Due South dolls!
Some of you have already seen these IRL, but I wanted to officially introduce the newest additions to my ever growing collection of plush dolls based on TV show/movie/etc characters... Benton Fraser, Ray Vecchio, and Ray Kowalski. Yeah, I really did. And yeah, my mom still thinks I'm insane. Whatever, I love them. :)
RayK!Doll is my favourite, even though his head is annoyingly floppy and doesn't stay up on its own. But he's still adorable and perfect and I want to squish him. Fraser!Doll was the most complicated, of course, and the tunic alone (including all the belts/buttons/etc) took a week, but I'm really proud of him. He's much more complex and detailed than any other doll I've made. RayV!Doll I'm sadly not 100% happy with, I dunno... not sure if the hair worked (I was trying to make him look balding, but it turned out kinda funny). And there's too much black in his clothing; I should have given him gray pants or something. Decided to go for his season one look, ie ugly patterned vest from the pilot. :) Was going to do that nice brown trenchcoat he wears later, too, but not sure if mixing the two styles would have worked... but oh well, I like him anyway.
EDIT: Oh, and I forgot to say, because there isn't really anything to give a sense of size and scale in the pictures, but they're each about 12 inches tall.
Anyway, without further ado, lots of pictures!
RayK!Doll
Front
Close-up - note the little badge on his holster. :)
Back (to see his holster)
Tattoo close-up (ran out of room for the writing, oops. It's illegible anyway, so whatever).
RayV!Doll
Front (sorry, the lighting kinda sucks in this one)
Close-up
Back
Fraser!Doll
Front - some details (ie the lanyard and the pockets) are missing, but basically I tried to include everything. His pants are sewn to his boots to make them look sort of tucked in.
Side (note how the epaulets actually faster with buttons... and his belt goes underneath it properly. ^_^)
Back
Without jacket - suspenders! They're sewn to his pants, but they can be pulled down over his shoulders so you could theoretically pull his pants down (ahem) and his shirt up (I sewed the neck of the shirt smaller after I put it on him, so it probably wouldn't come off now).
Back without jacket
Group hug! (RayV's head just... kinda goes like that. I tried to bring him in closer!)
For the Fraser/RayK shippers...
Cuddling...
Getting closer...
Get a room, you guys...
Oh dear. Honestly. I'm just going to leave you two at it then. *gets popcorn and sits down*
And for the Fraser/RayV shippers...
Hangin' out...
And getting a bit cuddly... (sorry, I meant to do dirtier ones, but was getting tired. I'm more of a Fraser/RayK shipper, anyway, though I like both).
And one for the Ray/Ray shippers. :)
And just for fun - Mountie!RayK! :)
And that's it! Okay, kinda overkill, but I was having fun with the pictures. :)
