thanks that's where i've been going wrong i'll try it with all my figures that are looking a bit pale around the mouth.

You make a good point Riderfan. The thing that really bothers me is FTC body. Puck is an acrobat and one of the fun things about doing a Puck figure is all the cool poses that you could potentially put him in. He barely stands up on his own with that FTC body. I'm going to reconsider using a Zica body. I'll do some careful measuring before I do any cutting. Maybe I'll wait until the 8" superstore opens back up and try some of the super posable limbs that they sell for the type S body.

For now, I'm just going to finish him off as he is.

I have yet to buy a Type S body (well, other than Yvonne) but yeah if you want pose-ability that's way to go.

The Doc body would give a bit more pose-ability (over FTC body) but certainly would add more 'bulk'.

But I certainly agree, finish him off as he is. You can always go back & make improvements if you feel the need.

I have a spare Doc body in the parts bin, I think I'll give it a closer look tomorrow. The Zica bodies have shorter thighs than the FTC bodies, which is a plus for the modifications I'm making but the calves are much more slender. I'm worried that the boots won't fit the same way. The Dr. Mego body might just be a happy medium, thanks for the suggestion!

this is a lion rock figure bulked up a bit just to show size at the side of a regular figure.

It looks like the padded suit idea is going to work out fine on the Lion Rock body.

I'm have trouble finding suitable material for the "P" on mine. The cosplay specific material that they sell at Jo-Anns that I like to work with doesn't seem to come in orange. Heading to Hobby Lobby tonight to find a substitute.

My attempt at finding a suitable fabric in the proper color last night was a waste of time & money

Laser Mego Sounds interesting, must investigate if my failures continue.

I ordered some orange vinyl last night and with be making a template today, if I find the time to get my work bench cleaned up.
