Character Dolls (based on fictional or other preexisting characters)

I don't currently. But I confess that I have always wanted to base a doll on Vanyel from the Last Herald Mage series by Mercedes Lackey.... Van is just such an intriguing character. I think he'd make a great doll!

 

In Japan, very often a manga is made into an anime, and then into a live-action multi-episode drama, like "Boys over Flowers," "Nodame Cantabile," and "Sailor Moon." (You can download the dramas fron the Internet, or buy them legally from YesAsia.com). My doll would be similar to a cosplayer, but actually an actress in a drama based on, say, Wallflower (Wallflower is only a manga and anime right now, but it would make a great drama if it was done right!). The drama would be a fun, ongoing story, but the actress would have her private life as well. Not unlike cosplay, but with more of a structure.

 

I have my boy Zero, who i based him and is... Zero Kiryu from Vampire Knight. its harder than i thought it was going to be (especially his outfit) but in the end, he'll be totally worth it, my next is Nabiki cosplaying as Ranma from Ranma 1/2

 

Mine looks like Kaname from Vampire Knight =3

 

I don't have character dolls because I prefer to create original personalities for my dolls. Even the closest to having character dolls is for my dolls to cosplay, but i do not intend to do so for now. But, my boy's name is from a manga (Asagi from Catergory: Freaks)

 

I dont have them yet, but I want to make a Zero from Vampire knight, a kyo frim fruits basket, and hermione (Emma Watson) from harry potter

 

i only make my dolls into MY characters

 

I have serious plans to make the F4 (From "Hana Yori Dango" a/k/a: "Boys Over Flowers"). In fact i've chosen my Rui and my Tukasa... I just can't find a good Sojiro and Akira (that are the same size). I started a thread about it a while back, but it got pruned.

Oh, and of course... I need to save up the money for these boys. I keep trying to save up, and then spending it on someone else (like my Volks SDC Ryu that's still not here yet) that I just *have* to have, and can't wait on (cause it's a limited or whatever).

 

My econd doll is going to be Roronoa Zoro. I wasn't planning on it but my friend talked me into it. ^^''

 

*power glomp* you rock!!! mold mold mold mold?

 

My wife and I and two female friends (one 17, and the other about our age) are into Japanese and Korean dramas, and our friends are really into the cute male actors, what series they starred on, what pop group they they started out with, etc. The live version of Boys over Flowers is even better than the manga or anima! It ran for two seasons. I got it from YesAsia.com for about $70 per season, but by now you can probably get it from Netflix or the Public Library.
Anyway, the same stable of bishi actors tend to appear in the Japanese dramas, so if you make dolls of the live actors from F4, you can use them as characters in lots of other stories, giving you the excuse to buy new clothes for them.

 

I currently have a Minimee Riku, who I really did try to make into an original character. But it isn't working, 'cause I look at the doll and can only think Riku. So Riku he shall be.

But, I've had...um.. Cloud from FFVII, Zack from the same, a Fullmetal Alchemist character and I think that's it. I didn't end up keeping them, because once I fell out of love with the series, I lost interest in having its characters in doll form. That said, the doll I'm waiting for now will be a young-child version of my favorite Death Note character.

 

d-D? Did someone mention Count D?! I got a tad carried away, it's just he's semi-obscure, but such an intrigueing character! I'm gonna go stalk down your pics of your doll now....*end freakout* He would make a damn good BJD with those eyes....*I lied*

 

I have both original and also a doll who is based on my favorite character of a game series I really love. It's Soren of the Fire Emblem series I wished one day I get the hero (Ike) of this series too, but it's quite difficult to find a perfect mold... Well, I already have one in mind, but unfortunately a quite rare one

 

I don't have one as of yet, but I do intend to get someone to be Kaname from Vampire Knight.

 

I never really understood this type of fan stuff, I mean I'm fan of chars ,anime too ,but I'll never do anything more then watch a series. Or perhaps make a rare fanart . I can't and will never like it when other ppl take these chars and start making up things for them, to me it feels horribely wrong becouse that person is not the owner of the character.

please note that this my own opinion, I'm pretty sure I always stepped on a hell of allot of toes with this ethic of mine.

 

...well, it definitely doesn't seem like the right thread to post it in, if you weren't trying to step on toes

 

I would love to have my own mini little Albel Nox and Fayt Leingod from Star Ocean 3. It's honestly a goal of mine. They're in my top 5 dolls to own before I die. XD

 

I'm planning 2 book characters and 2 manga characters (no details as they are only plans yet). And I don't want to do minimee even for manga chars, I want to find look-a-likes based on how I perceive them. But as I'm seriously intending to have 10= dolls of my original characters, those four will be a minority... and I'm doing a crossover (like in fanfiction) to bring all characters into my original dolls story ''

 

I've got a Mini Dolfie Dream, they are based of manga/anime or video game characters. Mine is based after Mayu Tamano from Rumbling Hearts. I never saw the actual show but I liked her pretty face so much I instantly wanted to have her. The seller (bought her of the Marketplace) sent me a video of her character. And it looks like it inspired me for the character she has right now. But I don't know if it's completely the same, maybe I should watch Rumbling Hearts sometime...
