2dtoys custom Psylocke figure

This one was an experiment of sorts. The torso and lower legs from an Elektra with the hips from a Valkyrie from the Spawn line. I cut Elektra right above the waist and thigh swivels and transplanted Valkyrie's hips and upper thighs. I kept the hips at an angle to her left to accomodate the contrapposta positioning Jim Lee seems to be fond of drawing his females.

I was hesitant at making a flesh to flesh transition at the hip line since they always seem too distracting to the sculpt. The fact that Psylocke has a high bikini line didn't help either as a hip cut too far away from the bathing suit line would add to the distraction. So I dremeled higher and higher on Valkyrie's hips to minimize the flesh distance from her bathing suit to the hip cut. This meant I had to sculpt more hips and ass on the legs itself, particularly to her right hip. It hinders her leg mobility but I tried to compensate as much as I could by dremeling the insides of Valkyrie's hip awhole bunch. She still doesn't have the full range of motion as the traditional balljoint but I can live with her not bein able to do the splits.

Her face is Elektra's but with re-sculpted eyes and hair. The hair strand crossing her face is a piece of wire drilled into the head and blended into the hair with epoxy putty. The back part of the hair came from Felicity Shagwell from Austin Powers. The sashes were from Elektra's bandana. And the psychic knife was from a 5" Elektra, the one with the black costume and the huge telescoping psychic blade. I cut the knife smaller, and glued it fully extended. The knife had this small peg that sticks out so you can extend and retract the blade so I drilled a small hole in the back of her hand for the peg to fit into. The end opposite the point is hollow, but I can dig it.

Since she can't stand on one foot, to help her balance and show off her full range of movement is Reed Richards in drag.
