Title: Ideas for a Dorothy??
Post by: tonguello on August 04, 2014, 12:50:03: Hi! Does anyone have ideas/suggestions for a 100% Playmobil Dorothy (from the Wizard of Oz) custom?

I could only paint some parts if necessary but not other alterations. The dress is the main problem. Im lost.
Ideas please!!!

Thanks!!

How about this woman's torso from the 3825 set?

With those wide, white half sleeve arms and a blue skirt + red shoes combo, that might look alright.

Have you considered using a little girl clicky? The girl from the Hansel and Gretel set (the fairy tale set) has a white & blue checkered dress and her shoes look reddish.
With white short sleeves and red hair, I think she'd look pretty accurate.

Good luck on your quest :)

Post by: tonguello on August 04, 2014, 15:26:17: Thank you both for the ideas!

@bb; yeah I was thought about those but the shapes are not right.
BTW I'll paint with photoshop ;) ;) ;) ;) don't worry ;D

@birdie: I do want an adult clicky, otherwise the other characters would be a lot bigger than Dorothy. that woman's torso would work but I don't have that clicky unfortunately. I don't have Gretel either. :P

I was thinking of using a man's overall (the 3D one not the printed one) with a proper skirt, but I don't know if it is possible or if she would look too manly in it. ???

Still lost ... have someone ever saw a Dorothy custom? ???

Post by: tonguello on August 04, 2014, 15:34:11: This one is great and it's the ONLY one Google could find .
I might have to photoshop more than I wanted, so that's a last resource.

this one is a great start point to actually build the custom. we'll see ...

Thank you Manson, this will be my first option then! :love:

I like better the shorter dress because the shoes and socks (iconic but EWW!) can be seen, but this one would be 100% Playmobil, Thanks a lot!! :love:

thanks! good choice too, though I'd have to photoshop off the printings first and then color the dress..... but it's actually good! ;D

Thanks everyone!! I'll show you soon how it turned out to be! :)
