I'll give both a try. The bandana look calls to mind his angry speech to all the grunts when the tubby guy gets killed in the failed ambush and also the bulk of the village scene. The helmeted look makes me think of the 'Mother____ers' bit.

yeah the way his helmet is slightly tilted to the side and his expression is classic Barnes. Thats the look Ill probably go with.
I've got Taylor fully geared up so it might make sense to fully gear up Barnes too. You can go for a casual look with Taylor, which I did for a while and took loads of pics (I posted them in the Taylor thread some time ago) but with Barnes you'd really need that custom hairpiece.

Yeah its the best way to save money but next to impossible to do.
Just checked AE site and it says Barnes in a new arrival
. Not too much longer.:chew
Not according to Toy Anxiety. These have pegs in them.
Ordered from Vikingplayground. He shipped out today and I should have him soon. Maybe even tomorrow as they are only 30 min away from me.

Me too from AE next week... 
I'll be picking this figure up at Corner Store Comics. Never been to the storefront so I thought I'd take that route instead of having it shipped.
I'll be adding the vest to this figure as well as a few mods.
Hopefully, Hot Toys releases an M69 vest with Elias. He was wearing this vest (like Barnes) as well. You can see Elias discard the vest while he was helping Taylor, Crawford, and Rhah set up an ambush.
Wishful thinking
It'd be nice though!!!!!!I'll post pics when Barnes is in hand

My Barnes is on the way from Razor's Edge. The figure looks great, but I hate those elbow joints sticking out. Can you cover that with his sleeves?
You can i'm sure just like Chris in this picture, but they still may show if the arm is in an extreme pose.
