All body parts except hair: Ayy Vida (Star Wars)
Hair: Baroness (modified)
Whip: Magma Man (Remco, modified)


The Saga of Crystar: Crystal Warrior was a short-lived toyline produced by Remco in 1982. It was unique because the idea for the line originated with Marvel Comics - they wanted to develop a toyline that they would then promote with a comic book that they would produce. Sadly, the line was not successful, and the comic run came to an end after 11 issues. But this line holds a special place in my heart. I had a number of the toys as a kid, and they were completely awesome. So as I built a collection of the figures, I wanted to do customs with them, along the lines of what would have happened had Remco made better toys and the line had seen some success.

Lavour was a very prominent character in the Crystar comics through the entirety of its run. But since it was an 80's toyline, the perception (accurate or not) was presumably that a female figure would not sell well. I found a Star Wars figure with the appropriate articulation (neck, shoulders, hips and legs), and replaced its headdress with the Baroness' hair, trimmed down at the sides a bit to fit better. The mottled effect on the skin was made by dabbing hot glue at random on the body, letting it cool, then painting with a base coat before the final colour. The prism thing on the chest was cut off the side of the weird dark green weapon thing that came with the Crystal Warrior Battle Set.
