This action figure set just took away Black Widow's motorcycle moment in the Avengers Age of Ultron

Remember the awesome scene in Avengers: Age of Ultron where Black Widow and her motorcycle are launched from the Avengers Quinjet? 

Well, now you can re-create that great movie moment with your very own action figure set. The Avengers Age of Ultron Cycle Blast Quinjet. There's just one small problem:

That's right, that's Captain America on the motorcycle, not Black Widow.

AFB gives this set, and the continued absence of Black Widow merchandise from the new film, a giant fail.
