Sorry...ZERO interest in this one. I like my four color statues best, black & white is just not my cup.

It's probably gonna be an exclusive web deal anyways, so here's one i don't mind missing.

I'd like him to look like he was coming off of the 1940's silver screen. Grey face all the way.

I know nothing about this character so really have no interest in the statue. From the posts I am guessing there was a movie or something from the 1940s with this character. I think I remember seeing some pics Al posted of a skinny guy dressed in a B&W Captain America costume. If that is the case then is this really a good representation of the character? It would seem to be a very modern take on a very old character. I thought the whole point of the classic thing was to have true representations of the original character. If not then it seems like this is similar to DC's B&W line of modern characters.

oops... give me a sec.
Thanks Jack, that explains a lot. I was thinking characters from the 40's can't possibly look like this. I think a B&W line from Bowen may be cool. The DC stuff doess very well.

How cool would it be if the movie version ended up looking exactly like this...?

I was thinking the exact same thing, when I first saw this costume!

I can even see Jensen Ackles face in this statue, just a little bit.

Does anyone know if Ackles is still being considered for the part of Steve Rogers?

I love how on a board where we see sculpts of giant horned creatures, chicks wearing thongs to fight evil, and super spies in high heels on a daily basis that suddenly people need explanation as to why Cap would wear a black and white suit and still have a flesh toned face. And if said explanation isn't sufficient, they're not interested.

Just a clarification for those of you that might run out to get Captain America #290: The B&W look on the cover is just an effect. There is no B&W costume featured in the book anywhere. Cover just looks cool.

Can we get a side pic? I'd like to see the wings. They are a little different aren't they?
