Post subject:  Mara Jade (full custom)
I posted my 'fix' for the Comic Pack Mara a bit ago, but I still wasn't completely happy with the figure. Mara's my favorite Star Wars EU character, so I wanted to get this one right. I'm pretty happy with the results. I based the custom mainly on this costume design http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Image:Ma ... _NEGTC.jpg and http://images.wikia.com/starwars/images ... rifice.jpg . The custom is super articulated and fully poseable. The hardest part was dremelling down the Baroness legs to get the pattern on her pants right.

Mara Jade
Head: Covergirl v2 w/ bombstrike neck modified w/ neckball
Torso: Bombstrike
Waist: Covergirl v2
Legs: VvV Baroness (heavily modified)

Hands: Comic pack Mara Jade figure
Belt: VvV Jinx skirt trimmed down

my eyes played tricks on me and I thought it said "full costume"


I am sorely disappointed.

Looks fantastic. I am intrigued by your use of the Luke arms. How easily did they fit the Joe torso?

They required surprisingly little trimming. At least for that torso. Getting them off of the Luke figure was the hard part.

I would never have recognized those as Luke's or any other guys arms. They look really well proportioned for Mara Jade - will the rest of the Expanded Universe be getting this treatment? It'd be pretty cool to see!

Very cool. I wish Star Wars figures had that much articulation to begin with.

looks great, but the scarf and goggles give her "noneckitis". I'd love to see it without them.

Looks cool! I just recently got that Comic Pack and while I love the figure, she is just waaaay too short! Great choice on the arms, I never would have thought of it!

Here you go. Not the best pic, I know, but it least it shows that she DOES have a neck. It's carved off of the comic pack figure and then attached to the neck-ball of a bombstrike.

that is one killer custom- nothing to critique.
