The KSG was too big in this set but the rest seem to scale well.
I've been playing alot of Tomb Raider lately and been wanting a good 1/12 figure of her. So I'm making my own. It's funny how I started buying pieces. Then GI Joe rumors show they're make one in Joe form. But I have the guns, the head I wanna use, and some of the other pieces I'll need. Still don't have the body I wanna use for a base, and I can't find the right arms I wanna use. But I have a vision of it in my head. So far this is my plan.
Body - Jada Cammy
Head - MCU Kate Bishop (may switch the hair, but still need it to fit over the backpack)
Upper chest - custom 3d print from Etsy for those larger proportions
Arms - I need something cast in flesh tone to help with paint rub, and they basically need to be bare. There aren't alot of those floating around. Snap Savage Land 2 pack has those. A couple other MLs do too. But they're all old and expensive and I want double elbows if I can. Boss fight arms are too big and won't disassemble where I need them too. (This is what is keeping me stuck).
Hands - Classified Marine Sniper
Belt - MCU Black Widow
Shorts and shirt - Rebel10 is in the process of making me some
Backpack - Classified Grunt with custom straps
Guns - Silver 1911s, Valaverse pump, Uzies, and MP5 from the new packs. M16 from Classified.
Gear - Alpine climbing axes, MCU Kate Bishop bow and quiver set
So the plan is to use Cammy as a base, replace the chest with the custom, paint the outfit more teal or blue, remove all the paint on her legs, and put those cloth shorts and shirt I have over top. I couldn't find a figure I liked with the shorts, so I asked Rebel10 to make me removable ones. So I can display her in the swimsuit, or normal clothes. The arms are becoming the big issue. And I will probably have to repaint most of the skin anyway to get it to all match, but because of pinless joints and paint rub I want it all cast in flesh tone so most joint rub should be harder to notice.
Now if Hasbro does a GI Joe version I can possibly pull parts from that to make her even better later. But right now this is the plan. I also don't 100% know if Cammys gauntlets are molded on or an overlay, so I may be able to use those, but I think they're molded on, and I don't know how easy the arms are to pull out of the torso, if they even can be. So I'm stuck on the fuckin arms. But the only pieces I haven't bought yet are the body and the arms and backpack (this I will buy next week), mainly because of the price and wall I've hit with the arms. So, the body can be different if I find a better one. But as of now, that's the plan. I chose Cammy for the outfit design and those thighs. The legs and boots I may still try to use if I do find a better body, but so far I haven't seen any I like that'll work, and I've been looking. But any input or assistance would be appreciated. I also don't 100% know if my custom chest will fit the Cammy body, but it should. I'm also torn between using erect nipples or not. Probably not, because the design I wanna go for is a little more classic. But I'm wondering how the hard nipple one would look with and without the shirt. Still probably won't use it, but its an option.
Worse case scenario, I don't get it done before Hasbro does theirs and I can just use all the guns and shit for theirs, or maybe mod theirs into a more classic look later. But since its still a rumor, even if it is real, it'll be a long ass while before she gets released. I was also thinking of maybe trying to do a pants and jacket version but that's a whole other beast. I'm not painting cammo, fuck that noise. So this is where I am.
