working on the head right now. just trying to figure the best female face for her. Body is easy. Can take a kitty pryde for her sleeved look, or do some frankensteining with the arms of a Mary Jane(Which would involve me getting the Mary Jane). Last I need to figure out what would make a great armor body. if Ic an find some kind of large see through figure I can hollow it out.

Very ambitious, going no paint.

The outer armor migjt be a pain in the ass.if you are determined to go with hollowing out other figutes.

That being said, look into some Ben10 or Redakai figures as candidates. Often they are translucent and most have that undetailed, simplistic shape that her armor has.

Although if you think it through I don't think you will be able to retain much articulation but a simple shell might look okay if it is formed in some type of action pose.

My recommendation is to simply heat form some parts using the thin clear packaging bubbles figures come in. Time consuming but, probably much better results.

I'll be in my shop Monday, I'll whip together her armor's arm so you can see what I'm talking about.
