January 2010 New Specialty Toys — All







Captain America stands approximately 12 ½ inches tall (1/6th scale) with one foot on a rocky stone base decorated with the classic Avengers “A” logo. The deluxe motif base connects to those of the other members of the Avengers Reborn series, Thor and Iron Man. Sculpted by master artist Junnosuke Abe, Captain America is constructed of high-quality cold cast porcelain and is a limited, numbered edition. Created in 1941 by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby, Captain America started from humble beginnings as Steve Rogers, who enlisted into the U.S. military and recruited into the "Super Soldier" program. After receiving the "Super Soldier" serum, Rogers was transormed him into a paragon of human athleticism. With a red, white, and blue costume and special aerodynamic shield, Captain America burst onto the superhero scene. Throughout his illustrious career Rogers would team up with other heroes and fight alongside the Avengers on multiple occasions. Though he was thought dead at the end of the Civil War storyline, the original Captain America was displaced in time and is destined to return as a member of the Avengers Reborn with Thor and Iron Man.
