Tank Girl Custom 1/6th

[maddhatter]

Hey you guys im thinking about making a tank girl figure, as i have no female characters in my collection and she is one of my all time favorite characters. So i was wondering what all you would think she needs.
My sister has given me some great Barbie clothes to work with, such as a denim and faux leather jacket and some short camo shorts. I was also thinking of using the hot toys true type female ____usian for it.
but i need some tips on how well the clothes'll fit and what i should do exactly, as i am somewhat new to customs. thanks -MH

Barbie clothes will not fit (or be super, super tight on) the HT bodies. Barbie is way skinnier. Sorry...

thats okay, ill see if the shorts fit cause they have to be tight anyways, that is when i get the figure body.
i do have various accessories including a water bottle, gi joe grenades and several faux leather belts. know where i can get some gloved hands and combat boots that will fit?

and also, would it be bad to cut off most of her hair, i mean since tank girl has very short punk rocker hair i was thinking of cutting most of it off, leaving some longer strands in front.

There is a custom section on the forums, you might ask for advise there.

just found some at black ops toys though.
will post pics soon of the finished fig
and by soon i mean eventually
when i get everything.
which could be a while.....

sweet! im interested to see what they come up with. meanwhile im gonna do this kinda look for her but with the helmet on and with a jacket. dont worry though you'll still see her trademark taped nips.

This has been a much wanted licence for years from me, but it HAS to be the Hewlett style and she needs Camp Koala as an accessory, then Booga is an essential. Plus if they followed with Sub + Jet girl I could die happy!

Ugh...Hot toys announced their new lines for 2011, so i have to save up for them. Im afraid ill have to forget about tank girl for now. The mods can delete this thread now, if u guys want. Im gonna save up to get the DX jack sparrow fig thats coming out , and also since a tank girl fig is in developement, i dont see the point of me making one right now.
