The 9/11 tribute statue of Captain America was released in 2004 by Diamond Select’s Marvel Milestones, with an edition size limited to 2500 samples, in memory of the unforgettable terrorist attack on twin towers of New York. The piece is quite heavy, approximately 35 cm tall and was sculpted by Eli Livingston, with the contribution of Scott Derman. Presumably, this is the most evocative among all Marvel statues available on market: the key-character, symbolizing Freedom and Justice, stands erect in a frontal pose with the head slightly bent over and the eyes closed, as in a moment of resigned contemplation; both the arms are bent forward and gently hold up a bruised flag of the United States. The physique of the super soldier is exactly what we expect: wide shoulders, bumped biceps, well defined abdominals and powerful muscles on legs, pointed out by dark shades everywhere. The scaled upper part of the suit is well sculpted, while the classic circular shield is hooked on back by two leather straps, thus leaving both the hands of the character free. The colors' tonalities used for suit are rather faithful to Comics, but appear a bit pallid, as to emphasize the sorrowfull atmosphere of the whole figure. Nevertheless, the most appariscent feature of the piece is the melancholy expression of the hero, with both the eyes and mouth closed in a sort of religious silence. The piece is equipped with a hand-numbered Certificate of Authenticity and two interchangeable US flags, made of a semi-rigid fabric: one is pristine, while the other shows evident rips and burns in order to emphasize the dreadful tragedy which struck all the American (and not only) people. The base is circular and shows a mantle of debris, where the remains of a large metal beam and some reinforced concrete ruins stand out. Apart from any consideration about the quality and the overall aesthetics of the piece, I think this statue represents a collectible of a great charm and relevance; not by chance, its availability on market is quite poor and the quotations are, in general, quite high, thus demonstrating the general appreciation of collectors.
