Custom Indy Figures – Willie Scott in red dress
November 7, 2010 2 Comments
My latest Indy custom is completed! Here is my showcase.
#33: Willie Scott in red dress from “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom”
Willie Scott was performing a dance and song routine when Indiana Jones entered into the Shanghai nightclub for an artifact exchange with the crime lord Lao Che. But Willie unwittingly finds herself turned into a pawn in the deadly negotiations when Lao Che double-crosses Indy by trying to keep the artifacts for himself and poisoning Indy. After Willie realised that Lao Che held little regard for her well-being, she followed Indy as they escaped from the resulting nightclub shootout.
Recipe:
Head – Willie Scott (“Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom”)
Ears – Mutt Williams with snake (“Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull”)
Arms – Mara Jade (Star Wars Expanded Universe)
Torso and dress – Padme Amidala (“Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones”)
Hasbro had produced a Willie Scott figure as part of its line of “Temple of Doom” Indy figures, but she wears the white sacrificial dress as she was being prepared to be sacrificed to Kali by the Thuggees. On the other hand, the Indiana Jones Adventure Heroes Willie Scott figure wears the red dress that Willie appeared in as she did her performance at the start of the movie. And therefore, I was inspired to customise a red dress Willie Scott, since I know of a suitable female figure to use for the torso and dress. The problem was in trying to find an extra Willie Scott head to use for the custom, as by now no one was selling Willie Scott. I had initially thought of finding a figure with her head likeness closest enough to Willie to use for the custom, that was, until I found a shop at CSC which was still selling the Willie figure.
