Building a Better Rogue
Part II - Parts
When selecting the base parts, my general philosophy is to use as few individual parts as I can to get a figure I can be happy with.
In this case, I know the primary piece is going to be Firestar. I've found this piece to be among the most versatile for modding female characters. Since Rogue is a flier, this piece should work really well for her svelte flying form.
Given the era we want this character to represent, her head and hair are important. In this case, I don't think we could find a better representation than Polaris!
Finally, while Firestar has a perfect figure, I think I want to show a little more of Rogue's aggressive attitude in her arms, specifically in her right arm. And, since we're already chopping off Polaris' head, we might as well use her arms as well!

Now, my plan at this point is to use ONLY Polaris' right arm…however, I'm aware that Polaris and Firestar are not built identically, so after stripping paint, I may discover I have to use her left arm too so they match one another.

Er….paint, that is…
