Barbecue

as I needed Timber but not really an arctic SE I got to thinking about it and piece by piece started working towards Barbecue one of my personal favorites, made so by the episode "the Viper"

parts inclued Arctic SE body, Spirit axe, TtSpirit lariat, Stone vest, HT cable CC1 wrist gun and 1/6 axe

JINX

okay, she's a tad butch, but I can live with it... can y'all, no crossdresser Kamakura jokes please...

not really room on her chest to make the dragon look good so I ran it down and around her leg

yeah , I dorked out and painted her fingernails

construction includes nbSE body, KK head, 12" ninja showdown SS swords, TR webgear, Bratz mannequin for bust and waist additions

Barbecue rocks. Jinx on the other hand :shock:

I"d say she needs a slight bigger chest, yes I know she's small chested to begin with, but she needs a little more chest. And the shoulders need some sanding and smoothing down, she looks a little broad there. Don't know where to find a female figure with a head in the right scale but a more feminine head might help some too. That or jut round the chin more. Thats all nit picky stuff though. The paint work is wonderful, like the dragon alot.

And one second look the way the web gear goes over the bust might be part of why it looks to small to me.

The only issue I have with the Jinx figure is the neck. Not only is it too thick, but you can see the Adam’s Apple which is not visible on a woman. A more feminie head would help, as would onger hair or a poney-tail, but resculpting the neck is a must to make this figure look truely female. Softening the muscle-tone with some filler putty would help too. Even strong, athletic women have more fat distributed around their body than men, and tend not to have ripped, bulging muscles, unless they’re body-builders. The muscles tend to be obscured by the fat, especially in the arms and legs. A female martial artist would be sleek and gracefull. She wouldn’t have bulging, ripped muscles. Sanding down the forearms a little bit—not too much—and a little filler putty to fill in the deeper rips between the muscles would go a long way in making this figure more feminine. This is why even female Superheroes, like Wonderwoman, don’t have huge, ripped muscles. It’s just not that attractive.

I've seen a few woman with Adams Apples actually, not pretty at all. but yeah I'd bet that adding some putty to soften the muscle tone would help, Jinx has always been short haired though so I doubt he'll be doing anything with the hair.

Are you sure she had short hair? I could have sowrn she had a poney-tail.

I think you could shave some off the shoulders and jaw line on jinx. little form things like that go a long way.

The original toy had a full head mask. The comic version had short hair, though early on she did have something of a rattail she never had enough hair for an actual Ponytail. The cartoon version had the same as the comic.

However the actual Sigma Six version, which only appeared briefly in the first few episodes as far as i can tell did have somewhat longer hair, of course she also had a completely different outfit and no longer used the blindfold which the original wore when fighting.
