Theme comicbook/superhero/villain/graphicnovel-inspired dolls - cosplay

First shots of Bruce so I justify chat.


He needs a better wig eventually (but then, as Batman he won't need a wig at all...) and I plan on reworking his faceup tonight....since this body fits in nothing that I own he's in his workout gear. And barefoot. Though my shoes all fit him just fine.

AND finally I got my hands on the OE Carter head!!


What's fun is one eye is still bigger than the other! Ha!

As soon as I decide I like this faceup, I'll wipe the other head and do "battle damaged" Joker.

 

Joker is supposed to be 6'5", I think. Bats is, like, 6'3". And I'm also obsessed with heights! lol!

Like, I'd just never think to shell them with MSDs but it's so perfect. How's Dr. Crane coming along anyway?

 

He has a face!


And Penguin has a suit


I have Riddler now (no pics)

And if you look at my lame photo story on flickr you can see everyone in "Arkham", even Penguin who shouldn't be there. Seriously don't expect it to be good. and It's a lot of orange.

I didn't post it here - I figured, violence bad.

 

I've dyed several things....I started off small tea dying, then I dyed some wigs. Then some clothes. I went crazy with Joker's green hair. I think I dyed that stuff 5 times or more. DHL sucks and didn't leave their clothes, so I should get it today. I have green, orange, purple and red dye waiting - red for one glove. One. - and will be hopefully doing gloves, shirts and vests since Riddler and Joker can share a lot of that. Because everyone must wear the same colors. Unfortunately I realized two of them being Unoa's have fused fingers :\\\ I'll have to find alternate hands so they can have the gloves. Hopefully they fit!

I had problems with what I thought were easy casual clothes when I had an EID. All I wanted was a polo shirt and khaki pants! That's it! And they didn't exist. I gave up on him. Dolls who can't sit or stand without mods don't do well in my group.

LOL I was looking at pictures of Man-Bat the other day and wondering how I could make him a doll! Then I regained my sanity. If I'm going to do extensive mods on anyone it's going to be Two-Face... MORE SUITS!

I'm going to add this (bad) photo just cause this is a pic thread

 

Lol I'm just picturing man-bat stuffed in a suit XD Hilarity. I wish those EIDs posed better - Bruce would look so boss on one of those bodies, but yes, I too can attest that they are a PITA to deal with, not to mention the clothing issues. Thor's lucky he's pretty but tbh I'd be hard pressed to buy another IH.

I like your picture too! The colors look great especially.

I thought I might share the a picture of the heads I have for Bruce and his birds:



Left to right: Bruce (IOS Jade), older Dick (Granado Andy), younger Dick (BlueFairy Sarang), and younger Tim (BlueFairy May).

I wanted the young versions of them to be cuter, so I went with BlueFairy. I still need to decide on one for Jason. I think it kinda shows my dilemma with Dick tho - his head is so small next to Bruce's!

 

I think the Akagi body is a good choice for Gambit! I can't wait to see how he looks on it - he's always been my favorite X-Men! The Gambit and Bishop miniseries was one of the 1st series I went out and got every one of (back in the day when it was new...). I feel the same way about making Marvel dolls that you do about DC. I'd love to, but oi, that's a whole 'nother kettle of fish... I need to see more of that Evol body, I've seen that 1 box opening too, but I've been fooled before =_=!

These aren't really character doll pictures, but I got some really cute super hero hoodies from TaoBao. The seller had lots of other characters, I had to stop myself from getting the Green Lantern one (my gf got a Red Hood one out of it )


MSD Tim Robin, Nightwing, and SD Batman. The MSD hoodies are a little short in the sleeves


I didn't have another MSD who would wear one, so here's the Dick Robin one >w< They're all really cute! I want them alllll. For no good reason.

XD I also gave Tim a quick Flock of Seagulls 'do. 90's Tim ftw.

 

Okay! I promised @VampireAngel13 I'd take a photo of this once I finally had a second. Jubilee finally has her yellow trench coat! Thank you so much! It makes me smile every time I look at it.



You can't see it in the photo but she does have her signature blue short shorts. I don't have that pink crop top yet though. She's just got something from TTYA right now.

 

The Riddler
[



Harley Quinn

They're getting there!
I'm so excited. I'm making Harley's oversized mallet too. Figured out how yesterday.

 

Where on earth did you find that wee green suit?? Did you make it?

