What about the Movie Masters Faora for the armor? They're pretty cheap on Amazon right now. You might be able to scrape enough armor off her to make her shoulder pads.

That's not a bad idea, I just wish HIS(man, if I were the actress I'd be pissed at that sculpt) shoulder pads were the same, but like just about everything about that movie, the costume designs suck too, lol.

Well, look at the figure - there might be armor in other places you could use to make the shoulders for Scandal.

No, you're right. Was meaning to pick her up on clearance at local stores but most of the MoS stuff disappeared fast after markdowns. Hoping some might show up at the discount outlets. HectorHall is sending me something that might work, and I might attempt to try and use Hope Summers boots as well.

Looking at that faora, the kneepads might actually work really well.
