Can HT please reissue the original -- and BEST -- Winter Soldier please?
Overall, a good fig esp. for the price at the time. TWS and IW are better figs either because of the accessories, dual portraits (TWS) or amazing sculpt (IW). IW has spectacular arm and great costume details.
CW is good, not great, as the portrait is generic; the pants are too short and pull out of boots when posing; and the rounded sole of the boot makes him difficult to stand alone. Rifle and arm are big selling points - plus,ya know, it's a Civil War fig. Body also switches out perfectly with TWS Bucky - did that for one of my TWS to get that shiny, shiny arm. CW Bucky kinda is like BP #1 to me - good, not great, due to needing more switchouts and accessories and a better sculpt/paint. CW paint is pretty middle of the road; proto paint way better.
IW is a superior release for sure, even if the rifle is a re-use. But if u gotta have a shiny silver arm, then - CW version.
First figure was definitely the best but that doesn't mean they should reissue it.
what did you do to BP
at this point, the only bucky I would take is from TWS.

But they still should anyway.
Nope. Watering down any hobby eventually destroys. Integrity is important. Need to focus on all the worthy figures that haven't yet been made and making new content better. If you want an older figure go find it and buy it.
I don't want the older figure though, I want a better version.
HT should def put out a 2.0 of TWS especially since his look/character is featured in episode 1.
That said, the only figure I'd be interested in the most so far would be Zemo. The baller jacket and the face mask would make it stand out quite a bit.
Yeah, I hear you about Zemo that mask and coat combo is sick ...if HT announces that figure I’m pre-ordering end of story!!!!
I realize that a lot of people have understandably expressed skepticism about preordering lately, however for me when it’s a figure that I want like Scarlet Witch or Zemo (hopefully) I like to order then forget about it.
Maybe I am being naive or putting too much faith in Hot Toys but I have yet to feel let down by any of the figures I have received from them. That said I realize that relatively speaking I’m pretty new to the hobby (4yrs) and only have a modest collection (34 figures) so I may have a lot to learn but as things stand I don’t mind these companies “holding my money” for quite some time. For me unless it is money that I was planning on investing it doesn’t matter to me where it “sits”
What bothers some people being disappointed in a fig doesn't bother others, so there's that. Like I read a comment someplace - not on this board - that called the TWS Bucky a POS. Since it was one of the highlights of my collecting life the day I got a NIB Winter Soldier in hand, I don't get that. Still don't, but I got into it late and paid upmarket prices. So I wasn't around for whatever hand wringing went on. Same for the SSC Jawa pair.
Also I'd rather eat an NRD than have a fig I don't like; thanx to some great vids there's plenty of warning.
My concern is the constant delays that are getting out of hand. I've bought almost my entire collection from Sideshow, save one or two, and usually did the pre-order installment plans. And that was fine...but this Endgame Cap debacle has more than soured me on the process.
