Up next is Blackbeard's daughter, the fierce pirate, Angelica!
I loved the look of this figure, but was really underwhelmed by Jakks' offering. Like Blackbeard I kept the torso and effects, but swapped the arms and legs. Hot glue again for the arms. The lower torso was transplanted from an MU figure, but to fit I had to do some carving into the torso. Hot glue here again to retain waist articulation. Some repainting later and I've got a new Angelica. Here's a comparison pic with Jakks'. Recipe: Head, torso, accessories - Jakks Angelica Arms - Indiana Jones Marion Ravenwood Hips, upper legs - MU Spiderwoman Knees, lower legs - ROC Scarlett Thanks for looking!

I wasn't sure if the heats were removable on these. I might be tempted to pick up Angelica just to reuse the head! Great job with your upgrades! All three of these Pirates figures look amazing!

Thanks folks!
Topnotch - so far all the MU ladies have been the same (with the exception of 90's Jean) so any of them would work. Cracking the midtorso to separate the hips was a pain, though. YMMV Tracker - thanks man. I was really trying to make these mods as seamless as possible, especially Angelica since I really did like the sculpt.

Nicely done...! Nice and clean, despite the fact that the bits came from different toy lines...
I love all your On Stranger Tides customs... Question though - can the heads fit on 25th style figs?

Thanks zep. I haven't really experimented with all the heads and 25th figures yet. I can check when I get home from work and let you know definitively, but I believe the heads can fit on 25th figure. Depending on the neck post , though, they may require some modding.
