My take on the character Princess Marionette from the comic "The
Micronauts", which first came out way back in the early 80s.......damn,
I'm old

comic used characters from a toy line of the same name, as many things
were simply extended commercials to sell toys back then (G.I. Joe,
He-Man, etc).
However, Marvel took these
characters and weaved a pretty good story around them, even though the
story was obviously highly influenced by Star Wars (the setting even has
a mysterious power called "The Enigma Force'....really? 
)
)I
always did like the design of Princess Mari's outfit, though,
essentially a high cut one-piece bathing suit (although not quite as
high as in my version, I admit 
). I even liked the 'Farrah Fawcett' hairdo they gave her, because I was a teen in the 80s

As I've mentioned before, I've been picking up a lot of 'Super Hero Outfits' from a certain producer over at Renderosity.
Although he never names who the costumes are for, if you know your comics, you can identify most of them.
Recently
he produced the boots this character is wearing, and with the color
pattern on them its obvious they are meant to be Princess Mari's boots.
Later he made the bodysuit as well. However, I didn't pick it up for two reasons:
One:
I'm a cheapskate. He's made entire outfits and sold them as one
product before, why split up this into boots, bodysuit, and I assume
gloves (eventually, but not as of this post), unless you are trying to
make more money that way.....or maybe to skirt bast the comic companies
who would sue him for selling products based on their Intellectual
Property, I don't know.
Second, as I mentioned
above, I wanted a body suit that was practically a thong in the back,
and most of his outfits cover up the butt cheeks (as in the comics,
despite me remembering them differently 
).
).
