Here are my submissions for the Halloween Challenge! Anya is made from a regular anya head and a Buffy II body...Xander is just a plain old Xander figure with the new stuff sculpted on top. I am really happy with them! I have almost got all the halloween customs covered now...just a few more left! I think i need to blonde up Anya's hair. You can't see the blonde highlights in this pic at all...but i think it needs more.   Here is 12" Buffy...i repainted her face, and then took in her hideous leather pants and then gave her this super cute Barbie shirt. i thought it looked really similar to her Season 7 school counselor shirts...   Here is Willow. I repainted her face ALOT and then gave her a cuter outfit from the barbie collection. I think it works well for her. I also repainted the huge sneakers to look more like the ones worn in Dopplegangland.   These sideshow figs are all on ebay now..go get em... |

Be still my heart! Alyrenee, those are all incredible. Where do I start?
I think the most amazing improvement is the Willow figure. The original Sideshow is so hideous. You have made her gorgeous and sweet! You have definitely worked a miracle there. What an incredible likeness. Did you resculpt her hair?
I love the Faith figure. The clothes look fabulous on her.
I am just knocked over by your Anya and Xander figures. Anya looks exactly right, and even more beautiful than Emma looked in the episode. You have a unique gift for sculpting hair, especially curly, feminine hair. From my feeble attempts at it, I've found one of the more difficult customizing skills to perform.
The more I look at your new Anya, the more I think that with the right hair sculpt and paint job, her head could make an ideal Harmony.
What parts did you use on Xander and Anya?
Your Buffy paint job is lovely. Her shirt is too cute! How fun to be able to use Barbie clothes on these figures. Buffy's pants look much better. All that talent, and you sew too! Wow. You rock, Alyrenee.

Thanks!
anya is a regular anya head and a Buffy II body. I sanded down the legs a bit to remove the folds from the pants and the crease down the front of the legs. You can't see it in the pic...but I even sculpted that silly flower bracelet she was wearing.
Xander is just plain old xander. his pants should be puffy...but i hate losing articulation so I just left them be.
I did not resculpt willow's hair. Its exactly the same.

oh I love them all anya and xander are so cute together their likeness is perfect I can't believe how you manage it to get such a great likeness with your paintjobs buffy's weird legs work really well for skating anya the sculpting on them is very good how did you made xander's earring ? and 12" buffy's paintjob is drop-dead gorgeous as well as willow's ! I liked faith's old trousers more then the new one (but thats just a matter of taste) |

Xander's earring is just plain old clay. Its supported by the face and the red head scarf.

Great job on all the figures. You've done an amazing job. I really think that they should've made a "All the Way" Charlies Angels Anya, and I really hope that they make a "All the Way" Pirate Xander. Faith, Willow and Buffy look amazing. That really does look more like a Faith outfit.

That Anya works crazy well, especially given what I would think would be a troublesome choice for a body! I always love Halloween customs, and these are really top notch. The Sideshows are all much improved too, although I feel like Buffy should have some more whites showing on her eyes. That studio setup you have makes all of these look gorgeous too!

Those are fantastic customs, Aly!
Anya and Xander are incredible. The outfits are fabulous, detailed and very well painted. And the bodies were excellently modified.
Buffy and Willow also looks amazing. Willow's likes is incredibly improved and so is Buffy's. The outfits looks good on the figures and each outfit fits perfectly with what they used to wear on the show.
Way to go, Aly!
