Say what you want about the headsculpt. But I think this pic is epic and is just like her.
Also, seeing as you have ordered from Hong Kong, no brown shipper? That's what's stopping me at the minute ordering.
No brown shipper, no deal.

Can't wait for Sideshow to get her in! I really like her and can't wait to add her to the Black Widow collection.

@ £147 shipped, I couldn't really pass on her at the time.
- I have to say If I had waited, I can honestly say that this would have been a pass.
There's a lot of 'it's not that bad', but lets not beat around the bush, this IS a terrible release, most people are focusing on the weapons and suit and avoiding the elephant in the room sculpt
Of course I will reserve final judement until she is in hand, but for me it's just uber disappointing especially given the amount of time the character has been on the Big Screen.
This is the perfect example:
The differences are stark (no jokes please)
I actually could have lived with the hair, if they would have adjusted and corrected the dead scare carried over from the WS sculpt.
- Yes the promo is shopped, but it gives a perfect comparison to that cheeky ScarJo we know and love and Hot Toys 'interpretation'. There is some ScarJo in there, not much but she's there in certain poses and lighting, but there is no excuse for how badly Hot Toys have rendered this one.
This could and should have been the go-to ScarJo 1/6, in-stead i see her being used mainly for parts and customs.
You know, I think Hot Toys nailed Scarlett's actual facial features in the Winter Soldier sculpt--but the one problem with the head is that the relative size is wrong. The shape of the nose and eyes and mouth is perfect in my opinion (though I would have preferred the mouth be closed) but her face needs to be more rounded and cheeky. Basically if they shrunk her eyes, nose and mouth by about 10% each, or increased the size of her cheeks by 10%, I think the figure might just be perfect. As it stands the TWS Widow still looks great on my shelf and to me she looks like Scarlett--but a Scarlett who has been on a fasting diet, and therefore her cheeks look too gaunt.

Again, I'll just say that the Avengers BW is the best BW release so far.. accurate facial likeness, really great, movie-accurate hair style and all 
I do like the color on the AoU suit though, and the box is much cooler..
may have to track one down.

For those who have this already; how's the ankle articulation? I watched shartimus's review and it looks like there's actually a bit of poseability there this time around.
