UPDATED CHARACTER - GAC TOYS GC09D
I'm continuing the process of finally updating some of my main characters with new head sculpts and bodies. This is the latest one, though I won't divulge at this point who among my established characters she will replace.
This latest sculpt is the first one I've purchased from GAC Toys. They may be relative newcomers at this point, but I feel they have raised the bar for aftermarket female head sculpts even further. I love the subtle textures and smile - maybe a smirk- this sculpt has. Finally female sculpts are getting the same attention to detail male sculpts have enjoyed for so long!
Some notes on what she's wearing: The top is from the DAM Toys female Russian paratrooper. For me the big news is the pants. For quite some time I had been considering these pants on the Cotswold website. They had them in gray and olive drab. Finding pants that fit and look right on the S23B body has been a bit of a challenge for me. Flirty Girl, Very Cool and my early Fire Girl sets either don't fit or are simply too tight. Finally, I decided to take the plunge with these, that Cotswold listed as being made by Very Hot. The good news is that they fit the S23B great! The bad news is that I seem to have purchased the last one! I haven't been able to find them for sale anywhere else.
These pants are both the right length, and fit properly. They have enough of a loose fit to look the way this type of pants are supposed to look, and range of motion of the body is still pretty good. Like so many pants in this scale, I wish they actually rode a bit higher.
The pants have very nice details, with all the reinforcing where one would expect to find it. The front pockets and cargo pockets are functional. I actually had one of her hands all the way into a front pocket.

The back pockets aren't functional, and the flaps arrived a bit folded. I'm going to tack them down so they look better.
I'm very pleased with these pants and will try to find more of them. The belt is included.
