She Hulk

I’ve been working on this She Hulk custom inspired/encouraged by @dolldirt for months now but everytime I picked her up I realised how much I hated the Moxie Teenz body lol.

 

The plastic is oddly too flexible but also brittle so sanding and refining it is like a fun combo of either melting it, leaving ragged bits or just snapping off in chunks, plus the joints aren’t a stiff nylon, it rubs/sticks to the other pieces so movement is incredibly difficult and it flexes when it shouldn’t.

 

Honestly I hated working on it and was gonna trash it so I didn’t take progress pics but I sprayed it in green in a last ditch attempt to save it. Surprisingly it ended up looking nicer than I thought in one colour so she’s been saved,

 

The following modifications were done in an attempt for me to like her:

 

Outright replaced the neck with a Barbie neck for added length and better neck mobility with milliput to smooth out the transition

replaced hands with Color Infusion Hands from Integrity Toys

Replaced feet with Hobby Base Joints and Monster High inspired by @queenofsquids

Cut off the entire front chest plate, snapped the torso joint and repositioned it to sit better

Sculpted a new pair of (lopsided) breasts that sit higher than her original ones

Carved out hips and trimmed off shoulder ridges

I’m not really proud of any of the individual mods cuz any attempt at refining them too much just damaged the doll further and every time I tried to even out her new breasts they just got progressively larger til I had to stop lol.

 

Her head was a thrifted Wonder Woman playline head which matched the proportions well enough but I wasn’t too crash hot on it.

 

But despite struggling with She Hulk every step of the way I think every mediocre element comes together to make for a truly unique and interesting doll.
