Here's my contribution. I do agree with others in the fact that this needs a body swap. Overall a pretty damn good figure, IMO.

Not as good.
Both broke, simply trying to pull them out. With the post glued in, not sure what to do.
I wrote Wake, but am still waiting for a reply.

I didn't get the longer ankle pegs with my extra body. Did anyone else, or do i have this wrong...?

Haven't had much time, but a couple of quick photo's.
Removed the rubber tube inside all necks, trimmed a couple of mm off and put back in. No gaps in necks. Need some bigger ankle pegs to make up the clean Bride. Any idea's...?
Payback custom...???

Playtoy body(and hands), shoes, sword. Must say the MW suit is more accurate in cut and color than Playtoy. But I prefer the Playtoy shoes by a wide margin. I have another Playtoy coming to use with the motorcycle outfit.

She should be much shorter than Beatrix, but I can live with the height. I did cut her thumbs away from her other fingers on the gripping hands to make it easier to maneuver the sword hilt and scabbard.

Looks great. Also thanks for showing me where the dart is supposed to go.

Kinda funny, the amount of people buying two unlicensed figures to make the best possible Bride. Somebody call Miramax, they're leaving a lot of money on the table.

Yeh, no way of actually speaking to anyone in customs. The reponse from the delivery company is, it's out of their hands as customs have it and there is nothing I can do until customs release it and that is IF they release it

My personal view... It will go through usually with ease. Small packages are low priority for them and most of the times they are dealing with complex paper works for large shipments... Hang in there shld be anytime...

On a Medicom body. I chose it because I was thinking the other body was too bootylicious, but now I'm thinking the Medicom body might be a bit too flat. I like the way it looks on the HT Ada Wong body, so maybe that's an option I might be interested in. I didn't find a suitable sword holding hand for the Medicom body, but she's posed like she's holding one, so imagine she's holding a sword in her left hand 
The shoes are from eBay I think. My guess is that it's very similar to the Play Toy shoes, except it has white laces.
Some sculpt pics (I think it's a bit on the blushy side).

Looks great from the top half on the Medicom Lawrence but I agree that from the bottom half it looks off. It looks a bit too much like a boy.
I too felt the biker outfit looked weird on the triad I went with a baby doll or something, maybe catwoman... With the triad ankles affixed to the bottom for height.
My assessment on this set:
All in all a dream come true with what might be the finest female sculpts I've ever seen and without a doubt the best female sculpt, actually one if the most realistic sculpts I've seen of all time in ORen.
Dane played a big part in this so I wanted to give him props for getting the ball rolling on this and a personal thanks for helping fill what was one of the biggest gaps in my collection.
But this set is not without it's faults. In fact it's disappointing effort given it comes off of the heels of some almost out if box perfect releases like cowboy and bateman, though it stands head and above the Star Trek releases. That nudges it higher in my books.
The triad body's being what they chose to use to make the figures only attests to the lack of good female bodies on the market. After a few swaps and experiments I went back to them and I'm I'm happy with the alpha bodies after some mods. The most realistic and beautiful body ever designed was by triad. It was the eva body, and oh how I wish this figure was designed with that body, but the body is long since dried up and they only replenish the crappy alpha body. Both the eva and the alpha suffer from quality issues but because all triad bodies pop apart at the joints, it makes it easy to fix loose joints by yanking off the thighs and arms and knees and lining the joint with bandage tape and sticking it back on for a nice tight grip. Filling her inner thigh gaps worked wonders but what really bothered me was the ridiculous wide shoulders... Thankfully popping off the arm and dreaming a nice clean deeper shoulder socket fixed that problem right up. Pop the arm back in and the shoulders are nice and narrow without a massive gap at the armpit.
The other biggest problem was the weird neck joint and neck gap, and her neck being too long... I just dremeled the neck flat to the height of where that gap was popped the head back on and everything looked great.
Zipper dangles were yanked off...
Personally though the play toys boots are leather and have real laces that are the right color etc, I don't think they look better than iminimes rhey are oversized and a bit doll like. Iminimes wins.
The metal swards are beautiful though I'm disappointed there is no gold hilt on the brides sword and obviously no Hanzo symbol.
O ren saw no mods from me other than tightening up her thighs and I had some underwear from another figure I gave her, not that it shows but I just wanted to add it.
Now the biggest gripe I have with this set. Bloody bride...
The blood application on her outfit is actually pretty accurate to the go go fight scene, but the amount of blood on her face resembles the o ren fight scene closer even though the three vertical stripes on her head should be somewhat more diagonal pointing to the upper left.
So now I'm wondering if I just go in and customize more blood and cuts on the outfit to closer resemble rhe o ren fight scene. I actually think the go go /pre 88 amount of blood is most iconic, but there's no way to take away blood on the bloody face..
Not sure what to do.
Also I'm bummed the whole magnet idea for pieced hair did not come to fruition, it is really bothersome that she can only look straight.

I think the tailoring in the biker suite came out very well and am sure they spent a lot of effort making it fit great on the original body. Honestly, the body swap on the biker body in your pic does not look very good. I like the way the biker outfit is clad nice and sexy on the original body. Personally i felt it would be a waste to change the body and make that otherwise impeccable tailoring , go in vain... Also, most of the people complain that that head sculpts on customs are a bit larger, and then if you further use a slimmer body, it looks more like a bobble head (exaggerating a bit here) ... But u get the point...

The stripes are crooked on mine too... Am sure most have not noticed it... They are a bit closer to one set of the helmet air / ventilation holes... At least mine are.. Just like his...
