That looks like the Clone Wars Aurra Sing right? I seen her at the store the other day and seen her antenna on her head and it looks stupid. Glad to see you fixed that problem. None of the rest of the figure needed anything changed on it in my opinon, but that antenna has got to be changed when I get her.
There were no ball joints in the hips, THAT sir, NEEDED changing
Your right though, the cranial implant antenae was horrible looking. Way too thick and made of the same rubbery plastic they are using for everything now.
as for the hip transplant I did something a little different on this one. With the figure being from the cartoon line it's alot smaller than anything the joes have to offer, so when I tried to transplant the scarlett torso like I'd planned it looked rediculous. I decided to use aurra's original lower half and use my exacto knife to cut her open and insert the T-bar from a joe crotch into hers. I glued it back together and hollowed out enough of the sockets for scarlett's legs to fit in. Originally I was going to use aurra's original legs from the knee down but they just didn't look right. I figure'd the pilot scarlett legs looked the most like aurra's knee-high boots and used those. I swapped the pilot scarlett feet out for the normal scarlett's heeled boots to add just a tiny bit of height to the figure and make it look more like the original.
I started painting her today and I'm going slow as there are alot of places for the paint to rub... I don't want this one getting all smudged up because I rushed it.
