DEADLINE's Valetta

What?
A fan-fiction project I created almost 10 years ago, DEADLINE is a team of intergalactic bounty hunters that patrol the galaxy serving justice for those that can afford it. Originally conceived as a comic book series, it
will soon become a series of customized action figures starring in their own photonovels!

Who?
Valetta has an unusual method of capturing her prey: she seduces them before she kills them. This Zeltron assassin is also a skilled marksman, but she prefers to get close to her prey. She was recruited by Max Pierce on Cloud City, convincing her to cancel her assassination of the Baron Administrator,
Lando Calrissian. Since joining DEADLINE, Valetta mainly works on missions where she has to go undercover to get close to the target.

How?
Valetta is mostly made from a Slave Girl Princess Leia. After popping her apart, I added a Ceremonial Leia chest because it has the most cleavage! The head is from a Spat and Grovel figure from the Marvel's Most Wanted line. After I painted the figure to match the reference photos (as well as the Marvel comic!), I put it all together. At first I thought I'd stay with the swimsuit design, but I changed my mind and gave her a miniskirt, sort of like the old time sci-fi babes of the past, the skirt was provided by a Naboo Anakin. Finally, the shoulder pads were cut from a Jar Jar Binks vest, and her weapons are modified Lando Calrissian guns, held up by a rubber band.
