I cut one of my PG Buffy's hair to give her a new look and now need some suggestions as to what outfit she'd look good in. She's currently "borrowing" Faith's clothes but Faith isn't too happy about it. I'd like suggestions from season 2 but they must be something with long sleeves and pants - no exposed limbs!

Maybe you should change her to Hush Buffy's clothes.

Like both of those ideas, especially The Becoming one! Don't know if I could do the coat - probably need to start with something easy because not exactly a seamstress!

Aww, she looks awesome! And so cute! I agree that making her a set of clothes from Becoming would be amazing. Or maybe you could make her the outfit from Anne? (Power Shot where she's holding the Hunga Munga).

Do "Anne" Buffy, her hair looks perfect for it. Both hair cuts look great, I would suggest adding a little color if you can, since the blond is so un-Buffy.

That would be perfect! Just have to figure out how to do a sweatshirt with a zipper and pleated pants! Don't know if I'd want to attempt coloring her hair - was terrified enough with just attempting to cut it!!

For the sweater, I suggest doing the fabric, then glueing on the zipper, to make it look real, but not actually have it work, cause, that can get very tricky. Does doll hair even color? Yeah, stick with the pale blond for now... and maybe in the future you can play around with it.

of course you can. if i can im sure you can. what you have to do is get your hands on a Graduaton Day Buffy Jacket, get some pearly blue fabric paint and then paint away. i used regular acrylic paint on my GD Buffy and it didnt crack or peel. so mix up a blue with a silver and paint away wayne

ive heard that you can colour doll hair by using watered down acrylic paint. ive never actually been successful but if you can straighten the hair like tht, im sure you would be able to colour it wayne

Could you stain it?

yeah it doesnt lol. but the paint does. i have done it but the hair went clumpy. i suppose the idea is to wash the hair with conditioner to soften it, the add the paint, atleast you can get good highlights with a brush, then whilst it dries, comb it, i suppose. but it should work wayne

Wow, the haircut looks great. I may have to get a PG Buffy to play around with this. I have the exclusive version, but I kinda don't want to cut her hair. Maybe get a GD Buffy, like other people have said, and paint or dye the coat? You could always trade the figure and any clothes you don't use to customizers if you don't want them.

Thanks for all the great suggestions guys! I think I'm going to go with the "Anne" costume idea. I don't think I'm going to mess with the hair but I had thought about possibly food coloring doing the trick.

'coloring' her hair is pretty easy if you don't try to dye the hair, but simply add different hair. instead of rerooting a whole head, you can add hightlight/lowlights to change the color to the proper blond. just follow these directions home.freeuk.net/pewty/tips/reroot.html

Thanks for that link Koipond, don't think I'm up to that yet but I was always wondering how it was done!

if they have a brown Manic Panic dye, that will work; I stained Barbie dolls' hair with purple dye, and it held really well...just don't leave it in too long. RK

My goodness, PG Buffy looks lovely with the haircut! In fact both of your figures in your photo look so much nicer now than with the "original" hair. How did you get it that straight? Did you actually blow dry it???
