Not my most ambitious work, but when LBCing gets you exactly the figure you want, who needs a lot of fancy technique? Aside from some part swapping between entirely compatible figures, the only customization I did was paint the jacket to match the sleeves.

Head: Custom cast and painted "Jill Valentine" from ebay
Torso, waist, & legs: Planet Green Valley
Arms: Boss Fight Studios Series Z "Female Zombie Fighter"
Hands: Planet Green Valley
Jacket: "Solo: A Star Wars Story" Qi'ra Force Link 2.0
Belt and leg gear: Planet Green Valley
Gun: Marauder GR

You can say that again. I got a little excited and broke out the credit card. Bought 4 directly from the creator. With shipping it worked out to $45/figure. If I wanted to permanently modify one of them for a custom, I'm not sure I could bring myself to do so.

Take some credit for your work. You picked the parts, which can make or break a custom. This turned out well.

Nothing wrong with a semi-LBC, especially when the results look this good! The Planet Green Valley figures are obviously very, very well done, but it's the jacket that we're all here to talk about, and it's awesome. The Q'ira jacket piece was a great choice: it's real-world enough to work, but interesting enough to give the figure some character that wouldn't be there with a standard bomber jacket. I've become obsessed over the years with playable, production-like customs, and this figure hits all the right notes in that regard. Really, really nice work.

Thanks all! Really happy with this one. I'm working on a more traditional version of Daina now and will be sharing her alongside her Oktober Guard comrades within the next week!

The Q'ira jacket was really a dream find. A great little accessory that was exactly what I was looking for on a figure that cost all of $5.
