As I said in my previous post, TWS version is my fave Nat coz of the hair, not the face. That's why I want the CW Widow with TWS hair. ^^ If TWS head was as good as the CW one, I'd just get one parted out and change it but it isn't. The CW head sculpt is perfect and I don't necessarily need TWS outfit coz the CW one doesn't look too different. I really just want the CW head with TWS hair.
Thank you! She's just so pretty, it's hard to take a bad pic.
- well, OK, for me, even tho luv my TWS widow and that sleek assassin look - well, this CW Widow - for me, she's the one. Just beautiful
. It's not like TWS is BAD (don't have any other to compare to) but IMO the CW sculpt has all those nuances that really capture a portrait. On top of that, a stellar paint job. She's gorgeous.
. Feel mildly stupid for not getting her earlier, but whatever. I feel like I'm lucky to have gotten her new at all at a *decent* price (like, not 300$+ OMG). . Some VERY quick cell shots as fast nods/"Bucky hacks" to the comic cover art WS "Journey to Asgardia" and "the Longest Winter". She's pretty much fresh out of the box here:
Really trying to imitate the comic art would be pricey$$$ and take a while....
Well, missed delivery yesterday but managed to get her in today
Guess that explains all those other BWs on the 'bay and what seems like a flood of KOs
Anyway, if my purpose was to have the last "classic" BW released (tho I kinda think for IW 2 there will be some sort of last hurrah and everyone will be in their "classic" looks more or less like Thor's hair will grow back) really, really, happy I got her

(LOL re Bucky I am not ripping off a whole sleeve from a 1/6 jacket for a quick cell shot)
Tho I think in the end, she'll be with the other Civil War figures. Hadn't planned really on trying to imitate cover art with my HTs, but I may get some printouts done.
Having TWS Widow too IMO makes for a nice set of looks. Re the similar outfits *shrug* for me there's enough differences while still having a "classic BW" look, so I'm good with it. No real issues - her batons in back will pop off, and gonna try some fabric softener sheets on the hair to tame any wisps, but IMO, HT did real good here.
! The fence is "real" or real metal but it's part of the Toys City rooftop diorama (here I was just playin' with IM) - 
IMO the effect is easy to re-create w. stuff from hardware and garden stores, and probably better (like the upper pipe being polystone is way too heavy). Plus you could do custom size for a Detolf and make it lighter. Looks great but I wouldn't pay full price (and I didn't got mine from Monkey Depot a while ago - this is still on Ebay tho).

but there are other higher ones you can get. (I just wanted her in something a BW fugitive could actually run away in if needed; e.g stilettos IMO are not PRACTICAL for this kitbash in-work) As I remember the boots were no problem but getting the TWS BW suit off was a nightmare.
fig as is - she seems to be in demand on the 'bay, I feel lucky I got her and she is perfect!
. But. I figure for display it's kinda iconic for the Widow. I don't have AOU Widow, so I am sourcing the batons but folks want too much IMO for the "effects" pieces. Anyway I think the blue batons will look cool.. Hafta give the BP character props LOL for just giving BW "a look" after she zapped him a couple of times. Great body language. Hmmm - I like my BP a lot and not sorry I got him, but hafta say getting a custom sculpt on him really elevated the fig$$$. For me he's like CW Bucky - great solid fig, but could be better with more accessories and other stuff - Bucky's pants need to be a bit longer so they don't pull out of the boots when posing and a less "generic" sculpt; IMO BP costume needs body padding to smooth the body ridges and more hands, and stuff like that.. Wouldn't even mind a second one but the prices are ridiculous and I'm scared of what may come with IW $$$$$
On the other hand so far I feel like CW Widow is a "perfect" purchase - completely happy with her
Just got in a Russian sniper rifle (Bucky) and an HK (Natasha, probably) and misc stuff but no time to work with them. For now, anyway.
great pics, you all! Also very interesting thoughts and intentions from everyone. I do have all 5 of the Ladies and i like each and every figure for it's own design. I mean just look at the progression, Hot Toys took over the years. That's really amazing! CW Natasha has the best likeness to me, but i also see a lot of ScarJo in the others, if just not perfect, though. 
blonde Black Widow Infinity War by Bumble Bee, auf Flickrwow, this thread is so alive!
As for the different , parted out head sculpts...if you get lucky, you can find IM2 for about $120 bucks, the A1 and WS about $90 and the AoU about $60 - 70, as this figure was sold in large amounts. That was also the reason, why i assumed, the CW head sculpt would take the same direction....i was wrong, big time ... i only watched about 2 asian sellers, parting the hs out about 5 times, or so. The heads always gone for $80 bucks or more ... so i snagged one for $80, but don't regret it. Will bash it sometime. Talking about bashing, i got this KO 5.0 with white blond , short hair and did a quick bash with stuff that was laying around. I prolly do another one, that could resemble BW in IW better
For sure, having it in hand - folks could absolutely build their own and get the same effect - and make it lighter too. I've thought about extending mine lengthwise across a board (like a train layout, kinda) using wall joint compound over styrofoam or wood to extend the base, painting, and adding more fencing and "roof junk". So the whole thing fits on a shelf and I can fit all the CW figs on it. Just think the gritty industrial look works really well with either TWS or CW figs.:: Amazing and I will probably steal some ideas from that... IMO its the little details and color like the arms and the hand wrap, and great face and glasses. Sexy in the right way, too.
