This is a figure that I made back in August of 2010. I posted it on my blog, but for some reason, I never got around to showing it off here. The recent unveiling of the very similar Sparta figure has finally prompted me to share!
Parts: Head (cast of DTC Comic Pack Cover Girl), Entire Body (RoC TRU Dial-Tone), Arms & Jacket (X-Men: Origins Wolverine). The hardest part of this figure was tracking down the arms and jacket. It seems that I waited too long to pick up the Indiana Jones figure I had planned on using and ended up hunting the clearance aisles for a worthy substitute. Once I had the arms and jacket from the Wolverine figure, the rest was pretty simple. I cracked the torso and replaced the arms. The pegs on the original hands did not fit the new arms, so I ended up filling the holes with a bit of Super Sculpey and then pushing the hand pegs into the sockets. Once in, I boiled the arms in water to cure the Sculpey. The jacket was trimmed at the waist so that it fell at the appropriate height on her torso. The head was a cast of the original, so it had to be Dremeled out to fit the neck post. The paint scheme was based on that of the ARAH Cover Girl v1 figure. After painting, she was given a light application of Testors Dull-Cote. Last edited by Sgt Humpty; 08-29-2012 at 02:56 PM.. |

Where did you get the cast of the head? I haven't seen that one for sale.

Yeah, I figured since she's been wearing that jacket since 1983 it would be a bit faded - LOL! Thank you - I appreciate the feedback! |
