And right after I posted, it was like *magic* at the door.....
My review of Iron Studios 1/4 Winter Soldier (or at least the one I got, anyway):
Everything Phoenix says IMO is true - assembly is a TINY bit fiddly - for a bit I was turning the head around and around because of the hair needing to be positioned right, and you do have to be cautious posting him - but re a production piece, my most-wanted piece, he's perfect. I mean perfect. No googly eyes, you can see the pattern of the jacket cloth, IMO he's actually kind of better in person because in 3D you can really "feel" the sense of movement of the piece.
Don't know if Bucky #2 will be "perfect" but right now, I'm in awe
. And like the best facial photos and sculpts IMO, it's kind of like he changes expression depending on the angle. The arm while not chrome has this soft shimmer to it. Like Falcon the base seems lighter but Bucky is heavy. Gun and hands seem to be plastic but nothing feels cheesy, at all. Rifle beautifully detailed. Right now I am so d@mn glad I have another Bucky on PO.
Course, things can always go wrong
- was so tense opening him at first I couldn't find the hand holding the magazine and was freaking out LOL
- but guess the "poly gods" figured this fan couldn't take the stress
and sent a perfect Bucky LOL.
PS. And it's the first and last time this guy will be in direct sunlight
, but sunlight is ruthless so there yah go. He's perfect (as you can get re a production piece IMO - there's always some little nit but I'd have to work at it it come up with something here).

. Refuse to think about it (denial is always an option
). But I actually gasped at my first in-hand look at BP and can't stop staring at Falcon's *perfection* (like the metallic sheen of his boots
. Even if this wasn't my favorite character IMO "humans" seem to be the toughest thing for companies to pull off. Swear I will do better pics at some point but his back is equally good, like Falcon all the cloth wrinkles, sculpted hands, gloves are little works of art, even the tiny bullet in the magazine.
