Drusilla Doll customs and other displayed customs

[Girl Power]

I've been getting a bunch of requests for more pictures of my displays and custom collection. Since I've made a few Miss Edith customs and Buffyville/Val has made me two also, I figured I'd put them here.

Val made the blue and green dress Miss Ediths for me.

Here is part of my Spike and Drusilla Lair display. It has a bureau with Miss Edith's dolls, which is how they were displayed in her bedroom in the one episode in which they appeared. Yes, that's Dru's dead bird on the bottom of the bird cage!








Here's that corner of my display area where Spike and Dru's lair sits.


Here's a season 5 Willow I touched up with Anya hair and sculpted widow's peak.


Here's Willow with Alyrenee's Drusilla. I gave her a makeover, making her hair bigger and eyes larger. I also lightened her skin.


Here are Restless Willow and Tara, made by Mrs. John McBain, a board member who has not been active on the board since last fall. I can't wait to have Ice Cream Xander to put between them! Right now I put them in a corner of an extra Charmed attic display in which I put a mini portrait of the Charmed sisters.





Here's Alyrenee's Pylean denim Cordy


Alyrenee's Grooselug! I love him.


They both sit in my Pylean display:


Here's a little area of just small displays:

Close-ups for the shelf:
Alyrenee's Becoming Darla





Giles' apartment:

Giles' Weapon chest, which I made from a little unpainted box from Michaels:


Here's the mini candies in the bowl on Giles' fireplace:


Angel's Alley:



Close-up of Cordy. I just painted her shirt red, widened her eyes a bit, and made her mouth bigger and redder.



Close up of my jacketed FFL Spike. I made him myself with Just Rewards Spike's jacket, and a regular FFL Spike. .
I'm especially excited about his base, which is a Luciano sewer base from the Underworld series. Finally, a sewer base!


I have more, but I have to go out right now. I'll post the rest later.

Wow! Great collection. I love the Miss Edith dolls! I can just imagine Drusilla on the floor playing with them. All your displays are amazing and wow Aly's Darla! She is just so stunning. I love the pillar display!

[firerancher]

All the pics stopped at the Miss Edith dolls for me... =(

[Lior Knight]

Wow...very impressive stuff you've got there, Girl Power!

I love those Miss Ediths...they look neat and would add a lot when displayed with a Drusilla figure.

[Girl Power]

Can other people see the pics after the Miss Ediths? There are tons of them.

In the long shot of Dru and Spike's lair, you can see that the birdcage and Miss Edith bureau is right between my vamp Dru statue and regular Dru statue. So they are definitely displayed with Dru! I have two other Drus in the lair, as well, my custom Dru and Mac vamp Dru.

Thanks! I like to make them a little brighter, so they really pop out from the shelf. But not as big as Sasha's eyes. I try to make them pretty defined, as well.

What I've noticed when meeting the actors in person is that almost all of them have HUGE eyes. I think it must be something that casting directors look for. Even Danny Strong has these gorgeous doe eyes in person. I think that people with big eyes come across more on TV, or something.

I don't like when figures have squinty eyes. The first Charmed series had black lining inside their eyes, which made them all look kind of pig-eyed. I redid all of their eyes in my collection.





This was one of my first customs. I just put a Charmed 1 Phoebe head on Anya's body and painted the top a more solid, shiny pink, then painted the eyes.


I just put a variant Charmed 1 Paige figure's torso and head on Season 2 Darla legs. I like i. I also painted the eyes. eyebrows, and lips.

[buffyville]

Maria these are great, You have real talent and an eye for detail!!!

I didn't realize that a couple of things had fallen over in the display. I'll have to take more pics tomorrow.

I need to take close-ups of Wolfram and Hart. Every time I tried today, the table shook, then Fred fell down and her leg broke off!

[Illyrobin]

I LOVE your custom displays, I always look at them and think I want that one, that one and that one etc!

The alterations to the Charmed figures eyes are brilliant, and significantly improve them.

You have such a great collection! And I love all of the displays! The little Dru dolls are so cute.

[The Second Evil]

Wow, Maria! Those dolls are so cute. They're really fun and it looks like they've all got different distinctive features and personalities. Really great! ;D

Awesome displays too! My favorites are the ones accompanying Victorian Darla (One of the most beautiful pieces, I have ever seen! ) and Giles' Apartment.

Great work!
