Before the well known Magneto statue and the conseguent, worldwide consecration of XM Studios among the leader Companies in the production of Marvel collectibles, the Singaporean team released this first statue of Captain America, with an edition size limited to 500 samples. The piece was designed by Stanley Lau and sculpted by Muzifal; its size is 00 x 00 cm, the maximum height (exposed with the flag) is 00 cm, and the weight is about 00 Kg. The pose is one of the most iconic for the American super-soldier: he stands erect on a city sidewalk, enriched by a sewer cover and the remains of a wall, stacked on a firearm. The body is mighty and the pose instills a sense on power and pride: the right leg is bent, with the foot resting on the ruins, while the left one is fully elongated; one arm is stretched along the side and the other is raised to the shoulder height, with the head rotated with respect to the trunk. The frontal position highlights the huge rib cage of the hero, with hyper-defined pectorals and abdominals, while the excellent sculpt points out the powerful biceps, quadriceps and back muscles to perfection. The scaled suit on the upper part of the body is carved with a great care and the classic, vertical red and white strips on abdomen are separated by a very thin black line; the muscle contours are emphasized by the painting, with dark nuances on legs and vaguely bluish shades on the white patches of abdomen and arms. The colors are bright and the blue and red tonalities very faithful to the original Comics. The suit is embellished by a belt at waistline with a large, silver buckle and a lot of brown military pouches all around the figure. Note the dirty shades on both the long boots and gloves and the perfect coloring of the legendary shield the hero takes up with a great naturalness. The statue is equipped with many interchangeable add-ons: three left arms (one with a clenched fist, one raising the shield and the most classic one with a long metallic beam and the USA flag, made of resin), two right arms for alternate display, a fine art print and a silver plated coin, with a very limited run. These add-ons give a great variety for display and, at the same time, are all congruent with the pose of the character, thus maintaining the appearance of great pride and solemnity which represent the most striking features of the piece. Many collectors criticized the face of the supersoldier (maybe due to some too evident Asian somatic traits) but, in my humble opinion, it is really credible and sculpted in a very professional way: the lateral winglets are rather curved and almost attached to the temples, the large "A" is perfectly centered on the forehead, the blue eyes are highlighted by a thin black line and the overall expressiveness of the face is very appealing. In conclusion, this statue offers a very elegant and somehow classic representation of Captain America and (as far as I am concerned) represents one of the best pieces devoted to this spectacular superhero.
