It's been over 5 years since Avengers: Endgame was released and, believe it or not, more than a decade since Captain America: The Winter Soldier first hit the big screen.
The latter was a game-changer for Chris Evans' Steve Rogers, with directors Joe and Anthony Russo - who only had filmmaking experience in the comedy realm at the time - making Cap one of the MCU's biggest badasses.
Now, Hot Toys has revealed its Captain America (Stealth S.T.R.I.K.E. Suit) 2.0 1/6th scale figure based on the character's likeness in the 2014 blockbuster. The eerily realistic collectable looks like it's stepped straight off the screen and is a major improvement over the first version released several years ago.
This suit also has quite the history on the page as it's what Steve Rogers wore as both a member of the Secret Avengers and during his stint calling the shots at S.H.I.E.L.D. when Bucky Barnes was serving as Captain America.
"It was honestly a thrill," Anthony Russo said of The Winter Soldier's legacy in an interview from earlier this year. "I mean that whole period was so immersive and thrilling for us. We basically entered the MCU on that movie and exited it seven years later with Endgame."
"That whole ride was like a rollercoaster that more and more people kept joining. We started working with Marvel in 2012 and Endgame released in 2019," he continued. "I mean, when you think about it only being seven years, that’s a lot to pack in - four movies in seven years."

This thoughtfully upgraded figure elevates fans’ collecting experience with newly developed head sculpt, newly tailored suit, to even newly sculpted hands and physique.
Dominated by navy blue, Captain America’s Stealth S.T.R.I.K.E. Suit features muted tones that help him blend into his surroundings, and its sophisticated design has garnered love from fans for more than a decade since its screen debut. The 2.0 version of Captain America (Stealth S.T.R.I.K.E. Suit) is crafted based on Chris Evans’s Captain America/Steve Rogers appearance in Captain America: The Winter Soldier.
It features a newly sculpted Steve Rogers head with finely harmonized facial features, expression, and face shape, along with a new helmeted head sculpt with interchangeable lower faces. The figure also includes a new specialized muscular body and authentic fabric representation that enhances fitting of the suit, as well as Cap’s iconic blue and silver shield and a newly developed magnetic themed figure stand.
