1/6 Hot Toys-MMS 241-Captain America:TWS-Winter Soldier 1/6th Scale Collectible Figure

Any tips?

Yeah, replace that 'thing' with the HT head ^^ or ... shave him ... anything.

I'm sorry but there are only very few rooted WS heads that actually look good and the one you have reminds me of the ACPlay head I got with the CW civvies outfit ... it was horrendous.

That was already shaved and styled a bit!! Alright, I will thin it out a bit more.

The rooted hair they put with knock-offs are usually very thick.
I had to fix the AC Play Black Widow stealth since there was just too much hair..

No no, I don't mean 'cut' it ... I mean, 'shave' him bald. ^^ That would be better.

Really, I get that people want rooted hair for him but if you do, you gotta let a pro do it. I've only ever seen 2 or 3 rooted heads that looked good the others were just awful. Here, that was my ACPlay Bucky head ... absolutely hideous. Poor Buck.

Can you post a really good Bucky with rooted hair? Can try to emulate it.

I don't think you can emulate it, at least not with what you have there. As I said, I've seen 2 or 3 great ones but I only saved this one



You wanna give him rooted hair, it's gotta look like this.

Maybe even like this:

Right?! If I had a few hundred bucks lying around, I'd totally commission one. ^^

hey guys,

I got a used winter soldier at a local toy fair, but it doesn't have this gun.

Chances are probably very slim, but does anybody have this gun? I'm willing to buy it...

Thank you...

Looks like a Sig p226 - you might be able to just find one parted out from any number of military figs. It'd be the cheaper route too than buying the official one. Try Monkey Depot, Toy Anxiety, or Black Ops Toys (if you have to go here, sign up for their email and wait for coupon codes).

Just looked it up out of curiosity and yeah, the P226 looks like it's used in a huge number of films (BP, Ghost Protocol, etc.)

There's P226s on E-bay right now.

Congrats to princeraph on a nice score.

 

[SilverStar17]

Looks like a SS P226 to me as well. Common firearm seen in films.

Considered getting an actual one at one point.

 

[princeraph]

Thanks for the suggestions guys, much appreciated!

Hey guys, a buddy of mines picked up this WS from a local collector who didn’t take care of his figures. A couple of the straps around his chest and arm are broken. He tried a dab of superglue to get it to stick and it didn’t work. Is there anything else we can try?

Those parts detached even with great care, the glue was just weak.

The arm strap on mine came off repeatedly as well (so far so good on the chest straps though). I'd recommend using fabric glue to reattach it. In general, super glue isn't a great idea when it comes to fabrics since it dries hard; and with the pleather on the jacket, there's the risk of it peeling off the top layer even more easily.

This. I used fabric glue on mine too.

Appreciate the help fellas. He used a multipurpose Loctite super glue. Didn’t even think to look for a fabric glue. So should this one work.

Just in case since I had some issues with other Loctite stuff - Target has Singer fabric glue. Michael's has Fabri-Tac

I've had good results with both, including re-gluing WS straps after I peeled apart to do a body switch. I use super glues for plastics like IM.
