where did you get that case?

I think I remember getting this case in 2003 at the craft store Michaels for I think it was $24.99. I haven't seen it in the store lately maybe because it doesn't sell or I didn't ask. I used them for displaying and protecting my Final Fantasy statues back then, but unfortunately brok two of the glasses while moving back then. Ebay have some by just typing in "display glass dome" and you will get quite a variety.

Black Widow is about half an inch from touching the top of the glass dome so I know that my Loki and BD MkVII is not going to fit inside it since they are taller than ScarJo. I am going to try Michaels again this weekend and ask around other stores that have stuff like this or I have to gamble on Ebay. :gah: Some craft store just got to have this or my final option to protect my 1/6 scale is ordering custom made cases. :gah:
 
I like it! :hi5: Nice work. You really defined the term " Preserving the true beauty " :wink1:

Thanks! :hi5: When I find things that I really like and it have certain materials that make it hard to clean the dust or anything else off of it I try to get a case. Lara Croft PF behind Black Widow is in a case because the difficulty I see in wiping dust off of her because of her cloth and because I love her. Black Widow needed the treatment because of her clothes and rubber like chest that dust can get into.

I really really love this 1/6 figure and think it could possibly be the best female figure unless Selina Kyle can give her some competition. Oh and my Tumbler had to be encased too because its black and we all know what a black car looks like when its full of dust. :lol

I agree, I liked Babydoll and thought it was a step up piece when I got her, but Widow surpasses BD in every way.

You know people got to stop worrying about Widow becoming dusty, the leather suit is perfect and if you get dust on her it's easy to wipe it off. If anything what I've noticed in my HT's collection that is a dust magnet is Ironman especially around the shoulders :slap
 
Seeing that picture of BW with an AK some post ago got me some ideas! Think I will go to Frank and Son collectable soon and go to the 1/6 scale vendors and browse through those military gun section. I will bring BW's hands to make sure they fit the trigger and handle portion before buying.

What should I get? I got some ideas for her russian blood:

AK-47 and variants. Straps would be nice
Draganuv sniper?

I am probably missing some other well know russian weapon that BW can hold or is the AK-47 only the well known russian gun for her?

It'd be kinda cool to get her an SKS or a Mosin. Old school Russian rifles.....!!!

You talking about this shot I did



I actually got a full assortment of pistols, rifles, shot guns, grenades, smoke bombs, knives, etc that I've collected over the years with BBI, Cygirls, SS, Ht's, Dragon, etc that go well with her. I recommend any type of military 1/6 scale weapons will work with her so happy hunting :lecture

When posed right, I still think HT's has captured Scar's proportions with this figure.

Your pose and battle damage effects look really awesome here. :rock

Thanks it's a real pain to get the lighting right to show off the dirt stains across her face . Because I wanted to give her look the beaten down look
from the film, originally I thought it was just blood she had on her face, but I noticed from the Blu ray, that she had some dirt smeared in patches across her face but very subtle. :lecture

The problem I'm having is the hair has gotten out of control and it's frustrating.

I feel that if she's going to be battle damaged she should look it. I was trying to get the intensity I got with Batman


So I can have them side by side

I tried a little bit with water on my fingers tips for now. Here is my BW and her glass dome case!




I am going to continue fixing her hair later until I get it the best I can.

The dome is a really nice touch! Too bad there aren' bigger domes for her team mates!
 
That's a nice pose LittleBahamu!!

Remind me to never shop with Goodshipped again.
Despite having some in stock he refused to send me one that I paid for on 5th Jan because that sale was from 'second batch' which is delayed.
No need for me to point out what's up with that.

So I just orderded a new one which should be here by weekend.

I think this is the longest I have ever had to wait for a Hot Toy.

Since you waited so long...and were patient...you should get a reward or bonus or extra discount...right????
 
There are a few left on Ebay....they seem to go quick...I think a lot of people that aren't getting LOKI want the Staffs...

I was one of those people. No interest in Loki, but like the scepters. Either put them in Widow's hands or just displaying them by themselves. They are a really cool conversation topic for those who enjoyed the movie.

I should get one from his currant stock and not the stock he is still waiting on.

The stock he has in hand right now he is selling for more money but the one I got is evidentially from the cheaper selling stock which he has not received yet.

Have you ever heard such a load of BS??!
 
Anoyone who orderd from uk sites think they will have her this month or is it likely to be delayed again?

I ordered from a great seller here on the forum back when she was announced for preorder.
And i heard tonight she is on her way finally(Yay!). She will have a place next to the Three Caps, Fury and Tony until the MKVII gets here.
But i *also* hedged my bets and ordered one from FP a while back.
I have never heard anything from FP.
But if i do, i'll let you know.
