Post by: jdeleonardis on 13 October 2011, 12:58:44 PM

Another Reaper mini - no conversions, just painted to look like Superman.  Thanks for looking!

More nice work there. I think I need to give the reaper range a second look, there are clearly some models I've missed.

Nice work on old Supey there :) ...anyone would have thought that Reaper had designed him for that paint-scheme!

Reaper has some real superhero gems in their Chronoscope line...some naff ones as well...but there is a speedster that is truly awesome:

Excellent work - I would never of thought of that using that model (Blood Widow) as Spider-Woman!

Nice work again.

Don't recognise the source model for Black Widow, where is she from?

Of course Ed denies any nod and claims the  likeness is simply co-incidence! ;)

That's the mini he used for Spiderwoman, not the pistol-packing Black Widow - although confusingly, Reaper calls her Blood Widow.

Yeah, thats right - that link above is to the Blood Widow, not the Black Widow.  Confusing enough?

The figure I used for Black Widow is a Reaper figure as well.  Veronica Blaze, Agent of GUARD.  I found her in the Sci Fi range.

There's another reaper Chronoscope mini that can be used to represent Black Widow, "Natalia, female secret agent":

I've always thought that "Veronica Blaze, agent of GUARD", is more of a "Carol Danvers, agent of SHIELD" look-a-like.

I don't remember Black Widow being a gun bunny, though - didn't she use vambraces with some kind of built-in zap/dart weapon and a grappling hook/climbing rope shooter of some kind?  That was years and years ago, though, so maybe I'm running on outdated memories - don't think I've read a book with her in it since the Champions got their own title.

Anyone else notice the Reaper not-Iron Man has been watching Dragonball?  Thats a Kamehameha pose if I ever saw one.  :)
