I think it's a really good statue. But the reasons so far, it's not Steve, it's not classic, the movie version, all are true.
But as a comic book reader, while I enjoyed Bucky's stint as Cap and thought it was cut short way too soon (and if you look at the timing, it was done for a very obvious reason), it was just that: a stint. A brief moment in the history of Cap that didn't last long in the grand scheme of things. Much like "Great Ultron," who lasted an even shorter amount of time.
While there's a few PFs I would probably buy based on a particular story line or moment, overall for myself I want the characters in their most recognized looks since I'll be displaying them for years. They need to be:
- Classic costumes like Steve Rogers Cap, Blue & Red Spidey, yellow Wolverine, Green Hulk.
- Popular costumes like Black/Symbiot Spidey, Grey Hulk, Brown Wolverine, Extremis Iron Man. Not classic, but everyone knows them, and a lot prefer them.
- Or at the very least, consistent costumes like Ms. Marvel and Psylocke (in the comics they switch to other costumes, but eventually come back to the look we all know)
Plus like stated, a PF of Bucky as Winter Soldier would be better anyway. The design has potential to make a great PF, at least more detailed than the typical Marvel PF, and it's truer to the character as how he was brought back.
