XM Studios Winter Soldier

[TethMau74]

Hey peeps! I've updated the PO dates of all upcoming statues (that are greenlighted) Lots of stuff happening in 2015!

http://www.xm-studios.com/po-ship-dates.aspx

Also, with us removing some X-Men statues (Deadpool, Quick Silver, Scarlet Witch and Brown Wolverine), we have reviewed the polls and ideas from the community and excited to announce the 4 replacements will be Punisher, Winter Soldier, Ghost Rider and..... King Pin! (Subject to approvals still)

I wanted to get a thread started for under appreciated character. I'm eager to see the concept art!! :drooling:

[fateel]

I like a Winter Soldier to square off with my CA!

[TethMau74]

I'm hoping XM keeps the design simple yet have fine details. A good example is the harness and pouches on the Cable 3D sculpt:

That kind of fine work done on Winter Soldier would look phenomenal:

It would be great if the statue came with an optional hand catching Captain America's shield like in the comic book/movie.

Something to aim at Cap or Black Widow while staying simple...

http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20091109171010/marveldatabase/images/c/c4/WINT001.jpg


This could included a red laser sight and a scope with real magnifying glass. Of course switch out long/short hair and guns galore like BW!

Base could be something like this crumbled wall and maybe some Russian writing or symbols on it.

That would look sweet!

[VaultMan]

One of my favorite characters of the last few years. And there's no conceivable way I thought I could ever like a reborn Bucky. But he's the coolest

Would really want to buy this :laugh:

[TethMau74]

As far as the costume goes I feel either a pure comic version or one with movie elements added would work. Marvel did a great job of modernizing the look for the movie.

Comic book version:

I agree that simple is the way to go with Winter Soldier. An AR-15 like in the picture with would work great for him.


Of course switch out long/short hair and guns galore like BW!

A long hair and short hair portrait to represent the bad/good version of him is a must. Perhaps blend the comics and movies by having the long hair version with the goggles/mask and short hair version with the traditional domino mask. XM would also need to have cybernetic arm versions with the red star and the white star with red ring/blue background to represent pre and post brainwashing. All he needs for weapons is a handgun, an AR-15 type rifle and some knives; nice and simple.

A rooftop edge would work as a base; reminiscent of the first confrontation when Cap threw his shield and Winter Soldier caught it.

[TethMau74]

I hope we see some concept art soon. :drooling:

[VaultMan]

gimme gimme gimme gimme....

[TethMau74]

Punisher concept art....check.
Ghost Rider concept art....check.
We need Winter Soldier! :psycho:

Maybe a swap out movie and comic head portraits.

[TethMau74]

XM Studios has so much on their plate at the moment with Star Wars, Batman and Marvel Busts that I hope this character doesn't get pushed out of the creation cycle. It seems that this character doesn't rate high on the popularity scale compared to some of the other characters/licenses that are being worked on; and it seems that myself and perhaps a few others on this board show interest or enthusiasm toward this character. Looking at the market the only good looking Winter Soldier statue is the Bowen Designs version (the Hot Toys version is a figure, not a statue). If nothing else XM you could always just do Winter Soldier as part of the 1/6 scale Avengers Assemble line. Smaller statue and edition size would save on costs. After seeing the great sculpt of Black Widow I think XM and H.M.O. should consider going to the Avengers Assemble line; but I am still hold out hope on the 1/4 scale version.

[TethMau74]

Iron Studios is working on a 1/10 scale Winter Soldier. I'm not sure if XM Studios is aware of them but perhaps it will help with the ideas.

[loricstone]

XM is already hard at work on a Winter Soldier. They have stated this before. Kingpin is in the works as well. I'm sure we will see something pretty soon.

[dino76m]

concept looks awesome

[Peedi]

https://scontent-iad3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xtp1/v/t1.0-9/s720x720/12122435_1607857886101571_6247757501215532383_n.jpg?oh=7bd8de6cb6fb72200d4c87c999c5da71&oe=56B4CD79

[Peedi]

Since XM is serious about it wonder if SS will try to pump out their movie version now?

