Trying to make my first female custom and need some help

Posted in Custom Workstation

Hi, I am trying to make a jim lee storm, and was wondering what the "go to" female body mold is. I currently have an elektra, but is there a better or even best body mold for females like storm? thanks.

Compare the figures and use the body parts you like or fit the project best. For example, I wouldn't use the Spidergirl body for a Red Sonja, it's too small. I wouldn't use Spiderman for a Hulk figure.

The figures also have subtle differences that may decide which to use. For example, the Scarlet Witch and Ashley Barton figures have different thickness of lower legs. Wasp has thicker thighs, Captain Marvel has the thickest. So if you were to sculpt on those areas for a custom, I would use the thinner parts so you can sculpt and add details more comfortably.

The Spidergirl type body is for teens, Silk/Phoenix/Scarlet Witch type body is for slim chicks, Wasp figure is general purpose (it's a little "bottom heavy" too), the Captain Marvel body is good for thicker muscular chicks.

If I were making a JL Storm for myself, I'd probably use the Wasp figure with a Captain Marvel upper body simply because it has bigger boobs lol.
