All the Villains

Remember how I said I was working on Harley Quinn?

Harley Quinn

 She's a WIP still - I need to work on or redo her faceup - it was done on a day I should not have been doing faceups and is messier than I'd like (some of the mess was done deliberately, some was not. XD). The wig she's wearing is a Monique Jojo in white blond (Alex's) in a 6/7 and I swear it's too small for her. I always thought Unoa's wore a 6/7, but thinking about it, both Macchi and Clover have on 7/8s. So maybe not. She needs new eyes (those are gappy) and lots and lots of clothes. Lots of clothes. I have a list of props I want for her too. they all need props!!

 She works great with Joker.

  Joker-Harley1

She's on my Dollmore Judith body (Isis is not gone forever - I'm definitely keeping her head...but while I'm on this DC kick she won't be making anymore appearances), which is a PERFECT comic book girl body. I mean perfect. I actually had said that the first night I had Isis, after taking her out of her elaborate full set and playing with her a little. Her head is the Unoa Sist Bully plate. I have a Lusis Yawn plate I borrowed from a friend she's going to use as well.

She's very camera shy. The first day I had her together I posed her and Joker all over the place...and they were great. When I got out my camera she refused to even stand next to him. That pic took forever and it sucks lol

Joker got an Arkham uniform (version 1) so he can do things like sit around incarcerated.

Joker-Arkham3 

 Also the cards. Might be a tad small, but they're better than the alternative which are giant. Sad thing is, I don't believe this deck has an actual Joker in it :(

  Joker-Arkham2 

 And my photoshopping!

  Joker-Arkham1-2 

 I freaking love him. He's so much more fun than a super-expenvie action figure! 

 And he's spawning more.

 I've put up pretty much all the resins I intend to sell in the last couple of weeks - and it's a lot. I have a huge list of trades on each thread I'm trying very hard to stick too, and the very first thing I sold was a partial trade that included a Unoa FP and a Fairyland Minifee Mir head. Mir was the down payment and shipped last week. After he shipped, but before he arrived, I realized for sure that he wouldn't work for what I'd intended.... At the same time I was offered and turned down a trade for a doll not on my list, for another item I was selling.

I was looking at Dollzone's Benjamin, a very unique sculpt, and trying to decide if I needed one to possible be the Scarecrow....but I figured it would be a shame to cover that face with a mask....and he'd do better on a DC body. And omg realized what I'd done in turning down that trade only about an hour before.

So for the first time in my life I pmed someone and was all "I'm so sorry for changing my mind but would they still want to do the trade?" Yes I'm a flake. But seriously. This will be the prefect Scarecrow. PERFECT. And I didn't think about it at all until it was almost too late. *fail*

 While I was waiting to hear back from them I realized who Mir could be.

Anyone watch Gotham??

PENGUIN

My camera hates him. Obviously he's even more a WIP than Harley. I am 100% sure he'll work out though - with the right faceup and wardrobe. And again, props (these villains need so many props!!! WHY?!). He's on a temporary body, but it might end up being permanent - it's an odd shape for him and he fits it weird. Mir has a very long chin and the head just eats all necks - even with the FL neck key (which I'm using). It works for this character however - he's a little on the awkward side. The body is also SHORT.

Joker towers over him, which is how it should be. Joker is also wearing his "at home" wig and looking like he crawled out of bed for this picture D:
EDIT: he also got his new eyes today!! I have to take some pictures....they're definitely different.

So with another hairs cut, better clothes, a faceup, eyes...shoes (he's barefoot)...pretty much everything, I think Oswald Cobblepot will be a thing. I have glasses at home I need to look at - cause he needs some version of those too.

Since I'll have four of them I thought it would be fun for them to all have prison uniforms together....except I remembered Penguin has probably never been in Arkham...being sane and all. He'll have to settle for Blackgate greys. I'm sure Jonathan Crane will look good in orange.

Since I'm obsessed with these guys right now I haven't done much with my other dolls (other than disassemble some to sell - poor Wyn. He's a head in a box!!), but due to horrible weather it's not like I can. I have a few things on order: another possible Captain Kirk head, chattering teeth and eyes for Joker, eyes for another doll, an umbrella and a purple zombie lamb hat...but that's it. I am hoping to scrape up the money for bodies for Wyn and either Sage (yeah, another new body for her) or Spock or Kirk or Gabriel. Assuming Kirk works out when he gets here. Fingers crossed. I don't have a back up this time. D:

  1. Oh they look great! I love their outfits and that orange outfit makes Joker look even more menacing if that's even possible! That face up on Joker ... so freaking good.

    I only watched a few episodes of Gotham but didn't really like it a lot. I don't know what it is about it, a bit more violent than I like (same reason why I stopped watching the Daredevil series).

    1. Thank you! I love him in the Arkham outfit...he's out of it now but I want to redress him already.

      Oh yeah, Gotham is so very violent. My boss and I both watch it and we freaked out day after the Fish\eye scene. I can't believe it's on Network TV at all, let alone at 7. But it got really good several episodes in - which made me happy since I'd been looking so forward to it and was thinking of dropping it right before it got better. Mostly because of Penguin, but other things too. Though it's still super violent, so if that's not your thing, stay away. Especially from the eye thing.

  2. Harley looks awesome! And she goes great with your Joker! I've never seen Gotham but I started looking into it after following your link and it looks neat! your other guy is adorably short and looks amazing too! Joker's 'at home' wig is great too! I really like the ombre effect on it!

    1. Thank you! Gotham is one of those shows that started off kinda meh to my disappointment, but then there was an episode (and I swear I can't remember which one or even what happened) that really made the show go 180 and turn good. Just one episode and I was dying to know what happened next, and it just got better. It's the only show I'm excited to watch this season - and I'd really like to binge-watch the first season again to refresh...I recommend it...but again, first several episodes get a little redundant. AND it's super-violent. Like seriously super-violent. I still can't believe it's a network show.

      I wish I had time and weather to do penguin's faceup. I really think Mir is a good mold for this - I'm dying to know if I'm right lol
      And thanks again! I'm all about pastel on wigs right now! XD
