Captain America's Childhood Hero Turned Villain...
Released late last year from Marvel’s Captain America: The Winter Soldier was The Winter Soldier himself, a surprisingly great release from Hot Toys.
If a hero is supposed to keep his friends close and his enemies closer,
then Winter Soldier is as close as they’ll come as actor Sebastian Stan
portrays Bucky Barnes, Captain America’s childhood hero turned villain.
The sixth scale figure comes with two portraits, making collectors
choose between three different looks, pushing this price tag to a cool
$240.
The packaging shows a production still of Sebastian Stan as The Winter
Soldier, a large red Soviet star behind him and the crew of Hot Toys on
the back. The box is sturdy, keeping contents safe for the most part.
Inside is an insert sleeve with a photo of the Hot Toys Winter Soldier
and below that, multi-layers of trays containing the figure,
accessories, and display stand. There are no twist ties but there is
tape and plastic wrapped around the hands and feet. Sometimes I’m lucky
to pull them right off but sometimes they’re a real pain.
Two portraits for The Winter Soldier and three possible looks. For
starters, the unmasked head is how we see Bucky later in the film. The
second portrait is Winter Soldier with a mask. A separate goggles piece
plugs into the side of his face but before you do that you’ll remove his
hair piece to do so. Connecting via magnet, the hair sits on his head
tightly enough.
The paint on these portraits are pretty good, but there should be more
makeup around the eyes on the masked portrait. As it is now, it’s just a
little too clean. Still, it’s great to see some options in your
display. As cool as he is with the mask, I’ll most likely display him
without.
The body underneath has more than 30 points of articulation and you
shouldn’t have too much trouble posing him in various positions. The
left arm seems to have a little bit extra slack since it’s not bound
down by any clothing. The metal arm does sag a bit more though if you’re
not careful.
Winter Soldier comes with four pairs of interchangeable palms and one
extra open palm. One pair of fists, one pair of relaxed palms, one pair
for holding weapons, and another pair of open palms. There is one bonus
hand included that was taped to the inner box. I do wish there was a
left palm that could hold one of his daggers, but unfortunately that is
not the case.
In addition to the hands, he comes with a slew of weapons to use on his
opponents. There is one machine gun, one remote bomb launcher, one
submachine gun, three pistols, two daggers, two grenades, and one spike
with sheath.
A lot of the weapons can be placed all over Winter Soldier’s armor in
specially designed places. Some holders work really well but one holster
on his left leg won’t hold the pistol at all, popping right off.
They’ll stay on okay for the other areas but one tap and you might lose
'em. Definitely a figure for display and not so much handling.
The Winter Soldier is another great release from Hot Toys and a perfect
addition for any one who loves the film. It’s $240 but comes with a lot
of weapons to tie you over.
