Description If you walked through Walmart or took the bus/subway a few months before the Avengers movie came out you may have seen Earth's mightiest heroes plasters on signs. And if you looked closely you would have noticed Captain America's ears were showing and his suit design was different than what you saw on screen. As requested I modded a Walmart exclusive Avengers Cap figure by resculpted the cowl, adding ears, straps, and the alternate paint scheme with the blue in the boots and dark blue on the legs. I gave him a removable magnetic holster like the concept art cap had using a gun as well. One battle-worn paint job on the shield and he was ready to defend this nation. Giving Cap ears makes him look remarkably better and now I wish they had gone this way in the movie. Oh well, there's always Captain America 2 right?

I'd love to see you incorporate that iconic A and set of wings into a Spartan helmet...

Honestly, you can't get the silhouette of Cap's head right without both the ears and the wings. Whether or not it's "practical", if you sacrifice something people automatically associate and visualize with a character for "realism", you've sacrificed too much. Good job with the custom!

The problem with the ears I have is them getting cut off in the middle of battle. I doubt Cap would have a hard time protecting them though with his badassery.

I guess they couldn't make the chain mail work in the real world. great fig. I think Cap needs a gun too...he's in the military come on!

What about his nose or lips then? Maybe Cap should have a full-face helmet if he's a true melee fighter

The ears look a little silly, but other than that, this is an awesome custom.
