Normally I’m all about a good likeness in a head sculpt, but in this case, its…um. Yeah. I mean, on the one hand, holy crap AWESOME. And on the other, wow, the head is just several different kinds of unfortunate. And towering over both hands is the fact that, accurate as it is, the doll figure’s head still looks a billion times better than Mickey Rourke’s real-life head.
And then there’s the ScarJo/Black Widow figure who fails the “if I saw the doll naked in a yard sale, would I recognize it as the actor” test. About the only part they captured is her magical mouth-breathing abilities, so of course, they try to compare it to the .005 seconds of her life that she has her goddamn mouth closed. *facepalm*
I kind of want it, though. Hot, kick-ass redhead is right up my alley, no matter how overrated and obnoxious the actress is. And the fact that it doesn’t really look her actually helps in this case. But if Hot Toys’ Silk Spectre II was any indication, Black Widow’s gonna be a wallet-raper.
I really, really hope mwctoys.com reviews her when she comes out. It’ll probably be the closest I ever come to seeing her in person.
