Really...it's too big? Who told you that?



This is from a restoration project that I did last year. It was done on an SDCC Psylocke figure that was essentially reduced to fodder thanks to the previous owner doing a poor job in attempting to customize it. He ended up wiping off all of the paint on the original head in his attempts (which I was unable to salvage) and the knee joint was torn. I replaced the knee and left hand (which had also been broken off at the peg) and used Silk's head for a replacement. I didn't need to do any dremel work on Silk's head, and while the head fit a little loose, I was able to alleviate this by adding two or three tiny pieces of paper towel on the inside of the head. It doesn't fall off, and retains it's full articulation to boot.

As for using the old Elektra/Black Widow body, I'm sure that Psylocke if and when she is eventually released will be on one of the current female legend bodies, most likely the Silk/Barton frame, which is the most current body mold for Legends females. Hopefully though, they will be able to tweak the hips a bit though, as the articulation there is a bit limited, especially when you compare it to Mockingbird, who was able to do full splits...
