Update: The Mara Fix 2.0
For folks looking for second alternative to replacing the less-than-flattering Mara Jade head sculpt, collectors might want to check out the new Inferno Cannon Black Widow figure from the Avengers Assemble line. Click on through for the results.
The Mara Jade Fix
From the moment the first final production photo hit the web, collectors were up in arms over the head sculpt for Mara Jade. Thankfully there is an extremely easy fix. I picked up a Marvel Universe Black Widow figure from Toys”R”Us today and with zero customization or altering, the head is a direct swap for Mara Jade. What is great about the head sculpt is that the hair is rubbery allowing for full range of neck movement and zero arm/shoulder binding. Click the image above for a closer look and be sure to comment on what you think.
Update: Here is a requested side-by-side comparison shot as well.

If you placed an order for one of those magnificent custom 3D printed cantina distilleries from Kodiak3d, watch your doorsteps as they are arriving. Mine was delivered on Saturday and it looks amazing. Click on through for an image of it with a few of Hasbro’s bar sections to get a sense of scale.
Custom Cantina Bar Update
For those interested in the 3D printed, custom Cantina Bar/Distillery we showcased yesterday, great news! It is now available to purchase through ShapeWays.com. The “Space Tavern Drink Dispenser” will arrive unfinished so you’ll have to finish the deco on your own (or commission someone to do it for you).
A huge thanks to Kodiak3d for making these available, I ordered mine and can’t wait to add it to my display!
