Thanks!

LOL and yes, why would one want to cover a perfectly good figure in clothes?

My unrepentant opnion is "nekkid, nekkid, and more nekkid the better" LOL! I got NOOOO problem with nekkid chick figures. I wouldn't show her off at the local PTA meeting, but for your private collection? Why not? 

Seriously--if she's got it, flaunt it! (AHHH, Jerry Ryan!--wasn't that her name??? "SCHWING!!!!"!! )

Just don't post it here that way!

You have optional clothing for the kit?  Damn cool.  If the clothing has hidden seams, it could be a good idea to use some magnets and make the clothes removable?  I've done this with a few kits: **warning, a bit of unpainted nudity*: http://www.gamerabaenre.com/saber_wf06_prog.htm There are sources for cheap rare earth magnets of various sizes that would work great for such an application.  Plus it makes for a cool little gimmick to have removable clothing :D

Agreed on the magnets.  I am finding more and more uses for them and I can get cheaper, lower powerd Rare Earth type at Hobby Lobby. I can get much smaller (3/16" by 1/8") online for a few dollars, just search for Rare Earth magnets and you will find a few suppliers.

For keeping figures like this upgright without having to solidly mount them to a base (like my Kempfer, a total beeeotch to move) magents work great.

Seven of Nine~ AGGGGGGGGHHHHHH!

Nude, huh? Interesting.

Maybe you can scratch just enough clothing to cover her "bits," but preserve the provocative element of her.

I say make her suggestive. I mean, what a duality - a titillating Borg.
