(Just, like, with lower production values from somebody with less free time who\u2019s too lazy to set up photo backdrops now.) I know this has been a drawing-only blog forever, so if this bothers you I can always move to a side blog.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Anyway! My main project I\u2019ve wanted to do for a while was improving my OC dolls (shocker). M characters based on dolls no longer look that much like the dolls, which is weird but okay. Tennant here is definitely the most strongly linked to the doll but he really needed a body upgrade because I hate the awful shoulders on the 1999 poser Kens, plus I wanted a wrist on him. I thought about changing him out to the newer Fashionista Ken body with a hip mod but I only have two and felt kind of bad about chopping an arm off a perfectly good one. I saw the shoulder mod <a class=\"tumblelog\" href=\"https:\/\/tmblr.co\/m-V1qvogZeRai9np8guBF-Q\" target=\"_blank\">@dolljunk<\/a> did on one though so I thought, hey, I\u2019d try it out on his original, already-broken body and worst case scenario, I don\u2019t like it and do the new Fashionista.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So, this was the result. Cracking the torso open took 80% of the time and was awful. I don\u2019t know what kind of glue is in there, but all but ONE peg broke clean off instead of coming unglued ever. Half the outer seam just had to be dremelled open, so his sides are a mess now. Thanks, Tennant. I also chopped off the hand and drilled in a Dragon one, which was super easy (although only like 2 out of my big eBay lot of action figure hands were even close to a color match), and tried dremmelling the elbow joint, which made no apparent difference in posability. (I tried.)<\/p>\n<p>The shoulders were pretty easy. I expected to have to make new shoulder wells but I didn\u2019t. I just dremmelled out the outer part of the shoulders and put the arms back in deeper. The leather twine (which is just what I had on hand) makes it a tight fit that can hold poses.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In the end I added some hot glue sueding to the shoulder and torso joint which made it even uglier but works fine. I\u2019d like to pretty the rough edges up sometime (and I made a mess of some things I didn\u2019t have to, like the left arm, oops) but for now he looks way better in clothes than he did before.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Re-repaint coming up next.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I haven&rsquo;t done it at all lately, but seeing recent and nostalgic stuff from @oak23 and @dollsahoy has given me a serious itch to start doing\/posting some more dolly stuff lately.
