Hey everyone. I got to working on a custom modern costume Wasp (Janet) and I thought I'd share what I have done so far. It's a pretty simple custom to do, an Agent Helix head on a female body type, I used Mystique for it since there was one at my local Target. I still have to clean up the yellow paint apps some, shorten her neck, and add the wings, but it's shaping up well. Enjoy!

Which megaman figure is that? I've been looking for one that is somewhat in scale with the mu line. My goal is to bring marvel vs capcom

That's the Kotobukiya model kit version. It's not really inscale with the Marvel Universe line as it's an inch or so taller than the 3.75 scale.

What are you going to use for wings? My Wasp has been stalled on account of no good wings

I'm going to use the smaller wings on the Marvel Legends Wasp figure, modded to fit the figure. They're just about the right scale for her full wings.

Looks great so far but if I could offer a slight critique...
I'd shorten the neck some- it looks too long with that head. You could mabye drill the inside of the head more or really sand the heck out of the MU ball peg. I ahd to do that when swapping the head on the modern Captain Britan- the Joe head I selected sat too tall on that neck. |

That's definitely a long neck there and I've been sanding it down some for a more natural look.
I plan to add some ball joints to the wings instead of using a screw to attach them so this is taking a bit longer for the completed figure than I planned, but it's coming along nicely. |

Neck aside, that's a hell of a job on the yellow! Very sharp detail.
