic version groot comic version rogue pylocke hulk buster juggernaut abomination lizard rhino venom both versions carnage both versions anti venom far from home spider man comic and movie gladiator hulk titanium man all the fantastic four vision marvel now Hawkeye movie iron spider infinity war Ironman beast colossus silver surfer homecoming spider man brown suit unmasked wolverine days of future past wolverine cloak and dagger ultimate hulk and symbiote spider man
This is the best Captain America figure ever. It would be my favorite but the other MS figures ain't even close to this art style so I can't mix this figure with them. I can't pair him with my Legends though because he's to tall. The problem basically is he's too good😂.
Very nice figure all around, great details, but the scale Yeesh! Marvel Select figures are GIGANTIC, so if this Cap is 11” the let’s not even talk about the scale of a Hulk or Juggernaut 😮You need to have a ton of real estate to collect this line. And what about a full sized Sentinel?😬 It would be the size of a toddler😅
I do personally love Captain America because he is never afraid and shows his patriotism despite Red Skull or Hydra lurking in the shadows trying to take over, However, I still think Steve looks cool especially the head sculpts and with his 2 shields, I don't collect Select figures but great review.
It's a nice looking figure. I can hear the drama queen dudes goin off on the loose joints, and whatever else they can think of to be unhappy about, but it's a nice taller cap that would match well with Mcfarlane DC scale if you were to do a Marvel vs DC thing 2024. I just vanilla pose most of my figs anyways, so this is a nice addition to the Select series of Avengers...
To me it’s between this and the recently announced mezco classic cap. I FUCKING LOVE the mezco aesthetic but i will admit. Idk if i wanna wait till sept-oct AND drop like $123.00 on it. This amount of detail and accessories for just like 30 bucks?!?!? Copping it as soon as i can but ngl that mezco is MINE lol
Its so upsetting that they gotta be just 1 inch up in scale 😭 It doesn't make a difference for big guys like Hulk or Juggernaut but figures like Cap will always be out of scale with marvel legends
It’s so tempting but I'm on a budget, his legs look a bit strange, and it doesn’t scale with my collection which is important to me. I doubt I’ll be able to resist if I see him in a store though. Oh who am I kidding I'm already brainstorming solutions for the legs and I don’t even have it, I’ll just buy it already lol
There are a lot of great things about this figure, but, to me, the proportions are just too far removed from my kinds eye of Captain America. Not only are his legs kind of long, but his torso area seems too tubular and thin, so he overall just looks kind of lanky to me, and I always imagine Captain America as one step removed from a Schwarzenegger body builder.
I don’t know about cheap when it comes to the price HAHAHA but yes ever since that SHF Tobey Maguire spiderman I was like hell no I’m not buying another import bad experience
Yes, it's the exact same size as the 20th, so I swapped shields with the Diamond & it clips on his wrist nicely. 20th didn't come with a gripping hand, but luckily, I had one in red from another figure & it holds the strap perfectly.
Best Captain America “in this scale” lol, that’s because marvel select is making some weird scale no one wants, there are no other caps in that scale :) If MS was a proper 6 inch it wouldn’t compete with even the worst brands like ML.
Honestly, sometimes the camera picks up stuff I don’t see hahaha. If I can’t see it outside of the magnifying glass, I figure it’s not worth mentioning haha
That blue on nose is supposed to be blue not black as a highlight. This look is totally based on the 80’s Cap drawn by Mike Zeck. Search his Cap covers & Secret Wars stuff & it’s obvious. Zeck also created the original black symbiote suit for Spidey, his art is awesome.
Hasbro make such trash bag dumpster fire toys compared to this... My goodness. A hero fig that actually looks heroic. Hasbro have those nasty boxed out joints and frumpy dumpy bodies that look almost like cosplayers. This makes me want to collect Marvel again.
Time for a new figure on the intro.
Why?! I like it lol
@@rayden9713Because this Cap needs to replace it.
@@cookedit nah this guy sucks
agreed
Marvel Select is doing an amazing job lately. They are releasing banger after banger. And their price-value is incredible.
Once they give us a good wolverine and spider-man it’s time to go all in
@@Sayacalbees87They gave us a good Spidey.
@@sitafuller497 it is but could definitely benefit from an update

