Presuming that there was minimal chance it’d be an official Marvel Legends, I decided to finally customize my own red & gold Polaris. I wanted to convey that she was drawn more chiseled in her X-Factor days. I went looking for a base body whose arms, chest, & thighs were cast in flesh tone plastic in addition to having significant muscular definition. My original plans fell through, by I improvised with a Wrestlemania Chyna.
I swapped in a head from Sand Saref I had left over. I kept Chyna’s mane. The forelock is leftover from when I made Scarlet Witch into Speedy. The laces, tongues, seams, & upper rims of her short boots were Dremelled off. Her armbands were made from industrial grade rubber bands from Peruvian asparagus. Her glove cuffs, boot tops, & garter are clear rubber bands. I also used these to slightly raise her decolletage so the negative space is more comics accurate. Her fingers were sliced apart & glued into position. Her belt is the included championship belt trimmed slightly with its center insert replaced with a cardboard belt buckle & the oval plates reversed. The coils on her belt are thin clear plastic ties. I didn’t glue the garter strap to the garter so I could remove the belt. Her non-mask is impasto. Lots more photos on my WordPress blog, linked in my signature!
