With all of the Marvel Legends Black Widow figures I still wasn't happy with any of them completely. They all had some good elements to them, so I decided to make an amalgam of them to create a more athletic looking Black Widow. Recipe: The upper torso and forearms are from the retro BW; the head, stingers, weapons, and belt are from the Deadly Origin BW; Rider series BW hands; lower torso and hips are from the TRU comic Shuri Black Panther; jacket and upper arms are from the retro Dazzler; and the legs are from the Target 3 pack Ms Marvel.

I did have to dremel the outer diameter of the Ms Marvel thighs down some to match up to the Shuri hips. After that I painted everything a semi-gloss black to make all the color uniform, and finally I applied a wash to the jacket.
