Skeletons, Violet Vale Customs, and Halloween
« on: October 31, 2021, 18:05:47 »
I am going to lump together a bunch of things under one heading. These have all recently been on my Instagram (@timspfd) but I wanted to put them all up here for you to see.
First Up the Novelmore Skeletons from the blind packs. I will be getting them on my site in the Figures section eventually but here is an overview. If there is interest I can post package pics as well in the reviews forum for a specific discussion.

Here are a bunch of customs I did of Violet Vale wizards. This is a great sub-theme of Novelmore, and I was able to get some groups pf them from a Malta seller that I have mixed together along with a variety of loose parts out of my spares bins.

Here are the two demons form the Violet Vale set 70746 demon Lair. Love these guys. The little one uses the body from the fire and ice demons but has I think new arms and definitely a new head. The big one is similar in construction to the various orc troll types but is more than usually demonic.

And here are three groups of customs I have done. Mostly these are parts from Figures Series 20 and Scooby Doo figures series 2. Some other bits from the spares boxes as well.

First up Banshee Karen who wants to see the manager and a guard that looks like he could be from OZ maybe.

Next is a guy who really reminds me of Svengoolie but lacks the red shirt. I did try for a red torso but nothing worked quite right. The lady vampire clearly likes to wear purple like many elderly ladies, but I am a bit concerned about what might be in her bag.

Lastly here is a couple that could be from Salahari Sands somewhere, just not as skeletal as typical

That's it for this post series, hope you enjoy them.

Wonderful sketches! There really are some lovely pieces in the various Novelmore factions.   :paddy:

...Karen who wants to see the manager ...

 :lol: :lol: :lol:

We've all met people like that!

Great collections, Tim. Really sparks the imagination!

Awesome bunch :)  Thanks for sharing!

The colors in these new novelmore really work well. I dislike the eyes, generally. To me they look drunk, high or very sleepy...

I agree Tahra, drunk, high and foremost very sleepy. I think the normal brown eyes would have looked better. But I don’t like the way the eyes are changing in general. Also, these sets are targeted more for boys and I don’t see boys generally caring about such a detail.
