Marvel Legends - Custom - X-Force Psylocke Re-Coloured by Prisz

So, I haven't stop and won't stop! Until I finally learned the ways of those professional customizers. This will be my third try and yes I did focus on building my own X-Force team. The first two I created was X-Foce X23 - the first one as see over this link which was created during a storm and the second one can be seen over this link which was created out of pure interest. And for my third try I'll be recolouring the old Marvel Legend Psylocke to turn into her X-Force uniform. I was actually thinking of the Marvel now Psylocke but I lack information about it so the X-Force Uniform has to push through.

So Basically, I named this Project - "Project Psylocke" - wonder why? The dumbest thing I actually did was I edited the figure while it was still in it's tight joint condition. I got the Psylocke Figure in MOC Condition well no doubt I'll open it but the dumb part was I used it on it's tight joint condition. Well the damage was done so, I had to look for a loose figure of her.

So the first thing I actually did was to took off the head - the original plan was to coat it without breaking it apart aside from the head and use tapes to cover parts for the details.

Well the outcome was bad. Some parts wasn't covered by the paint leading to a bad paintjob - although the head was almost ok. The Hair wasn't change because I might find it hard to repaint the dashes of purple.

So the only choice - disassemble the figure that took me an hours just to break the torso apart. Arms and Legs was easier to pull out jsut remember to soften them with hot water or blow them with hair dryers.

Then paint each part one by one. Adding details in the head and adding a scrap sword from the scrap bootleg Figma BRS that I have. Adding the red paint in the her stash instead of using white. The original X-Force design has a white sash but I decided to use red instead.

Then remold the Right Arm by cutting them into three separate parts and add a tiny amount of epoxy to make it able to hold the sword.

Then drying and airing them for awhile depending on what paint you'll use. Then making sure no joints are destroyed because of excess paints.

Test to fit if they still blends in with each other.

Then clearing everything before you permanently glue evrything. Adding more details - originally I was planning to add a little weathering effect but I decided not to since I failed over the details in the face.

Then Gluing everything.

Then there you go, my recoloured X-Force Psylocke. Not accurate and I still have a problem over the joints wherein paints are chipped everytime it's moved.

Although I am proud though taht I was able to succesfully make it hold the scrap katana.

Thank you guys for sparing your time reading, please do comment on what do you think of my recoloured Psylocke. Any feedback are helpful in order to learn.

Note: Here's a comparison between the old and new - I bought a loose figure just to make sure I still have a Psylocke.

[Marvel Legends] Mojo Series Psylocke

And yes, our next update is an old figure from Toy Biz - ML Mojo Series Psylocke. No she didn't slip, I was trying to strike a pose. Psylocke (also known as Elizabeth "Betsy" Braddock) is a fictional character depicted in comic books published by Marvel Comics, most notably those featuring the superhero team X-Men. Created by writer Chris Claremont and artist Herb Trimpe in 1976, she first appeared in the Marvel UK series Captain Britain. Betsy was initially a supporting character in the adventures of her twin brother, Captain Britain, even briefly substituting for him in the role, before becoming the mutant superheroine and X-Men member Psylocke in 1986.

So, from the looks on the packaging it is indeed an old figure. Still on it's MOC condition when i got it from a shop this previous Toycon PH 2014 [Philippines] - and got her for like less than $8.

All in all, you'll acquire Psylocke, a chunk og Mojo - am I the only one who is disgusts about this baf? and a black disc thing that I have no idea what for, and a 32-page comic.

Actually, I already got used to pyslocke wielding a smurai-like-katana but it seems this one failed to give her even a knife. Saddening isn't it? The only thing you can do is her 30-Point of articulation.

In Details, well it's not as good as the ones that came out recently - but atleast she looks feminine enough. The hair was badly sculpt and body from her breast to her legs wasn't proportion but then again atleast she looks feminine enough. Paints were almost bad, but I guess this was because it was already old and have been stored for a very long time now.

In the end, it still a great find.
