Nice rack...er pic. Think I'll give ol' BW's jumpsuit a little futzing later. <insert pervy emoticon here>

What stand did you use with widow's high kick?

 

[warrior sigma]

how the heck did you get her to hold the kick? mine keeps bouncing back

 

[chewdeezy]

Is IM2 Widow bigger than TA Widow?

 

[Mix Master]

black widow looks derpy in the last picture

 

[Viking Spawn]

Loving the photos! And BW looks hot!

 

[JorReno]

I still like the IM2 head sculpt better.

 

[Snakey Jones]

IM2 head sculpt gives me the heebie jeebies.

 

[carbo-fation]

BW isn't chubby enough. She needs more padding.

I just used an old 'Elite Force' stand to prop her up, nothing else, the leg stayed there just fine for the photos... though I wouldn't want to leave it like that for too long!

Is IM2 Widow bigger than TA Widow?

Yep, quite a bit bigger!

I still like the IM2 head sculpt better.

Horses for courses, but to my eyes the new sculpt is far superior!

I still think its a great looking figure... but once you stand the new one next to her, you just end up seeing the flaws!

Plus the newly developed body used since the Sucker Punch gals makes posing her a whole world away from the previous one.

There actually nothing really new on the bodies since the first release of the new body type with BW1. Even the double elbow joint of BW2 is a throw back to previous TTF.... apart from the elbows nothing really new in terms of articulation. What maybe better lately is HT getting better matching the rubber torso to the character of the particular female figure. Almost each new female figure has a new torso cast... not particulary as generic as the male variants.... but HT also has been more prone to customising their male figure's bodies as well.
BW2's better articulation (apart fr. elbows) is due entirely to better suit material.

Well the older fem figs were far less flexible at the hip and the knees were also lacking a good joint (not to mention the ankles). Heres my old breakdown- https://www.mwctoys.com/REVIEW_101510b.htm

Then there was the improved aesthetic but horrible articulation on figures like the RE Sheva here https://www.mwctoys.com/REVIEW_012910b.htm

Things have honestly improved a lot since the Sucker Punch girls came out.

There no doubt the old TTF bodies were bad in articulation....

However girls released since BW1 (and including BW were basically the new TTF body type). Most of the ankles are still the single ball joint (used since the old TTF) or the split-ball.

Some of the notable first in new TTF development by HT.
1. First the new TTF body: IM2: BW
2. First to use split-ball ankles: RE5: Jill Battle suit
3. First to use stronger metal screw secured elbow and ankle joints: POTC4: Angelica
4. First to use a smaller body format (mostly just shorter lower legs): Babydoll
5. First to use double jointed elbows: BW 2

Future:
Probably first to use seemless elbow and ankles: RE4: Ada Wong

Every torso and lower torso have variants with every release, so that's many firsts on those 2 aspects, internal skeleton varies very little, I suppose... except neck posts have variable length as well.
