A Rather Simple Movie Figure Fix That Goes A Long Way

Sniper33 · 04-02-2007, 11:42 PM

pretty good job you did there, paint matches up pretty nicely with their paint. Didnt even notice about her legs before, but now that i see, she's wearing low tops tennis shoes

awsome job you should just paint the rest of her legs to look like the image.
I've been doing the same thing with some of my figures fixing them to either fit the comics or toon.

I couldn't help it and caved, haha. I'm happy with her, I think she looks a lot better and she looks a lot better fitting in next to her brothers now too since they were more or less perfect.

Though, while I was painting it, I have a feeling Playmates actually missed painting the lower half of her legs. Because the top where it ends, is the boot cuff and then below it is the textured knee pad wrapping around it. So it looks like that to me. The shoes are still accurate. The paint was matched best I could to her head dress/shoulder pads color plus I added clear sealer. So lips, chest and finished off the boots. Anyway, look ok?

(its a bit darker than it actually is due to the flash)

That looks completely awesome. Great work.

Here's the group shot! Paint isn't exact when comparing, but its good enough I guess, better than before I think. Added the same color to her wrist/arm blades/guards so they'd match better. She's all done.
