Nevermind then, sorry. :) I got a bit distracted by the "surprise" that Wolverine's claws... are exactly like the minifig Wolverine's claws. Ah, okay. Nevermind then, sorry. :)

And my wife! The beauty of the LEGO games is how accessible and playable they are for everyone. But their has to be Wasp. My daughter really, really needs to play Wasp.

Not at all unique to Black Widow. They look a bit odd at first if you aren't used to them, but they would look very clunky if they could only move in the games as plastic ones can. If you do a google image search for "lego harry potter video game" you can see lots of very 'bendy' versions of Harry. (Apologies for not linking to one, but the best examples seem to have autoplay videos on the websites themselves, better to just look at them through google.) [And they are TLG artists making the videos games, not people who are unfamiliar with how lego works.] That’s how minifigs always bend & move in the lego video games, though.

Dear artist: bricks do not bend that way! If a real minifig tried to emulate this image, she'd snap in half. The pose they drew Black Widow in is ridiculous. Dear artist: bricks do not bend that way!
