Below is the first official image and description of NECA's 'Captain America' action figure based on the iconic Marvel character's appearance in The Avengers earlier this year. As you can see from the Tweet below, NECA clearly have a lot of plans for Marvel's range of characters, although whether or not that will stretch to figures based on the comic books (rather than just the movies) remains to be seen.
Our first 1/4 scale figure from our newly-acquired Marvel Comics license, the Captain America action figure stands 18″ tall and features loads of detail and articulation. Over 25 points of articulation including neck, shoulders, torso, elbows, hips, knees, wrists, and more. Includes Cap’s signature shield with straps and interchangeable hands.
Marvel Studios presents in association with Paramount Pictures Marvel’s The Avengers--the super hero team up of a lifetime, featuring iconic Marvel super heroes Iron Man, the Incredible Hulk, Thor, Captain America, Hawkeye and Black Widow. When an unexpected enemy emerges that threatens global safety and security, Nick Fury, Director of the international peacekeeping agency known as S.H.I.E.L.D., finds himself in need of a team to pull the world back from the brink of disaster. Spanning the globe, a daring recruitment effort begins.
