X Review: Avengers Assemble Black Widow

I’m still quite partial to the sculpt, articulation issues aside. It’s a good, solid representation of Black Widow. She’s feminine, she’s bad ass, and she’ll look good beating the shit out of you. This version of Natasha has a face that’s more ScarJo than cartoon, with some windblown red hair. It’s not bad. And, there’s no loss of detail between the movie version Black Widow and now.

Articulation is okay, though we’re still missing a torso joint or a waist swivel. It’s these tiny things that could have made a world of difference. Articulation issues aside, she poses fairly well. So, as before, you have her head, shoulders, elbows, wrists, ball hips, thigh swivel, double-knees, and the bad attempt at the rocker ankle. Unfortunately, she also is cursed with the ball hips that don’t allow for decent movement, so it’s a chore with posing. I said she posed WELL. I didn’t say she was EASY.
