 Post subject: Chick Showdown Part 2! Jinx vs, A Special Ninja!

Ok here is Jinx and you guessed it, Princess Kitana from Mortal Kombat! I was originally intending her to be Frost which is why her mask is this way but as I was putting the parts together and painting the Blue it just made more sense to be Kitana. Kitana is basically the same recipe as Vypra was except the Scarlett head and Baroness thighs. Jinx was made using a sculpted head, Mara Jade upper torso, Baroness waist, Scarlett thighs and arms, Starkiller Hero lower legs and hands. Jinx retains all full motion articulation in the waist while Kitana is more of a twist than up and down. I realised after the pics that Jinx's lower right leg was twisted the wrong way which was fixed in the last pic. Kitana's face mask is nice and crisp but the pics didn`t turn out that well. I`m debating adding padding to her top like Sub Zero usually has. Hope you all enjoy!

Really nice, Jinx is way cool and kitana is cool to, it would be even cooler if ya gave her some soft goods for the skirt.

really nice like i said, the paints, the mods, great job.

Maybe, but I was never a fan of soft goods on plastic figures. Besides the Luminara skirt is really thin and flexible and doesn`t interfere with articulation.

Great job on both. Kitana was a nice surprise. Any other MK figures planned? (Hope so.)

I like that you went with a more realistic and conservative outfit for Kitana, instead of the "move and expose yourself" costumes from most of the MK games.

Absolutely fantastic job on both of those. Great paint work and sculpting. Not sure if I completely agree with JBYRRD. Softgoods work well, but you have done a great job with the parts choice and it does look good.

Katana looks really good. Great use of parts for her. The metallic blue really sets her apart.

Great work I really like Jinx, kind of has that cartoon anime look to her.