They were going for it with this ad...dynamic, accurate, authentic, and worldwide...lol.

http://generalsjoes.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/sideshow_Captain_America.jpg

[Lockdown]

Winter Soldier with two arms up looks like he his surrendering, maybe have his left arm down and towards his body holding a large knife with the blade facing backward. Looking good though.

[Thor57]

I'm sure it will be great, but pose isn't for me.

[Darkheir]

https://scontent-iad3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xtp1/v/t1.0-9/s720x720/12122435_1607857886101571_6247757501215532383_n.jpg?oh=7bd8de6cb6fb72200d4c87c999c5da71&oe=56B4CD79

Sorry to say, but the pose doesn't work for me at all. Awkward and vunerable, it really undermines the nature of the character.

Very odd art direction overall, and not what I'd expect from XM. If they stick with this pose, I'm out.

[Demona]

Looks like he's landing. But what is he landing on? Who does the base tie into?

I don't mind the pose, then again, I'm not getting this piece either.

[Remember Me?]

When I think of Winter Soldier, I always think of him as a ghost, so I associate him to a sniper. With that said, I prefer him to be crouching on the ground and aiming with his sniper rife.

[TethMau74]

https://scontent-iad3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xtp1/v/t1.0-9/s720x720/12122435_1607857886101571_6247757501215532383_n.jpg?oh=7bd8de6cb6fb72200d4c87c999c5da71&oe=56B4CD79

Just when I was starting to give up hope on seeing proof of concept, XM finally comes through. :D

Winter Soldier with two arms up looks like he his surrendering,maybe have his left arm down and towards his body holding a large knife with the blade facing backward. Looking good though.

I'm not wild about the arms in the air pose either. I get the impression XM is trying to go for the look of him landing onto whatever that is he's perched on. I would hope that we see some options for other arm poses, like the one Lockdown suggested. Another option is to have a 1911 handgun in one hand and a knife facing backwards/downwards in the other. XM could also go with an arm pose similar to the one Bowen Designs uses:
http://i1296.photobucket.com/albums/ag11/TethMau74/Bowen%20Designs/DSC02128_zpsidnfx7s3.jpg

I'm also hoping to see a masked version like from the movie. Keep up the good work XM! :thumbs2:

[built2shred]

Looks like he's on top of some prototype gun that is powered by whatever's in that tank.

[loricstone]

I get the feeling this statue will have tons of options and be full of details. I see a switch out masked head, multiple switch out arms / weapons as well. I think this is going to be a fantabulous statue once the 3d render is completed and it goes to print.

I love your optimism Loric. Just hope you're right! :thinking:

[FastballSpecial]

Anyone else dying to see this one? Bucky is one of my favorite characters so this is a must for me.

[FastballSpecial]

What's going on with Bucky ??

[GrumpyBear]

I believe he is in work, patience. :)

[FastballSpecial]

I believe he is in work, patience. :)

He's one of my top favorite characters so it's hard for me to be patient ;)

[FastballSpecial]

Gonna keep bumping this until I see some updates! :D :D :D

[HEVampersand]

Any updates on this one?

[FastballSpecial]

He's been printed! Waiting to see WIP images! Hurry up XM please!!

this looks good!!

[boibleu22]

Looks like we're getting a classic eye mask!

[davide87ita]

Looks like we're getting a classic eye mask!

Probably will be more than one head

[loricstone]

Think IM MK 7 and you guys can imagine how impressive he will be. Two completely different looks and poses.

I can't wait to see the full reveal...I wonder how they are going to display him at TCC? Or will they have multiple versions displayed like they did with Venom.:praying:

[rhy]

More pics of the cybernetic arm!

[Demona]

I like how the arm is a dull silver. And the suit texture goes without saying.

[Vince_be]

It looks really good, i hope i will be able to get this winter soldier to put him as a companion piece with the new civil war cap from IS.

https://i58.servimg.com/u/f58/19/54/07/65/winter11.jpg

[loricstone]

If people like Cable...then Winter Soldier is going to do the same thing for them. Actually a little more probably! I predict WS will be another potential bombastic statue! This will be highly wanted!!! Best WS done so far...you can take that to the bank!!:D

[actionjackson83]

Calling it now, this will be a show stopper for all cap/Bucky fans.

