AVENGERS CAPTAIN AMERICA (unmasked):
totally simple head swap... for some absurd reason Hasbro didn't sculpt their new Caps with the same size neck peg, but all I needed to do was trim the tip off the neck ball on the modern Cap to make the unmasked head fit more naturally.
RED SKULL (trenchcoat):
I wanted to do some "unfinished business" Cap movie figures for a while now, and things came together when I found some Red Skull and Hydra troops on clearance at the Disney Store. In the movie, Schmidt is most commonly seen in his black trenchcoat, so I really wanted to make this look. I used the Hydra Troop body, which added some much-needed height to the offscale Skull, along with the Skull's head and forearms. The harness is a Hydra Troop flipped backward (which looks pretty close to the pattern of the Skull's coat), and I glued some clipping of Wolverine claws for the silver buttons going down the jacket. The lower half of the jacket was a LOTR 6" figure cape, wrapped around Skull's waist and secured in place underneath the belt of the harness.
