Kotobukiya Captain America & Winter Soldier Statue Set

A KOTOBUKIYA Japanese import! During World War II, James Buchanan "Bucky" Barnes served as Captain America's sidekick and partner, fighting crime around the world. After a terrible accident Bucky is believed to be dead, but in fact is found by Russians. They outfit him with powerful cybernetics and brainwash him to believe he is their assassin, with the code-name WINTER SOLDIER. With Captain America's help Bucky reclaims his identity and becomes a force for good once again. Captured in mid-air by master sculptor Junnosuke Abe, Winter Soldier crashes into a trio of HYDRA troopers. The dynamic Soldier looks like he was pulled right out of the comics, with his intricate costume and powerful mechanical arm. No detail has been left out, with attention paid to each weapon, strap, buckle, and even the heroic Cap style star on Winter Soldier's arm. For a great display option, the assassin comes with an alternate head - the long haired version of Winter Soldier! Fully 13 inches tall, Winter Soldier is constructed of cold cast porcelain and is a limited, numbered edition. The stone base is actually the shape and style of Captain America's shield, hinting that another half of the base may be coming to The Kotobukiya Collection in the near future.

Like his previous incarnation in the Winter Soldier Fine Art Statue, the New Captain America is dynamically posed flying through the air, crashing into three Hydra troopers. Also sculpted by Junnosuke Abe the modern American hero is outfitted in his current costume, blending the traditional with the new. The classic red, white, and blue are offset by the new black bodysuit, complete with utility belt, combat knife, and pistol! Of course, he is clutching Rogers' original iconic shield. The hero's face is a grimace of anger and determination as he dispenses his own brand of justice. Standing 13 inches tall, the New Captain America has the same high-quality cold cast porcelain construction that all of The Kotobukiya Collection shares, and is a limited, numbered edition. His base forms the other half of the Captain America shield symbol, matching up with the Winter Soldier Fine Art Statue's so the two heroes can fight back to back in a stunning diorama scene!
