Finally scored this today. I was initially contemplating getting it when it first came out, but was too late and found it sold out at most places. Alex’s review on the figure tempted me even more.

Hot Toys have announced their latest figure from the Iron Man 2 line, Black Widow. And it’s looking mighty fine. I’m liking the head sculpt as well as the hair. Gonna be pre-ordering this together with War Machine and Iron Man Mark IV.

I’ve been collecting the Marvel Universe line recently. Though the figures maybe small, their sculpts and paint jobs are detailed. The line has come up with some gems. The pic above shows my latest scores in the past couple of weeks. Sneaked Iron Man 2′s War Machine in there as well. Great figure that.
