Remember the Captain America fan vote that Toys R Us ran in conjunction with Diamond Select Toys? Fans picked their four favorite Caps for this TRU exclusive box set. In case you were curious, the two that didn’t get enough votes were The Captain, from the ’80s, and the Cap from Marvel’s recent Civil War event.

Cap Reborn isn’t terribly exciting, but I love the rest of them. I especially like the different shades of blue – the Suspended Animation Cap looks like his blue is faded with age, the WW2 Cap is slightly desaturated, and the Armored Cap is nice and shiny. This set could have easily looked like 4 very similar figures from across the toy aisle, but by changing up the shades of blue, it helps set them apart.
