1/6 Hot Toys - MMS509 - Infinty War - Winter Soldier (Bucky Barnes)

[Zurdo95D]

Yeah, that would have been way better IMO. 'Coz the case has the Wakanda aesthetic. For me as well, not into displaying dying scenes etc. but if I was, I'd want more than one character turning to ash. So u've only got one character like that, IMO it doesn't work on the shelf.

They could've done a static one piece Rocket, a nice dio stand, or a second sculpt. But with things apparently getting cheaper? less accessories etc. (unless it's Dr. Strange and I am still miffed about Hela) right now I'll be happy if they output a stellar production sculpt and arm.

IMO weird this close to shipping supposedly and no in-hand leaked pics I can find. Makes me nervous.

According to Facebook, Secret Base was forced to close early so the release of Bucky has been delayed. Im guessing release of pictures fall into the same delay.

Yeah, usually SOMEONE has managed to get one in hand $$$$$$. At least with the proto, far as I can tell, this sculpt is SO GOOD from every angle. If HT managed to output Hela/Shuri quality. Plus luv this outfit.

So far no notice from Sideshow e.g. they still are gonna charge me soon I guess.

Aw dang, delayed cause of the HK protests? Hmm, well I guess this just amps up the suspense of whether HT will deliver on the sculpt or not...I'm hoping they pull it off! C'mon HT...no Chadwick vibes...only Hela/Yondu/Shuri quality please!

This has to be the closest I've gotten to receiving an HT without seeing production pics first. Excited and terrified at the same time!

NEED PICS

NEED PICS

Yeah. Unbelievable no in hand pics I can find, yet anyway. Got another charge notice from Sideshow tho.

I'll just leave this PROTOTYPE con pic, coz mostly I think "plz don't *&^%$ this up, plz don't &^%$ this up...."
I've got a nice Predator base stand picked up 2 years ago off the 'bay waiting for this guy. Tho I might go with the IW poster pose on some rocks. Or something. Even tho that didn't happen in film. (And maybe I'll finally pick up BW).



Maybe costume details aren't what a lot of collectors focus on, but I do. Like seams and material. Fantastic work like Loki Ragnarok if HT pulls it off. HT better not screw up that stellar sculpt

EDIT: pics of box at Secret Base on Insta. Released, supposedly.

I have faith they?ll nail the sculpt. I don?t have him PO?d but I?m very likely to pick him up to complete my IW set as he?s the only one I won?t have from it.

I don't have him preordered either...pending the final production photos. Really hoping it looks exactly like the prototype!

Photos are up on Facebook!

Is it me or the does the final production sculpt look different than the prototype...?

It does. It looks to me like they overall made his head and features a little bigger?? I mean personally I don't think it's terrible, but definitely not as good as the proto. Usual story though

 

[CollectorGuy]

Yeah his face and head look much wider/bigger overall than the proto. Sculpt is a little softer as well. It's obvious this was a " rush out the door and be done with it " job by HT. While i do like it and will keep my order, i do wish they had made his face look younger, something seems older about the mp sculpt. Like Sebastian Stan 5 yrs from now and not that youthful appearance he had in IW. In some pics it does look more like him though, mostly the jingobell photos i like.







I do also like this one from siuping:

I love that photo from Siuping, that captures Seb/Bucky so well.

So far tho I'm relieved. Paint looks good; maybe minor production changes. Think the hair might have a bit more squared off curve than the proto, maybe. If this is what's in the box will be a happy customer.

Not like the meltdown I had over the CW paint tho the fig grew on me. And many thanks to FB80 for getting pics up!
