As a Black Widow fan, I was glad to see her get her own Build-a-Figure series to to into her movie, but, alas, we didn't really get any villains unique to her from the comics. I wanted to make Iron Maiden, but at the time (early 2021), there wasn't a good base body for her. Fast forward to the Age of Apocalypse Kitty Pryde figure's reveal and inspiration struck!

Head: Madame Masque head cast
Scarf: Jyn Erso
Body: AoA Kitty Pryde

I used a Dremel to shave down the joints on the body's upper torso and shoulders. I used Miliput to fill in the head a little. I then painted the upper arms and head silver. I then painted the eyes black with white pupils. For the scarf, I used a great Vallejo purple before coating it in Modpodge to prevent paint rubbing and flaking. To remove the flesh tone from the fingers, I used a paint brush restorer. Then I finally used a black Gundam Marker to fill in the segments of her costume to add detail to the sculpt. This was an easy, but incredibly fun custom to make. The figure isn't 100% accurate to the source material, but I have to say, it works for me, and I love how she looks.

Finally, I'd like to dedicate this figure to Iron Maiden's co-creator, George Perez; there will never be another creator like him, and I can't express what a joy it's been to read and see his work over the years. He's also one helluva nice guy. Thank you George, you're the best!
