X-Men Volks & Obitsu Doll Collection

[Tira-chan]

Wow. Those are some truly amazing dolls. I'm blown away, and I'm not even a Marvel fan!

You guys really did some excellent work. I'm a looooong time X-Men fan and I especially loved your Nightcrawler and Angel. Rawr!

Thanks, Iwa-san!! :hug: Glad you like them! You're the best!!!! I think I agree with you on which came out particularly well, especially Psylocke and Rogue! I really love those 2!
Yes, they're so colorful, they do give the feel of the Marvel Vs Capcom game or animated series!!! I used to love to play that....

Thank you, Mlatch-san!!!! That means a lot, specially from such a great 1/6 collector/maker as you!!!! Doumo arigatou!!!! We've been wanting to do an X-Men set since 1996, so it's about.....14 years late! But better late than never, ne? ^^

Kim-san, Thank you for liking them!!! When I saw that wheelchair that actually looked 'REAL' and not hot pink or sparkly, I just had to get it for Prof! It's a Mattel item, not Barbie's, but 'Becky' from a few years ago. I was lucky to find one on eBay at a super decent price. I think I paid $6 for it, total with s/h! Thanks for liking Nightcrawler, too!! He was probably the toughest to make, because of his weird hands and feet! (Not to mention he's blue with pointy ears!!! Ha ha!) We bought a Marvel Icons 12" Nightcrawler figure, hacked off his arms and legs at the 'boot' seams, stole his poseable tail, and then screwed them onto a Volks EBN body that we had cut off the forearms and calf-down. He worked out really well and the Icons figure was poseable, so his toes move and his fingers, etc!! ^^ For Iceman, I was at first, just going to make his hands clear, and the rest of him in his 'human' solid form. But then, my sis was like 'the rest are all in their powered up uniforms!' and the clear Obitsu was just too good to be true for him, so......I wanted to use a rooted hair head though, and it didn't fit on the Normal Obitsu neckpost (Why don't they make clear bodies in the slim?!) so we had to carve it until it did. It's still kind of funny looking, so eventually, we might hack down the neck piece to be thinner but it'll do. I'm just worried if we carve up the neckpiece, it'll turn 'white' from the stress on the plastic, and not be clear anymore. I did buy a Regular Male clear head but it's not 'rooted' (has painted on molded hair) which I'm trying to avoid for him (as the rest of the guys apart from Beast & Colossus, and of course Xavier, have real hair.) But his face came out 'cute' so I'll probaby leave him 'as is' unless I get the nerve to try to carve that neckpiece thinner! Thanks again for liking them all!!

Thanks, Richila-san!!!! I tried to use different head molds for them but some do have the same ones and I had out my Marvel Overpower cards to reference for their eye shapes/styles, etc. I think Psylocke came out really wonderfully!! She looks so cunning and lethal, yet still gorgeous!

Doumo arigatou, maywong-san! I'm so glad you like them!!! ^^ :hug: Angel's wings were actually from the Marvel Legends 'Angel' figure! They are HUGE for the figure, and at first, I thought if the 6" figure could use them, they'd be too small for the 11" doll, but they're really not! We screwed them into his back and they're removable at the joint, too! They're super nice and I would recommend them for any 11" doll would wants a pair of archangel type wings!!! ^^

Moonstruckwitch-san, thank you so much!!!! I'm so glad and pleased you and your boyfriend like the dolls!! X-Men are so universal, aren't they? !! I love 'em! I'm happy you like Remy and Kurt best!!! They're our favorite characters! (I love Remy and my sister loves Kurt!) Thanks for liking them!

Tira-chan, thank you!!! That says a lot if you like them and you're not even a fan of the characters!!! :hug: I appreciate your kind words so much!!!!!! :hugs again:

embyquinn-san, oh thank you so much!!!!!! That's awesome to hear from a fellow X-Men lover! Thanks for liking 'Crawly' (as my sister lovingly nicknamed him) and Angel!! They are probably the most interesting, too, because of Angel's big gorgeous wings and the blue skin and tail/feet/hands of Nightcrawler!


Thanks everyone for your great comments!!!!!!!! The dolls are now residing in my curio cabinet (that the FFX crew used to live in) and they're so happy to finally be done and ready to fight evil!!! ^^

Amazing! I love all your dolliehs! They look great.

I've never heard of Daytripper, what does she do?

[delbelcoure]

Dang !Those are great I feel all nostalgic, seeing them. Nightcrawler and Petey were always my favorites. I love that you took all sorts of elements to make your dream dolls.
