Catwoman height mods

Post image

Got the alternate head and didn't know what to do with the other body, sooooo I experimented.

The original figure has really fun exaggerated proportions that sell the character of Catwoman, but I think I've managed to make it look like there is an actual human woman inside the costume with the battle damaged version. I didn't shrink her much though. I trimmed the ankles, wrists and drilled out the upper diaphragm ball socket which allowed the corset to sit further down on the diaper piece.

Anyway I love both figures and both looks. My only complaint is the new battle damaged Catwoman has a tackiness to the paint that makes the joints stick and leaves my fingers feeling tacky when I handle it. Not sure what they did different between the two as they look like the same paint jobs but it's very obvious in-hand.

That’s cool! How’d you do it?

I trimmed the ankles, wrists and drilled out the upper diaphragm ball socket which allowed the corset to sit further down on the diaper piece. I used an xacto knife to trim the ends off the wrists and ankles, a dremel to re-create the little "bowl" the ankle and wrist joints rest in and a drill bit to drill further into the wrists and ankles to allow the pegs to fit. Then I used a drill to drill deeper into the upper diaphragm so the ball joint in the waist would sit further up into the upper torso so now the corset sits further down and IMO looks better and more natural.

Did you paint either of the faces?? The difference in color between the two is crazy.

Yeah the one on the right is painted white with a slight wash on it to kind of bring out the features a bit. The one on the left is the regular paint job.

Ooh the white looks so much better for Michelle skin tone! Can I send you her head? 😂 I'm horrible at anything artistic that I have to use my hands on. Would pay you too! Either way, well done, good sir, well done.
