As the Black Widow has a penchant for the spy game, I thought I would fashion her in a "James Bond" girl likeness. I pictured her kind of like Ursula Andress in her bathing suit and snorkel gear in "Dr. No". I used a Hasbro Elektra figure for the base, added the Black Widow upper torso and used the bare feet from a Shanna the She-Devil figure. The pony tail came from an "X-Men" movie Jean Grey. I made an alternate head and sculpted the short, slicked back hair for a wet look. Knife/sheath, and pistol holster are from the old fodder bin. The scuba mask and hoses come from a Plan-B Special Forces Navy Seal Diver, the harness from a "Tomb Raider 2 Cradle of Life Lara Croft (wetsuit) figure), and the air tank was kitbashed from fodder and spare parts. I tried to research some basic scuba gear sets and kind of used different features from different kinds of gear. I am hoping people notice the detail that I put into the air gauge on top of the tank. For those of you who do scuba dive and see something wrong or inaccurate with the gear I made, I will simply maintain that it is a highly secret experimental set! Anyways, I hope you like!

I've said it elsewhere, and I'll repeat it here. I love this figure. The execution is flawless. I don't particularly care for the larger scale, but so what! It looks great, awesome job my friend.

Sorry, this one's not for sale. The recipe for the custom is in the description and with the exception of perhaps the heads and the scuba gear, would be fairly easy to make yourself if you can find the base parts. Thanks for looking!
