LADY JAYE
Build:
Upper Body, upper arms, hands,head, webgear: 50th Lady Jaye
Legs, javelin: 25th Lady Jaye v1
Lower arms (modified): ?? (either Renegades Duke or POC Jungle Duke)
Paints: Testors Schokoladenbraun (Dark Brown); Vallejo Lime Green
Notes:
When doing updates to Flint, I also took a harder look at my shelf Lady Jaye as well. Hasbro’s 50th versions had been occupying my main Joe shelf since it was released. After some comparisons with other versions and some test shots with my updated Flint, I decided on below as my final version:

It was a close call on the final legs. Ultimately I went back to the 25th LJ legs because I felt the 50th legs to just too squat and short. They probably look fine when the figure is posed/photo’d alone but don’t look as great when figure is posed with other females, or even males whose legs aren’t as bulky.
The arms with either set of legs looked a little short in length, so I went with the skinniest longer ones in my fodder and shaved/sanded them down for a smoother look. I also did a little shaving at the collar to get them to look less gravity defiant.
Side by side with 50th version (and failed face fix):

With the part swaps above, the green and flesh need to be repainted. For initial photos I went with Testors Green Zinc Chromate—one of the lighter (but not too light) greens I had on hand. Later I bought and repainted with Vallejo Lime Green—a closer hue to the original vintage figure. Even later I bought AK Real Colors US Interior Yellow Green RC262, but did not want to repaint the figure (too many layers at that point, and didn’t want to strip all the primer/color/finish already applied), but this AK Real Color is probably the best match to the 50th figure if a toned down green is preferred.
When this 2-pack went on clearance, I bought 2 extra packs and chose the best painted head for my final. I tried to touch up the eyes and repainted the hairline—especially around the checks to get a better cheekbone profile for front view photos. I filled the head socket with a little clay to adjust the head height (I probably do this on 75% of all my figures, and forget to indicate so).
Concept to Release to Redo:
