Character Dolls (based on fictional or other preexisting characters)

I have 2 dolls who are minimees who are going to be original characters who will cosplay characters they have been (Alice from Resident Evil and Leonidus from 300) But I have a head that isn't quite right for the character but I'm seriously thinking of either turning him into the character or basing him of him.

 

I only have dolls that are influenced by my own created characters but I have been thinking a young Hannibal (like from Hannibal Rising) would be awesome.

 

I have been thinking of doing a doll from one of the artist BROM's drawings. He is an artist who does a lot of Dungeon and Dragon drawings. There's a certain drawing called "little miss muffet" that to me would be a great doll. I just need a sewing machine that would go through leather.

 

I am generally not interested in recreations of other people's characters, having a head full of my own, but I would like to have a sort of alternate universe version of Yuuko from Xxxholic, just to dress her in similarly amazing outfits and take photos of similarly lovely sets.

 

yeah i have one on his way but it not somthing i do normally

 

You know what really annoys me? Seeing the characters that I hated the most from a certain medium, be it book, anime, movie or whatever. This is all just personal opinion -- but god, my skin crawls when I do come across minimes because I just wonder, why the hell would you want to embody all those horrible traits into a doll?

Just, no. No.

I mean, they didn't even personify the cool characters.

But yeah... generally, I don't think I would base my doll off someone else's creation. It's kind of like, well, I have enough of my own little ideas for it, why waste the money on re-creating someone else's vision?

Mind you, the last thing I obsessed over fandom wise was Teen Titans, so eh. But even then, it would only be so I could make Raven and Robin hook up and take photos of them and then post them all over Starfire/Robin boards for the lulz.

 

Late to the party here, but you seriously rock. I've been considering dolling a Teatime, too...and a Susan to keep him in line. xD;

 

That would be MADE. OF. WIN.
D:

Thanks ^_^ You'll probably end up with a set before I do, though, since I'm still in student mode and I keep on lusting after these other dolls to boot. I know which doll I'd use for him, too-- and which set of eyes.
Never thought of a Susan, though, but that would be fun ^_^

Victor right now is shaping up to be reminiscent personality-wise of one of my favourite characters from Les Miz-- one of the Frenchboys-- ahem, Amis de A.B.C. (Frenchboys just rolls off the tongue, though.) He doesn't appear to be a fanmaker, though. Sigh.

 

I'd want a Gackt or Miyavi doll since I LOVE these artists so much!

 

Ahh for me it's a love-hate thing... I can understand a devotion to a character, but unless someone can really pull it off, I think it can be a bit off-putting That being said, I have been planning (for quite some time) to make two Gelfling dolls of Jen and Kiera from The Dark Crystal.

 

I have the Medicine Seller (Kusuri Uri) who's from Ayakashi (Bakeneko arc) and Mononoke. I actually bought Medicine Seller's head with the intent to wipe his face-up and turn him into one of my characters...then I watched the shows and fell in love. XD I also have a Minimee of Sakurai Atsushi (Buck-Tick) and he's going to be just that. XD There are some other characters and people I wouldn't mind having dolls of, but I'm focusing on my original characters for now (all of my other dolls are OCs).

 

OMG I wanna a Kusuri uri-san too he's the one and only character doll I've planned

Right now he's my favourite anime chara ever XD But I'll gonna make him on my own

 

Hmm... I have some pretty serious plans for a character from Naruto (yes lame, I know). Actually a lot of it is already planned out. But I'm waiting to get some other dolls before I start on that project. And I'd likely have to make the clothing and stuff myself and I'm not very good at crafts like that, so I guess we'll have to see. But if everything allowed and I had the money, yeah, I would totally do that.

 

None of my dolls are based on pre-existing characters though I have borrowed some names from the Deryni series. One of them, Alaric, even ended up looking quite like the character but he's a completely different persona. I really have never seen dolls that look like my favorite characters from books & my gang tend to dictate their personalities to me upon arrival.

 

All my doll ideas tend to be original characters that are dear to my heart from role playing campaigns in the past. There is a sculpt that if I had thousands to spend on dolls, I would get two and dress them up like the Hitachiin twins from Ouran, but it would be low on my priority list.

 

I was play a game, and I just totally love the character in that computer game. Now I am thinking to look for a doll that look alike him and ask if any customizers will do the face up....

So, I just want to know, do you ever want to buy a doll that is look alike to the character (from Animation, Comic, Game) and make him or her become that character? If you do, what you will (or were) do?

 

Yes, I have one that is a character from a TV show. In my case, there happened to be a minimee group order for the actor that played the character so I got his head that way. The faceup I did myself, and I had fun looking for his outfit and some accessories (though I'm not quite done yet--there are still some things he needs).

 

<.< honestly i try to stay away from character dolls as i tried doing this before and the doll just didn't stay with me for very long, BUT I have been thinking of getting a migidoll ryu simply becuase I was so stunned by the awesome look of the main character from the game Last Remnant who I swear jaw line, nose, eyes, and lips look flawlessly JUST LIKE a migidoll Ryu

 

Same thing puremilktea, I want my first one to be based/inspired by a singer I love, in fact that is why I wanted a BJD in the first place.

 

Well, all of my planned dolls are/will be character dolls... Omi and Aya from Weiss Kreuz, Gong-gil from The King and the Clown, probably also Lui and Camus from Meine Liebe... Oh damn, when I get Okita or Hikaru Genji some day, they are gonna be Okita and Genji haha On the other hand they will wear moder clothes so yeah...XD I am just not interested in creating OC, and I do want my dolls to have personalities, so I need to steal them!
