Action Figure #42: DC Multiverse Poison Ivy

 Get your fresh vegetables here!
 Poison Ivy is a character that has risen in relevance in recent years, although she's usually depicted as being a bit more... green. Clearly, this one goes after a more classic, silver age look, which is fine by me, even if it's not my favorite look for her!
 Well, the sculpt is alright. She has the same body mold as the final female bucks they made, like Harley Quinn, but it seems like her feet can't pivot to the sides, unlike Harley's. The balls on her shoulder's seem to be a bit too large for her torso, so I had some issues pushing her arms downwards unless I pulled upwards on the arm itself. Other than that, she's alright. That said, much like Harley, it looks as if she'd have an ab crunch, but that division is just for show, she can't twist her torso.
 She comes with 4 ivy effects that wrap around her legs and arms, and they look really good, but tend to fall off. She also came with a.... crossbow? Since when did she carry a crossbow? The handle seems to be too large for her grip, heck, the crossbow itself looks a bit oversized, so it's not a good accessory, much less for Ivy. She's slightly taller than the Bucky Cap mold.
 She's a bit unremarkable, but for a Poison Ivy figure she is totally serviceable. It's a good represenation of a very classic, Silver Age Poison Ivy.... but I prefer her more modern looks.
