Here’s the official description:

This is a new, authentic 1940s Captain America variant figure in the classic 1970s “Mego” action figure style. Still with us so far? Oh, and it’s a ThinkGeek exclusive, because we knew you guys would understand. Feel free to stare at the set like Steve Rogers has three heads here… because he does!

Three heads, three outfits, three shields! All interchangeable, of course (not meant to be used at the same time – the side effects of the super soldier serum were not that severe).   With this set you get a classic 1970s “Mego”-style figure dressed in the even-more-classic 1940s Captain America suit and shield. And you get full costume changes (including the heads) to turn him into Police Officer Steve Rogers or Super Soldier Steve Rogers. Feel just like a kid in the 70s again (or for the first time, youngins’)!
