          I modified the head off a Figures Toy Co. Elvira that they made in 1998 and put it on a Zica body. The dress and belt are also from that FTC Elvira.

          Adding a picture and more details on how this was done for anyone that wants to do one.

          Except for the flock drying time this custom was made in about a half hour or less. The head looks solid but it is actually hollow. I cut the head off right below the chin, then using an exacto knife enlarged the hole some so it would slide on the Zica body neck.

          I also decided to remove the two front hair "bangs" from the head and painted those spots black and trimmed a little "hair" from the inner back of the hair.

          The head sits about halfway down on the Zica neck. The neck could be grooved halfway down which I didn't do because it seemed to be snug enough once I pushed it on and not going any where.

          The hair in back is down to the waist so you are not going to get any side to side movement anyway.

          The original figures also come with a chainsaw and snake "accessory" which I misplaced on both of the ones I have. I am good at that.

                              Thank everyone! The stockings are from the CTVT Kelly Bundy "Rocker Girl" outfit. I looked and didn't see that outfit anymore, so I don't know if it's still available. The shoes were off Ebay. Also, I had to trim the Zica female body feet to make them fit.

                              More info on post #4 on how she was made.
