Hasbro has really made a lot of fans happy with their new Marvel Studios: The First Ten Years line. Similar to the DC Multiverse Signature line, Hasbro is making figures from the earliest MCU movies. This is giving collectors a lot of the characters that have been sorely missing from their collections for years. My favorite inclusion in this line is undoubtedly Jaimie Alexander as Sif. This character is special because she is one of the elite few who has appeared in both film and television. We know the universes overlap, but we rarely actually see it. I was upset that she didn't appear in Thor: Ragnarok but later interviews have indicated it was a scheduling conflict and not a case of a character being brushed under the rug. I really hope we see her again. And if not, I hope she at least gets absorbed into the Wonder Woman cinematic universe. She just has a great warrior vibe. This figure has a phenomenal face scan and armor details. My only gripe is her small scale (pics down at the bottom). Let's check out Sif below!

Marvel Legends - Warrior Goddess SIF!
This is the figure that thrilled me the most when the A-Force box set was revealed back in February. Before Jane Foster Thor, Thor Girl, and Storm as the Goddess of Thunder, Sif was the Asgardian Warrior I wanted to see take center stage more than any other. She's received a fair amount of attention from her appearances in the Thor movies, and although I like that they retained the general color scheme (and Jaimie Alexander is awesome), I always think a good Norse warrior needs a headdress of some sort - specifically the "winged headpiece" type worn by Thor and She-Ra. I also really loved Sif's bright red and white color scheme with her stark black hair. So, yeah, I've been waiting for this figure for years. You can always trust that a classic comic style figure is on the horizon when the character appears in a movie. It may take six years, but it will eventually happen if you're patient. Now we just need a proper movie version. (It's surprising we're getting a Valkyrie first). Let's check out Sif below!

Funko Pop! - LADY SIF!
Asgard is quickly filling up with powerful females. Between the new female Thor and his long lost sister Angela getting their own solo titles in the last month, I was afraid that Sif would get lost in the shuffle. Luckily her roles in both Thor films as well as numerous animated endeavours has cemented her role in the Marvel Universe. Her own solo series in 2013 (under the Journey Into Mystery banner) was fantastic and I thought it was a shame it ended so abruptly. Despite her mainstream fame, I didn't expect any more merchandising for the character after her 2010-2012 surge of popularity. I even created a Character Spotlight post for her when I assumed my Sif collection was complete. This Funko Pop figure was a welcome surprise though. It's interesting also because this is my first bobblehead Pop. I've noticed that some Pops have stationary heads and some bobble, but this was my first time seeing one in person. Let's check out Lady Sif in detail below!

Character Spotlight on LADY SIF!
Lady Sif was first introduced in a 1964 issue of Journey Into Mystery as a love interest of Thor. To my eyes, she never quite fit the image of the golden-haired Norse Goddess she is named after, but I actually just learned that early on, Loki had cut off her blonde hair and replaced it with black enchanted hair made by the dwarves. I'm glad for this because a third blonde Asgardian (Valkyrie & Enchantress being the first two) would be a tad too much. The 2011 Marvel film, Thor, featured Jaimie Alexander as Sif and really gave her a huge popularity boost. Although the role in the film failed to highlight her feisty personality, she still came across as tough and formidable. Since that movie, there's been an explosion of merchandise dedicated to this character. Before the first movie figure in 2010, there was nothing. But now I have a small collection of Sif toys, with many in her classic look (which I love). Hopefully we'll see more Sif love when Thor: The Dark World comes out. I have hope. Let's check out her figures so far!
