Head: Princess Leia (Star Wars)
Arms, legs, body: Ayy Vida (Star Wars)

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. Even Helix had to chime in when she overheard Grand Slam and Flash talking about this character.

In a couple of issues of the comics, we see at least one magma woman mixed in with all the magma men. I found a Star Wars figure with the appropriate articulation (neck, shoulders, hips and legs), and replaced its head with one from Princess Leia. The artist really did us a favour by giving her Leia buns, which made finding an appropriate head very easy. 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. Like the Magma Men customs, I gave this character a unique name since Moltar had a limited number of followers.
