It's been a long time since a figure/statue has been featured here, mostly because I lost interest in collecting them. I still occassionally stumble upon new items such this stunning Kotobukiya bishoujo-style statue of Black Widow. I never thought much of Black Widow's original leotard with a collar and this bishoujo version thankfully does away with said collar (as does the newer BW comics), but maintains the armlets. The belt really puts this outfit over the top. The whole look is just so balanced. After doing some minor research, the visual ques of this statue appear inspired by the 2001 Marvel Knights books (feel free to correct me).
The statue comes out this July for $59.99 although you can get a discount for pre-ordering at NCSX or TFAW among other places. In case you were wondering, Rogue is the only other character in the Marvel bishoujo statue series so far. It's not in the same league as the BW figure though. As cool as Black Widow is, it's unlikely I'll buy the statue. It just feels like that part of my collecting fever has passed.
