Oh boy, I don’t even know where to start on this one. This has been a labor of love and at the same time the sole source of my customizing frustration. I started her back in winter of 2015 as a little side project for myself. I figured I’d work on her in-between commissions and wrap her up within a year. Well needless to say that didn’t go as planned. For nearly 2 years she’s been sitting on my work bench, taunting me, watching me with judging eyes, and staring into my very soul! Ok, that’s a bit dramatic but I HAD to get her done.

As with anything I work on, the longer I stare at it the more likely I am to not like what I’ve done and want to change things. The Stalk was no exception. She started with the torso from a Marvel Legends Ms. Marvel figure which I attached to a LOTR Shelob body using the ankle joint from a Marvel Universe Goliath (check out the WIP pics below). From there nearly every bit of her was modified or scratch built.

Here’s a list of all the work that was done to create this sexy bounty huntress:

​​Sculpted hair (three times) and headdress
Sculpted extra eyes (twice) and reshaped the face slightly
Re-sculpted chest (Ms. Marvel was a bit too curvey)
Sculpted “belt” to hold her skirt in place
Reshaped and reworked her entire spider abdomen then sculpted fur and undercarriage (twice)
Reshaped every leg and reworked articulation to utilize revoltech joints
Added hair to each leg for comic accuracy
Cast 11 hands so she can hold a variety of weapons
Skirt was made by a fellow hobbyist/seamstress which features high quality stitching, snaps, hooks, wire around the fringe for pose-ability, an elastic band and even two tiny pockets to stash a couple weapons.
Repainted a full arsenal of weapons so she can get her murder on, in style! ​

She features a whopping 93 points of articulation!!
Head ball joint
Torso crunch/twist
Waist pivot/twist
Where her 8 legs attached to the abdomen she has 8 disc/swivel joints
Her 16 “knees” and 8 wrists all feature revoltech joints with two swivel points and a pivot.

I’m relieved she’s complete. If you'd like to see her in even more detail there's a full video review on my website and on my YouTube Channel. She is also on eBay now!

So I'm going through all these awesome customs and I get a notice on my phone that the Marko and Alana figures I ordered are on their way and that made me think of the Stalk and how a figure would be so awesome and then two or three pages later I come across this AMAZING custom. Wow, I'm blown away. I applaud you.

Just wanted to say, I've been setting aside a fund to purchase this masterpiece from you. It's been nearly 6 months now, and I've had to dip into said funds for bills and such, but keep in mind: I am fully committed to this, as long as no one gets her before me, haha. Just a beautiful figure, and definitely the best rendition of the character that has been, or ever will be made. Bravo!

I'm kinda surprised that so many people haven't heard of her. I highly recommend Saga. It's a fantastic book. And thank you!
