Peggy Carter : S.S.R Agent from Marvel’s Agent Carter. Based on actress Hailey Atwell
Recipe:
Head/hair: Diamond Select Toys “You’re Welcome” Cordelia

Skirt: Sewn from old shirt
Hips/legs/feet: WWE Stephanie McMahon/Funko Legacy Liliana Vess, Pylean Princess Cordelia

Paints: Testors acrylic

Process:
This custom was a huge challenge for me and probably more than I should have taken on. But I REALLY wanted an Agent Carter figure for my display. I Frankensteined her together from several figures. Her head and hair are from a Diamond Select Toys Cordelia Chase figure. I repainted her skin tone and updated her makeup so she looked more like Agent Carter. The torso and arms came from a Stephanie McMahon figure. I broke the torso apart and shaved down the interior cavity so I could lose so much needed height from the figure. I lost the ab crunch in the process, but she still has a waist swivel and the coat, while soft-rubbery plastic, hindered that joint a lot anyway. Her right hand came from the Cordelia figure so that she could hold a pistol. I gave her nails a red coat like the character from the show. The skirt was an exercise in torture. It was really hard to get it to fit well while also flattering the figure. I’m ok with how it turned out. I painted it blue to match the coat. For her legs, I kept the hip joints from the Stephanie figure, but attached the thighs from a Lilian Vess figure. I had to sand the heck out of the legs to get rid of the sculpted detail. The lower leg can from another Cordelia figure. The choice of lower leg cost me a the double knee joint and ankle articulation, but I like the way it looks overall.

Articulation:
Ball-jointed head, ball-jointed shoulders, single hinged elbows, bicep cut, wrist swivels, ball-jointed hips, upper thigh swivel, single hinged knees.

Thanks for taking a look! Comments and critiques are always welcome :)

She looks absolutely ideal. I've just finished watching season 1 and 2, and while I'm lamenting no season 3, this figure warms my heart's cockles. I am completely blown away by the detail here. Marvel Legends couldn't have done a more perfect job had they factory produced something like this.

Thank you! It was more work than I bargained for but I'm mostly happy with how it turned out. I'd still trade her in for an official marvel legends Peggy Carter.
