The Marvel collectible model building kit features Captain America's red, white and blue shield, with a protruding star and a stand with nameplate
When Thor's evil uncle returned from exile during the 'Fear Itself'-crossover, the shield was broken and reforged using Uru-metal, the same stuff that Mjölnir was made of. Adult Marvel enthusiasts can put their passion on display with this recreation of one of the most iconic items in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. LEGO Marvel Captain America’s Shield set for adults is a detailed and authentic model that is rewarding to build and pleasing to admire long after the construction work has been completed. The upcoming Spider-Man No Way Home set will join the LEGO Captain America Shield as well as the rest of the Marvel summer 2023 sets on August 1. Four new buildable figures join the LEGO Marvel lineup Isle of Man, Isle of Wight, Northern Ireland and the Scottish Highlands) may take longer to reach you. This large LEGO set for Avengers: Infinity Saga fans includes a Captain America minifigure with its own shield and Thor’s hammer MjölnirThis robust building toy stands over 4 in. (12 cm) tall. Perfect for hands-on, imaginative play and ideal for display in any kid’s room when the day’s action is over. The star in the centre, by contrast, is smooth. The pentagonal shape is unusual, but clever use of hinge plates and 2x8 spike elements has created the desired angles. These pieces are not actually connected to the blue panel behind though, instead wrapping around the pentagonal boss in the centre. Without any direct attachment, there is a degree of movement, but the star is more than secure enough for display. The prototype for the famous round shield was given to Cap as a gift from then-prince T'Chaka of Wakanda, to replace his weird little heater-shield when the Red Skull destroyed it. The shield was made of the fictional element of Vibranium, which is lightweight, has near-limitless absorptive properties, is almost supernaturally durable, and does indeed make for a pretty great frisbee. Building eighteen pairs of alternating panels is inevitably less enjoyable, although their design is ingenious. Each panel is connected to clips around the edge of the frame and to studs towards the middle, so they feel secure. Additionally, the alternating use of plates and wedge plates on each segment leaves only tiny gaps when completed, taking advantage of the plates' geometry. The build itself is repetitive. But we are, after all, building a circular disc with a symmetrical pattern. There is no way to make this process more varied than it is. Think of the shield as a pie with 36 slices. Each slice must be an exact duplicate of the one next to it to create the signature color scheme, and each slice must be equidistant from each of the others to form a perfect circle.
When Cap was literally put on ice, his shield was frozen with him; when the Avengers thawed him out, he was instantly able to use it to fight them (Superheroing 101: whenever you meet a new friend, be sure to punch them in the face as hard as possible first). Over the years, thanks to Tony Stark being Tony Stark, the shield was tinkered with several times to have it include a targeting-system, communications, a flight-control system and other gadgetry which Cap would eventually remove, opting for good old gumption instead, Steve Rogers being Steve Rogers. An exclusive Thor minifigure accompanies 76209 Thor's Hammer, but this version of Captain America is not unique, unfortunately. Inspired by Avengers: Age of Ultron, the minifigure has appeared twice before and looks good, but this was an ideal opportunity to produce either his classic World War II attire or the white-accented stealth suit from Captain America: The Winter Soldier.The range of LEGO sets created with adults in mind is designed to deliver a satisfying build-and-display experience that will captivate any model-making enthusiast. This LEGO Marvel collectible model kit for adults to build makes a fantastic Marvel-themed gift idea for Avengers: Infinity Saga fans, and an awesome addition to any adult LEGO collection.
