Seriously, Uhura must have her own body. Imagine my reaction when the Boss told me to use a generic body for Uhura because no one cares. Was he right? Surely, not in my books.
No one worship me. We are friends here. I treated everyone here as friends. Ask anyone if I gave more than I took. I understand this isn't your intention to make friends, but I am. For the last 10 years on this board, I have been doing the same thing.
I am personally interested in this Picard from their comics.
Thanks for the phicen suggestion. I haven't bought any female bodies, so idk which models are any good. The bust sizes are definitely egregiously frightening on some models. I also looked at the Pop Toys small bust super flexible model, but painting a harder plastic body doesn't look fantastic and the paint rubs on the hands, which is why i was hoping to use an already colored body with matching hands. Would the Triad body hands work (the connectors) with a Phicen? At the least, it would solve the hands problem.
If you search for dying phicen bodies, there was a pretty good thread on doing it recently. You use Rit Dye (synthetic i think but you'd have to check the thread), widely available. It would be a mix of the chocolate and red for African American, and you submerge the body multiple times. Some of the results are quite good. Also, Jacob Rahmeier posted a tutorial on his patron last year for dying a phicen body blue for Mr. Freeze using that Rit Dye, so same process but different color.
I have a custom head I bought, as yet unpainted. I'm just going to use the playmate's dress for now as I have a million other custom projects I'm working on ahead of this one unfortunately. Once you get your Scotty, if you are planning on that, it shouldn't be too hard to find a fabric near its color range at your local fabric store because they usually have a pretty good range of red hues. In this photo, the barbie dress looks like it isn't too far off, but as you say, with internet photos and different monitors, its hard to say.

Oh you are lucky I'm a good gal! I needed some thread anyway and I took today off of work, so I took Scotty's shirt with me to my local JoAnn's. I found two fairly close fabrics. Obviously the nylon/spandex would be a better material choice, but the color on the polyester is a closer color match (there is a slightly different texture but imo it wouldn't matter). So I got a half yard of the polyester. The brightest pic is taken outside with the polyester i bought. The other photos are from in the store, and if you have a JoAnns near you, you can use the tags to identify the fabric. The pic with the shirt and both types of fabric: polyester on right, nylon on left.In the pics with the tags, the shirt is at the top of both.

Somebody please shoot that poor horse already or I may once or twice more beat the ridiculous bodies drum.
... But falling on deaf ears.
