Converting Miranda Ashcroft

Alright folks, I got a question for you; how do we make Miranda not looking stumbling drunk, waving a fearsome banana around? I'd like any of your ideas, as currently I'm stumped.

My first impulse was to replace her sword arm with my spare from Shinobu Kitsune, but I'd forgotten she was a southpaw... may still switch sword blades, though. The other idea was to relace her left arm with my wife's spare Myrmidon Officer's Boarding Shotgun Arm, but Its held at such a strange angle, making her pose seem even worse.

My other idea is to put another figure on her base and make it look like she's holding a blade to his throat/subdoing him, as this is how bounter hunters do.

I intended on swapping her weapon out for one of the free CCW from a Spec-Op pack maybe the Nomad one for example or even the Tohaa one as its quite long it might help to change her stance allot?

That should help balance the model a little or at least I hope.

What pieces does she come with? Where does the sword arm attach?

Vis: I might try the Spec Ops(Nomads) sword on her, but not sure if it fits her aesthetic. Considering the Shinobu Kitsune Drawn Sword option and leave my ninja in an battojutsu pose.

Body, Right Arm(Sword) Connects at Shoulder, Left Arm(bent inwards) Connects at Shoulder, Right Leg(Bent at knee).

I really underestimated how off balance she feels.

Add a pole, she won't look like a stumbling drunk at least ;)

I could make her Caledonian and replace her sword with a tankard, I suppose...

I don't understand why nobody has just glued that sword arm pointing upwards in a brandishing/superman pose. Should solve the awkward shoulder position...

I don't think that would fix her, honestly. Then she'd just look like a girl stumbling with a sword in the air.

I ended up doing this instead; though that would be a really fun conversion of Sforza.

Aside from trimming the sword blade down a bit, I don't mind the mini at all.
