I used epoxy putty to sculpt the hair and clothing details onto a Marvel Universe X-23 figure with a female Star Wars figure head. I then painted the figure with acrylic paints and added a cloth cape.
Thanks for the kind words, I had a blast making this figure and I learned a lot about customizing along the way. Funny thing is I made this figure shortly after that costume was revealed because I knew deep down Hasbro would never make her in a million years but low and behold almost a year later they showed a ML version of her, guess you never know what the figure gods have in store for us. :P
Hold up, I'm picking up my bottom lip right now! Ok we good, damn Bro, where you come from, this hair sculpt is insane. And this goes to show that the accomplishments in this scale go far beyond what's small. Great job!
I appreciate it, thanks! Spiral and Puck still haven't officially got their new costumes in Uncanny X-Force so I'm holding off on making them until they do, as for Cluster I'm not sure if I like her yet.
I used a Star Wars Aurra Sing head because her jawline and nose reminded me of the way Marc Silvestri would draw Storm. The hair took time but wasn't all that difficult to sculpt, I did it in small pieces and combined them together and eventually attached them to her head.
Absolutely STUNNING The work on the hair is pure art, great head choice and the detailing on the costume is perfection. One of the BEST cloth capes ever - and on that scale no less
Thank you for your kind words, I am happy that you like her so much! Cloth features are hard to do in this scale because of the deformation issues that arise, it becomes less believable when the cloth doesn't wrinkle in the way it should based on it's relation in scale to the figure. The bigger the figure the more believable it will look so I tried to find fabric that would have some weight to it and drape well on this smaller figure.

Sculpting in small scale is much easier for me, I feel like I have more control over the shapes I want to create.
