The moment it was announced I decided that'd I buy an additional McFarlane Toys: Batgirl. Why? So I could "Frankenstein" her with the Batwoman Beyond figure (from the same toy line). The parts I'm most interested in are the closed-fist hands and the unmasked head.
These are my findings. If you do want to try this out on your own.
The reason why I chose the Batwoman Beyond figure is well A.) It is cheap and B.) The ML Silk (from Silk/Doc Ock two-pack) is kind of too expensive for my taste. But the other reason I chose Batwoman Beyond is because she comes with two alternate fist hands (Cass does not).
Another collector who wanted alternate fist hands (and feet) used the MT Rebirth Batman. Which is an alternate solution if you want your Cass to look comic-accurate rather than just unmasked.
The first thing I noticed is the left hand ball joint for Cass was too attached to the hand.
The simple solution to this is using the "hot water" method of putting plastic in hot water for 18 seconds (which loosens the plastic enough for the ball joint to pop off without damaging the plastic).
Once you have that solution the fist hands of Batwoman do work, but you may want to put some nail polish on the ball joint before you do. If not, the ball joint will be quite loose.
After that had worked, problem #2 reared its head. Cass and Batwoman Beyond's heads share two different ball joints.
Cass's is shorter than Batwoman Beyond. So I tried taking the ball joint out of Batwoman Beyond and putting it on Cass (hence the headless look).
It did not turn out well (Cass had an exceptionally long ass neck. So I settled with the ball joint Cass came with. It works but... you'll need the "tack" method to make it really work.
And as for the end result...
This Cass has alternate fist hands. She looks a little like the Artgerm cover to me. What do you think? I think for simplicity's sake? Yeah. It does.
