The Avengers Black Widow was out-the-box stunning. There was little if any controversy over the likeness to Scarlet Johanson. With the Winter Soldier version the urge to place the preorder was directly and solely motivated by how great the NEW sculpt was. When the first post production shots of Her came out I knew right away they (Hot Toys) had dropped the ball. There's no way, NO WAY anybody can tell me that's the same paint apps (eye rendering, pigment and hue) as the preview photos, MAYBE just the same sculpt.... With this latest version "angles" and "shadows" have to be implemented to achieve what the Avengers version does effortlessly, and that my friends is a bummer at $200 some dollars. At any rate I feel there's no reason to have both unless your a completeist, which thankfully I'm not, I ONLY get what I like and I like plenty but this is a canceled preorder for me. I swear I tried to like it. And these last few photos above have been doctored...
200 some dollars? More like 170 some dollars, where did you pre order?
Sorry, someone kept nagging about unzipped sexy poses on the other general thread, this will be the last of this idea on this thread.
Damn, do I regret not Pre-Ordering this when I had the chance!
I'm REALLY hoping my Waitlist will come through, though I doubt it will.
If it doesn't, then I'm hoping I'll find someone who'll be interested in trading theirs for my Thor: TDW Light Armor Thor.
How goes it everyone! I pretty just stumbled upon this thread today, and haven't had a chance to read through all the posts yet. So I was wondering if anyone has had a problem w/ the shoulder armor peeling, or loose threads/poor stitching involving the grey border striping? I ask because; shortly after receiving my C.A.G.A Figure ( which I found to be pretty damn sweet) I started to pose the arms and the surface of the shoulders just seemed to peel away, an if that wasn't bad enough. The grey border virtually popped its stitching and began to detach from the figure. After using some paints, Fabri-Tac, and misc. hobbying skills. I eventually made the figure presentable.
In short, I guess I just want to know if anyone has had any similar problems? I think it's complete Bulls**t paying close to $300 for a figure and then have to fix it straight out the box . Lemme know what you think, keeper or convert to parts for sale?

I don't know but if I order from SS it is showing $219.90 shipped with pack out - where do you get it for $170
View attachment 121022I really don't know what people are seeing when they say this sculpt is awful. To me it looks just as good if not better than the Avengers version. And I'm not just saying that because I'm jealous, because I have the Avengers version too.
