The figure in the picture has a different outfit on, not the armor.

Hot Toys have released photo's
..to be honest, i really don't know. Her head looks quite large. I think i prefer Hot Toys previous Black Widow effort more.

(some video caps)

The portrait appears to work more from the left side than the right side.
It would have been good if Hot Toys had sculpted the hair, as real hair is pain in the butt.

SJ + Hot Toys Black Widow side by side

First thoughts. Black roots are absent. Eye's could use more blue / green
Hair style possibly too rounded, polished. Head sculpt might look better slightly narrower.
Hot Toys could have improved the outfit, if they had dropped the large silver zipper, as
it is not such an obvious feature of the original.
Moving further down, looking at Black Widows legs, they appear to be on the thin side.

Based on the images shown so far, i rate Black Widow 7/10
From what has been shown so far in the Infinity War line, the other characters look better.

The bottom line is, Black Widow Infinity War fails to be between the eyes, like Hot Toys Princes Liea Hoth, to name one example of Hot Toys on form

They definitely need to address the hair color and style. Plus change the zipper to a dark green or black color so it doesn’t stand out.

Hot Toys does improve products after revealing them. The question is, will they improve this one?

I think Hot Toys usually does a superb job on their head sculpts but this one just doesn't look like ScarJo at all.

Hot Toys dropped the ball on this one. I think ScarJo looks great for the new film, but the rooted hair, saturated makeup, and lazy attempt at the vest kill the figure for me.

She looks like they straight up sculpted Kate McKinnon as Black Widow. Hot Toys is beyond reproach with most male sculpts but fumble females with some frequency IMHO. TDKR Catwoman, Gamora and the JL Wonder Woman are the only ones I can think of that impressed me.

Princess Leia Hoth is rather impressive.

It does appear that the female sculptors at Hot Toys perform better when it comes to male portraits.
The previous Black Widow (Civil War) from Hot Toys remains the closest to SJ

I was taking a close look at Black Widow's batons, and there appears to be 1 or 2 more sections on the Hot Toys batons.

The cheap Barbie hair and vest are soooo awful. They need some serious tweaks.

This might be even worse than the AoU Widow figure.
