Character Dolls (based on fictional or other preexisting characters)

i got in to BJDs to make all MY characters into dolls...but i ordered a Leeke D Bebe to turn into L from Deathnote. i is huge fangirl

 

I don't think I'll get one specifically to be a character doll but I do plan to make a few outfits for mine. I'd love to make her a Saber, Suigintou, or some Haibane Renmei costumes because I love the outfits. I guess she'll be more of a cosplay doll rather than a character doll.

 

My Johnny Depp minimee is on it's way!!!

 

Well, my Glorfindel kind of became Glorfindel on accident. I definitely didn't buy him intending to make a character doll. I wanted an Elf, and all my Elves are Tolkien-style. He just happened to have the exact same personality as I picture Glorfindel having (and the blond hair down to his arse probably helped).

I don't really intend on making any more character dolls, but you never know, it could happen.

 

I know! X3 Except I have yet to find an awesome Eve sculpt, so poor Doll-E might be alone a long time. I guess that's in character for him, though. ;D

 

I have a Crobidoll Thor girl that I customized as Souseiseki from Rozen Maiden and I really hope to get another dolls to customize as the other Rozen Maidens soon. I already kinda know what molds will be, I just need to find a new job to make the money I need

 

oops....do Minimees count? cause i already have one of those...i dont think of him as a character doll tho.

 

I have two minimees but I don't think them character dolls because they do not represent the characters they are made after. I always feel like getting a doll of an anime character I currently like but I don't think it would be a good idea because I'm too volatile.

 

I oroginally never wanted to get such an expensive item and then turn it into 'someone elses' character, but I'm going to end up doing it anyway.
I keep buying dolls with plans to turn them into my own characters, or give them a character once I get them, but they never seem to inspire me and seem slightly lifeless.
I'm a huuuge fan of Heroes and have been since it first aired so I have plans to start buying dolls and dressing them to resemble the characters and see where it goes from there.

 

I've got one Character doll...a Dollzone Yue, being the Dok from Hellsing ^^;
I also want to buy a second doll, being the captain from Hellsing...it's not only because I'm a fan, those characters also fit my taste. So it doesn't make really a difference

 

Well, I'd wanted to see if the Corinthian from Sandman could be done well as a BJD... but it turns out somebody already made one of him, and he turned out great! D: So my hopes are dashéd.
The more doll molds I see the more characters I think they could possibly 'play' T_T I've got a little textedit file full of who'd I'd cast for character dolls for this character and that. (Particularly Dracula canons, because I'm that kind of obsessive as well.)
And I have these weird recurring cravings that always end up coming to nothing of having a yo-sd scale Abe Sapien or maybe a really teeny sized Rorschach. Except I could never find a fedora on that scale, sigh...

EDIT: Also, dude, dude, dude. I want a BJD of the Warden from Superjail!

 

I have Toshiya the minimee, but does he count? (I just like his sculpt, I didn't buy him for teh fangirlyness lol)

I watched Labyrinth recently, and it all went downhill from there... I reaaally want a Soom Sabik to have a Jareth the Goblin King BJD
So, sometime in the future, yes.

 

Read your edit, and Omg. That would be the best. thing. ever.
I was joking with my boyfriend about dressing up one of my dolls like the warden; he just laughed.

 

I have a dollfie dream of Rei Ayanami from Neon Genesis. And i turned my DZ feilian into Reiko from the manga "Reiko the Zombie Shop". Everyone else is an original character.

 

Hahah, after I get all my OCs for my story Black Stars in doll form, I would actually like to get a D.O.C Twin-B to make a character doll of Rolo Lamperouge from Code Geass. ^-^;; Or maybe I'd do one of Belephegor from Katekyo Hitman Reborn... no idea what scuplt to use for him though. =A=||

 

I have plans to get a couple Minimees (Audrey Hepburn, Heath Ledger, etc.) and make them into certain characters that they have portrayed in the past.

 

Im going to be getting a MSD minimee of Toshiya. He's going to look adorable
I always wanted a BJD that looked like my favorite musician. Even my non minimee looks like Mana XD I gave him the lips and makeup to resemble Mana and he looks just like him lol Cosplaying BJD Mana

 

I bought my Reno minimee last week, and he is staying as the character because I have been a HUGE Reno fangirl since FF7 was first ever released

 

I'm preparing to order my first doll, but he's not going to be someone elses character. Every time I'm looking at dolls I keep finding ones that look like MY characters, rather than seeing one of my favorite anime characters. I mean, I suppose if I wanted to for some sort of even I could get Tanso to cosplay someone, but otherwise he's just going to stay as my character.

I feel limited by trying to use someone elses character who already has a set way of expressing themselves, and people get IRATE sometimes, if you try to make them grow as a character, because *gasp, horror* That would be OUT OF CHARACTER. >> Honestly. I'm as big a fangirl as any for some characters. Mostly bad guys like Sephiroth (FF7), Seifer (FF8), Muraki Kazutaka (YnM), Farfarello (WK), and the like, but using them and them expanding on them in any way always managed to make someone spaz out.

Not that I CARE particularly, but I get bored of defending my descisions. I'd rather just not take them out in public and my dolls are TOTALLY going to be attention hounds. >> Especially this one, the character just LUUUUUUUVES to be looked at and admired.

 

My first 2 dolls are heavily based on Eowyn and Faramir from LoTR - in fact, they basically are them, since I painstakingly try to make every last detail go accordingly to the book. I also have an Eomer type character doll in progress - he just needs his head. One day I'd also like a Lothiriel doll - but for her there will be a lot more capacity to imagine, since all Tolkien wrote about her was a one-liner in the Appendices.
