Possibly the strangest custom I've done so far - The Mime is loosely based on a roleplaying character I had a while back. She was a mime (duh), but was a changeling, so had magic powers that when she mimed something, she could make it real (albeit invisble to non changelings). My favorite trick was to mime a box around someone, then leave them trapped inside.

Anyway, this figure was quite fun, if time consuming, to make. The clothes are made from two old t-shirts, though I ended up not using a pattern as a base. I tried looking online for a free pattern, but the only ones I found were for old Hitler Youth uniforms (on a site about 'the good old days' it turned out). The suspenders are from PTE backpacks.

The main problem came when I upgraged her arms to short sleeves and flesh coloured. As I mentioned in my Jinx write up, the newer Microman bodies have (form my experience) differently scaled parts. On the Street Fighter figures, the arms didn't seem to have the standard 'one big peg, one small peg' setup, but two 'big' pegs by the looks of it. This resulted in the right hand being prone to falling out occasionally - oh well.

You can see her in action in the JTV dios for more pics.
