Been looking through modern era Joe heads for a good option for Raven.
Unfortunately, it would seem Spirit v1 has hair closer to hers than any of the modern era female heads, lol. I'm not well versed in the 3.75" Marvel figures and was wondering whether there might be a better head option there. Here is a whole album of screencaps from that episode for reference purposes. |

Perhaps a Marvel Valkyrie figure? The hair is blonde but could be painted black. Although, that head sculpt might be too big for the Night Raven body.

Thanks, it's possible but yeah the Air Viper Commando v2 is a fairly slender figure design, which is good for a female build but can make head size tricky.
I had someone recommend a Jyn Erso black series head, just gotta add braids to it. That looks promising. |

Hmm, looking at HHFF's thread I'm wondering if a couple Stiletto braids attached to the Jyn Erso head might be the way to go.

I can't get their site to work right now, but Marauder has a twin-braided female head that comes in darker skin-tone which would work pretty well.

Can anyone think of a figure (from Marvel, Star Wars, etc) that would have an upturned collar (maybe part of a cloak or cape?) similar to the one on Raven has in the cartoon as pictured here?

You could cut down a Dr Strange cloak.

MU Star Lord can be had fairly cheap, and his collar would probably work.

Got a Jyn Erso figure in today and can confirm that probably won't work, her head is too small. Looks quite comical on the StratoViper torso though

Yep that looks mighty small on that body. A slender torso would help somewhat but maybe not enough. If you're still thinking you want the head modified to include two braids, then almost any head could be given hair parted in the middle with not much more work (using green stuff or similar).
Thanks, DerStahlhelm and Dake for the good ideas on the collar. |
