Navaan Posted July 31 Posted July 31 Of all Caps, which was your favorite, or alternatively, which was the best done? Quote
buttheadsmate Posted July 31 Posted July 31 51 Minimate Caps ,21 years & it's still a very good question . Many a discussion has been had on minimate characters with masks , slip-ons ,slip-overs etc. & the Cap 'mate is no exception . Wave 25 is 'near' , that's the best I can do. Quote
elhonez Posted July 31 Posted July 31 #24 / "Best Of" is my favorite base Cap. Then I like to mishmash-modify with accessories, like a harness, and a shield with a sculpted back. Quote
minifigvig Posted August 1 Posted August 1 Invaders and Reborn from “Through the Ages” are my top 2 for Best i remember loving the original wave 5 figure, just seeing the promo pics had me excited. cap and nightcrawler might’ve been my favorite figures from that era! Quote
Trekker 42 Posted August 1 Posted August 1 (edited) Oooo I was intending to start threads like this. I wanna give you three since I feel like these categories are completely reasonable. I want to do these for every Marvel character with lots of variants at some point. Best Classic Comic Cap: Civil War Captain America from Wave 42. Beautiful base Cap suit with that very nice alternate helmet and the Avengers motorcycle jacket. Two great looks and represents the comic character so well. Best Alternate Cap: Sam Wilson Captain America. I love Sam’s suit, the wings look great, and it’s a pivotal character done very well. Best Movie Cap: TWS Stealth Uniform. This Cap’s uniform is particularly striking with its deep blues and that painted shield looks really damn cool. Edited August 1 by Trekker 42 Quote

It’s so small and butt ass ugly. The fact that movie Taskmaster, Red Guardian, and Gamerverse Cap are stuck with them is just such a crime. At least with John Walker I can replace his with a spare from another Movie Cap. Those three there’s no salvation. Quote

Oh, do you mean the Bucky Cap? Yeah, I think that is the best 'Not Steve' Cap. He looks great with or without the mask, and while the belt is a titch bulky, I think it still works and I love the metallic blue! Quote

I think I agree on the Reborn as the best 'classic styled' Cap, but many get so close, too, shout outs to WWII Cap from the same set, and Civil War Cap (comic) with MvC 3 Cap being great, too, to me. I think my absolute FAVORITE buck/body is the Super Soldier/Commander Rogers Minimate, but I hate the head and often replace it. Quote
MJtheJuiceman26 Posted August 6 Posted August 6 Personally a huge fan of the MCU Infinity War Cap, or the TRU Wave 6! But the Secret War one is masterful. Quote

Shanester Posted August 7 Posted August 7 So many Captain America Minis. I think my favorite is from the Classic Heroic Age boxset. Wave 44 was a good one, also. Quote
THE_CRIPPLER Posted August 8 Posted August 8 For me it is a toss up between these two: http://minimatedatabase.com/figure.php?i=1069&n=Captain+America http://minimatedatabase.com/figure.php?i=1390&n=Captain+America Hail Ivan! Quote
