Awesome feature!!!  I encountered the magnetic feature on the U.F.O.
Interstellar Starfighter but I never thought of  that as a way to attach
armor, Ingenious!

You've got to see this feature up close, cause, I guess it's the only way
you'll see it because it's covered in armor. ;-) What if you had put the
fiber optics around her neck?  Then it could be a magic amulet for
protection or something like that.  Just an idea.

I also made a skull necklace kinda Predator style. In the end both the cards and the necklace looked silly and didn't make the cut.

Nice choice.

Too cool Bryce.  Large and spikey. I especially like how her waist is just a
Bionicle body.  How do you put all that weight on one piece of plastic? I
didn't get a chance to really check her out at in detail at Brickswest  so I
want to see more pics!  More detail and one without the armor please.
