As I am putting together my G.I. Joe team for a photonovel later in the year, I wanted what I thought was the best available Scarlett action figure. I really like the Resolute Scarlett because she looks more "military" and less "aerobics." Come on, the original Scarlett outfit almost has a "super hero" look to it with the leotard and spandex. However, the face of Resolute Scarlett is terrible. So, I used the face of Black Widow from the Avenger's line. I removed the hair from each figure. Put Scarlett's hair on the Black Widow head, and BAM! totally different look to the Scarlet Johansson face sculpt. Careful removing the hair from the Black Widow head. Use dry heat like a hair dryer, not boiling water. The face is totally painted, and the moist heat may cause the paint to peel.
I did have to totally customize the neck to make the Black Widow head work though. I actually used the end of a toy missle to make the neck. It was skinny enough to glue in at an angle so the head faces forward instead of looking down. It looks a little "different" from the side, but I don't think it takes away from the figure at all. Recipe: Head: Black Widow with Resolute Scarlett hair Body: Resolute Scarlett Knife: Retaliation Mouse I also removed the small knife from the Resolute body and added the knife from Mouse's body armor. Unfortunately, I somehow lost the knife. So I trimmed down the blade of another knife to fit the sheath, and trimmed the handle of the knife so as to no look like a machette. Again, I've also created my own custom file card. Jason Last edited by jlw515; 08-21-2016 at 07:27 PM.. |

I can't wait to see your photonovel/dio-story. You've got a great looking team so far.
