This might be my favorite ML of the year. The faces on this are so good. A perfect combination of the sculpt being fantastic and the photo real paint application being well done.ย

You guys got your preorders filled? WTF Target?ย  Just checked & mine says backordered...ย  This is the info I miss out on without the Fwoosh.ย  Guess I need to start looking for her.ย 

I had 2 Widows pre-ordered & they were both filled, but I'm still waiting on the red jumpsuit henchman

Never have seen Black Widow in an actual store, but I had 2 of them pre-ordered and received both of them. Great figure with excellent articulation and a butt load of accessories.

I found several of the Track Suit Mafia figures at my local Target though. They actually went on sale and I picked up 2 of them for $19.99 each.

I Pre ordered BW but when Pop Finder showed her available in store I canceled my Pre orders and just picked it up at the store.

My Target pre-order for Black Widow was fulfilled a week or two ago - just got around to opening her yesterday. Easy top 10 of the year material. So excited to open up a figure and have new articulation to play around with, poses to hit, details to appreciate, heads and hands to try, etc. Almost night and day from opening some of the more basic releases that come on the same body we've gotten over and over. Excellent figure!

I would take almost any woman they'd be willing to give us on this body. Hoping Mystique is toward the front of the line.

Yeah I'm ready for plenty of updates to come with this same articulation scheme. Honestly, I'd like to see this setup become the standard for any new body they introduce going forward.

I'm just happy to finally have a female figure with ab crunch, now they can start rereleasing all the ones from the past with it and in half-pinless bodies, to be re-released later.ย  I'm stuck on the backorder train like everyone else.ย  So glad I preordered her.ย  You can never have enough extra redhead heads for extra looks when you're an X-Men collector.

Never saw her at my local Targets, but my pre-order came through a few weeks back, and I was pretty impressed by everything but the classic Romita headsculpt (unfortunately).ย

I liked the custom head I did with the MJ hair and Dead Origins BW head. Switched out the belt with a black/red logo.

Love it! If she had her classic full black chest, she would be perfect to me.

I got my pre-orders fulfilled, but I also found her in a local store.ย  I think she's all sold out locally though.

The rough thing is that Target's online inventory tracking is just completely hosed now.ย  Items show up through either Popfindr or Target's own web site as being there, but when you ask an employee and they check their local system--which has always shown different results than the web-based systems--and they're showing zero in stock.ย  For a few days every local Target was showing 6 to 10 in stock, but then one day they all flipped to 0 even though I had seen her in a store on a day that Popfindr was showing none anywhere in the area.ย  I'm seeing the exact same thing with other recent figures like the Star Wars Black series Target-exclusive Cad Bane/Cobb Vanth 2-pack and the exclusive Mattel Hammond Collection Brachiosaurus.ย  Just saw three brachs in a store yesterday while target.com is showing him as sold out with none in any local stores.

Target's inventory control has sucked for a year now, but every month it just seems to be getting worse and worse in new and terrible ways.ย  🤨ย

I have had no trouble finding at local Targets. I got mine over a month ago. Such a fantastic figure. Oh and YAY the forums are back up and running!!

My issue with reuse of this torso is the sculpted fabric wrinkles and zipper. That's not going to apply universally. It's actually a minor gripe I have with the Widow figure, because it doesn't even match her smooth limbs. So I think this particular torso will get limited reuse, which is a shame. They could have just done the lower torso from the diaphragm down with none of that fabric and zipper sculpt and it then could have been reused forever. But that ain't gonna work as well on characters like Elektra, Psylocke, who could really benefit from the lower ab crunch.

That sucks big time, it saved a lot of driving/fuel/frustration for me and Iโ€™m assuming everyone else

Any word on this or Ant Man or Tracksuit Mafia hitting Canada? Seems odd that TRU would order Yondu but pass on Black Widow, Ant Man and a troop builder.
