After spending years in the WIP box of shame, I can finally cross The Major off my bucket list.

I had a straightforward plan when I started this custom; sculpt everything! Of course, as a newbie I got scared and quickly shoved it into storage, never to be seen again...until now!

The major sticking point was the hair, it had to be sculpted from scratch and I was unwilling try it until yesterday when I saw this poor bald figure as I was tossing out junk. I think it looks okay, and regret not finishing it sooner so I could have had it on display all this time.

Nowadays I would use a more recent body, the Cammy fig has odd proportions but it works for anime characters, who are odd anyway.

Little detail you can't see: all the silver spots actually look like screws, I simply pressed a small flat head into them.

Hope you enjoy this blast from the past.

I'm relisting this fig on ebay for the last time, after that I'll just trade her for a can of soup or something.

what's funny is I have a set that I'm dying to do something with. how much are you asking for it? do you only post eBay? PM me, I'm not looking to buy, but I might be able to help you move it if you're still stuck with it. it's a beautiful figure with a great look. I always hated the over-sexualized 80's one-piece. naked and uncaring because she's a cyborg and the flesh is illusory anyway, or armored and read to Eff Ess up.

It sold a while ago, I only got like 20 bucks for it lol

I need to make another one using modern figures, should be interesting to see this suit of hers with Marvel proportions, maybe on a Silk body

Thankssss, yeah, I like how well it's held up over the years. The paint still looks as good and is as durable as the first day.

Only problem is the hips are loose, so I wrapped string around the joint to stiffen them up.

I'm considering selling it, but I'd have to add tags describing what's up with it, like selling an old car lol
