Hey Tankers!
I've been wanting a modern Dial Tone figure, but the RoC release was pretty lack luster. So I decided to update the character on my own since I couldn't foresee Hasbro giving us one anytime soon. I hit somewhere inbetween the new IDW continuity and Resolute. Let me know what you think. This is the first custom I've painted more then 50% of, so be gentle. Parts are pretty obvious: -Head/Torso/Arms/Computer: RoC Dial Tone -Legs: Helix -Belt: City Strike Snake Eyes -Gun/Butt Pack: Bravo Team figure Feedback is appreciated. Thanks for checking it out!

The neck is a little long, but all in all, she looks great!

Beautiful paint job, but that neck still annoys the piss out of me. I know a way to shorten it, but I need to find the right tools.

Nice fig... Though I have to agree, the neck is a tad long...
Quote:
I just cut off the neck peg as close as possible to the shoulders... I then sanded the cut end of the neck peg until I reached the desired length, then super glued it back on... Then, if you don't have green stuff or white plastic toy sealant thingy, then just glob more super glue onto the crack, sand down when dry, and repeat, until you have a smooth neck... Worked pretty well for me...

It has been dug by me (I digged it). Great color scheme and paint apps. You can solve the neck issue by simply dremeling the socket a bit deeper if you want to avoid choping the neck and re-attaching it and having to sculpt. So much trouble.
Dude, just buy a dremel.

Thanks for the feed back guys. I feel like alot of people neglect female dial tone figures for obvious reasons, so thanks!
And I need to get a dremel.