 

Not sure if anyone read the Alternate Universe Marvel comic, 1872, but I made some Western outfits for my Sheriff Steve Rogers, Deputy Bucky Barnes and Blacksmith Stark

 

I spent all day yesterday working on props (for a meet today)...something I have never done before. I feel so crafty. Sadly I have no pictures yet (ha). Maybe tomorrow...

Giant Joker says hi

 

Thanks to my friend who makes their clothes I now have Harley to go with!



and

BATMAN!!!



I have to figure out how to do a better job of making his belt, but for now that's what I gots.
and a crappy meet-photo of all of the minis with all my crappy hand-made accessories! (Riddler's stupid staff broke TWICE yesterday. He's on my list.)

 

This was such a fun thread to look through. I've sold two of my Young Justice dolls and have boxed Bart, but I never posted photos of them here other than the initial post back in 2008.

Kon (Lati Rucas) version 1, who I had for years:


Here's Bart (Unoa Lusis) and Kon (Soom Cuba) version 2. I was really pleased with their height difference.



Tim (Narin N406):



There was also a Jason (Lati Khan) at one point:


Really bad old photo of Kon v1, but there's all Cass (Supia Yisol) that is still around:

 

Joker celebrated the arrival of his "official" body by playing with all my shinies at work.

 

He still needs a trench coat, but my Gambit is coming along. Some day I'll find red on black eyes that actually show up in photos.

 

Started work on Shatterstar 2.0 today. He's an Island Doll Norse Myth Odin head. No body yet. He pilfered one from Remy for a quick photo.



@Buff, do you wire all your dolls?

 

@BlitheFool Shatterstar looks great! I think 2.0 is a perfect mold. His faceup is lovely.


Harley modeled for me over the weekend. Speaking of wigs, she got a new one after I found it in my box.

 

In the meantime, the IOS Jaguar head I had bought the same weekend as RD Norman Dark (because I couldn't decide which would work out better) now has a body thanks to a well-timed trade.



Needed mods and they don't match at all, but who cares! lol (not meee)

And this one because he's still my favorite


And the little ones because they cutes. This was not my fault. It wasn't even my idea.... I only have these three....my roommate is doing the other JLA members and a few baddies. Blame her.



I cannot wait until the eyes I ordered get here - pretty much all the dolls I just posted are getting new eyes. They are here, I just don't have them yet. :\
Stupid work.

 

I know he's blank but I love this picture

 

Its been so long since I've been in here, words fail me, guys! So many fabulous dolls, guh...I've toyed with the idea of turning my Jaguar into the Joker, but the SO said please no lol.

I've some sort of disgusting flu, but prior to getting too sick to do much of anything, I started working on a little something... I think you guys might be the only ones too have any sort of appreciation for it lol.


Random old head I never liked + too much apoxie mixed from a commission = hello Mr. Dent

His normal eye needs some work, and I'm trying to decide between painting his bad 1/2 green or purple/red/puce.
Can anyone guess what he was originally?

 

Faceless Lex Luthor!! (I just gave him a faceup but I don't have a picture yet)

 

I just got a boy who is intended to be a young version of Leonard Snart (Captain Cold), based on the TV version:



His wardrobe is still a WIP (I need to find the perfect blue parka, which is a little bit of a tall order when you're talking about BJD clothes :p) but I think he looks pretty good so far~

My girlfriend has his partner-in-crime, Mick Rory (Heatwave) but I don't have a picture of him with his faceup yet.. fingers crossed I get around to that, maybe when their big clothes order comes in at the end of this week (hopefully).

 

Thread resurrection!



@roserising I love that you have Captain Cold. My best friend (who makes my doll's clothes) has a tiny one. He makes for an adorable doll lol

 

my first mod happened to be the Joker.

 

She got a few extra FPs when I went to Doll-A-Kon.

 

Well for those wanting an HQ doll, rRabit seems to have made her jacket XD or at least one similar enough that they did a wig to match!

My big girl doesn't need one - she already has.

 

Still trying to find the right body to mod for him, poor Groot.


Trying to find something that fits the criteria of: a)cheaper, I'm basically completely covering the body. b)thinner, I have to add some bulk onto it to create the texture. c) stable, something that stands/poses fairly well, don't want him taking nose-dives every time I move him
Thoughts? Ideally something in the 55-60cm range any larger and his head won't proportion well.

And wow I need more superhero dolls in my collection! Damn ya'll, damn!

