The Bucky "evolution" just doesn't quite feel complete without it...
If we're fortunate enough to get a short haired sculpt, I'd love to do a 'bash of Howling Commando Bucky.
I would love a figure of that look, really wish Hot Toys had made one.
If Hot Toys makes a figure of that, I'd gladly throw more money their way. I'm really liking the red detailing, I wasn't expecting that.
I was really curious about the star design on IW Bucky's box, since that iteration of the character lacks one...So I was wondering if Hot Toys knew something that we didn't, seeing that the new concept art has a white, American star, back on his shoulder.
- feel myself sliding down the slippery slope of "well, if u don't pick up the Mandalorian now it will cost a lot more later, and look at the cool stand that comes with! Do it, do it, you deserve it...."
Oh that's interesting. I don't suppose you have any links?
That's a good point, I don't have anything else from the IW line, so I didn't realize that Cap had his shield on his box.
Either way, I've been thinking that Bucky almost has to get his star back, since like you said, it's his symbol.
As beautiful as the Vibranium arm is, it just feels like it's missing something...
Hehe, it will be quite a switch if Marvel picks the more "groomed" look for Bucky in the future...But Mr. Stan could probably use a break from the wigs.
Just Google infinity War winter soldier concept art and click images. They are from the Marvel book. Probably on YT too from the book. Once those books are out no way to keep a lid on the pics.
Dunno about the hair - at least a lot of the comics I see have longer hair. That What If animated series with the Zombie Cap has IMO a more classic feral Bucky in the trailer. But I totally get the show trying to get Bucky to regroup. Like apparently? he's back in the States for one thing (I guess) but may or may not have to stay in the shadows.
I give the designers credit for dealing with the iconic silver arm in a real badass way IMO. Be fun to see what it can do, finally.
I'll have to do that, thanks. I don't really need much of an excuse to look up pictures of my favorite Marvel character.
Hehe, from what I've seen, I'm really happy with how he turned out for the "What If" series. I was expecting him to be in his iconic, Winter Soldier apparel, but I'm not complaining at all.
Bucky sorely needs some development/coming to terms with things, so I could see him cutting his hair after leaving Wakanda, perhaps in a way to channel his "old self". I think I always thought his longer hair was less a fashion statement, and more a result of no one cutting it while he was on ice, and then him keeping it long post CA:WS, as a way to hide his face. Personally, I prefer it long, (and like you said, more in keeping with the comics) but a haircut isn't going to make me like him any less.
I'm really curious to the setup for the series, because Sam had been on the run too...Unless playing a part in saving the universe got them pardoned.
I wonder if his new arm has any upgrades/abilities that we're not aware of yet. I think he's had arms with different functions in the comics, and it would be interesting to see on screen. Plus, if Hot Toys would make a figure with multiple arm attachments, I'd be super excited.
