Gentle Giant Ltd is a Californian Company dedicated to the production of sculptures and digital models with a production ranging from movies (Harry Potter, The Hobbit, The Walking Dead, Honey Trap, and especially Star Wars, where it collaborated directly with the creation of the second episode of the saga) to Comics. In 2012 the Company launched a series of very original resins (Statues with Vehicles), where the character is actually portrayed "on board" a vehicle and was focused on Marvel heroes: Deadpool, Hawkeye, Ghost Rider and Captain America. The statue devoted to the American supersoldier is nothing short of amazing! Steve Rogers is depicted on a motorcycle in the II World War old style, colored with a perfect military green tone, with huge wheels and a large handlebars. The piece was released in 2013, with an edition size limited to 320 pieces. The hero wears a blue uniform with very realistic traits, equipped with a sort of waistcoat, closed by silvery buttons on one side and embellished with the typical white star, centered on chest, and red and white strips on abdomen. A lot of pouches (carved in a masterly way and looking like made of real leather) are located at waistline, while two long strips tighten the three-pointed, old version shield on his shoulders. The boots have a high rubber sole and are covered by high shin guards equipped with small buttons and braided shoelaces, which clamp the trousers at calf level. The whole figure is characterized by a maniacal attention paid to details. Note the folds of fabric on arms and legs, the many buttons and buckles on any pocket, the turtleneck sweater coming out from the uniform at neck and wrists, the fine leather gloves and, above all, the beautiful Thompson submachine gun which the hero holds with the right hand and a great naturalness. A leather mask covers the head and the face up to the nose, while two openings, made of a transparent material, serve as motorcycle goggles; a separate helmet, equipped with an unfastened belt and the classic, large "A" on the forehead, completes the outstanding suit of the character. The sculpt and finishes of the motorcycle are even more impressive! The vehicle is rather low and characterized by two large wheels with a perfect, deep tread; a mainly tubular structure leaves the engine (located under the rounded tank and the leather seat of the hero) uncovered and connect the central part with the fenders and the large handlebars. Note the details of the frontal circular light, the rear-view mirror on the left, the springs of the front shock absorbers, the double rear lights, the wide lateral platforms for feet or the concentric plates constituting the wheel rims. On the back side, two capacios leather bags (closed by three strips and metallic buckles) leave astonished because of their incredible realism, due to the adopted texture, the sculpt of the fabric folds and the perfect coloring. As for the other statues of the series, the base is elliptical in shape and separated from the figure: it has a mirrored base and acts as a simple, beautiful pedestal for the statue. It is not difficult to find this amazing piece in the collectibles' market, but the price, in general, is rather high; on the other hand, the overall quality of the sculpt and the incredible care paid to details make it one of the finest 1:6 statues devoted to this key-figure of the Marvel Universe.
