I recently picked up a loose Lady Deadpool this past week...so here's some quick thoughts...

Lady D was not a figure I initially planned on picking up, (I had already traded for her BAF piece) but after watching a few reviews, I figured why not (because I have a problem) and was able to get her on the cheap.



I'm truthfully surprised by how much I have enjoyed her this far. I really like the head sculpt, and I like the shade of red they went with for the plastic. The removable items like the harness and leg pouches are pulled off nicely, as they stay in place, and I like how the harness, while devoid of sheathes, do a good job with weapon storage, as it is not too tight to the body, but allows just enough wiggle room for them to be stored without smushing them against her body. Oh...and the Headpool accessory is well painted and a hoot.

The only drawbacks that I was able to nitpick were the lack of firearms (thankfully I've amassed plenty over the years, though my pistol collection is starting to run dry,) and I'm not particularly crazy about the Hellcat body mold being used here with the "cones". In addition, she doesn't seem to be able to stand up straight, thanks to her kneecaps being a bit big. No trigger fingers, but an easy mod and we're golden. The paints on mine were mostly crisp, but there was some fuzziness that I had to touch up. Shame that the Deadpools ended up with these paint issues, because my non DP figures from the wave (X23/Omega Red/Bishop) had some of the cleanest apps that I have seen in a year or more, giving me some Hope's that Hasbro was continuing to step up their game.

All things said, a complete and total shocker of a figure for me that I honestly had no expectations for as I had hold no ties to the character. I spent a bunch of time playing around with her, and even went through the trouble of customizing a "Wanda" head, something I wouldn't bother with if I didn't think it was a cool figure to begin with. Outside the classic DP we got back with Sasquatch, this might very well be my favorite DP to date.



(NOTE: I'm not sure what Lady D looks like under the mask as it seems there are versions of her being scarred and un-scarred, and Google images isn't much help as all it gave me were about 300 images of cosplay with varying degrees of success, so I played it safe and just stuck with the regular version. Hopefully you Lady D fans out there dig it...)
