From the Work Bench: Marvel Infinite Captain America (Age of Ultron)

In the latest series of Marvel Legends / Infinite, we have more obscure characters like Batrog and Hellcat paired with the more familiar movie versions of Cap, Iron Man, and the Hulk. The face sculpts on these figures are pretty impressive, especially the build-a-figure Thanos. On the reverse, it looks like Hasbro selected characters that didn't require a lot of sculpting beyond the new head. The figures based on the new Avengers movie are mostly recycled parts as well. C'est la vie.

Anyway, this is concerning the movie version of Captain America.  While he does have a new chest piece, most of the rest of him is recycled from the Winter Soldier figure. This leads to some inaccuracies in the portrayal of the new suit.  But the main gripe is the paint.  The "white" in the suit was the worse, with a lot of the blue plastic showing through. So I basically repainted all of it white.