 

Aw, Groot! I saw him in Buffalo! He's so amazing

Dollmore's Adam body is the only one I can think of. In the torso it's actually thinner than the DC Youth boy body and WAY more sturdy, 57cm tall (with head), and has locking knees. I keep mine strung tight with thick string, and sued the chest and hips and that's it. As far as posing goes, the knees aren't double-jointed (which is why they don't buckle) so they won't do any pretzel poses, but I don't think Groot is very acrobatic? It's also a thickly made body, so if you do need to carve, you can.There is no thin resin anywhere.
That's all I got. Good luck finding one for him! I would love to see him finished!!

Here's a pic of Joker just because it's a picture thread



and my WIP of Two-Face, who will also need a body eventually...

 

Sorry for the Double post, but it's Batman Day.

My big Batman isn't quite finished, but, preview


The little ones, owned mostly by my roommate @NannaElle (Batman, Joker and Catwoman are mine) threw Batman a party.


And of course any good Batman needs groupies.


John is not a comic character. I guess he could be, if I made one. But he's just a guy who hangs out with the Joker on my shelf because they're the same size and they share clothes.

 

Took a bit, but got a few pix of my doll I made into Klarion bum bum bum the Witch Boy. (Though I can think of worse days then Halloween to take photos of witches)

Here is my dolly version of Klarion, he is sitting on my action fig two pack of Etrigan and Klarion from the 90s Batman cartoon.


And here he is judging the action figure harshly after steeling the mini Teekl for himself.

My version of him mixes bits from all the comic book and cartoon versions of the character, thus having hair with locks shaped like horns, his looking 13ish, the having eye make up and not being blue. (even if I love the blue version as well peach is classic)
I still need to get him his own Teekl, a cool black jacket or robe, and a little bit better fur wig would also be nice. However he is mostly done and I love him as is.

 

Congrats, @Tippetarius !

I airbrushed my Emma Frost yesterday. I needed her NSY head to match Dollstown's Copper Oriental. Amazingly, I found a paint that was a near perfect match. She still needs a faceup but I'm out of MSC...

 

Just get her some eyebrows, don't care what color the lips are! hehehehehe

 

lol! @Buff. She does have a sort of Marilyn Manson thing going on now with the no eyebrows. Or maybe David Bowie. Hah.

@VampireAngel13 - Thank you! Man, I am so jealous of 80 degree weather! It's not bad here though. I think it's nearly 50 today. Which ain't too shabby for Massachusetts in February!

 

We just had our best weekend ever in the STL, not just for winter lol...like ever period..and I got to work on some dolls finally.

Two-Face got a faceup! The face is done, but I will be attaching permanent hair on him (like so many of my other guys) so he's not done yet.

Spoiler: Gore Warning

I plan on doing his neck and hand too. Just not right now lol.

 

I love your Harvey so much, @VampireAngel13 . Any progress on his hand and neck?

I spent the weekend working on these two:




Storm still needs eyelashes and her signature lightning bolt earrings. Emma needs better shoes and a cape. Comic dolls projects are never ending. Hah hah.

 

Everyone's dolls look incredible!!! I was wondering, do you make the clothes or do you get them custom made?

 

@momoqt - My folks all wear store bought stuff. Sadly, I'm not much of a seamstress!

 

@momoqt I make all the costumes because their 'hero' costumes just aren't available, except for Loki! There is a company on ebay that makes a Loki outfit. I made mine because I wanted it to be more accurate, but the one on ebay is pretty good.

 

Mine are a little mixed. All the super hero costume spandexy things are made by my roommate. She also made my Mini Penguin and Riddler their suits, and my SD sized Joker's halloween suit and movie cosplay. All of Harley's (both sizes) outfits she made (I did the accessories and shoes). All the SD sized Joker's clothes other than stripped suit, were bought. John Constantine and the Riddler's stuff, all bought (except Constantine's jacket - she made that).

 

And double post....But I have to leave this here.

The Riddler!



And this guy. Who is also a DC character.



I'm behind on photos, I think I have a lot of new ones I never posted.
Also this



My Joker is usually so well dressed this just looks wrong XD

 

I got my Moon Knight in decent enough shape for photos.



He's uh, not in costume. XD (because he doesn't have one yet)

 

My smaller group cosplaying at a meetup

Superheroes and Villians by clochette62, on Flickr
Katie (CH Raffy) as Harley, Kodiak (BC Judy) as Storm, Dawne (BC Pepe) as Black Cat.

 

I really just wanted to see if there was anything new in this thread...but here's some Constantine. Before I redo him. Just his hair and faceup, everything else will stay the same...(and my photoshop "magic")





I am in love with those Ringdoll hands.

