Here is Cover Girl in my recent Microlady/25th style figures.The arms were a new attempt to blend the figure with 25th style using the comic pack arms.To me looks ALOT better to me than the goofy looking Scarlett and Baroness figures we got.
WIP

Ok here are the parts:
Head: JVC Scarlett
Torso, Upper Arms, Waist: Material Force
Arms: Comic Pack Covergirl with Microlady hands
Legs: Microman Chun Li
Jacket: Microman Swan White

Sorry about the blurry pics, my camera was acting up.

8-O Whoa! That's sweet!

How'd you mod the hair to get it to look normal and not "windblown"? The mods to the arms & torso makes me forget it's a Micro. I feel a blatant stealing of this idea coming on....

Really awesome - one of the best customs I've seen!

Agree with Chief. That is one good looking figure. The head+hair is crazy!
That one could be carded. I would buy a figure like that!

Where does the belt come from?

Great custom! Cover Girl came together pretty good, and I didn't figure you could use those arms with that body, but it came out smoothly. Seems like you can apply some of those talents into making Scarlett and Baroness a heck a lot more appealing - are they next?

Nicely done...The arm mods are really well integrated...There's just one part on the back of the arm where it starts to flare out for the shoulder...if you'd trim it ever so much to fit to that Micro shoulder.

only other wish is that you'd find some other legs... Those MicroMan knees really look weird...especially if she's supposed to be wearing pants. I'm sure you oculd find some Starwars legs or somthing to bash in place from thigh to ankle there.

Gotta agree with Lance on this one, Best Covergirl ever!

Thanks guys, the belt I forgot to mention came from a SW Luke figure that was in the blister card (forgot which one). As for a new Scarlett and Baroness......maybe someday.

I like the customs over all... but that jacket. It looks like one of those booby sweaters that girls are wearing nowadays. It's a button up sweater that only covers the boobs. It doesn't even go to mid torso on her. That's my only critique.

Yes, where are these supposed girls?

Very nice figure, i do agree those ML knees looks a little odd, maybe you could sand them down a bit.

That's a really nice job! I do have to agree about the jacket. That's the only part that I would say I'm not to crazy about. The full design of the figure is nice though.

very nice. very inspiring too. Love the use of joes arms w/ microlady arms. I've been working on a Microman Professor X for a long time, but couldn't figure out how to make the arms look decent without sculpting on top of the microman parts.
