I'm making an ARAH-style custom of my girlfriend (ME to come later...) and want to give her a simple pair of jeans for legs. I'd like to give her shoes or low cut boots and no thigh holster or knife or anything else. Dogfight has great legs, but he has a thigh holster and combat boots. Plus I used his legs on a self custom.

Any ideas for legs? Mixing and matching is ok. Thanks

I was thinking "prison Jump suit" in those parts...but they could easily be made into jeans...it's just a different color.

A few other options: crotch - Wild Bill (v1) or Tunnel Rat (v1); thighs - Jinx (v1), Storm Shadow (v1), Shipwreck (v1) left with Tunnel Rat (v1) right *in theory, I don`t have the parts to compare any size issue*; lower legs - Tunnel Rat (v1) or Shipwreck (v1).

For my wife, I used Dukes of Hazard thighs with Shipwreck lower legs, and gave her sandaled feet.

Ended up going with T-rat v1'swaist and lower legs and no holster Lifeline v1 for the upper legs. I have a couple other lower legs I can try, but I think this combo will work. Once I get it together and painted, I'll show you folks how it turned out.

Matthew, great custom, what is the torso?

I'll be casting these legs soon. They work great for both jeans and dress pants.

Neat! Those will be a goldmine for customizers, especially since the plastic on those Mego figures is getting brittle enough that using vintage ones is asking for trouble. They're a great sculpt, and very useful. If they end up being for sale, I'll grab some and finish a few ARAH customs for the first time in about five years.
