Character Dolls (based on fictional or other preexisting characters)

My next doll is going to be based on subeta's Jaxon Skelly.

He'll be a bobobie weylin, who I'm trying to get in the marketplace currently. He'll be my anime convention companion.

 

Thank you so much! ^^ It's actually not a coat--it's a furry blanket that I used to take her picture with since the only clothes that really suited her at first were underwear-type items. XD

Heh, Gankutsuou is a really great anime! You'd have to send me pics of him if you ever put together his doll! ^^

 

Aww, dang. It looks like a pimpin' fur coat... which reminds me, if they sell those for BJD I kind of want one. My boy's probably going to be cooling his heels in the default AOD underpants for a while, I'll be finding him exotic togas and such.

I've always thought Andrea-slash-Benedetto would make a smashing character doll- he's vice-ridden AND gorgeous, plus you'd get to set his wig in one big curl. And if there's ever a doll of the Count out there, well, he can follow him around like a sinister lapdog. But that's another thing both me and my mother have watched together, so I won't be able to set him up in any photostories without getting weird looks.
Andrea and Peppo all the way, yes?

 

Yes, and she is on the way.

Arlene is going to double as Larxene from KH:CoM... although I will be making Arlene be Larx's somebody, so I'm using the same doll, but they're different characters. :3 [Larxene doesn't belong to me, but Arlene[the character as well as the doll] does, just not the inspiration]

 

I love character dolls and I think they can be just as creative as original dolls. Just look at the many character dolls around, there are multiple Cloud, Harry Potter and Naruto dolls but they're all different because of the owner's interpretation of the character. My love for character dolls started with a love of Kingdom Hearts Organization XIII. Are there many O13 character dolls? Yes. Do I care? No. Because my Axel will be different from someone else's Axel because I view him differently and because I might highlight other pieces of his personality than others. I choose a mold that-to me-evokes the feeling of the character, more than physical features. I chose Dive Seimei for my Saix, so when choosing I kept a few characteristics of him in mind, like his long, thin face and his eyes..but it was the stoic, 'not impressed' look I got from Seimei that made him perfect for Saix in my opinion. I give him a clothing style that-in my opinion-fits him, but that's still my decision because we don't see him wearing anything other than his Organization outfit in the game. I write about him, highlighting the parts of his personality I like best and that made me intrested in him. It might be different from someone else, that's why he's my doll and my Saix. He's not even finished yet-still needs his blue wig, scar and elven ears and he's already Saix to me because he fits my image of the character. In that light, I think character dolls are partly your creation too, except you start from a different point than you do with original dolls. Some things are already filled out, others you decide yourself.

I'm having a lot of fun with recreating these characters in dolls, I originally intended to only have my three favorites(Xemnas, Saix and Xigbar), but I'm definetly getting them all now ^_^ I also have one doll who is named after a manga character(Sumiya's named after the main character from Hoshi no Yakata), and they share a few personality traits but I still view him as my character. Vasiley is my only completely original character, but I love all my boys equally and I find I'm creativly involved with all of them, just in a different way.

 

Awesome on having a Saix and Xemnas! Good luck getting Xigbar. :<b></b>D

 

Yes and no. I kind of really want a Luciola doll (from Last exile) but then, my doll will end up being a cosplayer anyways -because there are way too many cool outfits in anime and manga and I feel a deepseated urge to OMG MAKE THEM ALL- , so I figure maybe he'll just cosplay Luciola instead :3 We'll see~.

 

I have an character doll by 'accident'.

Sir Andrew Rosen is an orginal character by myself. He was in an rpg I was playing with Hellsing365. At the time I introduced him, he was a minor character who I didn't expect to last, so instead of making up his own appearence I stole a picture of Squall for the ease of it. Sure enough, he ended up becoming one of my favourite characters and thus into my first doll. So, his faceup/colouring looks like Squall, though I still think of him very much as my Andy.

I do want to get him a Squall outfit sometime in the future though.

Here's some pictures of his face-up, though he is in a rather funny christmas outfit my friend made for him.

 

Mine's based off of teh vocalist Kyo from JRock band Dir en grey. xD;

 

Thanks! Congratulations on your Larxene too, I love her character, can't wait to see what you do with her ^__^

 

Someday (if I ever get the money to do so) I have serious plans to make a classic SH2 Pyramid Head (Silent Hill 2) I would LOVE to have him, and I already know someone who is willing to make him, it is just the matter of getting the $1,000 USD or more to pay to have him created.

So expensive....but saddly, I don't know if I will ever get the chance to have this done, seeing that I just don't have the budget at the moment, and even if I did, I would be going towards my DZ Yuu first, and then that...​

 

First and foremost, I'd love two dolls based on my OC and her boyfriend (an InuYasha wannabe >.>), but as that's not up for discussion here...
I've love an actual InuYasha doll and a Sesshoumaru doll, as well as a Kotoko from Chobits or a Shinku/Suigintoh[sp?] from Rozen Maiden. Even though those three are not characters I particularly are all fangirly over, it's just the idea of having them as dolls. n___n
I wonder what a Chi (Chobits) BJD looks like...
I would also love a Kenshin (Rurouni Kenshin) doll...

 

For about three hours I was seriously considering taking an Iplehouse Cocori and making her into Fran from FFXII. I really love Fran and I think Cocori is a beautiful doll, but not something I could readily/easily bond with unless I did something special to her. I'm still really considering it, but that'll be way into the future.

 

I just ordered a Dollzone Linlan with a faceup to look like Urd from Ah! My Goddess. Finally

 

Ooh! Fran. I wish there was more Fran stuff out there. She's so cool

 

i have many plans for my doll to cosplay- but even then it will just be my n in a special outfit !

 

While i do like seeing character dolls just out of interest, I would stick to original characters since they are your very own and are the creation of no one else. ^^

 

Kaozuel is an individual character, but based on other characters, if that counts

I love the silver haired remnants from FF Advent Children.... but I wanted my doll to have it's own story.... so whilst he is a remnant, he is not one of the film characters....

Did that make ANY sense???

 

I don't own one yet, but the one I want [hopefully a DIM minimee] will be based off someone - yay permanent cosplay!

 

Currently I don't own any character dolls. However, I'm planning to make an Organization XIII cosplay for my boy for a convention I'm going to in August since we're missing Vexen (and that just really won't do). At some point I'd also like to have some based on the dolls in CLAMP's Angelic Layer; at the very least, I'd like to have a Hikaru and a Wizard. That probably won't be for a few years, though.
