As the name indicates, this LE version of Emerald Empress represents the Eye itself and not the woman who wields it. I wanted the sculpt to represent that.

Here’s how I did it:

• Cut the Eye off her hand.
• Got a Green Flame/Fire figure from the same Collateral Damage set.
• Cut Fire’s leg off at about mid-calf (in a “V” shape to give the Eye a better space to glue in).
• Glued the Eye to the leg with modeler’s glue.

Completed mid-2006.

I have to be careful with this mod — it’s broken a few times. Perhaps I’ll use a more flexible glue to bond it together next time. Despite its fragility, this was the first major customization I ever did, multilating two figures to do it. I don’t regret it one bit — this is just cool, yo.

This also emboldened me to attempt an even more ambitious mod that I’ll highlight next time.
