Recently , Square - Enix released tormentor for the latest entry in their Marvel line of Play Arts Kai figures — apretty damn rad Black Widow , and asignificantly less - rad Captain America . But now we can get an even expert look at the two in action … even though our initial impression seem to hold out .
Let ’s come out with the good though : Black Widow is still see kick - ass .
away from her Pistols and a knife , wide also come with a series of alternate hands , and a set of FX pieces — two to make it look like her Widow ’s bite gauntlets are firing of a rocket , and an electrified variant of one of her piffling shock grenades . The figure will be out in Japan in December , and will set you back 13,800 — or a walloping $ 110 . Is it just me or is the Marvel Licensing tax on these figures getting higher and higher ?
Still looks sound though . And amazingly cover up for a Play Arts Kai variant , in comparison toTetsuya Nomura ’s Cyber - Catwoman .
Meanwhile Captain Angles America still has enough sharp edges to bet like he was rendered in an early-00 ’s PC game , alas . Not even a better spirit can make this Cap look exciting to me .
Cap is also sparsely accessorised compared to Natasha — the alternate hands are there , but aside from that there ’s a peg to posture his Shield on his back , or a clasp for when the Shield is in his hands .
Like Widow , there ’s a major price encouragement though . Out in December with Black Widow , Cap will set you back an extra 1,000 yen with his 14,800 yen price rag — or about $ 120 .
Although Widow ends up being a nicer figure mainly because she ’s not a spiky mess , these two sort of continue to hammer home that the Marvel Variant ’s line is n’t doing anything particularly exciting with these characters to make it deserving it — even more so with the high-flown prices on a steady period of play Arts Kai figure . Hopefully at some point we ’ll start seeing some crazy estimation from this series .
