Limited Edition 75th Anniversary Captain America Replica
To mark the 75th anniversary of Captain America’s first appearance in print, Marvel, in association with Comicave Studios, unveiled a life-size bronze of the first Avenger on 20 July at San Diego Comic-Con 2016. Designed by Comicave in conjunction with Marvel artists, and sculpted by Dave Cortes, the monumental bronze made a poignant tour of Steve Roger’s home borough of Brooklyn at the close of Comic-Con.
Royal Selangor’s magnificent ¼ scale limited edition pewter replica, commissioned by Comicave, debuted at the same event. Superbly detailed, the replica stands at 93cm or 36.5in inclusive of its timber base, weighs 15kg or 33lb, and is shipped in a custom-designed wood chest.
