Here are a few customs I recently finished. They're pretty simple (no custom painting or specially made pieces) but I hope you enjoy them.
I'd already posted one - Grasshopper lady, on my collection thread, but thought afterwards that I probably should have posted her here.
The others are inspired by Offred/June Osbourne from The Handmaid's Tale, & 2 others inspired by music videos.
-
The first one inspired by music videos is based on Bonnie "Prince" Billy (Will Oldham, one of my favourite singers) in the music video for Scout Niblett's Kiss video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0uDlvl7jNn8), which he sings on. I think he needs a better crown (silver?) but I felt like he looked a bit more like a White Walker, & less BPB-like with the crown, & so he ended up in a cap, which felt more Will-like. :lol:
-
& the other inspired by a music video was an Aldous Hardy klicky inspired by her in her video for The Barrel (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QyZeJr5ppm8) (one of my favourite music videos from the last year & her album, Designer, is also one of my favourite recent albums too).

Nice!
-
I especially like The Handmaid one, which is, of course, hand made! Boom! Boom!
-
Cool I like PM versions of real life things.
-
Cool work! The klicky version of Aldous Hardy is especially notable.

Thanks peeps! :heart:

She wants some more musician klickys to hang out with, I think klicky Aldous is getting a little tired with Klicky Bonnie "Prince" Billy ::)

:lol:
Here are a couple more I made this weekend, bunny Santa needs more bits (boots, cuffs, sack, etc). I have a bunch more I want to make at the moment, but am still gathering all the bits I need..
-
I've already added these to my collection thread, but as they include some customs I put together, I thought I'd add them here too..
skeleton pirate lady (very basic, just given her new lime green hair, & a purple cloak, but I love her)
vampire guy (very basic, just changed his hair & gave him a black cloak)
& vampire lady. I've given her a golden apple of immortality. Ideally I want a gold necklace for her, but I think what she has will do for now..
-
I really like the look of the black necklace on the red outfit. Gold is so mundane.

Thank you! I wish I could say it was by design, but it's one of the few (non Native American) necklaces I have. :-[ I think it's fitting for her & it almost looks like it's a fancy clasp for her cloak, which I liked, but I'd still kind of like to see how a gold necklace looks. I wasn't sure if she looked too plain, but hopefully with the necklace/cloak/headpiece/bangles & apple she has enough to give her some detail.

I agree with Tiermann... I think she looks great :)

Some more custom Klickys..
I've made 6 custom Grasshoppers so far. Because of what's available as far as arms with green, blue or yellow hands, some of the grasshoppers ended up leaning towards nobility & became a grasshopper royal family.
The newest lady (in purple with the scarf) wasn't originally intended to be part of the royal family, at first I thought she was just a general grasshopper lady, but then with the purple dress tying in with the grasshopper royal family I thought she could be the princess.
I started working on the king & queen a while ago, but I wasn't 100% satisfied. Some Playmobil pieces I got more recently made everything click - the neckpiece (on the prince) was originally on the queen (it's part of that original outfit from wicked stepsister), but I wasn't feeling it for the queen. Once I got another crown & tried the cloaks on the king & queen (I think I already had the cloaks) they felt complete, & it meant I had that extra piece (the neckpiece) to use for the prince & along with a crown would tie his more subtle look (riding outfit?) in with the royal theme. The blue grasshopper queen is a wicked stepmother/evil queen.
The yellow prince I'm not sure about.. I'm satisfied with how he's turned out but I really want to make the yellow alien into a female, & get another blue alien to use as the prince.
I made the kids out of some children that I liked but didn't love as a whole & thought could be cuter with some tweaks. Some are still a WIP. I have more I wanted to use for customisations but wasn't able to behead them (using the beard/cape method) so was limited with what I could work with.
-
The rest of the kids, some might get a bit more tweaking. I'm happy with the classic kids (the boy on the right came to me with an adaptation & wasn't done by me) & the boy on the first picture, but the rest I might make more changes to.
-
I love those royal grasshoppers! Brilliant idea!
-
Some WIP vampire ladies (+ the men who are mostly stock).
I don't like most of the Playmobil vampires. Only 4556/4772 (purple haired Dracula, black mouth) & 5239/5638 vampire (angry looking, red mouth) really appeal, & maybe 9307 (paisley vampire) who I don't have yet.
None of the female vampires they've made appeal to me, they all have face screenings I don't like.
I feel like the ladies could be a little more detailed. but overall i'm happy with them & much prefer them to the vampire ladies that're already avaiable.
-
& showing off their wings..
-
Great work!
My favorite vampire heads are also the first one.

Thanks tahra! :love: I was worried they were a bit basic & scrappy (with the ladies mostly having different colour sleeves to work with what I had with white hands). I'm hoping to add another couple, the paisley vampire from 9307 & another viscious vamp lady. The spooky crew is growing!
-
They look great! The Black Baron's pendant works well here. :)

Thanks Pynedor! & AH! I had no idea where that necklace was from! I forget if I got it in a lot or what.. The red dress vamp was originally wearing it with a cape, but it won't fit over her wing harness now so one of the other vamps stole it. Damn, they'll all be wanting them now! :lol: (the are perfect for the vampires!)
-
It's definitely one of the best necklaces, but I believe it only came in the Super 4 Set 6697, so it's not very common.

Yes! that's a shame! The vamps won't have to fight over it anymore, I just opened a new set I got from one of my orders from the official shop in the last few months (I still have a bunch of stuff I haven't opened yet) & was thrilled when I realised it had 2 of that style of necklace in gold). Tempted to paint the centre in red like the Baron's. Might have to get another set so I can steal the necklaces. :lol: (any excuse :toot: )

The rare one is the black one, the others are old and common, I think, especially the gold ones.

Thanks tahra! I'd looked at the different variations on Playmodb but I'm not knowledgeable about which sets are rare & common. I didn't realise they were in the new set I'd bought 71047 (http://playmobil.co.uk/pirate-treasure-with-guardian/71047.html) because the info for that set isn't there yet. I'll have to scan the instructions & send them over.

I wonder if that guy is the same as in the advent... same color, I mean...

Yes! I think he's the same as the one in the advent set 6625 (https://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=6625)
I took some photos of him the other day but haven't edited & uploaded them yet, will try to share later. I had fun deboxing him!

Thank you - my wallet is happy (NOT an easy feat!)... The klicky is interesting for customs....
(I like "deboxing" :) )
