Re: Official Captain America "Elite" Pics
Alright, it's on. Apologies for the bathroom mirror pics but that's all I can do at the moment.
Me: 6' 1" tall, 32x32 pants, 24" head, 175 pounds.
First impressions:
1. Material is horrible. It's waaay too stretchy and thin. Has a pajama feel to it.
2. Helmet = Horrible, even for my large head.
3. Blue hood = It's ok.
4. Body = Arms and legs are way too long. I have a very thin neck and the suit won't close up on me. If you can get the Velcro to touch, you can't turn your head or it opens again. Crotch zipper is nice though. Has shoulder pads which I didn't expect so thats good.
5. Belt = Horrible, no way to adjust it. Thin. Pouches are fake.
6. Gloves = Red and blue. They are what they are. I think I expected something better though.
7. Gauntlets = Horrible, way too loose. Thin. No way to adjust them.
8. Boot Covers = Cheap. Thin. Bottoms of them flip up.
Not sure what can be done to spruce this thing up, except replacing all the armor and having the body altered. That's just my opinion though as I'm used to building my own costumes, I bought this because I don't know how to sew. I think the neck not closing is going to be a major issue for people since it won't even fit me without squishing my chin in and then I cannot turn my head.
