Time to take a time out in posting loose Marvel Legends Toys from Toybiz and Hasbro - this time I present to you Felicia Hardy
aka Black Cat. The daughter of a world-renowned cat burglar - that suffered from a traumatic event on his college freshman year
she trained herself in various fighting styles and acrobatics. Then she decided to take her fathers mantle as the Black Cat.
Known skills are Probability Manipulation, has grapnel hidden in her sleeves, expert martial artist and gymnast, an expert
burglar and has a superhuman sense of smell and night vision.
Details - Visually, this was much better than the old Black Cat figure in terms of molds and design. Pretty Accurate and has
a great mold in the body. Proportionally, the figure was sexy enough that it catched Black Cats sexy figure. The Fur on the boots
and the sleeves has a dash of blue streaks, same as the hair to emphasize the white parts. Before I forgot,
the grappling whip things was good though.
The Mask and the face suited each other
and looks better than the old one who looks a female wrestler. One thing I don't like though is the mold on the hair, it's
actually not bad but a few more hair on the side of her left face could be much better.
Articulation - So prior to ym previous post there are some toys who I like to call "Great Design, Bad Articulation". If you have
seen the SDCC Zatana and Moonstone - probably you'll remember this mold. It's actually the same except for the turning joints under
his arms so more likely you have an amazing Moonstone body with the useless Gamora arms. Articualation is a little bad since
flexibility are ditched.
Wants need to improved? - Although Hasbro brought such amazing figures, a little more detail on the hair are still in need.
As I said, this lacks a few more hair on the left side of her face. Articulation need to be enhanced too since she is the best example
of "WE NEED A FEMALE FIGURE WHO HAS THE FLEXIBILITY OF TOYBIZ IRON FIST!" well, could be a better phrase for an example.
Why choose this? - Well, the old Black Cat was poorly done that it'll make you say "Spiderman is sexier than this" and it makes
the old Scarlet Witch figure look good.
Yes, this is worth it although the BAF part is not. This series have one of those BAF's that were seldomly
praised - and everyone thought it was the Hulk. The Green Goblin BAF was never noticed since everyone has the perfect image
of the Green Goblin with Gliders not this demon inside figure. Well, overall this Black Cat although lacks movements and
poseability was one of the bestest female ML there is.
