Very nice, that looks great!
thank you, I'm glad you like the pics. It doesn't seem like the camera catches the full chrome effect as if you were in person. If you guys have a winter soldier you can do this re-paint. Seriously if I can do it anyone can do it I promise you. Just go slow, be patient and tape things off very carefully and allow atleast 24 hrs for the paint to fully cure prior to chrome paint and before handling to re-assemble.
I was shocked to see for how much WS is going for to be honest and I definitely wouldn't have him now if I hadn't found him for 250 by luck.
Well, I really think the price is due to all the accessories he comes with. I mean, CW Bucky only comes with 1 head sculpt and the rifle plus a few hands. :/ That's really not much. When I thought of getting one I soon came to the realisation that it's either WS or none and I guess I'm not the only one. Needless to say that I got the CW one on preorder too now coz it's Bucky and the other is the WS.

Yea, I mean that is how he was for the movie, but I wonder if they could have made a flash back version, I think he was pretty equipped in those scenes like he was during WS. Maybe they still can make a flash back version. That would be cool.

In the flashbacks, he was wearing the same suit as he did in TWS. I doubt they'd make another WS figure with a nearly identical suit. He's not Iron Man

Just checked Ebay, had no idea the price rose so much. Most listings I saw were $600 or over.

Damn that's pretty crazy how pricey this is now. Glad I picked it up when it came out.

Wow! I'm assuming that's USD too? 
So glad I got mine for $285 NZD (approx. $200 USD) last year then!

I remember this figure was hanging around stores forever

Yep, this guy was hanging around for a long time. I think there was suddenly a demand for it after CW due to his prominent role, or at least after the CW Bucky figure was revealed. CW I believe made him more popular than he was in TWS and quite frankly, there's just a lot more accessories with TWS figure than the CW figure. For those who only want one Bucky/TWS figure in their collection, many I think are siding with TWS figure for the aforementioned reason. There's also some that could simply prefer his TWS outfit over his CW outfit.
As I mentioned earlier in the thread, the current Ant-Man figure experienced something similar. Recently, the demand for it skyrocketed, along with the price. I think many people who only want only one representation of Ant-Man were waiting to see what the CW version was going to be like since the two figures were relatively close together, and a lot of people seemingly decided that the first Ant-Man figure was the way to go.

Agreed. That's certainly what happened to me: I only really got interested in him after I saw Civil War.
Its kind of puzzling to me why TWS figure came with 9,000 accessories, and CW version comes with.... five? Or it seems that way. I mean, come on. Its not like he was walking around unarmed in CW. I can understand the one rifle, but he def needs a knife or two, and does the CW version come with even one sidearm...? *goes to look* No, he doesn't! WTH.
Oh well. We will probably get more figures with successive movies... and if he gets a new arm, which he should, we're all probably going to need that version too. Unless the facial sculpt is off, as poor Loki v.2.0 found out.
It's probably just me but aside from accessories and outfit it also depends on which character you want in your collection, in a way. I mean, I loved TWS movie and when I think of the Winter Soldier, I remember that scene where he drops from that bridge like a ton of bricks and crashed that car's roof, mask on and all deadly before doing the murder strut. That was like ... wow. You don't get that with CW Bucky coz he feels completely different. So to me it's kinda like, do I want Bucky or that jaw dropping, deadly WS? ^^
I honestly thought that I'd be fine with just the WS and could easily get the CW head sculpt to get the Bucky look but truth be told, that one would never be just Bucky to me and I'd hate not to be able to use the mask or smoky eyes head. ^^" Dunno if that makes sense.

That WAS a great moment, and then he rang Cap's shield like a bell. What a badass
However IMO Bucky had plenty of badass moments in CW, so I don't think this second figure reduces him in any way. I do regret not having the mask tho. That mask was.... yeah. And CW does not have the smoky eyemakeup. Drat. Really liked that look.
He's easily awesome enough, right?
And yeah, I agree, Bucky had loads of awesome and badass scenes in CW and if Hot Toys ever decided to do a civil clothes Bucky on a motorbike, I'd preorder that in a heartbeat. But while scenes like that were badass, they're different from TWS. I mean, he tries not to kill anyone and he even moves differently. He doesn't land like a stone anymore but actually tries not to minimize damage to his bones and such when jumping from heights.That WAS a great moment, and then he rang Cap's shield like a bell. What a badass
Oh most definitely! That's why I'm getting both. ^^'' ahaha Can't wait till my WS can finally sport his mask.
I can't put it on him right now coz I can't for the life of me bring myself to cover up that beautiful face. XDMy face looks like that in the morning when I forgot to remove the make-up the other night. XDYeahhh, Bucky's face is pretty much exactly how I look whenever I attempt to do a smokey eye.Makeup is harder than it looks.

I'm getting both. I've mentioned before back in the thread, it'll enable me to actually have the CW figure as representing Bucky and TWS figure as a villain, decked out in full TWS garb.