I am only getting this figure for the box 😂😂
We’re living in a multiverse where a Marvel Select figure looks and poses better than the Marvel Legends figure. What a growth for Diamond! Can’t wait for more figures like these. I could only imagine a classic Iron Man with interchangeable chest plate and horned head. Man!..
Man it’s crazy that they did such a good job on this! This probably beats all of the current Caps out there but Hasbro COULD top it if they try!
For anyone that's interested in doing away with the shading on Caps head, you can use Citadel Colors Layer "Teclis Blue" straight outta the jar. Perfect match!
27:24 really cool shot!
I never plan to keep figures unopened but I liked MS Red Hulk so much in the package that I haven't come to the idea of getting him out. Those packages do look good with big characters
Your skills at posing action figures are unmatched. 👌🏻 it's the reason why I purchase some figures lol
Haha thanks a lot man!
Yeah I second that, Same here posing the Figure is everything
Going to look awesome paired with their Mighty Thor, Silver Centurion Iron Man and Immortal Hulk.
Let’s goooo Wade!! I’ve been waiting for your review on this one! Awesome that Select knew to send this to you haha

I had a lot of blemishes on mine. Took a little bit of nail polish removal to him, and it worked a treat!
This the review I was waiting on. Let’s go Wade!!!
Cap looks great! He also has swivel at the glove.
Diamond is in a role! He is up there with Hulk, Titanium Man, Crimson Dynamo, Vision, Drax and Gamora.
I need 2. One to keep in kirby style, and one to keep modern
Wow there are some great design choices here. I really like that shield set up. Its simplicity and versatility is commendable. The black on the mask is classic. It’s how I see Cap. Hasbro needs to up their neck articulation game. That does look good. My son loves Cap. I may get this for him.
I've got the avenging Cap from diamond on my select shelf... really tempted to upgrade to this new one
Hasbro needs to give us a new first appearance Cap with a new classic Bucky in a 2pk.
Definitely prefer maintaining the sculpt and having decent swivel at the top of the thigh. I don’t think it needs much more range than that for most posing. Especially for a cap fig
Great review! I'll definitely be tracking one down at my LCS! If you're digging what DST has been putting out, you should snag their Mister Fantastic and even the rest of the Fantastic Four! Reed and Sue are phenomenal

Also the star on his chest is nice and big the way it supposed to be. .
He looks like a great Silver Age Cap. It would be cool if they made a Bucky to go with him. I wish the Blade figure they made last year had this articulation.
man i wish the invincible figures were this good
Shoot, for real! I would have been all in!
True dat! Mafex would Kill Invincible figs!!!!!
That chainmail looks awesome!
There is no chainmail sculpt on this figure
He means scalemail.
@@Maverick5uk its a smooth sculpt as anyone can see
Check the shoulders and under the star. There's definitely a scalemail pattern that I can see
its done the way it was drawn in the comics pre 2000's.
I personally prefer the method of thigh swivel they've given this figure. It's got plenty of range and preserves the sculpt. Awesome review, thanks for sharing!
Your not fooling me flipper frank I see you
I bought the 20th anniversary cap and the immortal hulk because I saw your review. Now you have definitely sold me on this one too
Been waiting for you to review this one. No other TH-camrs opinon matters more! In saying that, I need this now!
Best cap so far. Just a shame i dont collect select figs
I had this figure about 2 weeks..love it. we do need a marvel select original iron man.good vid.
0:52 The packaging is packing.
If you aren’t here to complain about the lack of shorts, you aren’t welcome here!
This thing has more accessories than the upcoming Mafex Cap….How?
Its a solid figure!
The paint job could be better but in overall I loved the accessories, the shields, belts, heads its realy good !
It's really the best Cap figure right now ❤😮 with just a few accessories variations he can be Cap from 80's, from 40's and a more modern version.
It's surprising to me that most 'critics' haven't noted the smooth knee and elbow joints, resembling those of Mafex or SH Figuarts figures when they fold in on themselves. From an aesthetic standpoint, this feature seems superior to whether the figure has pins or not. Meanwhile, figures from ML or McFarlane often have noticeable cuts, yet this aspect doesn't receive much attention.
I think it’s one of those things and receives attention when it’s bad. I feel you though. That’s a big reason I can’t collect McFarland stuff, the joint cuts are hideous. Hasbro usually handles it pretty well though.
The more I see this figure online the more I can picture it next to Knightfall Batman on my shelf. 🤘🖤
Hey Bro! I´m from Mexico City, It´s a Dope figure, I really love it! Just a sugestion its maybe the time to do another top 10 Marvel Select video!!
The photos look so dope! And i can't wait for mine!!!
The marvel select Mighty Thor is really good. The one with the spinning hammer! I think he might go well with this Cap
I do not generally get MS figures unless they scale with ML, however this Cap does look amazing and that shield looks like it would fit an ML Cap perfectly. Meanwhile I could leave the MS as a classic WW2 Cap.
This is the most definitive captain America ever. All these years I’ve been complaining to hasbro about his missing utility belt . Diamond select got it right.❤❤❤❤also he looks like he’s from EARTHS MIGHTIEST HERO . I like this one so much I had to get another one. Too place with my World War Two marvel and Dc heroes.
Their apocalypse was fire too
I think ml thor looks alright next to cap. Ironman u can substitute it with Mezco ironman
Did you ever review the Select Apocalypse?
Would SO love to see another DS classic Spidey! 🤞🤞
we need a joe fixit , a maestro from the 90s , a hulk buster iron man , a juggernaut , colossus juggernaut , a colossus , a thing , a thanos , abomination upgraded , a real immortal hulk , cosmic hulk , devil hulk and titan hulk , a ulik , a wendigo.
Does he scale with Marvel Legends?
He looks good next to that Phantom
Is that hole in his back not for one of the shields?
I wonder what all the 7inch figs doesn't scale with my collection folks have to say?
Here are what my favorite selects are captain America the new one ultron immortal hulk plus the Redhulk variant Hugh jackman wolverine ps4 spider man silver centiurian Ironman marvel now Thor watcher modern than Oscar deystroyer Drax comic version groot comic version rogue pylocke hulk buster juggernaut abomination lizard rhino venom both versions carnage both versions anti venom far from home spider man comic and movie gladiator hulk titanium man all the fantastic four vision marvel now Hawkeye movie iron spider infinity war Ironman beast colossus silver surfer homecoming spider man brown suit unmasked wolverine days of future past wolverine cloak and dagger ultimate hulk and symbiote spider man

