        Wow, well I'm convinced. That was my least favorite of the LOST figures, but with a little work, it can look great! Nice job!

          I love it... what a dramatic improvement! I would have thought she was too far gone to be salvaged... but you did a great job of pinpointing the mis-steps and correcting them.

              Yep, fantastic job, Scott!

              The likeness is far, far better with your paint job, and the hair is dramatically improved. Good spot on the body replacement too. I imagine that your example just sold several dozen more of the Mattel females to customizers everywhere.

              Will have to follow suit!

                    Not at all a fan of molded hair on Mego-Like female figures but you do great work with it. I also dislike the male neck plugs on them. Don't care for the look of it. So converting it to a regular Mego style neck also really helps the over all look of the figure.

                    You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

                      I was originally going to pick up Kate for customs, but when I finally saw her in person, I gave it a pass. Particularly because of the freckles. I absolutely love what you've done with her here.
