Cool story... The actress who played the Inca Mummy Princess, Ara Celi, emailed me saying that her sister had found a photo online of the Ampata figure that I made. She emailed me asking to buy it.  As you can see, it was a very old one of mine from 2005. The likeness was good but the sculpting a bit rough (I hadn't been sculpting long then). Anyway, I agreed to make her a Princess version with emerging mummy arms. I've sent it to her. She says she will send a photo her holding the figure when she get it. I'll post the photo here when she does. Inca-Mummy-Princess Ampata   Buffy the Vampire Slayer• 2.4 "Inca Mummy Girl" • Ampata can't bring herself to harm Xander so she attacks Willow instead - "I must do it now! Or it is the end for me and for us! Recipe - Thanks for the Parts!• Princess Cordy head (DST) • Carrie body (NECA Toys) Sculpt - December 2014• Altered the angle of the left hand to make it aggressive, not defensive • Sculpted hair, hair slides, necklace, dress, belt, boots, and mummy arms • Printed stage curtain backdrop for the stand  |

Wow, how cool is this?! I think I remember you made this figure as price for a contest back then? She was pretty cute.
Great job on the new one, you can clearly see the improvement of sculpt, and how smooth she is. Love her hair, paintjob is great, love her skintone, she kinda "glows" and give the impression of an Inca Princess. Stand is simple but very effective and make the figure pop out.
What a great honor, quite impressive. Cant wait for the picture!

How sweet is this?? And isn't she so beautiful still?
Dearest Sasha,
Thank you so much for this wonderful memory!
Ampata was one of my favorite characters that
I had the pleasure to bring to life. I always
wanted my very own action figure and now
I have one!!! Thank you from the bottom of my
heart!!!
Always,
Ara Celi

Wow this is amazing! The figure is great, I love how you've done the effect on her arms.
That's so nice that Ara Celi posed with it. She looks like she's hardly aged! Such a beauty.
