Really lame that it's Artisan only. People have been BEGGING for a 2.0 for YEARS and their original figures are literally falling apart. So HT decides to make a limited exclusive instead.
It doesn't make sense, Winter Soldier is one of the most beloved villains in the MCU and Hot Toys could make more money by doing a sculpted version too but NO.
I have the original Winter Soldier which is still in excellent condition, shame this version doesn't come with his Captain America suit, can't blame Hot Toys for that, that's on Feige!
It’s a double bend on the articulated arm. You can see in the photo where the arm’s raised to his face, that there’s a gap between the elbow and the upper arm when it’s at full bend that’s separate from the fully visible lower joint.
I love how Hot Toys is slowly remaking characters from the best of the MCU movies. I can not wait for the artisan CAWS Black Widow, hopefully I can get the chance to preorder it.
Other than caps shield, whats the difference between the collector and special edition? If the only difference is the shield then why would there be a higher quantity for the version with the bonus accessory. Wouldn't the other way round make it more rare/desirable
Bucky/Winter soldier is my favorite MCU character, so to say that this is one of my most anticipated releases is an understatement. Even my wife was happy when they announced this figure because she knows how much i love this character(we have a joint HT collection). So when this dropped this morning i was excited... Until i saw the "artisan" tag AND the Hot Toys "exclusive". I was disappointed and sad. I was waiting years for this to just for them to tell me i will not be able to get this. Before someone asks i live in europe and the exclusives are almost impossible to get unless you pay a huge sum of money and frankly more than i am willing to pay so... No winter soldier for me.
The likeness isn't great, but I'm confident it will improve before it goes into production. And it wasn't just you- that little Scorpion gun on his back fell off all of the time. I hope it's magnetic this time around..
Personally think the original looks more like him, something off about this one imo which breaks my heart because i would of loved to get this if it was an improvement
I'm just not a fan of rooted hair. So, go figure that both Anakin and Bucky, two of my favorite characters, are the artisan figures that don't get a sculpted version lol
kinda surprised you are impressed by this tbh. This is...uh...pretty bad. Likeness is off, head is too big, that lord farquad hair isnt doin him any favors, the hairline is super long, the body is too small, the legs look pretty bad, the arm is too small, the ball socket joint on the arm into the chest isnt doin it either. The swappable arms and the real leather parts are great...the actual artistic quality of this is really not great. Sure, the fidelity in the face is great, but it aint bucky.

Yeah this is going to be a bloodbath to get

I think it looks cool! I don't own the 1st one, but the head sculpt on this one is phenomenal!
I think we need that extra HS with the makeup!!
Would have been all over this but I’d prefer a reg release price range wise.
Where's the eye makeup? It's throwing the figure off more than the unpainted hands.

It’s almost like they can’t make money from newer films because they suck.

Just ordered the special edition!!

I been waiting for this! Just need Black Widow to drop now.
Are you still selling the adapters for the black suit Spider-Man ?

They do have a photo of all the arms. Lmao wtf
EDIT: it is it's own post. Have to leave the gallery to see it.
Its taken hot toys this long to work out. pleather it's shit ,i stepped away from hot toys collecting because of the pleather issue 😢
Because of this i made my first order at pop collectibles🤘 this is going to be a mess at sideshow😂
thats what I thought with moon knight and I was able to get him through sideshow
now hoping they make an artisan of John Wick
It's the eyes that are off, likeness is not there. But the rest looks fantastico
I'm just not a fan of rooted hair. So, go figure that both Anakin and Bucky, two of my favorite characters, are the artisan figures that don't get a sculpted version lol
Same here. I prefer sculpted hair.
Is this the final version?
Nah, it's an early prototype. Hot Toys will certainly have enough time to make any tweaks and improvements that might need to be done.
Made my deposit with Pop Collectibles 🔥
thats crazy! its $100 more just to get it from the website. I'll stick to sideshow since I live in California
I don’t even try to get these exclusive anymore. waste of time.
This dude looks awesome
I hope I'm one of the chosen few to get it
Don't hate it. But it's a pass. Not doing this headache of limited edition. Thank you for the video.
thanks it helps me with a better chance in securing it
@ignitedsoul3937 your welcome good luck
the hair looks too neat, otherwise he looks great

Everything good but the head sculpt
