25th Cover Girl by RedEyes

[RedEyes]

I've had this done for a little while now. So I'm glad to finally get her posted. The 1st pic has the 25th Scarlett head and the 2nd is the ROC head. I can't tell which one I like better for her. What do you guys think?

Also, thanks to Mandingo Rex for the Hawk arms!

UPDATE*

Ok, here's Cover Girl with 25th Scarlett head and ROC Scarlett's hair. Kinda digging this one.

And this one is for Scoop. I really like the face on Pilot Scarlett, but her hair is too short and not removable. Maybe I'll shave it off, cause the face looks great for Cover Girl, imo.

Nice!

[Mandingo Rex]

By the way, I need the arms back :)

I like the ROC head, and I'm going to basically do the same combo you did, more or less. Same head and all. I've got all the parts, just trying (with no luck) to find a DTC jacket.

Great job.

Like better the 25th Scarlett head..Nice job by the way!

[Scoop]

I was digging this custom the other day when I was at your apartment. That is when you only were using the 25th Scarlett head. I think that head works with everything. I'm really not digging the ROC head. It looks pretty ugly, but hey that's not your fault.

The only problem would be if you were to display her right next to the 25th Scarlett, then it would just look like Scarlett with another uniform.

If you have the Pilot Scarlett figure I would like to see that head on this Cover Girl body. I think that head looks a bit like the ARAH Cover Girl.

You could also use the ROC Cover Girl head and paint her hair. I have also seen some people use the 25th Scarlett head with the 25th Baroness hair from the first Cobra 5-pack. That looked pretty sweet.

As for now though I liked your first version the best.

By the way great paint job. You are getting real good at this.

Nice!

Thanks!

Haha...yeah I'm leaning towards the ROC head also, just cause the hair looks better to me, but her expression kinda sucks. Maybe I'll take the hair off and put it on the 25th head. If you can't find the DTC jacket, you can use the Indiana Jones jacket like I did.

Thanks Jack.....I hear ya on that. I'm definitely gonna mess around with different hair/heads to get the best look I possibly can.

To be honest, both heads have their merits and demerits. The 25th is indeed beautiful and has a female smart & devious mixed with menacing look, albeit in a "cartoon" feel sort of way. The ROC, on the other hand, is more realistic, beautiful as well, though she has a somewhat dazed/drugged out look.

I guess it's up to you what kind of look you would go for. I'm sort of leaning to the the 25th, because of her expression.

[arashikage tat]

very nice...I'm diggin it

[xhairs]

nice i like the 2nd head better. nice job.

[The Batman]

The expression in the ROC head looks like she's trying to get over a hangover! The Scarlett head looks very nice, but we all know it's Scarlett. Very nice custom though. I would love to make a 25th Cover Girl. The one Hasblow is trying to pass off on us in ROC just isn't cutting it for me.

Yeah man, It's a hard decision for me. I like both alot. But I think I'm gonna mess around with more hair/head combos.

very nice...I'm diggin it

Thanks!

lol....I was going to try and use the ROC Cover Girl head as well. But it just looks stupid. They didn't nail her likeness at all. I think they nailed Duke, Ripcord and Hawk perfectly. But for some reason the woman of ROC just look off.

[Tankster]

swap the hair off of the ROC scarlett and put it on the 25th scarlett and that would be perfect!!!

I like the ROC head personally, if the expression on her face bothers you, you might try giving her lips a bit of color. That's one of the problems with the ROC Cover Girl head, the factory paint app missed her upper lip, with darker eyebrows and different lipstick ROC cover girl isn't quite as bad as she is right out of the package.

Quick question about the Hawk arms/Indiana Jones jacket. Do the colors match or do you need to paint them to match?

[Spigou]

Great job! I prefer the second head as well. Perhaps a blonde variant? That ROC hair sculpt does make a good MASS Device Cover Girl nod.
Anyways, looks good already! Keep 'em comin' dude!

Hmm, didn't notice that. Thanks for the tip.

I painted the jacket just a little lighter to match the arms. More like highlighted it to blend better.

[State Trooper]

Amazing work!

[RedEyes]

^thanks man!

UPDATE on 1st page. Added more pics with different heads/hair.

[Mandingo Rex]

Ya know, Covergirl in the cartoon had really short hair, and so did her old toy... Barely more than a bob cut.

Why do we always make her with long hair? I was planning on it, too, but I'm watching the "Best of" DVD right now, and I'm wondering about using the upcoming lady-Dialtone from the desert pack (it's the same head as Helix)?

I've seen others use Deena Shan's head, from the SW line, but her face looks absolutely dopey. Worse than ROC Scarlett's face, which otherwise I consider a great sculpt.

Just some thinkin'. And I agree, the ROC hair on the Scarlett head looks great. I'll have to do that, I have a spare Scarlett head from that god-awful CP, so at least the paint is slightly different than the 5-pack head.

To me, the 5-pack head looks so cartoony now, but more anime, than the old Joe toon.

I was thinking the same thing about the length of hair. I don't know what it is, but an ex-model having long hair just seems to fit. The OG figure, had a pony tail, which is why I used the 25th Scarlett hair. But I just kept thinking, it's needs to be longer and down around her face. Idk, I think I'm gonna stick with the ROC hair on the 25th Head. I suppose it give's her a nice updated look. I think she'll fit in just fine with the rest of my 25th collection.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to your Cover Girl.
Btw, did you use that Weasel head for any customs yet?

[Tankster]

much better my man like the hair and head swap!!

Damned if I didn't stop that Air-Tight custom to redo it... I still have the head, not sure what I'll use it for... I'm thinking Arctic Wild Weasel or Snow Weasel or something...

I'm going to use the removable Resolute Duke (future Charbroil) helmet for my Airtight custom... Keep an eye out for it, I'm starting the base coats and still need the vintage gear off eBay, but he's closer to being done than before.

[Deftones1982]

Love customs. My compliments to all who make these figures. Hasbro can really use creative minds like you people.

Ah, ok. A Arctic Weasel would be pretty sweet.

I'll make sure to look out for that. I have the Resolute Duke Helmet from the 5 pack. I was thinking about doing a Resolute Airtight. I feel like Air Tight needs to be updated a bit.

[RedEyes]

much better my man like the hair and head swap!!

Thanks man...I'm feeling it too. I got her up with my 25th stuff and fits in perfect!

[h4Ry0]

looks very nice, great work!!
