No way man, the best part of this piece is that it's finally a comic version of the character. I'm so tired of the movie versions taking over, it's about time.

agree, I also prefer the comic version. this looks great but no rush getting this IMO

This is my pick for most underrated piece of STGCC 2017. This piece doesn't look like much in pictures, but in person it made me stop and say "Wow!".

This is definitely on my radar, very cool looking piece. But no rush, IMO these will be going for retail (maybe below) on the BST groups within a year after shipping.

That's what I'm thinking too. I'm betting that's how it's going to be for this piece.

Which is a good thing because this is not a priority for me, so I'll wait to get it later. And if I miss out ...then I miss out. No worries.

Damn this looks great, I really want this piece but I agree with you two above. I can see this ending up like Hawkeye on BBTS where it was selling for $600.

Yup. You can grab Hawkeye under $600 on BST groups. This may not go that low but lots of people passing on this on Facebook.

This will end up getting bundled with the next “must have super hyped convention exclusive” XM piece just like She Hulk, Mysterio, Dr Strange, sandman get forced bundled with Venom, Cable etc. that’s actually a good thing for folks interested in this LOL!!

Interesting but not a must have

Winter Soldier is on MTO, i doubt there will be many in the shops after release.

Maybe it is just his pose, but he seems small to me. Would have preferred to have a little beefier version.

Pictures don't do him justice. He looks much bigger in person. I totally fell in love with this statue at STGCC, he was incredible in person.

"There are things from the Winter Soldier days that I'm just remembering. Weapons left in the field...dangers I can still prevent. I think maybe that's the path...a way to the redemption I've been looking for."

XM Studios is excited to present our next Marvel Premium Collectibles series statue, Winter Soldier! The tragic hero who lost his memories, 'Bucky' Barnes also known as the Winter Soldier is immortalized in amazingly detailed 1:4 scale cold-cast porcelain. Each painstakingly handcrafted statue is individually hand-painted with the highest possible quality finish. A perfect companion piece to Captain America statue as the Winter Soldier has a long and deep relationship story with Cap. Trained by Captain America himself, the Winter Soldier posseses incredible fighting prowess and further empowered with a bionic arm, this is one man you do not want to cross! A well versed assasin and combatant, the XM rendition of Winter Soldier features multiple swap out arm options so you decide how he takes out his enemies! If you have a Captain America statue, you must have Winter Soldier displayed together!

As a young boy, James Buchanan Barnes lost his father (a soldier during WWII), and was adopted by Camp Lehigh as their mascot, and given the nickname "Bucky". It was here that he learned the identity of Captain America. He underwent rigorous training and was assigned to be Cap's sidekick, accompanying him on many adventures, and the two often worked with the original Invaders.

However, on a final mission against Baron Zemo, Bucky and Cap were both dropped in the North Atlantic, where Cap would later be found and thawed out by the Avengers. American forces never found Bucky's body, and he was presumed dead. Unbeknownst to the Americans, he was found and revived by Russian General Vasily Karpov and outfitted with a replacement bionic arm which had been made after a Soviet spy had recovered schematics for cybernetic appendage. The arm was to be replaced by a newer and more advanced one every time there was an improvement in their technology. While he had no memory of his past, Barnes still had considerable physical skill. He was indoctrinated to hate the West and was provided with mental implants during sensory deprivation, molding him into the perfect assassin.

IMO, not having a long haired portrait for this piece is a major miss by XM. The character was introduced with long hair.

Yea if i can get really comic nerdy here for a second, the red star and shorter hair is an incorrect combination. As introduced originally when he was still under Soviet control, he had long hair and the red star on his left arm. After Steve gave him back his memories with the cosmic cube, he went to a shorter hair style and a blue circle with a red border and a white star.

Yeah, my favorite MCU character and I'm passing. I would have wanted the option for this look:

Agreed. A blown opportunity by XM to say the least.
