I was pleasantly surprised to come across this while grocery shopping this morning, I saw everyone in the wave but Nat was the only one I wanted for now. Overall it's a solid figure but there are some little gripes. There are some paint paint smudges on her chest and more problematically her ankle-tilt pins go almost straight down into the feet so that she doesn't really have much tilt to speak of. Like many of Hasbro's Star Wars figures her elbows are only single-hinged but they cut it so that you can get well more than 90 degrees out of the bend. I'm glad that her wrist-bracer bits are separate pieces and can be rotated or even removed if you don't care for them since out of the box both needing adjusting on mine. The pistols fit into the holsters nicely and there are slots in her small backpack for the batons. Finally Hasbro continues to make effective use of the digital face printing, at this point I've just gotten used to it.

My preorder that I placed the day the figure went up says it’s estimated to arrive Thursday 4/2 but it hasn’t shipped yet so I would guess the street date is somewhere between now and 4/1? |

Thanks! I have friends that order from them and I asked them to add a scarf to their next order! 👍

Anyone happen to have an extra Prowler from the Lizard wave for cheap? I don't need the BAF piece or even all his limbs, I just wanna use the arms for a custom project and I don't wanna shell out for a whole figure I'd just tear up anyways haha

As I am reading the comics I would love if Hasbro made a ML figure of herald of Thunder Thor from Donny Cates run on Thor

On another note...a worker at my local distribution center here in Tucson came down with Covid19, which caused them to shut down for a bit. I'm theorizing that's what caused the sudden change of my original shipping date (which was never delayed regardless as it went out from another DC) in the first place. I picked up both white Widows at Target today regardless. It wasn't on the shelf so I had to ask, and the worker was kind enough to fetch it for me after showing her that it said it was in stock on the store locater. Having the non MCU one in hand, I'm really excited, both by the figure itself as it's definitely the best Widow we have received, and for the customization potential it holds. Like someone said here earlier, there is nothing wasted thanks to the great headsculpt and accessories, and catsuited body that will work for so many different characters. I can't wait till my preorders arrive so I can get to work! Although I'm pretty much done with MCU figs, the MCU Widow was nice enough to warrant a pickup, though I think the Endgame QR suit Widow head looks way better (not to mention more accurate) on it. My only honest gripe with it is that ugly seam where the neck is connected to the body, and the explosive effects...unless you cut the ball joints off of them, they can only be used with the included stand (which is great btw...love the spring loaded clamp.)

Got my Target Widows today, mostly as bases and for the accessories
I swapped the belt and stingers from the vintage card Widow, then I popped the White Queen head on and it's stand in Yelena One ofthe Widows became Sharon Carter The other one became Colleen Wing, I'm thinking I may eventually add th line work on her suit and track down a better katana I think the rifle works better for Mystique than the giant gold gun

I considered swapping her face with psylocke or silk, but it really isn't necessary.

I was originally planning on swapping her head with the head from the green outfit Phoenix, but Jean's eyes ended up being way too wide and I couldn't in good conscience try to pass her off as Asian. Plus the eyes and overall features of Widow's head sculpt surprisingly just worked very well as Colleen as-is, I thought, so I left it.

I passed on her at Target yesterday, I can't justify $40 for her

I couldn't help but instantaneously swap all of those out on my Widows. Nice Sharon Carter! Great minds must think alike or something, because our Sharon Carters are nearly identical. The only difference being the hair pieces. I went with the original figure's ponytail. Inspired thought for putting that rifle with Mystique. It looks great with her! |

Just put the last finishing touches on these, so time for a picture. Love how simple it was to just move, adjust, or rearrange a few pieces and get totally new characters or a new appearance for Nat's sake.