[aa909]

https://i58.servimg.com/u/f58/19/54/07/65/winter11.jpg

I don't like this pose. maybe its the angle but his left arm is in an awkward bird like pose. the rear shot we saw of the statue looked better!

[actionjackson83]

That's not it, it's completely changed...

[silentwinter92]

Might be a little fleshy around the cheeks? Looks like hes chewing on something. Rest of the statue is ace.

[Tbolt]

I think this came out great! I don't really need the character though, so probably wouldn't make the investment, but think they nailed this one.

[Mr.Knight]

Looks great! Might be my first XM piece!

Here is a video from Koleksi Saya @ TCC

[Calisthenics]

Anyone know who sculpted winter soldier

[jadekite22]

Probably the unsung piece of the show for me. It's not as jaw-dropping as Cable, but it's a perfect 3D translation from the Brubaker/Epting comics. Would probably look great beside the Bucky Cap PF of yore.

[FJC]

This needs a long hair portrait.

[davide87ita]

Will be cool a switch out arm like this

[It's Sisko]

Sheesh, I had to go all the way to page 6 to find the thread for this guy! This Winter Soldier is my #1 most underrated piece of STGCC 2017. It looks ok in pics, and then when I saw it in person I was like "WOW!" The portrait is perfect, the costume is really detailed, and the base looks killer. I honestly loved it. I think when people start getting this in hand they'll be pleasantly surprised. I preferred the gun hands myself, but the knife option is nice too. I'll have a video with the knife arm coming up later.

agree, I like this piece as well and will likely pick it up down the road. There are way too many statues coming out from all these companies so I don't see this one selling aggressively and expect good deals on this once it starts shipping. Likely fall in the same category as Thor, Dr. Strange etc in terms of demand.

that's possible, let's see how it plays out. But a ton of XM pieces that have been out for >1 yr are selling at retail or below on the FB BST groups.

Wow that's nice. They need to do US Agent. It won't happen but I would buy it.

[Remember Me?]

Meh...boring and awkward pose. It's a pass for me.

[aa909]

cool piece. Not a must have for me, but I'll keep an eye open for one of these on the BST groups for under retail next year.

[Ballsagne]

Looks good, but no long hair portrait (I think he originally had long hair I forgot)

[aa909]

yeah, lots of folks passing on this on the FB page because it lacks the long hair

[actionjackson83]

long hair only came from the movies...

[HomeJay]

Getting this for the sake of winter soldier cause theres none atm. :( but looks like a low response. Hope the MTO is rly low.

[Subby1938]

I just got heads up it's PO reservation is ready. This will be made to order piece so ES will be tiny. Sleeper here

[It's Sisko]

This guy does not get nearly enough love. He is AWESOME in person!

[FastballSpecial]

This guy does not get nearly enough love. He is AWESOME in person!

I think he looks great. He will look amazing next to Cap.

[FJC]

No, when the WS was introduced he had long hair. Epting drew him with long hair that was about collar length. Just take a look at the Bowen WS statue. It's sculpted with long hair and Bowen statues are known for being comic accurate.

I agree. I think he looks more bad ass with long hair and XM should've offered a long haired COH. I can't believe they didn't do it. You would think that's a no-brainer.

I could have sworn there were 2 heads at one point?

Yea this iteration of Winter Soldier didn’t do much for me. Longer hair may have changed everything, but that’s being optimistic. There’s a little less realism with this one for some reason.

"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.

Hey GB, please stop using the terms XM Studios Europe because until now they are Gheroes Distributor of XM Studios Marvel pieces. At worst you can say XM Studios Germany because only German people can order directly from XM Studios website and for example benefit of the Prestige member program...but no other country in Europe..so please use appropriate terms.

You know GHeroes is the XM Studios Master Distributor for Europe which delivers every shop in europe with XM Studios statues. So it´s XM Studios Europe.

They are a distributor that's it , you said it yourself...

