Anyone have or know where I can find a good pic of the designs on the front of the Celestial Toymaker's dress?

How is the General Kudlak head attached? Is it a peg on the neck or on the body? Thank you

@JackKnight. Is this any good to you?

The peg is attached to the head/neck.

Thanks for the pic CGren. My copy of it isn't nearly that high quality. Can make out most of that side now.

And thanks Rdks. I'm sure all those pics will help tremendously.

Just need to finish sculpting Dodo now. Then I'll be painting them up.

Can you take the robe off the rassolon figure?

Yes. You can take anything off of any figure.

Are there any YouTube videos showing how to remove a Amy head?

I'm sorry to say this but couldn't you just look? It's not exactly hard to search.

I would imagine a boil and pop method would work on her.

But looks like her hair is to her shoulders and I did look.

If you mean the 5" figure, yes, it is green. If you mean in the movie, then no, it is black. Velvet, especially black, reflects light differently so sometimes it appears blue, sometimes green, sometimes brown, depending on what kind of light is on it and what colour is around it.

anyone know what i can make a back pack out of?

i want to do this.



probably more of a shoulder bag, but backback sounds cooler.

OK I want to make Prisoner Zero transforming custom. was wondering if there are any male figures in plain blue outfits.

The Captain Jack in blue uniform would probably be your best bet. (second one down)

Think Lazlo would work painted blue?

It's the same body, so yeah.

Thanks.

Has anyone out there made a custom Rory by sticking a "Robin of Sherwood" head onto a Roman Auton body?

Keith or Jany mentioned it at one point, and I was wondering if it looked any good.

NOT that anyone is willing to help me... but all I need is a few 11th doctor heads. Yeah might as well talk to Prisoner Zero!!!

Ever think that people just might not have any extras? All my 11th Doctor heads are attached to my 11th Doctor figures.

Ditto. Aside from the one I used on the custom in my avatar. (But then, I did plan out my customs then so I'd have no loose parts.)
