This commission is based on Polaris's First Appearance in The X-Men #49 in 1968.
I am delighted with how she turned out-I was not sure if it was going to come together!

Custom Breakdown:
Mary Ellen Walton was used as the base. I repainted her face and gave her more "sinister" eyebrows lol
Hair has been re-rooted with nylon hair from my store, thedollplanet.com
Headpiece is made from thick foam. Not my greatest piece ever, but I'm glad it at least looks like her original headpiece, I rarely see it done!
Her outfit is the true masterpiece, which mostly goes to my mom. I do the concept design and supervise, but she is the one who does the sewing. The base is a HEAVILY modified CTVT jumpsuit with quite a bit removed and flesh tone material added on the sides. We used a Remego WW costume for the flesh pieces. Bracers are recylced sleeves from the bodysuit that got altered for a tighter fit. The halter top piece & cape are made from green double stretch polyester. We kept the cape extra long for dramatic effect
The skull was sculpted by hand using sculpey, it was made by a friend of mine who does a lot of miniatures cuz my clumsy hands couldn't do that! I did paint the eyes of the skull and attach it.
I also attached the "laces" of her shoes as a lovely reminder of how bad I am at this! I used friendship bracelet thread that my stepdaughter never used.
I hope you like her!
