Winged characters are some of my absolute favorites. I'm not sure why. In Tactics Ogre, I load my army down with them. lol In figure form, I think they generally look even cooler. Even though I hated the head to my last Shayera Hol, I loved the figure. But, I still liked her traditional costume in JLU a lot more than the full yellow one. So, when I was going back to make another one, I knew which costume I was going for, and just had to find a head. After looking at the JLU release of this design I realized that Mara Jade was actually a great fit. The rest is both history and a massive desire to simply keep her for myself. lol
The design wasn't too difficult. I followed the same method as my previous Hawkgirl, making the path a lot smoother. I dremeled holes in her back and glued the wings in place. I dremeled into the head to make it sit lower, and it fit way better than the Psylocke head I used before did. The rest of the body was a straight repaint, only tricky due to using yellow and trying not to affect the hair at all. Overall, a fun project that I'm very happy with. Recipe: Body - MU Psylocke Mace - Vortious cast Wings - MU Angel (Vortious cast) Head - Star Wars Mara Jade
