My grandson in law has asked my to find him a figure to represent Chastity from the Film "All you need is cash". I'm at a complete loss so any suggestions are welcome. I wasn't able to find a still picture but here is a YouTube link clip of the character in question. Any suggestions in 28mm most welcome. x42 |

I'd probably go with one of the Pulp Figures 'She Wolves' pulpfigures.com/products/view/43 with a head swap, far right: link Oddly enough I have those heads on order- I suspect they're not going to be a wonderful fit with Pulp Figures but I may be wrong on that. There's probably something out there even better. |

Suggest a good browse through Frother's WWW2 pages: link Northstar's Project X has a pretty good match (albeit armed) but she's 1/48th. Several Pulp figures could probably do as well. Brigades has some Schreckentruppen that might also be good for the role. |

Dr Mathias That head looks ideal and the officer in the centre of the Pulpfigures is the best so far. I hope Ian will do the head swap as I don't know if my hands are up to work removing the hair without damaging the uniform. x42 |

If you're not in a huge hurry I can let you know how the heads scale up. I don't have those Pulp She-Wolves but I have a lot of other Pulp figures. Statuesque are on the slim/realistic side as I understand it. I haven't seen any in person, which will soon be rectified :) |

Dr Mathias I can use those heads anyway. I don't know how much of a hurry Ian is in he phoned me from his work early this morning but I think I better order thing this weekend. Thanks Every thing else so far is ether too sexy or heavily armed x42 |

Dr. Mathias nailed it. The She wolf forth from the end has her hair up and will not touch the collar. There is one in a leather outfit that I can't think of right now but if you do a TMP search on my user name it was a few months back about staff car and Nazi chicks. VR James Mattes

if you want a more just gender neutral figure there is this one on the far right that you would have zero problem cutting off the head and replacing. Cannon Fodder "Kameraden link I would think as she is fairly gender neutral as long as the head is correct you can use almost any Nazi staff officer type figure. VR James Mattes |

vojvoda I'm afraid the she wolf you suggest would be very difficult to convert as its gun would be almost possible to remove. I should have said that the final figure has to be without weapons (Chastity is an artist not a combatant). I will keenly look through your other sugestions. thank you x42 |

/Users/benjaminmegginson/Desktop/She-Wolves.jpg What about the She-Wolf giving the Nazi salute with a head-swap like Dr Mathias suggested? No gun involved. |
x42brown | 21 Jun 2013 9:15 a.m. PST |
Peterx I intend to ask about that one when I see Ian but Chastity's uniform was pretty consistent in the film (no great coat). x42 |

The pulp figures offer lots of options. Chastity has a jacket so the she-wolf SA figure is not so good. Have we ever seen an SS woman with short black hair? Need a blond blue eyed option. Is this for a game, indoors? What hat does she wear outside? If this is in UK then an overcoat is not bad idea. But if with a hat and uniform jacket is ok then the second from the left is good, only a pistol to remove, an easy snip job. Too much hair, but again a fairly easy hair cut with razor saw or file. Or a new head as noted above. I's like to know if those heads match Pulp figs as I need to make some conversions.
Or exchange head with second from right. |

I have no idea what Ian wants her for. He has figures for Stig and Nasty (I got them for him) so I think it has something to do with the films not the war. Of course Chastity's hair colour take after her father Adolf. In the old days I would not hesitate to do a head swap no mater how the hair goes onto the jacket but the arthritis in my hands make it harder these days. x42 |
