Captain America Border Fine Arts Collectible Coming Soon
Enesco and Border Fine Arts are set to release their third limited edition figurine featuring Captain America.
Here are the details:
Captain America — the third limited edition Marvel figurine entirely handmade in the UK, from Border Fine Arts’ Langholm Studios made under Marvel licence.
Steve Rogers, aka Captain America, achieved optimum human physical perfection after being drafted onto the top secret WWII US military biological experiment — ‘Operation Rebirth’.
As the super-soldier serum he was injected with, gave him superhuman strength and endurance, his only weapon was his indestructible Vibranium shield, a disk that was two-and-a-half feet in diameter.
The European division of Marvel has been steadfast in their support and critical acclaim of the limited editions in our Marvel collection. Producing such high-quality, intricate pieces has been a lengthy and painstaking process right from the outset, with the concepts for the figurine requiring approval by Marvel before beginning the sculpting which took Peter Mook over 200 hours to complete, working alongside Ray Ayres and his design team. Before the finished sculpt was submitted to Marvel for final production approval, the same procedure was followed to ensure the accuracy of the painting detail.
Produced in a limited edition of only 500 pieces worldwide, each piece comes with its own individually numbered certificate of authenticity and is entirely handmade by the highly-skilled craftspeople in our Langholm studios — every figurine is hand cast in a complex system of custom-made moulds before being demoulded and prepared for the painting process, which can take one of our accomplished painters around five hours to complete for each piece.
From his first appearance in Marvel Comics’ Captain America Comics #1 (1941), the star-spangled champion has become another iconic character of super hero status and is therefore a fitting addition to this prestigious collection.
