Angelina Jolie OOAK repaint on Fashion Fever Barbie

This was a Fashion Fever Barbie head that had faded quite a bit – a few months ago I repainted her lips and teeth as above. In the last few days I decided to have a go at making Angelina Jolie in ‘Mr & Mrs Smith’ – I’ve tried Angelina repaints previously on Xena Warrior Princess and Maleficent, but never from a Barbie. Here’s the result after three days’ work with acrylic paints and a bit of pastel:

I also curled her hair and brushed it out before tying it up in a ponytail. I like the expression I’ve achieved here, eyebrows slightly raised to go with the smile – I haven’t seen that done before on an Angelina repaint. I think it works because this Barbie had a higher forehead than some.

I’ve found a Ken doll, so he will be next as Brad – I haven’t done a male celebrity repaint yet so that will be fun 🙂

OOAK Maleficent custom doll for sale on ebay UK

Maleficent and outfits by Lisa (Screen Kiss Dolls) on ebay UK

Listing text reads:

I’ve just finished customizing this 13.5″ Maleficent doll while recovering from surgery on a sports injury. I’m pleased with how she turned out and already have some interest, including from a friend with a shop – so I thought I would list her on here first at a silly price to gauge serious interest – if a similar offer comes from elsewhere, the listing might end early if she’s no longer available.

All the sewing (and painting of course) is by hand, as my sewing machine is more busted than I am (and I wouldn’t be able to lift it out of its storage place anyway at the moment!) 🙂

This Maleficent doll started out as an acrylic repaint I did on a basic character doll (see pic 12) which had a nice quality head but a very plain face print to start with. I then discarded the body which seemed a bit light and fragile, and replaced it with a far more durable 2009 copyrighted fully articulated Mattel Barbie Fashionista body, so she’s now a ‘hybrid’ and has the full range of secure head movement and other articulations (no additional neck adaptations required).

 

I took the wing collar off the original dress from the character doll, and customized the dress with some beads around the neckline, a petticoat frill made out of chiffon and lace, a lace train with beads on the hem, and some ribbon. I had to fit the dress velcro slightly better on the back (the whole dress is fitted to ‘swirl’ rather than hang straight), to go over the new jumpsuit with the wing collar attached, which I made from scratch out of black stretch cotton canvas dress fabric, and has beads around the wrists (a mixture of new and vintage beads) a popper fastening, and ribbon corset lacing (all clothing is removable, except for the original Maleficent horned head-dress).

I then made the cloak as well (from the scene at night in the woods in the Disney ‘Maleficent’ movie), out of black chiffon lined with anti-static garment lining, and knitted the fake fur trim out of 3 different strands of polyester chenille yarn before sewing it around the borders, collar and cuffs. I used hooks and eyes to make the cloak’s fasteners. I embroidered labels as well for fun 🙂

I stuck tiny craft gems on her fingers as jewellery using Araldite 2-part resin, and made her a staff out of a Toy Biz action figure fighting stick and the top of a plastic princess doll sceptre, stuck in place using Araldite again and painted black and metallic green before varnishing and double-securing with a short brown ribbon binding over the resin. The Victorian-style black boots came with the original character doll.

 

The doll’s face repaint is sealed with Super Clear matt acrylic model fixative sealant, and then glossed over the lips and eyes. She’s also labelled on the back in otherwise invisible UV marker.

 

If anyone actually bids she will be sent boxed & recorded delivery, or can be delivered in person locally.

 

This is my first proper full-on custom OOAK doll for sale, and I’ve really enjoyed it – took my mind off the surgery all right! 🙂

Monster High Cleo on Spin Master Liv body

This Saffron (Republica) Kung Fu action figure is a 1:6 scale based on a Spin Master Liv body and Monster High Cleo de Nile head.

The face tattoo I removed and re-blushed, the fringe painted acrylic red/pearl, eye colour repainted brown and re-glossed after fixing with Mr Hobby Super Clear Flat Matt, and the quilted Kung Fu jumpsuit I both sewed and appliqued/embroidered by hand. My favourite already 🙂 I’ll post a tutorial gallery on the outfit soon.

I’ve since had several commissions based on this one doll, so I’m really pleased 🙂
