Making the rounds on FB today was this upcoming NECA figure of Ripley from ALIEN (middle).
At 7" tall, she'll be about a head taller than the Matty Venkman.
But look at this face.
Tell me that wouldn't totally work for "You are so odd."
So the problem will be finding a SIX-inch tall female body from some other toy line that will work for Dana from the neck down.
Here's what that outfit looks like from head to toe (sorry for the quality, it's grabbed from a deleted scene). Dig the possibly red shoes:
And a better quality shot from the finished film, though we don't see her entire frame.
Shoes also look red to me in this earlier scene, in which she is wearing the same costume. It's easier to see in motion than in a still. (The wrap is removed at the apartment right as Venkman says "What a crime.")
If I can make a decent Dana using this NECA Ripley head, I've got most of the parts lying around for this outfit for Venkman.
Therefore I put it to you guys... who can think of a six-inch female action figure with a somewhat similar sculpt to that outfit?
UPDATE 1
I didn't collect Star Trek figures by Playmates... how tall is this holodeck Beverly Crusher?
UPDATE 2
This listing describes her as 6" tall.
The legs are probably a good base, the arms might work alongside Matty articulation-- though I'd probably replace the hands with something more feminine.
But the blouse should be tucked instead of over the skirt, and the head appears to be one continuous sculpt with the torso, so the collar would have to be resculpted when it's removed.

What a knockabout of pure fun that was!
