Custom Type:Action Figure
Toy Series:Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Creator:zelu1984  
Date Added:April 2, 2017
Base Figure:Marvel Legend - Wasp
Height:6.00 inches
Completion Time:6.00 hours

Critiques:Requested!
My S.H. Figuarts Turtles felt alone and since Bandai is taking their time with this line I decided to make a custom classic April.

I used Wasp as a base due to her nose but I ended up customizing even that :) I completely re sculpted her face to make it more April accurate and sculpted new hair. This is not going to be her final body as painting yellow on top of black base figure is not easy so once I get my Hell Cat I will be making her a new body and accessories.

I tried to capture April's likeness in this figure but even between episodes she looks a bit different.

Let me know what you think folks?

Edit: I little update to the accessories ;)

Jumping right out the t.v., bro. Clea. I do suggest adding a little spacing between the moving parts to eliminate paint rub.

Thanks buddy! I'm waiting for the Hell Cat figure to arrive and I will be remaking her suit to avoid that

Looks gorgeous and probably better than a real official figure might turn out. Although if official one looks this good I will be happy cos I could buy one.

Actually does look better than the official NECA figure (with it's stupid big head). This is way nicer.

What did you use to prevent the paint from rubbing off? (painting with yellow is the worst!)

I used a Rogue base figure which had yellow joints at her knees, thighs and waist and torso areas. That helped to minimize yellow paint rub. I agree with you about painting yellow. Your Hellcat idea will work very well for April O'Neil.

I'm checking with one of my mates who does casting if he can help. The problem is I'm in UK and he is in US so not sure if the cost will be worth it.
