DD - unfortunately IMO if there's another piece like the Buckys I received *sigh*.
Sad to say, if I had to sum up it'd be "cheap shiny tiny Bucky". My fav MCU character IMO got dissed in a bad way with *lesser* *unworthy* production. Specifically, compared to the IW 1/10 -
1) I swear this Bucky looks small, tho supposedly 1/10. And way too skinny - I guess u don't get fed in the cosmic portal.
2) The crisp meticulous detail of the costume - pants especially - is missing. Looks like the pants were cast in olive plastic (whether they are poly or not) and the whole effect is kinda soft and plastic looking. Esp. compared to the IW version.
3) The arm - IMO a hallmark of this character - IMO sux. Cheap blackish paint washed with the same sienna used for the reddish weathering. A far cry from the almost dark bronzed effect of the IW fig, and sure doesn't look like the proto (which has the proper gold color paint in the joints). It's just plain ugly.
4) Far from looking like the grimly determined and generally po'd Winter Soldier, this face paint looks like someone who 1) is staring at cloud patterns or 2) ran all the way to the store for some stuff and realizes they forgot the list. Also to me looks pretty generic; could be anyone, really.
Well, the base is nice. Very heavy, and far heavier than the fig. The fig has some nice details which is weird looking at the plasticy, cut-corners areas, like the back of the boots (where nothing was done, at all, really.) The gun is nice.
And I bought TWO of these, because thought this would be the best 1/10 Bucky evah! Huh
. Not gonna send back, coz at distance and with some touch-ups can live with it. But not impressed. Don't have any complaints about DS at all, and Wasp looks nice (even tho still waiting on exchange) but kinda wary now
. And relieved MOST of the other pieces am waiting on don't have portraits.
Maybe it's not the kind of thing that bugs a lot of people; but I've been blown away by IS 1/10 pieces up to now, and I really expected the same quality or better than the IW pieces. Not running around trying to find "dulling spray" etc.
