Character Dolls (based on fictional or other preexisting characters)

A couple of my dolls were bought with the intention of making them character dolls, but I found that I just didn't bond with them the same way I did with dolls whose characters I created. So all of my dolls now are my original characters.

 

I've got one but it's very second plan character who wasn't really developed in canon and I added a big amount of information myself (some of it even doesn't match canon, but I don't feel like I care, even though it's probably bad xDD ) but I still voted because he still isn't completely mine as there vere a couple of thoughts.
I think I will get about 3 character dolls in the future, also the second plan ones.

 

I plan my dolls based either off the stories I write or sketches I draw.

 

I personally would never base a doll off another character, but I do see some and a lot of them are really cute. c:

 

I always liked the idea of taking a few characters and putting them together into one character and letting them sort of play out their own story, if that counts. I want a Pierrot doll from the old Italian theatre

 

I answered a Yes, because at least part of my dolls charactes, and especially the names, are of preexisting chracters. But they have my own twist of events, or simply own characterisation. Like an fanfiction author writing extreem OCs.
I have a Lucius Sevarion M. ---- as in Lucius Malfoy with a major OCness (not canon, no where canon, but blond, grey-bleu eyes and royaly screwed character and diva complex)
A Severus T. Snape, for whome I keep Rowlings ideas and add my own thought to it. (Eileen Snape is such an underdeveloped character in the books...I just gave her some more (?) motherly love????)
Loki started out as a nors god incarnation and got to be the Marvel movie cursed by Odin because of extreen pranks Loki,with matching wardrobe project......and shifting character.
Jean...historical characters counting in right? So yeah, Jean Armand du Plessis de Richelieu was once the first minister of France and is now sitting dollyfied in my home. Ah pardon, Armand Jean, he had to switch his first names for cover.... -.-' And no, not inspired by Dumas.
See it as historical fiction....
For the heavens, even Louis, my rolling head, has a names giver. He is to obsessed with sweets to have any other similaryties to said giver, besides physical existance.

So yes and no, I have charactre based dolls, with my very own twist. Playing by others rules is not my thing at all, geting massive inspiration is^^.

 

I don't currently, but I've wanted to have a Kakashi Hatake character doll for a while

 

I've been really wanting the Levi doll from IOS but I know I can never afford one.

 

I have the intention of taking my MNF Mirwen sleeping head & have her eyes moded open. That sculpt reminds me of Natalie Portman & that is how I want her to look. Then I want to make her costumes from the Star Wars movies, different favorite animes & some original design cosplay

My best Dolly buddy has got me started on the Dark Hunter book series by Sherrilyn Kenyon. There are a few characters I'd like my current dolls to cosplay.

She on the other hand has a cute demon "Simi" doll, and a "Nick Gautier" doll on layaway!

I'd also like a few of my current dolls to dress as Kuyzo from Samurai 7 anime & KaKashi (spelling Sorry!) from Naruto :p

I do not have a character doll yet, but I intend to have one at some point as I delve more into this hobby.

 

I have to admit that "character dolls" are some of my favourite in this hobby to look at, because different artists choose different sculpts for the same characters and they all manage to make incredible looking tributes to their source inspiration! It doesn't matter, book, movie, anime, cartoon, comic...I've seen amazing tributes galore!

 

The only character doll I wanted was the volks Jack Skellingtom one, which made me want to cry and curl up into a ball after looking at the price... x:

I plan to have a character doll, but not permanently. Maybe to have that doll just "cosplay" as the character. I still would have that doll have his/her own personality or style, but just occasionally dress up. I got into this hobby because of the customization, knowing that my doll may be the only doll that looks like that in the world. Though I find that the process of making a doll fit a certain character is interesting.

 

I'm really excited about the boy I'm saving for-- he will be a character doll, but because his character doesn't have very much physical description (as a narrator who never looks at himself and who is talking to people who know him anyway, he doesn't ever need to describe himself!), the way I plan on styling him is very different from most visual interpretations, so I think a lot of people will probably not look at him and recognize him as that character even if they're familiar with the fandom.

It kind of tickles me to have 'stealth' character dolls-- I don't see any reason to hide that they are, I just think it's kind of amusing when they slip under the radar.

 

Lemme guess -- Cecil Palmer?

 

Haha, yes. I feel such a connection to that character... (and between all the time spent on fanfiction and fandom RPing, well... it's come to not seem weird to me to spend a lot of money turning him into a doll)

 

I'm currently (very very very slowly) working on making a cosplay of Madoka Kaname from Madoka Magica for my kdf... I dunno if that really counts as a true character doll, since she'll still be the character I came up with for her, but I'll consider her like... half a character doll! Since she'll probably end up wearing the costume a whole lot if it turns out well. Her faceup and body are suitable for the character and I had a wig that could be easily made into Madoka's hairstyle so I figured I'd try making the costume.

And my holy grail is a Volks Suigintou... If I can't get my hands on her then I might just set out on making my own Suigintou doll ^ ^; She's my favorite character from one of my favorite anime so I'd really like to have her in resin form.

 

Someday I'd like an MSD Rue and Ahiru from Princess Tutu, and possibly a Tim Drake/(Red) Robin.

 

I don't have any concrete plans yet but I think it would be really cool to have a doll of Sabriel or Lirael from the Abhorsen series. It would be so cool to have a tiny bell bandolier for the Sabriel doll. But the costumes and accessories might be kind of hard to put together. I also think it would be cool to have a doll of either Utena or Anthy from the Revolutionary Girl Utena anime series. I actually already have a doll in mind that could make a really good young Anthy. If I run out of my own characters to make dolls out of (which at this rate may never happen ) I might try one of these.

 

There are two characters I desperately want to create- they are Morpheus from the Splintered trilogy and Poppet from the Night Circus book But it seems my own original characters usually get preference over them.

 

I'm in the process of making a DD Lacus~ I really love the idea of making character dolls, and definitely plan on making more down the road
