As of right now, I'm still trying to make the most out of the older Toy Biz and early Hasbro female figures for fodder. I'm just now getting into molding and casting parts though, so hopefully I can start reproducing some of the updated and newer parts as needed. PITA though...

I agree completely! Looking back, I thought it was a pain paying $25 for the Elektra/Ronin 2-packs for female bodies to customize. At least with those, they were easy to find, and I at least got a Ronin for spare parts (along with a TON of weapons). With these, not only is it painful paying that price for a single figure, but I'd also feel a twinge of guilt for making it so that there is one less hard-to-find figure on the market.
Lately, I've been buying plenty of clearance Hope Summers, at Target, and I guess they'll have to make due for my future customs
