It does.

I regret never pre_ordering XM Studios Magik when i had the chance.
Fact is, i never got the chance, as my finances at the time would not allow.

Thanos on Throne comes up on ebay far more regularly than Magik.

That was a good idea. These are two fantastic statues. Are you leaving them unpacked now?

The pair work well displayed together.
Yes.
At some point they will be displayed as part of a Street Fighter / games statue display

Black Widow (zipper gave way during battle version)
1/4 Scale by - Valkik Toys
No. One of One

Product details:
Character - Resin material (hollow).
Base - PLA plastic.
Hand-made product.
Hand-painted resin.

Some time ago this 1/4 scale Black Widow showed up on ebay.
At the time i was searching the term 'Black Widow'.
Looking at the sellers photo's, and looking beyond the obvious topless nature of the piece, my focus was on the paint app.
Instantly i could tell the paint app was not on the same level as say Prime 1, XM, Sideshow etc.
At the same time, i had admiration of the obvious love care and attention that had gone into the piece.
I added the piece to my ebay watch list.

Sometime later, the seller came back with an offer, that was accepted.
After spending a number of weeks sailing the ocean between Chile and the UK, the piece arrived in good shape. A single strand of hair had snapped off in transit - which was an easy fix.

It feels like an honor to own a unique piece, a one off.
Compared to my other 1/4 pieces, Black Widow feels light in weight.
The hand-painted kit has a lot of charm going for it.
The statue included a 'modesty strip' that can be fitted in place to cover Black Widow's left nipple.
