hey everyone or anyone who reads this not sure if there has been a thread asking this already if so please any mods get rid of this so my question is if anyone could help me with the lookalikes of Baby, Posh, Sporty and Ginger thank you Well back in the day they made a set of 4 with scary, posh, sporty and baby spice. They were action figure-esq. The only one that didn't look right was baby spice. |

Okay um for Posh I'm thinking Moore's Buffy, the nose reminds me of her a lot LOL. Maybe Clair from Heroes for Baby? And "Charmed" Piper for Sporty? That's all I can think of at the moment. :/

i understand elee but i'm asking for lookalikes to customize my own Oh ok, you didn't state before to exclude these. So I was not aware if you knew these already existed. Now that we figured out what your looking for: Cordelia the wish - posh Willow season 5 - sporty Fred - baby Cordelia slave - Ginger Kendra - scary These are head suggestion |

Here are some ideas :
For Emma, maybe a Buffybot head - you definitly need a smiling head for "Baby spice" but Dawn's head wouldn't really work so Buffy looks like a good choice.
For Victoria, "Victoria" from Twilight should work. Not just because they have the same name (lol) but because she has those little turned-up nose and her face shape is pretty thin.
For Mel C I always thought Drusilla's head looks like her, the problem is it's very small compared to the 2 others so it'll look strange. So maybe a Kennedy head ? Not sure for this one ..
And for Geri, well, that's the most complicate. She has those strange little nose and big cheek .. deluxe smiling Willow maybe ? Not really sure again ..

Um, be warned that if you venture too far off you will run into scale issues because based on some of these recommendations from NECA (TWILIGHT), DST (Buffy/Angel), MAC (Buffy/Angel), SOTA (Charmed), MEZCO (Heroes) - they all very in size and height. I would also suggest looking into the 3 female figures from Austin Powers Movies (Fembot, Vanessa and Felicity) - even if you don't use the heads the bodies are probably well posed for bringing your project to life.
Best to research all the recommendations and make sure they are workable together. Also one more advice is to start off with one at a time. Don't try to do all 5 at once and rush it. This is probably your first time customizing as well isn't it?

lol thanks Mango, of course Baby has to smile
and Elee yes this would be my first time, i've got lots of ideas just haven't had the chance to start any of them because i've been crazy busy
so i'm trying to first draw everything out, and writing down the body parts i need also the head and any accessories i want to add with them.
i'm just asking for ideas, and i will compare the figures and see since i do have all these figures on my shelf.
i also got a WWE Diva figure named Layla that would work perfectly for Scary, so i have to base all the figures to fit her height if i use her full body.
so thanks
any more suggestions i truly appreciate it

wwe divas are good idea as there are so much girls and different heads. Maybe you could make all Spice with those figures.
The only problem is their bodies which are too muscular.
But if you just take the head, you should be able to find one for all of them I guess !

You would use the headless diva body to make a skinny man, just sand down the areas that look like a lady. That's what I do with WWE figures. LOL

One for transgendering a figure and the other is destroying a perfectly good WWE figure. Also a little off topic sense we're talking about SPICE GIRLS. Also should you decide to work in the WWE Scale it is probably best you stick with all 5 girls within the same line. Then you're not worrying about height, size, and scale. It will be a lot of hard work on the facial likeness as I've seen some of those figures - so I do wish you the best of luck with this project. I do love me some Ginger Spice and was highly upset that they didn't make her a 6" figure. |

lol
you guys are too funny
i'd like my spice girls figures to look girly like how the girls were
but i have a quick little question they wore a lot of platforms so my question is should i sculpt the platforms or try to find figures that would have similar boots/heels the girls would wear???

I think this question is best asked when you decide on what base figure you are going to use. Based on everones recommendation it would seem like you will have to sculpt on some shoes. This is why u recommended using the original figures and you could do some head swapping.
To be honest, I had thought about doing a spice girls custom from their video holler where they dance together in the square. They look super hot n a light up base and a free raine to make Geri in the middle. The hardest part was finding the right figures to do them justice.

are you talking about those spice girls figures you mentioned before elee?
the idea i have for what i want to make it won't fit those figures, plus the poses on them are weird, Baby looks like she is touching herself and i'd like to not use them it looks creepy to me.

I was suggesting for you to use the legs if not the foot - so you don't have to sculpt the platform shoes or high heels. Not the full figure. |
