Right on the heels of Donna's Valentine's Day gift of Beast Kingdom's Iron Man statue, she goes and gives me another (a day tardy, but that it arrived at all is astounding, considering our screwy, delivery stream). This one is the official companion piece: a Captain America, Marvel 60th/D-Stage, "Staging Your Dreams" Previews Exclusive.
The base is Cap's shield, cracked with fiery bolts, centered by the Marvel label, and behind the charging Cap, staggering, comic-panel captures. It's patriotic and uplifting in the perfect, flag-waving way!
Like Iron Man, Cap measures about 9" x 6", and like his avenging pal, Steve Rogers' pose is Aurora-esque. (Heck, this piece does, indeed, complement Aurora's 1960s, Steve Rogers salute.) There's a trace of that Hallmark vibe permeating it, too, which equally suits my collecting sensibilities.
This one is beyond grandiose, and Donna was wise to add it to my (our) museum. Thank you, dear Donna, from the bottom of my red-white-and-blue heart for another sensational, superheroic submission.💘