Yooooo, what shield are you using for the 20th Anni ML Cap? 👀
I think it’s the ToyBiz Face Off Cap Shield
@@UnparalleledUniverse Fosho! Bless up & thank you! 🙌🏽
what size is he? 6 or 7 inches ??
The definitive Captain America 👏👏👏🇺🇸🦅
Heck yeah!
yo do a comparison with sentinel mafex and marvel legends into the spider verse miles
Very nice figure all around, great details, but the scale Yeesh! Marvel Select figures are GIGANTIC, so if this Cap is 11” the let’s not even talk about the scale of a Hulk or Juggernaut 😮You need to have a ton of real estate to collect this line.
And what about a full sized Sentinel?😬 It would be the size of a toddler😅
Marvel select is 7" scale, where do you get 12" from?
I'm buying it..
I do personally love Captain America because he is never afraid and shows his patriotism despite Red Skull or Hydra lurking in the shadows trying to take over, However, I still think Steve looks cool especially the head sculpts and with his 2 shields, I don't collect Select figures but great review.

If they do this good over and over I’ll sell all my Legends. 😊
Looks like you need 3 of him!
Shooot I’m definitely down for 2

This amount of detail and accessories for just like 30 bucks?!?!? Copping it as soon as i can but ngl that mezco is MINE lol
this is definitely the best cap figure.
He’s up there for sure!
If he was wearing chain mail it would be the best cap figure ever.
sucks that select figures don't scale with marvel legends

Long upper thighs drives me nuts, have to pass since don’t want to custom both legs

Daaaaaaaaannng!!!! Great Fucken review!! Love that it’s seven inch scale. Bought to go buy this mofo cuz of your review. Love it🫡
Imports feel cheap to me. I honestly can’t stand imports
I don’t know about cheap when it comes to the price HAHAHA but yes ever since that SHF Tobey Maguire spiderman I was like hell no I’m not buying another import bad experience
I'm not particularly in love with the look of this guy, but the shield looks perfect for the 20th Anniversary figure

Captain America?
@@Sayacalbees87 yea
20th is my definitive
this is perfect! but the scale...
Honestly, the accesories (heads,shields, straps and belts) are doing all the heavy lifting, cause the figure itself is not that good.
Not gona talk about the huge chip in the middle of his mask??!!😂😂😂
Honestly, sometimes the camera picks up stuff I don’t see hahaha. If I can’t see it outside of the magnifying glass, I figure it’s not worth mentioning haha
Fair point sir, i thought it was an easy spot but I didthink about your end, like you say, through the screen. Great review as always sir. 🤜🏻👍🏻👌🏻
I think it's for shadow depth? Since nose / eye brow bridge.
That is supposed to be a blue part
That blue on nose is supposed to be blue not black as a highlight.
This look is totally based on the 80’s Cap drawn by Mike Zeck.
Search his Cap covers & Secret Wars stuff & it’s obvious.
Zeck also created the original black symbiote suit for Spidey, his art is awesome.
Hate that scale, wish someone overseas would knock this off at a smaller size. Beautiful fig but not fitting into my setup unfortunately.
That head sculpt, the paint etc looks AWFUL
I disagree.
