Hey guys. Welcome back to RobToys. It's Robby here.
You must remember this particular scene in Endgame when Captain called Mjolnir to him.
He caught the hammer and beat Thanos up with that. What an iconic scene!
Right after I watched Endgame, I couldn't wait to recreate that scene with my figures.
With Hot Toys takes another year to release its Captain,
so I use my Captain CW version to recreate that scene.
I borrowed the Mjolnir from Thor.
Unfortunately, Captain's shield was still a whole.
While in the Endgame movie, you notice that Captain's shield was cut into half by Thanos.
So my pose was not entirely accurate.
I preordered this, guys.
I PO-ed it from last July 2019.
It took 6 months to get to me.
Let's unbox that thing now!
Thanks to everyone who has subscribed to my channel

Last night the Post Office guy called me, telling me I had a package from Hong Kong waiting there.
One of the best news :)
I immediately ran to the Post Office to pick this up.
The box is red. Art by Art 1:6 Metal Shield
Let's open it. Take off the black Styrofoam, and here we are.
Broken Shield for my Captain America.
It's diecast.
It's quite heavy.
Later I will compare the details and the weight to the one from Hot Toys.
By the way, I bought this for USD 45
I ordered this from Andika Hidayat (Facebook)
Or contact him at his IG account
He's specialized in 1:12 figures.
Also customizing HS.
I put the link in the description box below.
All the shields together for review.
Left and right are from Hot Toys Civil War
One is clean, the other is battle-damaged.
You see there are Black Panther's claw marks.
Let's take a look at the diameter.
Same size compared to the broken shield.
In term of weight, the broken shield (which is only 60% of the whole shield) is heavier than the complete Hot Toys shield.
So safe to say that the diecast material used in the broken shield is better than the one from Hot Toys.
Now let's take a closer look at the paint job and its details. Better to compare the broken shield to the battle-damaged one.
The paint is purposely made like the shield was dirty and scratched.
The details are amazing!
It's not as bright as the whole shield there.
When we compare it to the HT battle-damaged shield,
I still say the broken one is so much better at the paint job and details than HT's.
Now check out the cut side
It's not sharp. Safe for us to touch.
Here's the back view.
They look the same, not much difference.
The material for the strap is leather.
Hot Toys ones are also made out of leather.
In Hot Toys version, there are two buckles, so we can take them off top and bottom. One for upper arm, the other to be held in his hand.
The broken shield has one buckle, as shown.
It's on the one for the hand.
That's the buckle for the hand. We only need to slide the upper arm in for the other strap.
See the difference with HT ones?
The straps are always fragile, so be careful. This buckle here is especially easy to break.
Once it breaks, then it's broken.
I suggest not to open/close it too often.
I did that mistake once, and now one of the buckles is broken.
Thank goodness it can be glued, and not too obvious from the front.
The strap and the buckles are one problem with the shield. So please be extra careful when you play with them.
The paint on the back of the shields is pretty similar among the three. Silver color with lines.
So the only major difference is the buckle and the look from the front.
Let's add this broken shield on our Captain.
Now I realize it's easier with two buckles.
With two buckles, we can easily strap the shield on the arm. Because we only have one buckle here, we have to take off the hand to slide in the shield, as shown.
I cannot stress enough how fragile these parts are. See here? I accidentally press something wrong and now one of those hooks is about to break :(
Phew, after quite an effort, I successfully put the shield on the arm.
What do you think of Captain now? Movie accurate enough?
This is what I call a perfect pose!
The broken shield is amazing.
I'm gonna enjoy this while waiting for HT to release Endgame figure.
Some of you asked me how to pose Captain with his arm raise high above his head like this?
This is how. Carefully rotate his arm.
Then slowly lift the arm.
You do it slow. I'm sure you will nail the pose.
Let turn this Captain around.
I use Civil War version here.
My Captain with his Mjolnir! Awesome!
If you're Team Captain like RobToys, you must have this broken shield :)
It will make your Captain collection more awesome.
Beside the 1:6 scales, I also have the 1:12 NotA Studio version.
It has a broken shield and a spinning Mjolnir.
I pray someone will make a 1:6 spinning Mjolnir
That's it for today's review.
Thanks for watching!
Hope this review is useful for you. See you in my next video. Bye!
