I agree!! Makes a huge difference, I think!
Glad everyone likes it so far
If no one else comments with their opinions on the expression by tonight, I'll give Waruna the go ahead for him to continue!! anic:
I like the preview, just a hint of a smile.

The thing with the slight smile is that I think it can only be more noticeable through the paint job - you smile with your eyes as well as with your lips, so I suppose depending how noticeable you want the smirk/smile to be, it will depend on how bright your painter does his eyes. If I'm honest, I didn't notice the smile/smirk at all when Waruna first showed me :rotfl
Waruna's going to move forward with this expression guys, most of you seem pretty happy with it, so unless there's a huge revolt, he'll keep it this way

Waruna just sent through another WIP!! He's getting closer to finishing, guys! He said he needs to work on the likeness a bit better, but this is what he currently has. Any constructive criticism to help him nail the likeness is welcomed!!
Wooa! That's looking really good so far! *_* I kinda wish we could get two sculpts so I could have this one and a more neutral/serious one to fit Azzano Bucky. This one here sure looks great but I kinda find it difficult to see Azzano or Howlies Bucky. It looks perfect for pre-war Buck though! Maybe I just got difficulties imagining this for the other Buckys coz he rarely smiles after Azzano ... ;___;Waruna just sent through another WIP!! He's getting closer to finishing, guys!

I think it really depends on how you paint him - he does smile a little initially in the bar after Azzano, so I think if you get him painted with cuts and bruises post-Azzano, it might be okay
But hey, Waruna has the sculpt now, so maybe we can convince him to do a second :lolWell, I know but the smiles he does after Azzano are a lot different than this one here. This smile looks more like the cocky Bucky from the beginning of the movie:I think it really depends on how you paint him - he does smile a little initially in the bar after Azzano, so I think if you get him painted with cuts and bruises post-Azzano, it might be okay
After Azzano he mostly looks like this:
or this
The times when he's smiling is when he's putting on a smile for Steve before switching to a very painful look once Steve's look isn't on him anymore:
Or when they're in the bar and Bucky has a real smile coz can you believe Steve? XD
Or when he's trying to charm Peggy ..
Or when he's kinda cracking a joke
Now don't get me wrong, I love that there's life in his expression and I love that tiny smile on Bucky's face but it's kinda limiting, ya know? Most people are gonna display him with either Rescue Cap or the Golden Age Cap and I think both look ready for action with serious looks so why would Bucky, who is isn't smiling a lot, look like that next to him? I mean, for example, the cocky grinning expression makes sense for Scott and it works coz it's Ant-Man and it's Scott. ^^ He is like that most of the time. But with Buck ... I dunno. Now if I had a less serious Steve to go with him, I wouldn't even type this much. XD I'd just jump on it.
Well, in the end I'm happy with whatever we get coz I need TFA Buck in my life but if we could get Waruna to do 2 sculpts like he did with Kratos, now that would be perfect.
Edit:
Maybe Waruna could offer 2 sculpts as a bundle. *_* Now I dunno about you but that would be like Christmas to me. That way, everyone would be happy and if someone doesn't want both, there's still the option to split with someone else. ^.^ What do you guys say?

That.... Was one very long smile meta :lol
I mean if he's doing two, we probably wouldn't need to split the bundle if one person didn't want one version, he could probably just offer both separately and a "two for one" type price for the bundle. But I'm happy with the idea if Waruna's happy to do it.

I'm with trashcat on this one. While I think the smile does liven up the sculpt a bit I would prefer a more ready for action/ determined expression as the figures he'd be displayed with mostly convey that. Closest expressions I can think of are when Bucky snipes the German and cap signals him or when he picks up cap's shield on the train and is shooting his .45.

Yeah, Waruna's going to work on a more serious sculpt so everyone has two options to choose from
Which is very lovely of him. Choices are awesome :lolI'll definitely use the more serious one for my Azzano Buck. :clap So happy I might just get two expressions to choose from. I could actually see myself make another Buck with the smiling head sculpt ... pre-war Bucky! ♥ But I'd need skinny Steve for that ... if this project here is finished, I might just tackle the smol one.

I'm glad everyone's going to get the sculpt they wanted :clap Thank you Trash for mentioning it to Waruna
So, just to keep the thread bumped and for everyone to chat a bit more: Which version of Bucky is everyone going to be making with their sculpt? Howling Commando? Sergeant Barnes? or Azzano POW? Or, maybe something different entirely? What are your plans?

Yay for the more neutral, serious sculpt. I'm definitely doing a Howling Commando Bucky to go along with First Avenger Cap!
I'm definitely doing a Howling Commando Bucky to go along with First Avenger Cap!Haa~ gotta love Howlies Bucky but Azzano Buck is great too and since I got no plans to get Golden Age Cap or TFA Cap, I'll go for the one that matches my Rescue Cap.
And yeah, maybe I'll do pre-war Buck too. Really, the only problem here is that there's no skinny Steve. Finding a body isn't the problem, the head is. ;__; Why is there no skinny Steve?

I guess a lot of people don't really want weedy pre-Cap, Cap? :lol I'm considering doing Sergeant Barnes, but I think I'll decide once I see both sculpts
Whaaaat?! How can you not want skinny Steve?! The smol one is awesome! Seriously, if you're a Cap fan, ya need skinny Steve. Damn ... now I really want one ... XD
OMG are you for real?! This is great! *__* I'd want a Dum Dum and Morita myself ... wait ... you really can't have these guys without the rest of the team. Daaamn ... how awesome would that be? If anyone ever decides to commission those guys, count me in. ^^
