James Buchanan "Bucky" Barnes, was created by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby as a sidekick character in Captain America Comics #1 (cover-dated March 1941), published by Timely Comics (Marvel's 1940s predecessor). Decades later, the original Bucky was brought back from supposed death as the Winter Soldier, and even as Captain America when Steve Rogers was presumed to be dead.
Sebastian Stan portrays Bucky in the feature film Captain America: The First Avenger (2011) and the Winter Soldier in Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014). As Steve Rogers' best friend, who has re-emerged as an enhanced brainwashed assassin after being thought killed in action during World War II, Bucky is now the Winter Soldier.
In the trailers for the film, one of the most memorable moments was when Captain America (Steve Rogers) hurls his shield at the Winter Soldier to try and stop him from getting away after he has "killed" Nick Fury. He turns and stops the shield in mid flight with his metal arm. It tells of the intense conflict and battle that is to follow. At that point, we still didn't know who the Winter Soldier was (although those of us who have read the comic books already know the answer to that question).
This is the recently released Hot Toys MMS241 Captain America: The Winter Soldier 1/6th scale Sebastian Stan as Bucky / Winter Soldier Collectible Figure (Note: 1/6 shield NOT included. Used for photography purposes)

The Hot Toys Winter Soldier packaging is standard as with all of Hot Toys' other releases. In the past, Hot Toys did try to be creative with their box packaging. An example was the Hot Toys MMS82 Movie Masterpiece Series 1/6 scale Johnny Depp as Edward Scissorhands fully pose-able action figure (check out the pictures HERE). Nowadays, you just lift the lid / cover and the figure with his accessories is found inside, but not before a card that displays an actual picture of the figure in full bleed which is placed over the tray holding the figure and accessories.
Here's the 12-inch Winter Soldier collectible figure with all the 1/6 scale accessories. That's a lot of accessories. I don't remember Hot Toys including so many accessories with their figure for a while now. One of the Hot Toys figures that came with a lot of accessories was the Blade II collectible figure that was released in 2010. You can see the review and pictures posted earlier in my toy blog HERE.