Bryan answered.. so please..At least write XM Studios EUROPE Distributor...

"That is because the EU distributor isn't actually XM, they are a distributor but because they only sell XM, they have adopted the XM EU business name. They have their own programs, processes, operations etc. I think they should offer some sort of VIP or loyalty member programs? I'll be heading to Lucca convention in Nov to speak personally with EU collectors and gather feedback on how to better service our EU customers. One of the key topics would be addressing the high customs and tax, and ways we can try to bring costs and shipping down for EU."

"Long ago"...One month ago man..just one month..Just stop telling XM Studios Europe...It is XM Studios European Distributor...
Why European people are not allowed to get the Prestige Member benefit and only German can have it and order through XM Studios website ?? Just explain, as long as it is..i don't see any "Europe" in this...

[WolverineFan]

One of those rare XM statues that are very underwhelming. I don’t like this piece at all especially the face sculpt. The base is generic. It makes sense why this statue has pretty much zero hype and only 10 pages. I wouldn’t even get this if I could get a bargain of $500. I like almost every XM statue that has come out thus far but this one missed the mark for me

[Vince_be]

Personnally i found it very cool..Especially with the knife combat pose. The base doesn't bother me at all. I must say i was for big base but now ...i'd like to save some space..so huge base aren't what i'm looking for anymore. This statue is very monochrome , i think they should have done another head with long hair floating in the wind to add more movement..like it was on the render i think

[Cali604]

I think they should have done a long hair portrait...that was a big mistake :(

[Spec Fiction]

I agree big time. the original concept art head sculpt was way better! And please don't get mad at me for saying but I think the captain america films (winter solider & civil war) are the best marvel movies to ever. I would have loved a Sebastian Stand WS portrait for this piece.

Those two are in my top 3 with Thor Ragnarok. Top 5, I would add Avengers 1 and Guardians 1. But yeah Bucky and the actor who plays him is awesome in those films. This statue I agree would look better with long hair but it is still underwhelming

Cant get mad at u for that, Chris Evans rocked it as Cap. Yup, ghe original concept had the long hair portrait and it is what he has used in comics so totally puzzled why it got dropped. I know they may say its too similar to movie look, but it would have sold like hot cakes!

I still do like the statue and I believe that in person it will be a lot better, just a bit puzzled why they dropped a second portrait when most of their pieces include two.

Winter Soldier is my favourite movie from the MCU as well.

SAME. Civil war is second but VERY close.

Yea he rules. I will miss him as cap :(

Yes, but that concept art looks NOTHING like sebastian stan. So very puzzled :thinking:

[It's Sisko]

For whatever reason Marvel has been EXTREMELY strict on XM lately in terms of approvals. So since the concept art had long hair but the statue doesn't I would guess the long hair portrait was not approved. This piece doesn't photograph well, but it was the statue that I was most pleasantly surprised by at STGCC. After seeing it in person I thought it was way underrated.

"I love it!! The details and texturing throughout the suit, the knee pads, the pants even the vest he has on has its own texture!!

The base paint app is really kool, I wish I knew what it was but it really looks like different metals with scratches, dents and what looks to be bullet holes all over. The paint is littlel to dark though and it kind of blends in with Winter soldier a bit, but still very nice. Maybe looking at it a few days more I'll appreciate it more.

The wrinkles in his boots from him leaning forward look accurate as ---- and the laces are awesome. The portait overall is well done, the paint app, the 5 o'clock shadow and his muscular jawline give you the Lee Bermejo style Winter Soldier. The wrinkles above the his eye brows are realistic. XM Studios Premium Collectibles did a spectacular job!

So glad I didn´t sell it.", Jose Gonzalez.

If you're interested you should get it. The lip color is not an issue at all for me and I don't even notice it unless I'm inches away from the piece.

These aren't good pictures but just took them to illustrate the switchout options.

Well, if you can't find an AOU Cap there's always the Civil War version and if you can't get that one there's always a chance Iron Studios will do another one for the next Avengers movie. He's clean shaven in the trailers so it wouldn't surprise me to see them use that same head sculpt a 3rd time.:D
