I think the reason so many people gravitate to the Warbird buck is because it has the best proportions. the Wasp torso is "bottom heavy" being a little too Hip-y, Ashley Barton has the opposite problem where she's almost top heavy, and the Silk body has weird musculature on the lower torso, which isn't as noticeable depending on the paint job (it really stands out on Phoenix). I've swapped the upper torso of the Warbird buck onto the lower torso of the Wasp buck and it gives a more balanced hourglass. Over all they need to overhaul the basic female buck in the line.
I always assumed that people used the Warbird body because of the obvious reasons...it's the easiest to customize (in the sense that Warbird's costume is nearly identical to Psylocke's, so you can leave it black or simply paint within the lines...it even comes with her belt...) and that it came with the added articulation on the bicep, which Warbird has, but other figures do not.

Pretty good points on the subtle differences between the body types on the female Legends, some of which I hadn't noticed before (which I was more intuitive on as opposed to analytical about when observing them.) I will often part swap when making customs, but the one part I absolutely hate to swap is that torso piece, because at least in my experiences, once you take it off, it's nearly impossible to get it back on (and stay) the way it was, not to mention I've destroyed a couple of them just trying to get them apart, no matter how much heat I use. I just don't chance it anymore.

Speaking of swapping parts, I need to find a better fit for Betsy's hands, as she has a really hard time gripping DP's sword...otherwise I could have done a bit more with these shots...


"HUBBA HUBBA...."



"Whoa...whoa...ladies...erm...settle down...uhh...can we talk about this!?!"



"uh...okay...okay...I'm sorry! I mean, we're friends...right? Uhhmm....peace offering!?!"



"Oh Wade...you always did know how to put a smile on a lady's face..."

"Yeah baby...you know it!!! All the ladies love Dea...."

**!!SHLOCK!!**



"And remember guys...Don't be an ***hole....Friends are best!!!"
