Hot Toys recently expanded its collection of 'Television Masterpieces' with the addition of a new Captain America™ figure. The dynamic 1/6 scale figure pays homage to Sam Wilson as Captain America™ in the hit Disney+ series from Marvel Studios, 'The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.'
The Captain America™ figure from Hot Toys is depicted in a new outfit while keeping his iconic wings and carrying the symbolic shield once wielded by Steve Rogers. Expertly crafted, the hand-painted head sculpture was created to produce a highly detailed likeness of Anthony Mackie as Captain America in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, complete with goggles and face gaiter. In addition, the figure boasts eight interchangeable gloved hands for multiple posing and display options.
