Switch out her head for one of the Winter Soldier Black Widow ones, and give her Widow's set of hands (to replace the monstrous ones the figure already has), and that's it. Extremely simple, and you now have an Agent 13 who won't give you severe eye pain to look at.

Not a bad idea with the head swap trick, although truthfully, as much as Rogue...erm..I mean...Sharon...gets bagged on for her face, it's not actually that bad. I found that it's proper placement of the eyes and lipstick either makes or breaks the sculpt, and if you have a steady enough hand to touch up either one, (the lipstick on mine was all off, but I managed to fix it with a dab of acrylic) the original head can be salvaged for a unique look.

The hand trick was one I tried out when I first bought the Sharon, but I never mentioned here. It does work, but to anyone who tries it, be warned, the pegs on the WS Widow are very small and fit very loose, giving her wobbly, helicopter, wrists. You also lose a tiny bit of articulation (the wrist swivel.) I tried it for a bit, but I got tired of her hands spinning around in the sockets, so I ended up going back to Sharon's original set of paws...

I thought about trying this swap with the AoU 4 pack Widow, as the wrist pegs might be larger, but I didn't want to needlessly pull apart a unique figure from a 4 pack only to find there's no difference, nor did I feel like painting the fingers on those hands to give it the finger-less glove look the WS Widow had.
