How do you know the best body for that head?
I wonder if you can compare XING aka Poptoys body w Pepper body. I asking this because it is almost impossible to find Pepper body for a good price, but Poptoys are there for grabs.
I thinking XING body with leg extensions will do wonders.
But those skinny little arms are part of the problem.
A $300+ headsculpt is the best option?? maybe if you have the extra cash,
but im not dropping $160 for a fig for parts, then an additional $80 for a body, a $300 headsculpt, and possibly more cash on other custom parts?? NO WAY!!
There will be more options than the ML, I'm quite certain.
It's obviously a much better likeness, but even when dirtied up the ML seems a bit too glamorous somehow for Furiosa. Like she's about to walk the red carpet at a premiere.

About the arms they need repaint, Ripley body or Pepper Pots body needs weathering. Sorry but the headsculpt of VTS is subscaled for any 1/6 scale do you use. You can use some body 1/6 like Scarlett Johanson and the head can be good, but likeness to Charlize Theron needs more hight

I'm sorry, none of MLs sculpts are worth the asking price. I will totally concede that their Max is fantastic but not $300 good. There are a handful of Max sculpts from artists on this board that are as good, and even with a good painter on it, you'll come out below their offering.
I got the tutorial from OSW a couple of years ago. It's a tedious way but it works
- You make fine powder out of pastel by sanding/scraping. Basically it becomes color pigment powder. I use white, pink, yellow peach, brown, dark brown..etc
- Using paint brush, you mix the powder colors and apply on the silicone surface little by little.
- Use brush to set the pigment onto silicone surface. No brushing thou. just light dabbing
*Catch - Once it's set, it doen't come off. - meaning You can only go darker. Once you make mistake - there is no undo (as far as I know)
Try colors on area that's not gonna be exposed after you're done.
Awesome may need to do that as phicen are pretty light even the suntan one.
Thanks!

Thanks. I couldn’t, so I copied the link. Looks good though the head is pretty small.
The more I look the more it looks like a Phicen body -- likely the S23B or variant.
Yes -- I knew I recognized the shoulder muscle.
Personally, I love the muscular arms and I think the smallish head works to make her appear stronger and larger.
Waist is a bit slim and bust a bit large (all fixable) but this is much better than the stock body.
The only issue I see is that the head doesn't look like it can fit on that rubber neck. Might require dremmeling the socket larger. But I believe most people will eventually want a better head anyway.
I'm excited that we may be able to have a suitable Furiosa after all.

I have never modded a figure before, but seeing the greasy forehead does make her look a lot better. And those pix on instagram with the new body makes her look much more menacing as she should be 
. I was wondering, is there anyone can explain how to paint her forehead and what kind of paint to use?
Also what is a good place to buy a S23B 1/6 figure body other than eBay?
