First I just wanted to say great review. Second, I just got mine 2 days ago and I feel a little guilty hearing people have been waiting 3 years for the fig. I only became aware of it about a week ago. Im a big Winter Soldier fan and I was preparing to buy the Mafex version as a definitive WS, but I knew I would want to have guns for him ready to go. So as I was looking for weapons packs, I came across this Nota Version and was immediately salivating. Went to Ebay to check pricing, and happened to find a auction with 10 mns left at $99, I put in $104 max bid with 5secs left and won it for $102. The seller was in Cali not Japan, and I had the fig a few days later. Saw it and had it in hand in about a week. But I came here to help you with the things you had quesstions about. The 10 words on side of box are the WS activation words that are read from the Red Book. As the words are said, Bucky transforms into WS. The words are in Russian in book so they gave them a Russian type font on box. The square on back of shield is not a magnet. Its actually an amazing piece of detail. Its a picture,😂 but you will need a magnifying glass to see it. Its a drawing of a dancing monkey on a unicycle holding an umbrella and a shield.🤣 If you want to see it, Ill give a reference. I had to research this, but Ill save you the work. Its from Captain America: The First Avenger. You can look up on YT dancing monkey drawing scene. The disk gun is complete. The little disk is removable btw, and its a magnetic explosive device in movie (toy is not magnetic). Its shoots the disk that then attaches to metal tanks or cars and explodes. Reference, if you want to see in action on YT, look up Captain America: Winter Soldier fight scene. Its the scene where they are all chasing WS through the street in traffic and fighting. And in case you didnt see, the little gold ammunition round can actually fit in the one empty chamber in the cylinder that rotates out. Hope this helps you enjoy the figure even more.
