Marvel Legends - Infinite Series - Part 4 - Black Widow

Part 4 of our ML Infinite Series is Natasha Romanoff also known as the Russian spy Black Widow - the most hard to find figure in the series. As we all know, in every series there is always this one figure who are always harder to find - not because they are exclusive. When I interviewed one of the seller in a random shop who were selling this for a way high price she said to me that whenever their shipment arrives in every package there is only one Black Widow Inside - probably one of the reason. Another reason is maybe a lot of people are scalping this figure. But is there any more reason why a lot of collectors are being caught of this figure? Let's see.

So, basically - we have Black Widow inside the package, an extra head with curly short hair and 2 more interchangeable hands. We also have Mandroids upper right cannon and torso making it the key part in building Mandroid.

First, let's answer the question what universe did this Black Widow came from? Based from her appearance this short-curly head came from the first The Avengers Movie with Scarlett Johansson as the actress. Well if you are tracking it right, her first appearance is not The Avengers Movie but in Iron Man 2 with her long-curly hair - I wonder why they didn't create a head for those?. It's perfectly clear the figure does look a lot like Scarlett - we can include this why most people are actually interested in getting the figure - fanboys tee hee.

Then using the second head - we clearly see the Black Widow in Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Lets proceed with the figure itself - I must admit I haven't seen all ML Figures especially the SDCC ones but I can say that this is one of the bestest sculpt there is when it comes in the female category. I always remember how bad Scarlet Witch, Emma Frost and X-23 looks and how I wish they re-issue them with this kind of sculpt. Details are about 90% accurate and body proportion were good.

Articulation aint that good though, The Ab-chest connection do move but fails over in the waist but it's ok since if it does move it won't look good. And the lack of accessory is really heartbreaking, and those pistols in her sides doesn't even come off. Again, Is it worth getting? Yes, a great addition in your collection specially if your a Scarlet Johansson Fan. But if you prefer the classics don't get it since she looks more like a Movie Figure rather than an ML Figure or rather get her and change the head from the old one. If you're building Mandroid, Yes she is a must - again she has the key part the Torso
