@Tamer: Thanks! My Cover girl figure was just collecting dust and she looked so plain. I really didn't like how they killed her off right away in the movie. She comes with all these guns that she never had a chance to even use lol. So She lives on now as a fierce mando girl.

@Mungo: Haha exactly!

@JMT: Thanks buddy! Pretty much can't go wrong with a Mando girl. Glad you're liking her!

Honestly she gave me a lot of trouble. And her paint apps kept rubbing off, but after many hours I got her where I wanted her, finally haha.

Recipe for your own covert Mando Girl:

1 GI-Joe Cover Girl body and head
1 Boba Fett Figure (modern hyper articulated)

For her guns:
2 EE-3 Rifles
2 T-21 Rifles
1 WED Tredwell droid arm
1 repeating rifle (sandtrooper rifle, not the T-21 or MG-34)

2 braids (one from each interchangeable head) from a hyper articulated Street Fighter Vega figure
1 piece of a LOTR Lurtz shield (for knee armor)
1 Jetpack
1 Mando cape (soft goods)
4 Extra pouches from a random belt. (seriously I wish I knew what this belt came from, it's amazing, and the pockets are so good! Want more!)


Hope this helps you build your own :)

Very nice work on the facial tatts...but I love that rifle you put together for her.  I've got to steal that idea from you!

Light side, dark side...meh.  Just give me a lightsaber and a blaster and I'll take care of it!

Which rifle are you referring to? The sniper or the medium carbine? The long range rifle was inspired by a Barrett Model 82A1/M107 .50 caliber rifle. One of my favorite rifles in terms of aesthetics.

nice, I like it.  Good use of the cover girl figure.  I like the re-painted face the most. 

I'm not a big fan of the braided hair joined to the other hair, the splice just doesn't flow enough, but if your not looking at it from the front then it's good. 

I love the gauntlet and the corosis blades, those are awesome looking.

did you use the hands from the original cover girl figure?  They just seem too long for the figure, I almost used the same hands and arms for my janga-fett and didn't like how long they looked...  at first glance you don't even notice it, but from certain angles it is noticable.

WHat I like most on this one are the accessories, the guns and the cape draped jet-pack is awesome! very well done.

That is sweet, AFE! I dig the tiger stripe looking camo and the cloth draped over the rocket pack.

@Botwt: Thanks brother!

@Spuda: Thanks! Glad you like it! Yeah I wanted to give her a head band of tatts across her forehead like Baso from the comic pack. Yeah the braid was hard to splice, however the vinyl used on the braid is very stiff and rigid so it was the only option without it sticking straight out or looking plopped onto her hair. Yeah the gauntlets are my favorite. Glad you like them too! Yeah I did use the original cover girl hands. I actually cut the gauntlets down as much as possible and the wrists too without sacrificing the swivel wrist articulation. Yeah I really feel the guns are an awesome point. Now to use them as a jumping off point for a Star Wars Uzi. The cape over the jet pack was a last minute adaptation. I think it worked too.

@Clonehead: Thanks mate! Yeah she's a stealth tiger haha. Yeah I plan on using the cloth over the jetpack again :)

Great looking female Mando! Love the color scheme and the cape over the back pack is a great touch.

Thanks Spry! Yeah I love working with soft goods!

--Spoiler alert!--

On the table this week is a new mando, not a member of the squad, but a new rival of Boba Fett. A sleek mercenary with a strict code of honor who gives Boba Fett a run for his money (literally) as he begins taking bounty hunting jobs out from under him. He's no pretender like Jodo Kast. He's reviving an ancient order of warriors known as the Mandalegionnaires and amassing a military force in the galaxy. Using his finances from the bounty hunting jobs to recruit his fellow mando warriors and purchase supplies he is fast becoming a force to reckon with.

Find out more when he's completed!

That Mando chick is pretty cool. I like the face tatts and the weapons. The cloth over the jetpack reminds me of the camo nets we put over our vehicles in the military.

@Clonesniper: Thanks! Glad you're digging her. Cool! I think in some of the books or comics look does that with his X-Wing or they do it with the falcon to hide them from Imperial fly-overs. Must have got that trick from real life ;)

@Lucasclones: Thanks! Don't get too close, you might get burned!
