    My TIGRA!

    I posted a couple of WIP pics awhile back...
    This is the finished Tigra that I have been working on:
    • Mattel Cheetah body
    • CTVT Red-haired female head dyed with an orange hair color, by me.
    • Tigra suit done by Capt_Amego (Thanks George, it's awesome!)
    • Eye paint, tiger teeth, and hands done by me.

            I LIKE IT! but i probably would have went with the ctvt blonde IG head...greer nelson is a little more
            mature, less wide eyed ( at least during the 80's avengers). and the blonde hair would have showed the orange better.

              Actually, my goal was to dye the face an orange color instead of painting it. I used Rit dye and it didn't take one bit.
              So I used orange red hair color from my wife's salon, and it stained the face orange. No color was applied to the hair at all. It was already orange red.
              This head also has longer hair than the IG head. Tigra has long hair so that's why I chose it, and for the red color.

                  neat figure. Sadly RIT changed its formula in the last few years and it doesn't work on PVC anymore.

                      She looks super, and way to stick with the dye issue.
