Hello and happy new year.

I would really like to do a custom Mystique with a full blue "nude" body. Maybe a Hot Toys Harley Quinn body, because I think it's hard plastic (easier to repaint) with the tatoos (maybe not all of them, but I think one of the Harley figure has a hard plastic body)
But it's probably really hard to do. I don't understand why Toys Era didn't do this look. If the seamless body was too hard to make, why not a body with visible joints ?
Are people really allergic to visible joints now ? I think most people would still prefer the "naked" look even with visible joints.
Personaly, I don't really trust seamless bodies. I'm afraid it will rott over time.

Hasbro did a really nice 6" figure of Rebecca Romijn Mystique. I would be happy with a 12" version of it.

Yes I would love a Mystique. Some people have used pastels to colour a seamless body but I have not seen one this dark. I don't think it would work with a standard body. I saw a few Youtube videos using shoe polish to stain seamless bodies (turning caucasian bodies to african skin tones) so it might be possible to try this with a blue shoe polish. I would probably settle for a sheer body stocking featuring her scales to be honest.

This is an example of what I mean - with a body stained or painted dark blue, a full body dark blue mesh, and appropriate scales attached, it might look passable, if not ideal. You would need a zipper up the back presumably. These meshes can be a bit delecate too and if you are gluing on rubber scales to hide her unmentionables, there might be a risk of tearing. Some detail is visible through the mesh so one option might be to use decals directly onto the body and put the mesh over the top.

There isn't really a full body mesh out there to faciliate this look at the moment but it might be possible to commission one.

This one has a mesh swimsuit in black - the seams show (especially with a pale body below) but might look better if mesh and body are a similar colour.

There are fishscale nail decals that could be applied but they would be way off the screen accurate patterning. Still, she can look however she likes...

For my own personal tastes, I think I would still prefer to sculpt scales on a hard plastic body and paint it. I don't mind visible joints.
But it's gonna be a looooot of work. I don't know...

Do you know if the Toys Era Mystery body is blue under the suit ?
I saw Xman1990 did an interesting job on a body page 104

I would suspect not. Generally they just do the neck and occasionally the forearms.

Ok, thank you. It's probably true.

Additional question : do you know where to find a Halle Berry head from the Figure Masters Windstorm figure ? I know the figure is impossible to find now, but I don't need the body or suit, just the head with sculpted hair.
Is someone selling one ?

I think I have a spare. I am keeping the uniform for Rogue and the body for a custom Uhura.

Oh

I would be interested. I don't need the uniform or anything else except the head with short hair.

Ping me a PM. I will need to check that I can find it but I am pretty sure I gave the long-haired head to my grand-niece so I have one sculpted and one long-haired head left.
 
Has anyone removed their Mystique's (Toys Era The Mystery) outfit/costume, to see what the full body looks like underneath?

I've been speaking to Pabs Customs about trying to figure out a formula fir an X1 Mystique. Custom head and either boot polish or some other kind of dye on a pale Phicen body and then laboriously paint the scales away from any joints. It might work but would be a real experiment.
 
Yeah I would like a X1 Mystique too, and since I don't mind visible joints, I was thinking about painting a body (like a Hot Toys Harley Quinn body) but
first : I don't really like the Jennifer Lawrence head and I can't sculpt a Rebecca Romijn one...
two : It requires a LOT of work to paint or sculpt scales all over her body

So I gave up on the idea...

Commissioning a Romijn style head from Pabs Customs would be easy enough (my Nightcrawler looks great) but pointless without a plan for the body. I think once my Kitty and Beast are done, Mystique is next on my list. I suggested seamless as I assumed it is easier to stain a silicon body rather than paint the hard plastic limbs?

But the scales can only be painted on a silicon body, not sculpted in relief.
And paint on a silicon body probably won't last.

That's why I think a 12" version of the Marvel Legends Mystique from Hasbro woulb be cool :

I have this figure and I can only pretend some dumb story like "she has been shrinked down by Ant-man"...:LOL:
