Thank you guys. It feels so good to finally have her...and I'm appreciative of warm words!

@Veronica Mars: I'm not a huge fan of the body either, but as I was recently trying to build a new Psylocke custom to replace the last one I did, I just couldn't find one that really FELT like Psylocke to me as I was messing with the body types. My original custom used the Wasp body mold, but there was something about the body that felt off when I had the finished product. I thought of going the Ms. Marvel/Warbird route like most people do, but I feel like that body is too muscular (as in a "buff" way) and I've always thought of Psylocke as being lean and trim, while not necessarily being physically imposing like a body builder. I started a project on the new Silk body, but about halfway through it, I ended up scrapping it, because I HATE the hip articulation on that figure.

I ended up scouring eBay, trying to find a decent custom or loose Psylocke, but the hunger among collectors and scalpers alike has been growing, as her prices loose have jumped to the near 250 dollar range, while a good custom fetches usually just below that, all the while with people actually dropping that to get her. That's when I happened upon this poor broken down figure (I really wish I took before shots, but I was just so excited to get to work on it that I forgot to, although I still have the faceless head...lol) As strange looking as that old Elektra/Widow mold could be, it's still passable, had the body shape I was looking for, and it does have better hip articulation than the current female Legends along with the unique jika-tabi styled feet. After picking up the body, I just wanted to restore her as best as I could. I feel like I got a steal, as the fodder parts that I fixed her up with was just stuff I had lying around, meaning that I essentially got an SDCC Psylocke for just under 40 bucks. (Kiss my grits eBay scalpers!)

I've thought of switching out Cindy's hair with the hair from the original Betsy to bring it even closer to the original, but I'm unsure of the fit, and Cindy's is visually similar anyways, so I'm still undecided if I want to alter the figure any further.

I'll be grabbing Clay's katana, psychic katana, and psy-dagger in the very near future!
