The problem is that Diamond produces quality figures at an affordable price and they usually are super poseable. So now with that off my chest lets dive into our review. Since Avengers: Endgame is just about a week away I thought reviewing an Avengers figure was a good idea. This time around we are evaluating the Captain America figure from Avengers: Infinity War.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The Marvel Select Captain America looks incredible. The head sculpt is a decent likeness of Chris Evans, although I can\u2019t get used to Cap with a beard. Captain America\u2019s uniform is, not surprisingly, the muted color on seen in the final battle in Wakanda. This color scheme, in my opinion, is the best uniform we have seen Cap wearing. The uniform he wore during the prison break scene, leather jacket, helmet and green BDUs is a close second.<\/p>\n<p>The Marvel Select Captain America stands approximately 7 inches tall and comes with the following accessories:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 3 Additional sets of hands (fist, grasping and slightly tensed.<br \/>\n\u2022 2 Gauntlets<br \/>\n\u2022 2 Shields which have a movable section to increase the length, slightly<br \/>\n\u2022 1 Stand<\/p>\n<p>The hands are a bit difficult to take off, which is a good thing since you wouldn\u2019t want them just falling off the figure. Also regarding the hands, in order to remove the gauntlets you must remove the hands.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-20555 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl
