What do you mean? Was thinking of buying that Shockwave- are there issues with it?

He is a good toy. But he is basically a Voyager TF with pointless accessories in order to Jack up the price.

This head sculpt is so good WHY isthis not on the general release Black Widow head?!?

the pics for that one look so genericand then Hasbro reveals this beauty. Dare I hope that those early pics do not reflect the actual product and the whole line will look this good?

The head sculpt is good looking, I hope they did the same for the new black widow wave...her sisters head sculpt does not look that great.

I'm not that crazy about a Black Widow figure but this package as a whole looks interesting. I really do like the blast effects, especially the way they plug into the stand, speaking of that stand it does look a bit odd, but do like that it's included.

I didnt think I needed another black widow figure but that one looks sweet!

IDK if I should find it a bit disturbing how focused some of you seemed to be on the breasts of a female action figure or not, but in all honesty the only one who should have any real problem if Hasbro has understated that area is Scarlett Johansson herself and if she is cool with it then I don't see it being a big deal.

Yes, but don't you agree its about accuracy? Scarlett might not see the problem, but then she didn't see the problem of casting her as the lead for Ghost in the Shell either, so I'm not sure I can go with her judgement here. This isn't objectification; many of us have ranted on this same forum about Hasbro not giving Captain America his wings or making the Torch's head yellow. Cant speak for anyone else but I'm not saying I refuse to buy this figure or that its trash, just because its not totally accurate, butI am saying ,If you're making a figure that's supposed to look likea particular thing/person, the figure should look that way.

I don't collect MCU figs based on actors myself but if I did, I'd want a accurate figure of the actor/ actress it's based on & if that actress has 38Ds, why would it offend anyone that the figure represent that?

I didn't say it would. In fact,I didn't say anything about anyone being offended. I said that many women will read discussion about the inadequacies of thebreasts on a Black Widow figure (etc.), correctly realize that it would take a fair amount ofobjectifying Ms. Johansson to know the size of her chest, andtake that as a legitimate warning sign that this is not a community welcoming to women. The end.

You don't have to understand any of that, but by not tolerating theperspective, you're choosing to be exclusionary. Women constantly report feeling shut out of hobbies like this for exactly this sort of thing,if you ask them about it (without skepticism or bad-faith prefacing). Not all women, of course. Some putup with it, and some just have different experiences and a different perspective, but the vast majority of women put up with garbage every single day, and make decisions every day to avoidhaving to put up with more of it, even at the expense of things they otherwise think they'd enjoy. Isyour right todiscusstoy boobies more important than not contributing to that?

Right?! Come on. The package looks almost worth the money when you see that the special effects and stand are included....but the figure itself is kinda blah, compared to what I would hope it would be. Im not expecting either the comic or MCU version of the Widow to come out like the Rogue action figure, but I would hope at least as much love could be thrown her way. While I think this is an improved figure over the Agent 13 that came out a while back, its still not knocking it out of the park for me. I will say though, its a smart idea to give a repaint a little extra incentive to buy, and these effects may do just that for some customers.

Oh, such a good eye! I believe they were still using that Agent 13 body (I hate it) ...

I don't buy movie figures, so i will get the (obscure) BAF in second hand

Not a "slippery slope" at all. It's just people voicing their opinions on how they think the fig shoulda looked. I don't collect MCU figs based on actors myself but if I did, I'd want a accurate figure of the actor/ actress it's based on & if that actress has 38Ds, why would it offend anyone that the figure represent that?

I'd say debating whether the figure captures that vibe is reasonable, and doesn't automatically merit the suggestion that collectorsposting about itare pervs.

I don't thinkcollectors lookinglike pervs is really the issue. It's more about this board looking like a boys' club. People can feel any way they want about the breasts on an action figure, but when they discuss it on a forum, especially when it's literally their only feedback about thefigure,and it's complaining about those breasts' inadequacy, it's going to inspire a visceral reaction inmany women that this is a place they're not welcome. It's a difficult concept for most men to relate to, and even more difficult for most white men, because there isn't an analogue that applies broadly, but women put up with a lot of objectification day-in and day-out and the last thing most of them want to do with their free time is spend it somewhere that shows warning signs of doing the same. I understand that the comments here were in reference to a toy, which literally is an object, but I don't think it's unfair to recognize those commentsas a slippery slope, and many women do.
