I'm looking for a 3.75 asian woman for a Melinda May custom. I've got a Rise Of Cobra Paris Pursuit Baroness for the body and hair it's just the head I need. Anyone got any ideas what I could use?

I used a "Kumik S2girls_7" with a repaint job on face + "Custom Black Widow 1/6 Scale Jumpsuit for Hot Toys Kumik Female Body", both found on ebay.

Only problem is that Jubilee doesn't look sufficiently Asian, and Psylocke was done with the Jean Grey Phoenix head.

Why couldn't we have gotten a generic asian woman head like the Rise Of Cobra Unmasked Storm Shadow gave us for men? |

Went through EVERYTHING about a year ago mate. She is the CLOSEST East Asian head available in our scale. We looked at all lines even old ones and lesser known, had the help of 20+ people scouting.....
There are people out there that can shrink a head for you for a very reasonable price though. For like £14 they can take ANY head of a larger scale and shrink it down to 3.75" scale for you. And she looks proper when painted up and not in a photo blown up but in person she looks legit. Glassman Customs

Would be an expensive piece to chopshop, but since you are using Joe parts as is, the SDCC Kim Arashikage was pretty decent. Perhaps someone out there has a mold or blank of it?

The newer Bultar Swann is asian, and pretty close to Ming-na Wen |

I was also thinking SDCC Kim Arashikage, but she's something like in the 100$-range... she's like the Vision of GI Joe
If you could find someone who have one and could cast the head for you...

While I agree that the SDCC Kim Arashikage is a bit young looking, I do feel like it looks a helluva lot like May. My only gripe is that May parts her hair on the other side of her face. I too REALLY wish there was an A.O.S. 3.75 line. I really want all the characters, which is partly the reason why I haven't gone down the customizing route yet. I'm too lazy to create the entire shows current and some deceased line-up.

I was gonna say SDCC Jinx as well but she is pricey.

Perhaps a Rise of Cobra Dial Tone, or Agent Helix? I always felt that both both figures, Dial Tone especially, had a somewhat ambiguous Asian look to them if they could be touched up some by a steady hand. Dial Tone's price is also a bit steep, but the head sculpt is the same as Helix, and wouldn't require as much repainting as a RoC Helix..
