Pepper Potts as Rescue (Marvel Legends) Custom Action Figure
Custom #:51611
Name:Pepper Potts as Rescue
Custom Type:Action Figure
Toy Series:Marvel Legends
Creator:Kimota! Customs  
Date Added:July 9, 2013
Base Figure:Iron Patriot
Height:6.00 inches
Completion Time:30.00 hours
Body: Iron Patriot
Heads: Iron Patriot and a Power Girl head cast
sculpted chest plate and Arc reactor along with complete repaint.

I realized that if Hasbro was going to do it they would have given us one with the Iron Man Legends. I think it was a missed opportunity for them, but a good one for customizers.
I took the horrible Iron Patriot figure that I bought only to complete my Iron Monger and sculpted details onto it. First I redid the chest plate to accommodate Pepper's chest correctly. She is always drawn like most comic book females as being large in that area, so I made the armor reflect that.
Next, I added the Arc reactor to the chest plate.
The entire figure was primed black, and then dry brushed metallic chrome silver. Then I added washes and black dry brushing to give it a worn look.
I covered a lot of the areas in clear red paint, that allows the light to shine through that layer and reflect on the chrome color under it. It allows all of the armor to look metallic.
I searched around for a decent head. I wanted her to be good looking but not resemble an actor. This is a comic series figure but I didn't want to exclude movie fans either. So she doesn't quite look like Gwyneth Paltrow, but passes as a hybrid with the comic. Because of this I gave her strawberry blonde hair instead of the comic red or the movie blonde.
The two heads are interchangeable by pulling and popping on and off.
The Arc reactor, repulsors and eyes were all given a soft blue color to show that they are powered on but not active at that exact moment.

Thanks for looking!

I've seen one other person do a Rescue armor out of the Extremis Iron Man sculpt and I still think it's the only decent thing to do with that terrible figure.
I like how yours came out. nice chest sculpts and I really like the paints.
