I absolutely love Kris Anka's recent costume designs for Uncanny X-Force, I'll be sad to see them replaced with camo in February. I was especially happy to see Psylocke get the first true overhaul of her look since the 90's.

I started with quite an amalgam of parts from Elektra, Mystique, and Jean Grey. I used RIT to dye all of the pieces black first (that weren't already), which worked out really well, even the bright yellow Jean's lower legs ended up a VERY dark brown. This means she's fully posable with little worry about paint rub. Her head is a Moonstone cast on which I sculpted epicanthic folds to try and give her more of a Japanese physiognomy with hair from the old ToyBiz Psylocke, resculpted in front to better suit this head. I glued Elektra's bandana ties to her hip and sculpted the knot and sash. A lot of careful painting, and she was done!

Painted a cast of some katana, then used clear twist-ties with hot glue to make her new psionic bow and arrow!

Let me know what you all think! Thanks!

Thank, man! RIT is a safer and easy to find alternative to aniline dye. I wanted to use aniline, but I didn't have any left, then I saw a tutorial on here where someone had used Rit. Aniline is carcinogous in particulate form and becoming harder and harder to find.

That's cool, brother! Gotta look into buying some RIT! Anything to minimize paint rubs!
Thanks for the tip, verdigris....I'm a big fan of yours!

Thank you so much!! Yeah, I felt like it was a must for this figure. I love that they've started expanding Betsy's arsenal.
