Marvel Legends Lady Deadpool

I picked up this Marvel Legends Lady Deadpool off Amazon. It was pretty cheap ($11), so I figured, why not? Plus, she looks pretty cool, and who doesn't want a female version of Deadpool?

This gal is part of the BAF Sauron wave. She comes with 2 katanas, an extra Headpool head, and the leg to build the Sauron figure. No guns or extra hands. Lady Deadpool (also known as Lady-D), is Wanda Wilson, from the alternate reality Earth-3010 in the comics. The Headpool head is from another universe where all the Marvel heroes were transformed into zombies, thus, his undead appearance. The figure sports a very long ponytail, and, other than being a different gender, is just another version of Deadpool. I think she's pretty cool.

The Headpool head can be put on the bodies of other Marvel Legends Deadpool figures, as well as Lady-D herself. It slightly fits onto my Mafex Deadpool, though it looks rather small. Still, it's a cute accessory, and I love the propeller hat, with a propeller that actually spins. There are good things about the figure, and not so good things.

The good stuff: Her design is simple but nice. The ponytail in particular adds a lot of character, she can be put into some good action poses, she can balance well on one foot once you get everything at the right angle, and her belt, shoulder harness and thigh harness' are removable, so you can pose her with or without them. You can slide the thigh harness' down her legs, you can remove the belt by popping off the figure at upper torso (or maybe try squeezing it through with her legs together), and her shoulder harness can be slid out when her arms are turned back.

The not-so-good: Her articulation is mostly good, though there are some areas where they really could've done better. Mainly, she lacks upper arm swivel and has single jointed elbows. Those are 2 things that could've helped to make her much more poseable. The upper torso that's on a ball joint could've benefitted from a wider range as well. The next issue are her hands, which are sculpted to hold her katanas. But they tend to fit quite loose, especially on the right hand. You really need to twist the katana to get it to stay in place, and it's so loose that it easily falls out. A tighter grip would've definitely helped. And finally, the figure has several paint scruffs and chips throughout, as you can see in the above photo. Nothing is too large or overly glaring, but once you notice them, you can't unsee them. Her ponytail is also sculpted into the head, so there's no articulation. It might've been nice if were able to plug into her head via a small peg, so you can turn it in different directions. That would've made it possible for her to come with an alternate head or two.

For the low price I paid, I would say this figure isn't too bad. I really like her look and the sculpt. It's just the lack of accessories, questionable omissions on her articulation, and those poorly gripping hands bring her down several notches. There are other Lady Deadpool figures you could get that you may prefer (I would love to see what Mafex could do with this character), but this version is still decent. My Wade figure now has his female counterpart to accompany him on adventures.
