Once again Mattel
managed to offer fans a figure using generic parts that might not
have been made otherwise. This is a fine strategy. However, there's
simply no excuse regarding how far off some of these paint jobs
are.
This first version
of Huntress needed a complete overhaul. Her paint apps were all
wrong, the cape she came with was inappropriate, and the head was
close but not quite right.
I used the included
cape, cutting off the neck and shoulder portion. I sculpted the
shoulder points, and then glued them and the cape on to the shoulders.
I filled in the eyes of the mask so as to be smooth. A Hasbro Talia
donated the gun holster. In order to apply the pink squares, circle
and "H," I painted white paper with the same paint I used
on the figure, then cut out the shapes and attached via the decoupage
mehod. Despite the appearance of the photograph, the dark colors
are dark purple, not black.
She's a heck
of a lot better now.
