Black Cat is my most anticipated action figure release this year, though I admit Generations Rhinox is a close second.

If you head to Target, be sure to sift through the piles and piles of Red Rangers...I kinda accidentally stumbled upon him because I was picking up some Rangers that had fallen off the shelf onto the floor, and "wham"...there he was. I was kinda surprised by the quality of the figure too. I have literally not bought a PR since high school, and was blown away by the poseability and accessories. It's by no means as spectacular as some of the higher end Rangers that have been coming out...but he's pretty damn slick. I'll definitely be hunting for the White Ranger now...

Black Cat completely took me by shock. Like you, she was the figure I most looked forward to this year (even more than my Hot Toys Robocop on pre-order) and when Hasbro announced that there would be swap figures, I was sure she was going to end up in the graveyard with Blade, Rogue, Moonstone, (Please release Toxin Hasbro!!!) and so many others. Imagine my relief when I found her...I was like that dude in that episode of the Toy Hunter with the $15'000 dollar Boba Fett, reduced to literally giggling with her in the aisle. It's the first time I can remember in a while, where the finished product looked like the promo shots.

My only gripe was the blue shading for her hair color, but it's done so well, it really is terrific. Like another poster said, the Moonstone body does wonders for her and fits her well, and the paint apps are incredible (at least on mine) with no running paints, smudged lipsticks, or even lazy eyes. I wish that her whip was done with a piece of string or rope instead of plastic, but it's an easy mod, and I will probably be doing so once I finally get my pre-order in and open her up.

I hope you come across her soon! Hopefully you'll feel the way I did.
