Captain America: The International Patriots

This is a Kmart exclusive. In this pack we get a new version of Captain Britain, a Captain America repaint and a new character in Red Guardian.  

  

I'll start with Red Guardian. All I know about him is that he fights for Russia. So, after a quick Google, I found out that the figure is based on recent appearances in the comics (Darkstar and the Winter Guard). He carries a shield that has a double eagle design which is said to resemble the Russian Coat of Arms. Its supposed to be made of Vibranium. The figure's accessory of course is made of plastic and mine is bent and warped due to how it was packaged, The rubber band holding it in place was also very tight. Like Captain America's shield, theres a clip and a peg for Red Guardian to carry it on his wrists or on his back.

The figure looks a bit like Ultraman. With the fin on the top of his head and the circles at the sides. Even the colours are quite similar. On a more serious note, the head sculpt is unique. Can't think of too many Marvel characters that look like that. The belt is a bit different, besides the various pouches, there's also a water canteen attached on the back. Poor paint application aside, the figure looks pretty good. He's a bit short but proportionate.

Articulation. He's got a ball joint neck, ball and hinge shoulders, swivel and hinge elbows, torso pivot, ball and hinge hips, thigh swivel, double jointed knees and swivel and hinge ankles.

This Captain America is the same figure as the Heavy Artillery Cap. One difference is the paint. The scales on his costume on the upper torso has some specks of white on it rather than a uniform blue colour throughout. 

Articulation. He's got a ball joint neck, ball and hinge shoulders, swivel and hinge elbows, torso pivot, ball and hinge hips, thigh swivel, double jointed knees and swivel and hinge ankles.

I still prefer the Midnight Air Raid Cap. This figure will be donating his shield accessory to him.

I wasn't aware that Captain Britain wore this costume. So after Googling again, found out that this figure is based on his appearance in the Captain Britain and MI13 comic. I'm not used to this version, his costume to me resembles that of a Winter Olympics participant. The boots the exception. The figure looks too chunky and stumpy for my liking. He suffers from poor paint application and mines bleeding from his left hand. 

He comes with  the sword Excalibur. It has nice detail on the hilt. The plastic used for it is pretty hard, its not going to warp easily. This sword is the same as the one that comes with the standard card Captain Britain. This sword has a grey hilt while that one is gold. 

While I don't like his look, he's got great articulation. He's got a ball joint neck, ball and hinge shoulders, swivel and hinge elbows, wrist swivel, torso pivot, ball and hinge hips, thigh swivel, double jointed knees and ankle pivot and hinge.

Was there a zombie Captain Britain ? This figure could be used to make that version.

My favourite Captain Britain is the Marvel Universe version.

Captain Britain is the tallest of the three while Red Guradian (not taking the fin into account) is the shortest.   

I wasn't going to get this three-pack at first but I'm glad I did. Red Guardian will join the collection. I prefer this Captain America over the Heavy Artillery one, plus I get a shield for my Midnight Air Raid Cap.  Captain Britain will need some getting use to. And I prefer the grey hilt Excalibur over the gold hilt one.
