This one is one of my favorite Captain America figures. This is the Face-Off Captain America that Toy Biz put out back in 2006.
Rish and I were big-time toy hunters in those days, and we got all the different variants of the Face-Off figures. They came in two-packs with a hero and his arch nemesis. Captain America came with Red Skull, who I wasn't particularly interested in. I only wanted to assemble the Avengers, so I sold the Red Skull off, and kept this Captain America.
For years, I swore that it was the best Captain America they ever made, but a few years back I finally had to admit that their most recent release of a classic Captain America outshined the Face-Off version, so I retired this Cap to the holiday decoration roster. But here he is now, it's his one time to shine each year.
Isn't it nice that the Star-spangled Man with a Plan gets to pose next to a star-spangled bow? I bet the bow has a plan too.
