After seeing Stone Cold lead's brilliantly painted Dakota, that totally looked like a female Neo, I got the idea of doing a bunch of rule 63 cosplayers.
For those who are unfamiliar with Rule 63 it basically sais "For any given male character, there is a female version of that character." of course the reverse is also true.
So looking for minis that represent female versions of known male characters (and male versions of known female characters) from film, tv, comics, and anime
So far I've got Hasslefree's Major Stephanie, and will get the before mentioned Dakota, I need to take better look at Hasslefree website but I've also already found Delphine, Rennie and Tilda.
Anyone know of any others that would fit the theme, and will scale well with the Hasslefree figs? They don't have to be perfect, I can probably do a bit of greenstuff work if necessary, so any suggestions are appreciated.
also Major Stephanie still needs a shield, anyone know who does captain America like shields?

For the Cap Shield, I would grab one off a Captain America Heroclix.

I would have said the same thing.
Other than that, you could always make one. But pretty sure clix is going to be the cheapest, quickest and less hassle way to go.

people on other boards have been suggesting a hoplite shield, which is probably the easiest way for me to go, but thanks for the suggestion
-
I was going to suggest a hoplite shield too, very easy to get hold of and the right size and shape,
Regards
Jim
-
I suggest a flathead thumbtack; can be found in various diameters, readily available, and it comes ready to be pinned too.

Hassle free also does a female he-man type.
-
I think that's Delphine which I mentioned in the first post
So far what I've found is:
Hasslefree:
Major Stephanie - Captain America
Dakota - Neo (Matrix)
Delphine - He-man
Ashley Campbell - Ash (evil Dead)
Rennie and Tilda - Astrix and Obelix
Kat - Deadpool (after a headswap)
reaper:
Berkeley, Zombie Survivor - Ash (evil Dead)
Dee Dee, Astro girl - either DC's Adam Strange or a Rocketeer
Also Hasslefree has some nudes that I might be able to convert to some of the more spandax clad superheroes

I used a Heroclix shield for my Major Stephanie

Also, I used this model from Reaper to create a female Thor. Not a great pic and some conversion was done. Could have done more to make her more Thor like but she suits my purposes.

Then there is this one from Statuesque Minis to create a female version of classic comics Nick Fury.

I use all of these in a pulp era gender bent Avengers style team. The dude is my male Black Widow.

I'm definetly stealing that nick fury idea, I had planned to order some statuesque stuff anyway for the random platypus statuesque paint-a-long so I'll just have to add her :D
and the not lobster johnson as widow is also really cool, might nick that too.
I also really like that iron man idea, although I would prefer a more modern take in full armour, will have to think about that.
not sure if I want to do a thor, there are certainly plenty of options of minis to turn him into a chick, but isn't he a woman now anyway? to me that kind of defeats the purpose of what I'm going for
Anyway thanks for the great ideas

Original Thor is still male, he just doesn't have the hammer any more having disgraced himself, female Thor is currently an unknown blonde lass that was deemed worthy of wielding the power of Thor....So shes just one in a looong line of people who can hold the hammer.
-
I guess you're right, but for me it's more broad strokes, I also wouldn't want to do a female hulk, cause there's a shehulk, or a female batman, because there's a batwoman (not to mention several bat girls). I just want minis where you can easily identify who it is, where you don't have to wonder is it a gender swapped male thor or the actual female thor, maybe it would have been differnt if it wasn't a current story line but for now no Thor for me :D
although I might make a few exceptions, I can see me doing a female spiderman as it's such an easy conversion, eventhough there are several female version already
and I think there's technically also a female capatain america somewhere, but who remembers her ;)

Curious, what is the name he goes by now, Tom?

-
Doesn't he go by Odinson now?

I don't follow the comics so I don't know.
Have to wait 10 yrs for the movie. Lol

Yes, last I saw. "Thor" has been retconned to be a title now, rather than a personal name. Kind of silly if you ask me. Female hero taking over the role? Fine, neat idea, plenty of story potential for a kind of tired franchise, worth giving it a chance. "Odinson" having used a title for his actual name all those years, even when he was speaking himself, and even when speaking to loved ones in intimate situations? Goofy.
-
Thor's full name was always Thor Odinson wasn't it, and the Hammer does say
"Whosoever holds this hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor."
So it's not much of a stretch having a girl that looks like Thor with the power of Thor to be called Thor, and the real Thor dropping his first name since obviously he's not worthy to posses the Power of Thor so why use the name. I've not read the title for while, do they actually call her Thor to her face or does she have a normal name? and oes anyone in the Marvel universe call her Ther like they do on the internet?
Anyway back on subject, while I don't want to do a Thor, I'm thinking about doing a female beta ray bill, maybe use a horse skull as a basis for a head and go from there

Glad to help. The not lobster Johnson is Phantom Acefor Pulp Alley, also sculpted by Andrew at Statuesque.
