Been working on this one for awhile. After being super disappointed with Hasbro's crappy AoU offerings, I decided to make my own. A lot of it is hacked off of their cheapy figure. Her dress was the challenging part. I didn't want to use a plastic skirt piece and lose articulation, and soft goods didn't look right. So after some experimenting, I used some scrap decal vinyl.

Parts:
Head: AoU Scarlet Witch
Torso: MU Jubilee with vinyl
Arms: MU Jubilee
Forearms: AoU Scarlett Witch
Legs: Some MU female
Feet: Lady Jaye
Coat: MU Jubilee modified

Fantastic work! I really wish we could have gotten an articulated figure like this.

That's really inspired.

I've been staring at my AoU Scarlet Witch for a while, wondering what I was going to do about her.

Now I have some thoughts.

How well do the joints take to the red paint? I went a different route with mine to avoid that, but if the paint holds up well, I prefer your choices over mine for those arms.

I also like how this really looks like it fits the MU aesthetic. Shameful that Hasbro mailed it in.

I have only moved the arms slightly to pose, but no problems so far. I found a really good red from Citadel that covered in one coat.
