Maybe the theme was villains turned heroes?
I wasn't really in the market for another
Black Widow since she isn't really a character I care a lot about, and I never even new that she ever wore this costume... but, hey, mine was quite outdated, so this isn't completely unwelcome!
Well, this is a
simple look. She's using the new female torso, which looks great on her. As much as I like the black, red and yellow color scheme.... I don't know, I don't find anything about this costume eye-catching. No wonder she
never wore it again! The wristbands are sculpted onto the arms, and they look quite nice. Sadly, the leg strap hangs
loose on her leg, so it could fall at any moment.
She comes with two headsculpts, and both look really nice... except for how over-sized they are. I compared the size with Ms. Marvel, who also uses the new buck, and sure enough, she has less chin AND forehead than Black Widow. She also comes with those lame female open hands they love to use, as well as two fists. It would've been nice to get some effects for the wristbands instead of the open hands...
Since she uses the new female buck, articulation is excellent. Double jointed elbows and knees, swivels on her biceps and thighs, butterfly joints, a ball jointed ab crunch and a hinged waist lets her hit all the
lithe poses you'd want her in.
The arms are a bit gummy, as sadly we've come to expect from
cheap Hasbro. Also pictured her large head, man, it's
almost as large as her chest! She is a hair shorter than Bucky Cap.
I don't hate the figure, but I don't care for it. There's nothing interesting about her or her design, and I really hate how large her head looks on this body. Some effects for her wristbands would've been a quite welcome.