 

yeep I hate double-posting. But I'm bringing this back with my "new" ones.

Sort of. Also my photos are terrible right now. Sorry.

New Riddler and Penguin (Gotham tv show inspired but still count.)
Gotham by Vampire Angel13, on Flickr

These guys are spoilers for gore

Two-Face, who I think I posted but he's kind of more a doll now.

Spoiler: GORE

Two face by Vampire Angel13, on Flickr

and this guy, also a mod

Spoiler: more Gore

Eyes by Vampire Angel13, on Flickr

 

These look really great, guys! I love the little wee Storm. hehehehe And Constantine looks awesome!
I finally finished up Hulk. Heavily modded Titan Awin.





Now I just need to remake Tony's armor. I made it once, but it tore up too easily, so I'm going to make it over again out of leather and that should make it sturdy enough.

 

Speaking of villains, I have Kylo Ren.

 

@Buff : Here is Rex's WIP thread: /threads/star-wars-a-clone-troopers-armor-finished.767290/page-3

The pictures in there are not that great, as I usually take them quickly in front of my kitchen cabinet.

 

And I have also General Hux. Kylo Ren is no good villain without the General.

 

My terrible phone photo of my Villains being villainous

 

After a couple of crazy weeks I officially have everyone (mostly) done. I have a few tweaks (Poison Ivy needs work - her faceup was fast and during not great weather, utility belts need to be made - they're temporary. Two-Face needs a suit, both Batman and Harley are probably getting their outfits redone eventually), but that's really it!!

of course that doesn't count the three that have no body and are nowhere near done, or even here in one case. Cough.

Here's the whole group.

Tiny Justice League is mostly owned by @NannaElle who did about 95% of their clothing.

I took actual photos with a real camera, but keep forgetting to edit them....

 

I have only one superhero inspired doll, my boy Ben Weir is inspired by Dr Strange.

 

Where do you guys get the clothes? Because I have Captain America in underpants right now. He seriously needs clothes.

 

@Spuggey You need to make it yourself or find someone to sew it for you. Most of the outfits are under copyright, so finding a licensed outfit will be difficult. So far I only know of one licensed doll; the IOS Dr Strange doll (the outfit my doll has is from that doll).

 

if you sew yourself, the person who makes my outfits has had good luck sizing down human patterns. Both Harley and Batman were adult patterns.

 

Yeah, I get that but most seamstesses don’t seem to do that kind of thing & my sewing is abominable.

I can sew really basic stuff really badly. That’s it. There’s no way I’m going to be able to do an outfit like that & it’s hard to find soneone who does that sort of style.

 

Oh hi



He needed a refresh, so I updated his faceup and hairstyle (again).
And as you can see, he's a lot happier.

 

How are everyone's dolls coming along? I need an update!

Ryu

 

I have a new Poison Ivy again (#4)

We lived through Batman Day
Happy Batman day by Vampire Angel13, on Flickr

and Joker and Harley dressed as Georgie and Pennywise for Halloween

And now that I've seen Birds Of Prey Harley needs about 10 new outfits, a new faceup on her other head and I want a Black Canary.

 

Hello comic friends. Over the last few months I've been slowly working on adding two more comic-themed dolls to my group.

One I don't have a decent shot of - Superior Spider-man
So far he only exists out of costume (I'm modding a permanent Spider-man costumed head)

Superior Spider-Man by Vampire Angel13, on Flickr

He's a modded Bimong Narin N61E on a Dollshe 28M L4 (also modded so the head would fit) that's been in the works for over a year (I had to wait for the body to arrive). I have a lot of work ahead of me to finish him, but his uncostumed self is done.


And Punchline - a DC character so new I started working on the doll before the character had a full appearance in the comics XD
She's the Joker's new henchwoman (and possibly girlfriend)
This is the most updated pic I have of her, but she's a little further along than this now.

Punchline by Vampire Angel13, on Flickr

She's a Dollmore Eva Louise (who was my third Poison Ivy) on the Impldoll Star body everyone has used at this point. I sort of got the idea and went through my stuff to see if I could make her without buying anything. I had to buy her boots, hair material to make the wig and purple material and that was it.

 

I will keep this thread alive if it kills me

Ringdoll Norman dark by Vampire Angel13, on Flickr

Ringdoll Norman dark by Vampire Angel13, on Flickr

Punchline is essentially done, I need to take some actual photos of her.
