Hmmm, he looks a bit spooky to me;  maybe Dr Jekyll?

But, nonetheless, a great custom.   :wow: :wow:

Playmomac, your "Herr Doktor" makes a really great "Victorian Doctor" ...  :clap:

I probably would not have bought this set, but I would really like to have a Victorian doctor. So, thank you very much for sharing your very nice customization.

All the best,
Richard

thanks guys. He does seem to be a bit dark....I imagine him to belong to a secret society like the Masons (From Hell comes to mind).  Certainly he is suspected of questionable medical practices.  Dr Jekyl is also a good character to create.  Spooky doctors somehow belong to the world of the Victorians.

I wouldn't have bought this set either if it weren't for the Groom.  Even the sets I don't like I check out for parts/figures that can be customised into something else.

I think your custom doctor is superb!
Where did you get his bag from?

But you don't have to buy the whole set just for the figure.  If you can find a copy of then plans, then you can just order the parts you want from DS.  (Don't worry, it was some time before I realised this!  :-[)

the bag is from Western Coach set 7428.

I wonder if that is true of the German DS (I would think so).  I have ordered parts only via the internet from DS, and on the German site you can click on Ersatzteile (Spare parts), click on the set which has the parts you want, and then just click on the picture of the part to order it.  Only thing is that if you do it that way you aren't able to order figures or their accessories.

Hi

Hey I never even realized how great this Klicky looks taken out of his context  :hmm: Thanks for bringing this to our attention, I too need to go order him now  ;)

I guess I am so preprogrammed to look for the old set for my Western and Victorian themes I forget to look to the new stuff for parts.

Great custom playmomac! Like Rasputin and Richard I overlooked the potential of the parts of this set, so often it is the colors of the wedding grooms that seem to inhibit their uses but this is very nice.  :wave:

Excellent custom!  Dr. Jekyll and Dr. Gull from From Hell comes to mind.  I may have to create a similar klicky for myself. ;)

Here's another Victorian Doctor I put together a while ago, with his sidekick Holmes.
