Winter Soldier


Ever since his introduction in the pages of the Captain America comic book series one-time Cap partner Bucky Barnes, who was brainwashed as a Russian assassin code-named the Winter Soldier, has remained a big hit with fans.

After replacing Cap, garnering his own mini-series and successfully making his transition to movies and TV the Winter Soldier gains more and more popularity.

Diamond Select produced the figure which is packaged in a form-fitting Styrofoam cocoon that fits in a heavy paper stock flip lid box with color photos of the figure on all sides.

Ever since the Disney + Falcon and Winter Soldier series ran the winter soldier has captivated the viewing audiences minds and imagination.

Since he was first introduced in Marvel Comics and seen in the subsequent Captain America and Avengers films fans have been clamoring for all things Winter Soldier.

Several years ago Diamond Select released a Winter Soldier mini-bust featuring the character in a dynamic pose holding his trademark sniper rile.

The statue duplicates his look perfectly with his long black hair, eye mask, solid black outfit and black bulletproof vest and is cybernetic left arm with its U.S.S.R. red star logo.

The Winter Soldier is slightly slouched as he cradles his rifle pulled back to his left side.

The figure ends at the waist on a rocky pedestal with a large gold star across its front.

Details are amazing, especially the rifle, its shoulder strap and Bucky’s metallic arm.  His hair is tousled and his muscles can be seen through his cloth’s fabric.

Coloration in topnotch as is the sculpt work.  There are no rough edges, paint slopover or flashing.

Currently the figure, in box, runs just under $200.  My figure is 9 out of 1,500.

1 John 4:7 - Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
