Marvel Legends Black Widow (a.k.a. Scarlett Johansson!)

I have been on the lookout for this toy for MONTHS and had totally given up. I was on the verge of paying too much for it on Amazon or Ebay when I just happened to look through the Caps & Winter Soldiers gathering dust on the shelves at Target when...I SPOTTED HER!  Awesome surprise!



This figure looks spot on with Scarlett Johansson's likeness.  You get the option of using her shorter "Avengers" hair or her longer "Winter Soldier" hair.  Both head options look pretty great.  Unfortunately for you, I accidentally stored her extra accessories in my extras tub and it's not easy to get to.  Sorry, my bad.  To make it up to you, here are some closeups of ScarJo's awesome figure!



Hasbro did release a pretty good Black Widow figure a few years back that came in a 2-pack with a really well done Winter Soldier figure.  These were pretty hard to find and she came in a black and gray suit options.  I looked hard for the black suit, but had to settle for the gray.  I was really happy with that figure, but it's nowhere near as slick as this new one.  Just look at the body sculpt.  The older one just looks weird, with long, skinny legs and a short torso.  Scarlett's version has a very realistic body sculpt for an action figure and the details and paint apps on her suit look great.



With the addition of this figure, by Avengers shelf is looking more like the movies and less like the comics, not that that's a bad thing.  Here's Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow, Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, and Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye.


And here they are with my other comic-based SHIELD figures.  There's someone missing here...Hasbro!  How about a Marvel Legends Coulson figure already?!?


And last, but not least, your moment of zen...
