Character Dolls (based on fictional or other preexisting characters)

I'd love a doll of T-elos from Xenosaga, or Akiha from Tsukihime.

 

I love character dolls and do, in fact, currently have one--my DD Aeka, a character from the Visual Novel Yume Miru Kusuri. I'm also currently planning another character doll--Cyborg 004, Albert Heinrich, from Cyborg 009. When I still had Max's old Obitsu shell just sitting around doing nothing for a couple of months I dressed it up like him and found out that having him around was super fun, so I decided "why not" and now he's firmly planted next in line. (Not as an Obitsu, though, too much stain risk.)

A lot of people seem to not want character dolls since it'd make having the doll really restrictive in terms of dress and character, but I don't mind any character deviations that occur very much. (Besides, in terms of clothes, nobody wears the same thing all the time.) Aeka's character now thinks she's a Saint and wants her own "gat" and purple "street gear" so she can go jump out of a helicopter and claim her own penthouse crib, but the heart's still there. XD Besides there's no figure of Aeka and I don't want to pay $200 for 004's RAH figure because I don't like his redesign so...>>;

 

I want so many characters from series and movies! Especially Snape XD

 

I've always wanted a Snape! :} I love Snape.

 

Not yet ! Maybe in the near future when I have saved up money and maybe if there is a zorro (one piece) doll out there !

 

I want to depict the characters from author Elizabeth Boyle's books from 'The Bachelor Chronicals' I will have to start with the various gents costumes since I will only have one doll for a while LOL Eventually some different heads to fit the charactes details (facial looks... as at least one has a scar). If I can find the right collection of body types I may try to do them separately. A couple are refered to a short (for these men that means 5'10" - 6', she has a thing for men 6'4" i think lol).

I have actually mentioned this idea to Elizabeth and she looks forward to seeing her characters as doll ^^... anyone ever done a doll of someones character and showed it to the original creator?

 

My bestie has a Luts Kid Delf Bory that I made up as Zoro. She needs to get his swords, and I haven't done his earrings, but he looks awesome if I do say so myself.

Way back when I first voted on this thread, I said I had serious plans for one - and now I'm on my way to four! Not counting the OT 1/6 obitsu dolls, of which there are many.

I eventually got my Dream of Doll Tender Yen to be Himura Kenshin. He was later followed by my Luts Kid Delf Ani to be - of course - Monkey D. Luffy. And Nikki and I couldn't let him be lonely, so Zoro followed after. And now I think I've settled on a Luts Super Senior Delf Landy to be Clark Kent.

Here's to stopping with the many costly character dolls after that!

 

I've decided that if I am still interested in this idea once I get dolls for all my OCs (four technically five but I'm willing to wait on the fifth since her ideal doll shell is a Soom Vesuvia in bronze resin, which was only offered as a special order and would require me to find someone who a, got a bronze skin Vesuvia and b, is willing to sell it) I'm going to save up for and buy a doll to make into a Homestuck character. And then have photoshoots with all the characters that go together, and the one character that just does not belong.

 

Heeheeheeheehee. Come to the dark side. We have cookies.

 

This depends on what your definition of "the dark side" entails....

 

The little cadre of us that own Homestuck dolls. I'm a horrible enabler. XD

 

Ah, I see well, who knows, maybe in a year or two I will also have one.

 

I don't have character dolls, nor do I have plans for any. However, I think doll cosplay would be neat, and I like looking at other people's character dolls!

 

At least half my guys are character dolls. I get really attached and invested in certain canon characters more than I do with OCs, and thus I want to make them (that and a lot of the characters I like are obscure and hardly have any merchandise anyway).

Granted some do start taking on their own traits, and at least one is a very AU version of the character he's supposed to be.

 

I wanted a certain anime character in BJD form even before I knew much about BJDs. I watch a lot of anime but only own one series, and he's the lead. I have him and his partner in crime/ girlfriend planned. They are both characters from Darker Than Black. I also plan to create Hagi from Blood+ to be eternal guardian of a embodiment of a childhood friend I lost. Those three will be my only look-alike characters. I also have a couple 'inspired by' ones planned. I intend to let them evolve beyond their origins in terms of relationships and personality. I have no interest in making the characters from my novels into BJDs, adapting anime characters will be a lot more fun.

 

I thot about this after my original post... while it still stands that I want to do up dolls as existing book characters my Marauder kinda comes with a vague character sketch... I plan on trying to develope it more fully (maybe make up his lady love that the company blurb aludes to.). Though and actual name seems beyond my imagination ><...

 

Agreed, a Snape doll would be awesome!

I've never really considered owning a character doll myself, I guess I like my dolls to be more individual or something. I love to look at character dolls that people have made though.

 

I'm not usually into Character dolls, until I saw Burrysa from boy and girl doll and I knew right off the bat I wanted to make Ultimecia from Final Fantasy VIII. I don't mind other people having dolls based off main characters I think it's pretty interesting so there's no limit personally

 

So apparently, way back when I voted on the poll here (without commenting), I said "No, and I have no plans or desire to."

That apparently didn't work out so well for me. The vast majority of my dolls are still my Original Characters, exactly what I'd planned for when I first joined the hobby, but I now have three that aren't shelling any particular character, one who is a fandom character doll, and another one on the way (with plans for more in all three groups). And I definitely wouldn't call any one group easier or harder to work on, they've all had their challenges as I've owned and worked toward completing them.

But in contrast to what I originally answered? I've now got plans for plenty. Which I guess goes to show that we never quite know how the future will change our plans!

 

I'm obsessed with making a Link and a Zelda doll. Problem is, the sculpts I was thinking of make Zelda quite a bit bigger than Link, haha.
