Dorklet Little Allison in…Roller Skating I!

When Moose Toys came out with Real Little shuz wave 2, there were funky roller skates as part of the offerings! I immediately became obsessed with kitting out all seven dorklets in roller skates. They’ve been sitting on my shelf, waiting for an opportunity to skate, for about a month, however. Today one of the dorklets, Little Allison, and her mom Elva got a chance.

Little Allison [who grows up to be the Allison in my recent Allison in Wonderland photoshoot] is a Jakks Pacific Juku Couture Kana head, repainted and rehaired by me, on a body that is Spin Master Liv from neck to waist, Obitsu 24 from waist to upper thigh swivels, and Spin Master Liv from mid-thighs to feets. This seems to be the best compromise I have found for kid bodies in other colors besides extremely white and slightly peach. Unfortunately, the Liv arms only have single-jointed elbows, but the tight, flexible Obitsu abdomen/pelvis allows for very expressive bending, curling, and crouching poses. This hybrid body can also wear shorts and teeshirts without showing any mismatching skintones. Plus the double-jointed knees are pretty decent.

Elva, Little Allison’s mom, is the black Curvy BMR 1959 head, aged, de-glammed, and given locs by me, on a Mattel Made to Move body that doesn’t fully match but I don’t care. She used to be the standard height, but I shortened her. I’ve finally found the secret to shortening MTMs. Instead of hacking through the thighs [which are solid and therefore composed of the thickest plastic on the doll], I now remove excess length from the hollow middle section of the abdomen and then from the ankles. You can significantly reduce the doll’s height this way with no harm to general proportions. In fact, the shortened waist helps the elbows and the hands to fall at more realistic places.

I made some bug super hero action figures

They are real bugs encased in resin (no insects were harmed—they were already dead when I found them)

Ant- similar to Ant-Man but obviously not a man, just ant

All the standard ant powers

This is based on The Human Fly (but not human, just fruit fly)

I personally love it when they use the third power to get caught in my blink

(btw I left an Ant figure on a miniature peg board at my local Target)

Christmas has come early. Here is the full 1/12 scale custom RTVS action figure line. It took about 7 months on and off to finish every figure.

To conclude the lineup, my last pieces of the project were worked on simultaneously, and include Logmore, Trog, Fin-Fin, and the Gamechimp.

Trog and Logmore were the most difficult pieces to do in my final project. Each figure is only about one inch tall. Luckily, I bought new sculpting tools to help me with small details.

Another thing I did was I went back and re-sculpted Baaulps face, since I was never too happy with my initial attempt. Thankfully I'm much more comfortable with the new results.

Thanks to RTVS for being an amazing stream group and a big inspiration. I still have a few more ideas I could possibly do in the future, but for now I'll focus on other smaller projects. Thanks to everyone for the support in me making these.

Wake up new T.V. head just dropped 📺

Cherix and TechNicole, finally together. I still haven’t settled on the exact nature of their relationship, although I’m getting more of a cousins or BFF vibe than sisters or girlfriends. Maybe they are like me and my cousin— BFFs growing up, as adults have a loving, “would help one another bury a body & take the secret to our grave”, “we’re family so we have to put up up with the other’s crap”, mutually alternating feelings of pity and jealousy, vaguely antagonistic rival relationship. The Licca-chan television and the rest of my order got lost in Japan for over a year. (It’s actually a really funny story. But also a long story, and I’m on the phone.)

@yami-yomiel @moodymouse-clubhouse thanks for the names!

People have odd reactions when they see a middle aged man taking photos of toys. I've been mocked, been escorted out of places, been laughed at, sometimes people will ask questions, mostly they give odd looks then change their direction to avoid me as if I'm a danger to them.

This day I encountered a group of four women; a grandmother, a mother, and two younger sisters. They were very polite. They asked many questions, did I make the figure? The horse? The clothing? How long did it take to assemble everything? Was I a professional? Could they touch? Finally they asked to hold the horse and rider for a group photo.

Sure I said, handing everything over to the grandmother before stepping out of frame.

No, no, they said, we want you in the photo! So I posed with all four, a big smile on my face.

It's one of the best encounters I've had in the 12 years I've been doing this.

More lighting experiments with my CW 2003-inspired Anakin and Padme figures. Imagine they are on a secret mission to Ilum, exploring an ice cave, then get snowed in….and 'have' to spend some quality time together. 😉✨

Third time posting this because Tumblr does not want to index it!

I painted Damian to look like how I draw him, and I got a custom head and painted it for Jon. It was much cheaper to get good figures by customizing ones still being produced than to buy the DC icons super sons figures!

I have two other Damian figures to customize. One I want a new head for and the other I would need smaller tools. I also want to make Damian and Jon fabric wire capes because Jon looks weird without his and Damian's blocks so many poses. I simply can't afford it.

Aren't they adorable? They both have scars and blush on cheeks and lips, and Jon has freckles, but my camera is not really capturing it.

Life update: I injured my back badly on December 30th, I have dental surgery on January 9th, and my birthday is January 28th. I want to write but ever since becoming freshly injured it seems there's not enough time in the day to do everything I want to do, and my brain is foggy.

I borrowed money from my friend to buy fabric to make a Damian to go with my plush Jon. I hope to get a good example photo and start selling pre orders on Etsy, since I can't afford the fabric without being paid first.

Happy new year! Today's the last day of Christmas and I hope you all have a lovely day. If you celebrated this year, I wish you the strength to put your decorations away in a timely manner!

hey doll people, do you guys have any tips on how I could possibly fix my Biff Dr. Girlfriend figure?

venture bros fans do not spend more than 40 dollars on these figures cause they are just going to fall apart I say this with love. My mutuals' figures are also falling apart... 💔😭

She is strung together with two rubber bands (left and right side through the torso) connecting her arm to her leg.

That little connecting hook broke, so I rigged her up with wire- except it snags on clothing :( so it isn't a great fix. I tried gluing the original plastic hook back together with e6000, but it immedately snapped again.

It also looks like her other hip joint might snap eventually so. maybe that will open up more options?

she broke because I 100% stressed the joint too much by dressing her in silly litte outfits im sorry ... every figure is a fashion doll to me... but i would like to fix her so the metal doesn't snag on clothing! It doesn't matter what the fix looks like cosmetically

Finished my 1/12 scale, 6inch custom @socpens action figure.

I had this 1/2 scale hoodie for a while and thought to finally incorporate it. I can't remember what the base figure is because I've had it for forever. The hair is made from cut pieces of a WWE figure. The project took about a week and a half on and off.

I bought these action figures and customized them because Nightwing was horrible

I used my nail polish to paint the dolls

Batman is the only one I didn't need to customize

In the end it was like this, now I just want a Red Hood and a Cass

THERE HE IS!  MY TINY LITTLE BOY!!

I’ve been working on him for a while now and I’m SO happy with the results! He is also my first fully sculpted articulated clay doll (or action figure? idk) 

Anyway, I made his outfit based on a description directly from my copy of the book and old illustrations, and I stylised it a bit; his golden circlet made with a old heart-shaped ring and I made his little cloud with yarn.

I’ll definitely take more pictures of him later, when the weather allow it.

Bonus: I’m not exaggerating when I say he’s tiny, here he is with one of my previous creation (Ruth):

Tfw you’re the greatest legendary warrior in history but you’re also the size of a 6 y/o child.
