You know, the size of the head makes the orig MU female buck (Ms Marvel, Sue Storm) can make it look bigger or smaller. Like Kitty Pryde has a large head, so she looks shorter, whereas the Black Widow has a smaller head, so she looks taller and slimmer.
So what you need is a large head on that body, then just move her away from the other MU females to fudge the proportions.

Well, thanks. I had ruled out that jacket because the collar is so exaggerated, but then I pulled up some reference images (always a good idea):

So I think Mutt (left) is probably better than Indy (right, imagine painted black).

Obviously I need sleeves, but what do you think, community?

Now with more correct colors:

I plan to use a MJ for a more comic JJ, she's pretty much the only Pre-AvX New Avenger I'm missing, then it's a ROTS Luke/Leia with brown skin for little Danielle.

I really wish i saw this before i bought them. i found the 20% off one, but with this i could have saved 4 extra dollars.

Did you just recently buy them? You could ask for a price adjust or buy them again and return the other ones that you bought.

bmorr · 12-02-2015, 05:41 PM

nah. im not going through the hassle for 4 dollars

glad to just have them off my radar.

When I first saw that kitbash I thought the head was way too small. That chick really does have a tiny head in real life lol

I was really inspired by all of the great Jessica Jones/Killgrave customs on the last few pages. Here's my kitbash Jessica.

kylactus · 12-02-2015, 11:06 PM

that's perfect fox! what's the recipe?

Psycho Pirate · 12-03-2015, 12:21 AM

Baroness upper body, Renegades Scarlet legs, and Aurora head. Brilliant!

You are bloody invaluable, you know that?

I always get sad when I see the DoA figures, though. I've opened three blind boxes from that series and they were all white-costume Kasumi.

Some great Jessica Jones customs and ideas guys - Im thinking of using a Marion Ravenwood for mine, thoughts?

Agreed, although too bad TRU can't get these new waves fast enough they're currently having a sale 30% off all Marvel figures right now.

I wonder if there is possibly a blue that is close enough so part of the pants with the baroness torso could be painted to match the Scarlett legs?
