Planning on making a toon accurate Karai figure

IamtheKnight · 12-22-2008, 02:11 PM

Hey All! I'm planing on making a toon accurate Karai figure. What figures should I use for this? I was thinking of "cutting" off her head and putting it on the 2003 foot soldier's body. Or will a foot tech ninja be better? I can use some help here.

Try and track down a Lady Deathstrike figure by Toy Biz, it's close to Karai's toon uniform. Foot Soldier probably isn't the best base figure for Karai, too muscular for her tiny head.

Who is Lady Deathstrike? Do you mean lady deathstroke? Is she a marvel figure or a dc figure?

"Oops! Marvel Database does not have a page with this exact name." That doesn't help. Is this figure easy to find at comic book stores?

Click it again. URLs have weird parsing when it comes to parenthesis.

What would I use for arms?

I never thought of it before, but I have to agree that Lady Deathstrike would make a great base custom for Karai. As for arms, just steal a pair from a more "normal" ML character, like Mystique.

can't I just use Karai's arms from her shredder outfit and just sand off the spikes?

Depends on which Deathstrike you use. If you use the Marvel Legends one, her arms will end up really effing small. I'm sure there's one based on the 90's cartoon, though, that is more to scale with the 2K3 Karai.

I used the old 5" Lady Deathstrike body for my Karai, the head Playmates released was pretty much a perfect fit!

Recipe and pic is on this page:

I remember that Karai you made, but I forgot that it was made with a Deathstrike. That is indeed a good fit!
