Valkyrie is best known as a member of the Defenders (a team I enjoy for sure) but I was inspired to grab this figure as part of the first roster of Secret Avengers from Ed Brubaker's and Mike Deodato's initial run back in 2010. She's sometimes a Valkyrie of legend possessing a human with an estranged husband but sometimes not. Maybe? I haven't kept up with her current continuity. This is a serviceable figure but has the scrawniness problem many female action figures suffer from. Her sword also warped pretty easily during my recent move. I tried straightening it out with a modicum of success.

| Asgardians have surprisingly similar fashion sense to the Daleks. |

| The sword does kind of fit in her belt. |

| The mighty sword Dragonfang! |

| "I...have the...power!" |
 |
| "Take that Whirlwind!" |
 |
| Secret Avenger Pals! |

| I don't think these two are exactly in the same scale... |

Nice figure. New tagline though: Asgardians: Daleks in Disguise!
