Hello Browsers,

I've been chatting with John from IDM Customs on working a 1/6 Gina Carano (Mallory Kane) head from the movie Haywire. I unfortunately can't afford to commission the custom straight out but John suggested generating an Interests thread for others. Not sure how many fans of the film there are on here but I really enjoyed the movie. I'm probably the minority on this but I'm not a big fan of how women are usually portrayed in films. Gina brought a lot to her role in this flick and all though her acting is still being polished out... She brought a great sense of realism and hardness rarely seen in female roles. It reminded me a lot of Bruce Lee given there was a certain stereotype of Chinese in American Films, until he came around. I would like the sculpt modeled after the fight scene with Ewan McGregor (Kenneth). I was thinking just the head with no neck and her hair style as follows...

With the sculpt you could paint her with the tiger stripe or what I call "Recon Mallory".
I know most of the time with female sculpts most like the use of hair. Not me! I've always been a fan of sculpted hair on 1/6 figures. In Haywire Gina had many looks but for me I really like this version. However, if you wanted to add hair it can be done with how the hair sculpt is braided. I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to do using the sculpt as a guide. Anyway, I have a recipe or the way I'd go about building her if anyone is interested... I also constructed the logo for the base decal, talking to the great EVILFACE to help me print another one..

That's what I was thinking with the generic white Hot Toys text, "Mallory Kane" for the name plate.

PRICING:
--- $80 unpainted headsculpt w/ no neck
Shipping included.

---$125 for a painted headsculpt by IDM Customs

P.s. This head will be made to fit a Female Hot Toy Body or the ball joint on a female HT body.

From those pix of her it seems she'll need to be mounted on a male body to make up the girth.
Yeah I was considering that but I'm mounting her on the Hot Toys (City Hunter) Saeko Nogami body. Just going to fill out her waist & thighs a little bit more. I'll have to post some pics soon but it seems to be a close match. Not 100% though but happy with the look.
 
Are you doing both sculpts?
I'm down for one with the cornrows as long as its decent, which judging by his past work, I guess it will be.

Hey Niltusk, I'll add you to the list then but no just for one sculpt "the braided hair (cornrows)". Yeah, John from IDM is nuts and a really cool guy btw. He was very excited to sculpt this so I'm sure it'll turn out impressive.
 
Cool project. But where are you guys going to get a hot and curvy/chunky 1/6 body for her? All the current bodies are too slim for her.

Hey Commtech, I said this before but I'm going with the Hot Toys (City Hunter) Saeko Nogami body. I plan to fill out her waist & thighs a bit more however. I'll have to post some pics but it seems to be a close match. Not an EXACT match for the nitpickers but it's a nice substitute. At least I feel that way... A friend of mine was suggesting customizing a male body but that's a little too much for me. If you could modify a male body well that would be ideal. Anyway, the Saeko body was pretty curvy around the right areas. Again, I'll post pictures of what I got working with soon.
