This could included a red laser sight and a scope with real magnifying glass.

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.

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.

Comic book version:



Movie version:

Maybe a swap out movie and comic head portraits.

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.

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.

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.
