Riddler's moll, Molly, customized from a "Married with Children" Kelly Bundy figure and a FTC "Teen Titans" Robin outfit. The hair is parted on the wrong side, but it took the orange spray paint very well. Note the Robin head became the life mask she holds in her hand.

I think it's Nurse Christine Chapel, shrunk down from the 9" Playmates figure.

Re: Custom FTC Molly the Moll
Lou Szabo, I was just looking at the head that You are using and while I realize that it is supposed to go with the "S" type body, the neck looks quite a bit larger than the head. Is this just due to the way the photo was taken, or is the head a bit too small for the body? I'd like to know before I spend money and find out that the head IS too small by comparison.
Also, what type of the gloves did You use?
Thanks again, and as always...Cheers

Larry,
In a few hours I'll get the shipment of the balance of FTC parts, including 2 other heads. Part of my goal is to create a bill of materials so you can save some money creating your own. By the way, this head is from the riddler 4 pack, Just like the head above, they put cellophane around the hair to keep it in place.

Ok, Lou. Thanks! Molly always was my favorite with Leslie Gore coming in a close #2! So do You recommend a different head than the "Yvonne" head or which one are You using exactly please? Thanks.

Re: Custom FTC Molly the Moll
So a bit of news
Neither of the gloves is a good match for the shoes, so I’ll use the darker set.
Secondly the body is perfect, the belt fits, and the gloves will be heat shrunk to form a tighter fit. We can’t have her with man sized hands
Lastly, the heads. Three very distinct heads, three shades of red. The closest color is the the first head I bought and is made to fit the S body peg. The other Two are designed for the regular body, and are loose on the peg. But that aside which head do you prefer. Note I didn’t push down on the heads, so the neck looks long.

Re: Custom FTC Molly the Moll
Hi Lou. Imho, the first one You showed earlier that is designed to fit the "S" body would be my choice for this one reason: It looks less little girl doll- like in the face. BTW, Lou, I just about choked when I saw the price for the Riddler's 4 goons. I won't say what it costs as folks can look it up themselves and I don't want Ben to get on me about mentioning the price.
Cheers

Hey Larry, Scott and I appreciate your caution but there are zero issues with talking about prices of licensed merchandise available from mainstream retail, we have only ever asked that people don't discuss the price of non-licensed stuff and/or personal transactions with private vendors.

Re: Custom FTC Molly the Moll
The GOON outfits can now all be bought separately. Although the generic hoodie was available from Classic TV Toys long before FTC's GOONS were released commercially. I just added a rat logo.

I have had fun putting various famous characters into '66 GOON cameos.

And my custom of Octopus, with the commercial FTC Penguin GOONs.

Larry, I’m inclined to agree, even the hair color is closer. I’m a little surprised the head plug doesn’t work for all heads.
I’ll have the images printed and mounted on the Factory card, then mount it in the Blister pack.
By the way the darker gloves went on easy, so I’m very pleased with that. And the head went on too! I just need to cut the hair. It doesn’t lend itself to styling.
I my original attempt, I think I tried to use more of Robin’s costume, meaning gloves and boots. If I recall correctly, the gloves have the wrist pegs in them. In any case, I’ll post all the parts so you may build your own if you chose!
