Hot Toys – MMS178 - The Avengers: 1/6th scale Black Widow Limited Edition Collectible

[mustang33guy]

Hey guys! So I ended up finally being able to put the KO head from eBay on the A1 body and results are in...I think it's amazing! Such an upgrade for very little money. Granted I did have to mod a tiny bit to get it to fit. As others have said the KO head is much much deeper than the stock head. And after thinking about it I came to the solution of using museum putty to fill void. So basically I removed the plug in the KO and placed it on the A1 body neck peg. Filled the space inside the head void with a ball of museum putty, packed it tight and then slowly twisted the head with putty onto the neck and voila works perfect! Here are some pics and a comparison:

Beautiful. It really looks the business. Well done.

So I followed the link you gave me and just arrived on Saturday. I like it. Much nicer than the shorter hairstyles that Whedon seems to be so fond of.

Thanks again

The custom head got a big gaping gap along the hairline though. Really throws off an otherwise good head scuplt.

Ahoy!
I recently bought this Avengers body/suit/boots from a seller on ebay and am curious if the body I have is stock.. Does the stock body have the rubber neck (lower neck articulation)? I though I recalled reading that there was no lower neck articulation on the original. Either way, I think it look great, just curious.
Cheers.

All business...

Her character is fun in the MCU, but my real affinity for the character comes from Waid's run on the BW comic. This is my preferred look.

I can't wait to pair her up with the diecast Mark VI.

Great pic but you gotta let them breathe a little...

...and I'm not talking about the troopers

LOL!! The zip-up is intentional -- it reminds me of some of Emma Peel's outfits from the old Avengers TV series.

She wasn't always zipped up to the neck in her catsuit, but that's the retro-spy look that sticks in my head.

How bad are the creases, do you have any pictures? I know creases don't look pretty, but don't they also happen on real clothing over time?

Mine has mild creases at the elbows, but given that's accurate to 1:1 clothing, it doesn't bother me.

***EDIT: Just realized I replied to a post from 2015. Whoops.

Gotta take care of the fly-aways, but her hair now alludes to the Waid comic run; happy with it. Futzing her hair was a nightmare and a humbling exercise in playing with dolls...LOL...good thing I had some experience with HT Chewbacca prior.

Nice pic's ZE_501, I also like the short hair on her, doing a comics custom version at the moment, but after doing some cleaning I've temporally lost her and a couple other customs I'm working on.

Lost during cleaning? Must've been one hell of a job...

Decided it was time to update my BW. Went with the GAC Toys headsculpt. Cut her hair a bit, will add gel later.

It's too pale for the Hot Toys body, but i really like it.

I know this figure is ancient news, but I picked her up from a fellow seller on the forum, and believe it or not, while she's my 21st Hot Toys figure, she's the first one that's NOT Iron Man. I'm really happy with her, even though most folks tend to like the AoU version more because of the more interesting suit design. I like that one as well, but The Avengers was peak Black Widow for me. I'm looking for a Scarlet Witch next!

Is this a KO of the Civil War BW sculpt?

 

[Ductapenguin]

Sorry for bumping an old thread (I'm fairly new to this hobby :c ), but I had a question regarding this particular widow and posing. I settled on for this figure has her arm/elbow joint articulated 90 degrees and positioned across her body and was wondering if, over time, that's going to damage the suit (or figure).

Am I better off just leaving her in a museum pose or am I over thinking this?

No worries for bumping this thread; to me this is the best headsculpt for Black Widow Hot Toys has done yet. So far over the past 5 years the suit has held up very well.
