The Black Widow movie (which is now available to Disney+ subscribers for free instead of forcing you to cough up an extra AU$40 for it) was surprisingly fun for a story delving into the Black Widow’s dark past as an assassin. That fun came primarily from Natasha’s little sister Yelena, played by Florence Pugh, whose sarcasm and pocket enthusiasm won over audiences immediately. I’m certain at least a few of those audience members can’t wait at the chance to pay hundreds for this typically outstanding 12-inch action figure of Yelena from Hot Toys.
Vested Interest
Cloth action figures clothes are notoriously hard to do, but Hot Toys figured it out years ago. Here, Yelena’s green vest “zips up” with the magic of magnets.

Staff Meeting
And here’s the two straightened half-staffs. to be clear: Yelena comes with one full-length staff, these two batons, and two curved batons, for five accessories total.
Hot Pockets
Strong pocket game.

The Right Tools for the Job
Other than her various weapons, Yelena here comes with 10 extra hands, the usual posing stand, and a pilot headset so she can shout dry, yet hilarious quips at her older sister. You can pre-order her here for $US270 (AU$367) from Sideshow Toys, but it’ll be a full year at least before she arrives at your door.
