Description

In the classic She-Ra cartoon series Catra is a character who transforms into a large cat seen here

So for this custom I created a Catra (in cat form) figure based on the vintage Scratchin’ Sound catra figure from the 80’s which you can see here

www.he-man.org/assets/images/c…

 

I also wanted this cat figure to fit in with the overall look of the other vintage Princess of Power action & steeds.

 

For the base I used a cheetah figure I found in a local Poundland shop seen here

The figure was painted black to match Catra’s hair then I covered it with a coat of black flock to match the look of the vintage Panthor & Clawdeen figures.

 

Her harness was made from pink faux leather & trimmed with the tails of 2 old Scratchin’ Sound Catra figures.

It attaches at the bottom with small popper buttons.

 

The spikes on her back were made from a silver shampoo bottle which was cut into shape then, details were added using silver holographic tape to help give her than vintage POP figure feel.

 

After I stitched the spikes to the harness I then painted silver cat markings to the pink leather to represent the stripes that went down the vintage Catra figures legs.

 

To finish the harness off I added a red jewel to the front.

 

I sculpted the Mask using a product called ‘Fixit Sculpt’ to which I added 2 green tear drop shaped jewels for her eyes. The mask was then painted pink & silver using Humbrol enamel paints.

Your Catra Cat Form figurine is very nice but I was wondering if you could do a variant of it! What am I getting at? Well, it's thanks to this:www.facebook.com/media/set/?se… If Shower Power Catra can be a Cheetah due to her spots, then Scratchin Sound Catra should SO totally turn into a Tiger due to her stripes! And it should even be like a South China Tiger but Pink! Just a thought I simply had to share with you. Please don't take offense to what I'm sayin'.

No, I don't wish to order it. I just want to share this idea I had for you to show to others and see it. Plus, I don't even collect MOTU or POP toys! Sorry if I wasted your time.
