Upgrading FTC Mary Marvel

[TrekStar]

You did a really great job putting her together and a box to boot, very nicely done.

Thanks! I really can’t take credit for anything other than swapping out the head and styling the hair, though. Everything else, including the box, came as is from Figures Toy Company. I REALLY wanted to move her to that Type S body, but the skin tones were way off, the slippers were never going to fit, and it was just going to be too much of an uphill battle. Maybe when Mego puts out the Super Gals, there will be an opportunity to move her to a better body.

I like your version a lot. The hairstyle makes that Jo head look totally different!

Looks good!

Get a WOZ Dorothy head and comb out the braids

Ultimately, this is what I am going with:

I used a new Mego Doroty. I still have to get the hair better, probably fabric glue the lightning and maybe add some tights from a new Mego Uhura. I've also been wanting to rip out that big piece of elastic on the FTC capes and replace with some type of yellow rope (any suggestions?), but I think I am on my way to having my Mary Marvel.

Joann & Michaels both sell the gold rope used on the Cap Marvel white cape. I'd use that.

Thanks! Hoping to properly finish it soon while I am on a bit of a roll (Robin body swap, Wonder Woman upgrades, etc.).

I saw that. I was hoping for yellow, but the Mego Shazam variant cape looks good on Captain Marvel, so I will probably use that, or if I am stuck on yellow, the FTC Wonder Woman lasso (which I forgot was my original backup option). It's a little more yellow than gold.
