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.

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

I just picked up the Target exc., March 29th street date.

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?

Looks like I’ll be taking some risks next week. Walmart seems like the perfect place to catch a wide range of viruses.

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

I'm assuming it's April 2nd...that's what my order from Walmart.com still says. My Target orders shipped out today despite them saying it was backordered and wouldn't be shipped till the 6th...so who knows. *shrugs.

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

Ah, so I'm not the only one who thought of doing that! It works so well, especially since Colleen is usually depicted with red or reddish-brown hair and Widow's eyes on this figure look slightly Asian...

I have yet to see anything BW at all at any store.

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.

Found a Squirrel Girl set today and a cybervillain blaze at target.. And got my trench warrior arms to finish my fishman thanx to bb. Glad i finally have sq as yes shes a goofball character but for some inexplicable reason i like her.

I'm going to eventually add her mole and color the piping on the suit

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

I couldnt either but with the pinwheel and coupon it was a hair under 30.....which is much more reasonable. Sadly no colleen wings....i mean white outfit nat or rhulks.

Glad to see that I'm not the only one who bought 3 of the new Black Widows and instantly started breaking them apart!!

The new gold blasters and belt look sooooo much better compared to the original flat yellow. 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.

The new Thor run is awesome. I love me some Cates. Absolute Carnage was sick too. He and a few others made me think there is hope for comics again. I also am loving Captain Marvel.

But yeah a new figure 2 pack of him and Galactus like the wolverine/sentinel would be killer.

2 pack of Capt Marvel/Star Girl.
