"Who likes belly rubs?? You do! Yes you do! Good boy!"As posted in the PO thread, Cap/Venom set is up at BBTS and Amazon.
I like the clever use of the shield effect piece in this pic:

Same. I used to only keep one version of a character, but I've given that up of late. I've got 20th Cap on my Cap shelf and currently have the Secret Wars Cap on my Avengers Shelf. The Gamerverse figure will replace the latter, which will go on a new Secret Wars shelf. I both love and hate rearranging displays, but that's another thread for another time...The more I look at that Gamerverse Cap the more I like him.
I never got the Secret Wars Cap so I'm pretty excited to get this one.
Y'know, the more I look at him, the more he's what I WANTED from a Secret Wars Cap - I wanted a Marvel Legends quality figure of the 5 POA Cap I had as a kid (the bright blue, the smooth texture). That was my first Cap and really my only one til I started collecting Heroclix and then Legends in my 40s, and the Gamerverse version feels like exactly that figure.Same.

Almost twenty years back now, Dark Reign.You can make that figure with a simple headswap!
In the actual gameplay and not just glamour shots are the heads of the Rivals characters always that small? They are distractingly tiny.
Also, "Dark X-Men" - is that a current plot?
I went ahead and grabbed the Cap/Venom pack. I'll sell that Venom off to some lucky person who wants it more than me, but for me I'm using that Cap to complete the Infinity Gauntlet diorama I've been meaning to build for a while now. Specifically this bit:![]()
I know technically Cap has the scales here, but I think the Gamerverse one will do. I suppose they might do a Maximum version at some point I'd prefer, but I think this one will work for me.
Yeah, I recall a time where shoelaces basically did not exist in superhero costumes because deadlines are such a beast. Having worked in indie comics for a while I have some very well-developed opinions about how the bar for detail in comic art has changed over the years, while the pay per page and deadlines for issues very much have not. Guys like Finch, Cassaday, McNiven, Charest, Hitch, etc, they really upped the bar for realism, but even they often couldn't get books out on schedule with that standard.Yeah technically Cap always had the scales in the comics. Artists assigned to the cap book typically adopted more of a minimalistic approach to help stay on track of their deadlines. It was really artists like John Cassaday, Dave Finch and Steve McNiven who adopted the more detailed style that really transformed Captain America’s costume in the early 2000’s and beyond and one of the big features they gave cap was making the scale mail look like armored plates with lots of redundant layers. Also it had the bonus effect of looking like eagle plumage to help sell Cap’s patriotic symbolism

No question. Sometimes magic happens when you're on a deadline, but as with sports, the more rest and recovery you get, the better you perform.It's a massive segue, but I think comics should probably have dropped monthly issue release schedules about 20 years ago. We'd have better books
