I need help with finding mostly lookalikes for Roswell characters  Here are some pictures - next to them I've put possible figures to use for them but I need your opinion!  if you can think of any others PLEASE let me know as I'm struggling with some of these characters  **this has been updated now - the remaining characters are the ones I still need ideas for!!** Liz Parker - Roswell: Charmed Piper head, lara croft head, buffy cordelia moore head, buffy cheerleader cordelia   I think Shiri Appleby (Liz Parker) looks a lot like Elena Gilbert from The Vampire Diaries if anyone has made a figure of Elena, it would be great to use for a Liz figure too!  Max Evans - Roswell: matrix Neo?   Isabel Evans - Roswell: battlestar galactica starbuck, lost kate,   Alex - Roswell: no idea   Ana Lucia - Lost: chronicles of riddick Kyra  Any ideas/suggestions for these characters & I would be so grateful! Thank you x |

I think Darla will work for maria. def mulder for michael. also *squee* for Roswell customs. I'm a Michael/Maria girl.
They did make Lost figures so if you could get some of those you would be set for Tess & the Lost characters.
Alex maybe an Oz figure if you sanded down the hair

Maria - FF4 Movie Invisible Woman either from series 1 or Rise of Silver Surfer. You'll want those Jessica Alba lips. Maybe even looking into a Max figure from Dark Angel.
Liz - MAC Drusilla human face version.
Michael - Smallville series 2 Impulse
Max - use one of the guys from Hunger Games
Isabel - Use a Buffy tVS Glory figure
Tess - MAC Darla
Alex - FF4 Movie Dr. Doom w/ Rotating Head.
Sayid - Yeah I'd stick with the Heroes Mohender figure
Ana - Yeah same thing
Desmond - Marvel Select X-Men Origins Wolverine figure - Lot of sanding down the original hair sculpt.

I was thinking of Vanessa for Lilah as I have that figure but I'm not sure... the smile on that figure is very strange and doesn't have a lilah feel too it... unless I sculpey over the teeth? But that might look odd!! Whaddya think?? |

To be honest I was thinking of doing a Lois Lane from Smallville where she wore that red leather suit and did that awesome kick. You see it in the credits for her. Yeah that outfit would've been great for a Vanessa base figure. Yeah I wish they did her without that goofy looking smile. If not you can always consider that FemBot. LOL!!!

 Vi: Maria Hill(Hasbro)Marvel legends, two pack or The wasp(Toybiz)Marvel legends. Caroline:Invisible Woman(Hasbro)Marvel legends, two pack with human torch. Lilah:Maria Hill(Hasbro)Marvel legends, two pack, extra variant head with long blond hair.  Jeremy: Oz(Moore)Buffy line or Scott Evil(Mcfarlane)Austin Powers. Matt: Human Torch(Hasbro)Marvel legends two pack with Invisible woman, or Sentry(Toy biz)Marvel legends, or Sandman(Hasbro)Spiderman 3, or Human Torch(Toybiz)Fantastic four series 2, or Norman Osbourne(Toybiz)Spiderman the movie. |

Road, the one's listed by MasterP are heavily Marvel Legends based and they usually are like $20 USD and up. It's going to be a big investment for custom figures. I was looking at ML Maria Hill for a custom Avengers figure of a Movie Style Maria myself and again she was offered only in the 2 pack and is going to be costly.

There are more options than get the whole figure, you can get her loose by ebay or you can get a head cast in custom forums, some people have the option of head cast for customizers, and the heads are very cheap in that way. Besides Maria Hill two pack has the two heads, in that case you will get Vi and Lilah at the same time, which won't be a bad deal after all.

hey guys!!! Right now I've been thinking mainly about the roswell characters in this post and what to use... I've decided to use these figures for roswell characters: Michael - the hunger games Gale (thanks to master pizza!) Tess - heroes claire (thanks customizer452!) or star trek yeoman rand Valenti - either spider man Norman Osbourne? Isabel - perhaps the battlestar galactica caprica (again thanks master pizza) or battlestar galactica Kat (again a master pizza idea... but just for a different character!) However I REALLY need some more ideas for Alex. If there's any 6'' figures of Tom Hanks then these would work (since the guy who plays Alex is his son). As a reminder, here's Alex from Roswell:  Please note that for Alex I need a figure with a similar expression as the one in this picture because of the scene I want to make. I'm also still struggling a little with Max & Liz heads. I've used a buffy moore cordelia head and she's worked okay but I also need a better likeness and a non-smiley one. For Max I was thinking of using a moore xander since it looks nothing like xander at all. But I'm still not sure... I've seen some buffy 'lie to me' Ford figures (same actor Jason Behr) and some people have used cyclops (msbig) and ghost rider blackheart (mango) but since I suck at painting... I may struggle with these! Let me know what you guys think |
