Figures Retro Scarlett (very minor tweak)

nighthawk · 01-14-2021, 03:08 PM

So, I finally got the Retro Scarlett.

I really like this figure, but hate how she's always looking down. If I put the quiver on her back, she looks down even more cause of the pony tail.

I wanted her to have some arrow storage, but the 25th Scarlett's belt is too tight to fit on the new Scarlett. (I think it was too tight for the 25th Scarlett already...haha)

I moddified a Lady J belt to include the quiver of arrows from the 25th Scarlett belt and put it on her. Now she has some storage, and as a bonus, she has a pistol now too.

That’s a smart tweak!

Thanks. Really wish they did something about her neck or the head so that it didn't always look down. Shouldn't have been too hard given that they sculpted a new head.

I think you can shave off the back of her head socket to allow her to look up more. Someone posted it in here when she initially came out.

Nice idea, especially giving her a sidearm.
