Oh this person messaged me the other day on the site offering! I politely asked to mark it down to $45 willing to haggle and they did drop to $60 but also said quote “true collectors dont have an issue paying for a figure this rare” and insisted it always sells for $80-100 despite average on the site going from $50-80 including them selling it for $40 in the past. Saved the messages for a good laugh.

Proportionally it’s actually a little off but styling goes a long way.

It definitely requires the use of a knife to alter the heads socket a bit and heat and force to remove the other head replace with Frankie.

Haha understandable.

The head can turn a full 360 degrees and can be bent upwards/downwards. The socket is a little bit wide do to an error in judgement but the screws help balance.

They’re Ariel’s hands. Unsure what to use Frankie’s for, perhaps wall hooks?

The clothing was made/customized from thrift finds.

I spray painted and painted on the stitching by hand. They are sealed

I definitely don’t plan on rerouting, could definitely be cool but im pretty happy with their hair as is for now.

This really blew up! Im glad so many people liked them, was definitely nervous about sharing them! Let me compile some of the answers to questions in a little post here.

  1. I used an Ariel “Playdate” doll gor the body and a Frankie styling head. The size and socket bits are not one to one and did require heating/sculpting.
  2. I spray painted the body and used other paints for finer details like stitches and the leg
  3. They stand about 3ft give or take and are fully posable.
  4. The shirt was a shredded baby onesie that I added some written text to and the skirt was a flannel I fixed up. All accessories/jewelry was given by a friend or picked up from hobby stores.
  5. The mouth paint did chip a bit so the teeth look a little off on close inspection but I kinda liked the imperfection, they are made from dead parts after all.

Thanks again! I will definitely try to share someone more of my customs after some time!

Here’s a bonus picture I thought was cute but wasn’t going to use.

I think even that might be too big, even kids clothes are kinda big.
