Cross country skiing is great if you live in a small country.

Why would Victorian women have to be models in secret ?

Ok discussing the statue instead of attractiveness of the actress would be preferable.

You're not alone SONICobra. I agree with you on both fronts. I can kind of see Scarlet but It definitely isn't dead on and it's sure as hell not on the level of the Hot Toys figure. The actual Scarlet's face is tailored a little more toward her skull structure and her nose points upward. This statue has a very soft rounded face. Pretty sure, but not accurate to the actress.

Hot Toys is not 100% accurate either, there's been examples where their likeness has been off, some by a lot...

I don't think your ever going to get 100% likeness in any media. Although plastic dolls (action figures if you prefer), is probably easier to get a likeness to then polystone.

You're right, Hot Toys Black Widow likeness wasn't 100%, but it was closer by comparison. I'll give you this, This piece is far superior to the weird looking PF Sideshow made.

I don't think I'm much more a fan of hers than I am of, say, Danny DeVito. And her face is the same in every movie and every TV appearance, magazine cover, Internet pic, etc., but whatev. ^_^

Nothing. But that fight scene is just another thing that bothered me about her in Iron Man 2. Avengers did justice to the character. Black Widow's best scenes in Iron Man 2 are when she takes control of situations using dialog or something. Other than that she's basically there as a pinup. Although the back of the car costume change was cool...

You guys should check out some fashion magazines. Scarlett is in a new perfume ad or something. It's usually in the early pages. It's a profile shot similar to the OP photo. Then tell me how much this statue is close to Scarlett's likeness.

Yep her face looks identical in each picture, hair style, makeup, etc... make no difference, your right...







Hell if I didn't know better she COULD be Danny DeVito !!!!!

To be honest I personally like GG's likeness of Scarlett better than both the attemps by HT's to date:
