PART OF THE MARVEL MIGHTY MUGGS COLLECTIONS

Captain America is a fictional character that appears in comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character first appeared in Captain America Comics #1 (March 1941), from Marvel Comics' 1940s predecessor, Timely Comics, and was created by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby. Over the years, an estimated 210 million copies of "Captain America" comic books have been sold in a total of 75 countries.

"Captain America applies to whomever is chosen by the U.S. government."

Within the comics, the title "Captain America" applies to whomever is chosen by the U.S. government (which views itself as "owning" the persona) to wear the costume and bear the shield. For nearly all of the character's publication history, however, Captain America was the alter ego of Steve Rogers, a sickly young man who was enhanced to the peak of human perfection by an experimental serum in order to aid the United States war effort. Captain America wears a costume that utilizes an American flag motif, and is armed with an indestructible shield that can be thrown as a weapon.

An intentionally patriotic creation who was often depicted fighting the Axis powers of World War II, Captain America was Timely's most popular character during World War II. After the war ended, the character's popularity waned and he disappeared by the 1950s aside from an ill-fated revival in 1953. Captain America was reintroduced during the Silver Age of comics when he was revived from suspended animation by the superhero team the Avengers in The Avengers #4 (March 1964). Since then, Captain America has often led the team, as well as starring in his own series.

Steve Rogers was killed in Captain America vol. 5, #25 (March 2007), although the Captain America series continues publication[4] with Rogers' former sidekick, Bucky, having taken up the mantle.

This Captain America Mighty Mugg stands at 6 inches tall and comes with a shield prop. I like this one because to me, it represents America very well with it's colors, stars and stripes. Yes, I know that he is a comic book hero, but when I first saw him, I just liked him.  Again, maybe I'm biased because I am new to this country, but I really love America and love everything that represents it.  :-) You can find this online, but last I saw, it was selling for around $20.00.
