Scheduled for a November 2010 release is the IRON MAN 2 KUBRICKS from Medicom Toy (considering the movie premieres June in Japan) ~ featuring Iron Man Marks IV, V and VI, War Machine, Whiplash and (underwhelming) Natalie Rushman / Natasha Romanoff / "Black Widow". Priced at ¥980 per (approx US$11), I wonder what the chase figure would be (if there ever is one) ... a Nick Fury, perhaps? As you ponder the speculation ~ CLICK for a closer look at the figures on my TOYSREVIL-blog.
No sooner than teasers appear online [HERE], Hot Toys unleashes full-images and product details of their 1/6th-scaled BLACK WIDOW from The Iron Man 2 movie, featuring the likeness of Scarlet Johansson as "Natasha Romanoff / Natalie Rushman" (looking suspiciously like a "love-doll" here in these images, come-hither open-pout and all *cough*), as sculpted by Yulli and painted by JC. Hong
Tentatively scheduled for between an end-3rd quarter to early-4th quater 2010-release, the 1/6th scale Black Widow Limited Edition Collectible Figurine does indeed come with rooted hair (but alas no change of tight-fitting civilian clothes as per Natalie Rushman *cough-cough*).
