yup



XM should've offered this head as well. Looks cool

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.

^^^Grumpy enough with the marketing crap. You just posted the same exact marketing pictures a few days ago.

You must stop just looking at the pictures, read the text on both post. Then you see maybe the difference.
