Wait, you're going to post pictures of one of your CM figures? This is a shocking development. Stop the presses!

Oh, you!
Buffinator you almost always make me chuckle and brighten the mood with your humor.With that said, I'd gotten two of my four deluxe po's last week, now just waiting on my other two. I haven't opened any others yet, until I have the peace of mind that I have them all in hand, yupp I'm cuckoo like that
THEN I'll happpppilyyyyy setup my Captain Marvel display!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
I'm also undecided which CM poster I want to use for my display 
You bet!
Really looking forward to your casual Carol Danvers, Zurdo95D.
I also need to thank everyone in this post for the advice on the ankle extension. I would have never thought of this. I did the mod and it just makes the figure so much more heroic, powerful and graceful.

Wooo!!!!!! 
I do not usually have any intent for casual style figures in my collection, but man, for Captain Marvel I feel compelled to. For my casual Carol Danvers, I wanted to go for this look:
In this instance I would want to be screen accurate, but one must go the custom route to do so, so I just settled for an evocation of the film, which I'm alright with as long as it's good to me
Initially I was befuddled what female body to use, especially with all the options out there. After watching reviews and comparisons, the HT Rey looked to be of similar stature to CM and the skin tone looked to be similar, plus the long neck peg helped with accommodating the hair sculpt; luckily I found a Rey body on e-bay, and I'd gotten the fisted hands from TA. The pants and belt are from a US e-bay seller, but unfortunately they fit a bit too tight and was unable to find any female pants in the light blue color that fit looser. I couldn't find any boots I thought come close to the movie costume, but the HT two-pack Steve Rogers' boots look similar. The SR's boots look a bit big on her but I think it looks ok. Also, the 'picking' tools HT provides for some figures helped futz the outfit together. I was going for a plain red shirt at least but not having the AF logo would niggle at me, so I settled for a plain white t-shirt. It's for a male 1/6 figure, but the baggier look works because it's Carol from the 90's! I'm going to display her with the HT stand since it has her name on the front!!!

Zurdo, that?s a great custom Casual Carol! I think it?s the one way to use the jacket as I wouldn?t cover the suit with it normally. Great job!

Yes, nice job! But I feel compelled to point out that the movie was set in the '90s, so she really should be wearing high-waisted mom jeans. But then those are probably hard to find in 1/6 scale in 2020.

Great work Zurdo!
She looks really cool, I think my favorite pose is the one where she has her hands in her jacket pockets.

Wouldn't you cover the suit with the jacket because you wouldn't be able to see the whole suit, or are there stain issues with the jacket?
I have this figure coming in next month hopefully (Europe) and I'm planning on having her wearing the jacket. Except if it stains ofcourse.

Yeah! With the inclusion of the jacket, I wanted to use it to have a casual Carol.Yes, nice job! But I feel compelled to point out that the movie was set in the '90s, so she really should be wearing high-waisted mom jeans. But then those are probably hard to find in 1/6 scale in 2020.
Thank you! Yep, unfortunately I wasn't able to find those type of female jeans, as I referenced in my post, lol

The jacket is lined with a polyester type material inside, so I'd suspect there'd be no staining issues.

I should?ve clarified. I like the suit too much to cover it with the jacket.
