Ten years of fandom culminated in a bit of silliness
I don't know if anyone in the community has issues/phobias with dolls, but I wanted to warn everyone just in case.

I collect Asian ball-jointed dolls, which range in size from 72 cm to 5 cm tall. For a whiole now I've been holding one on layaway for the express purpose of having my very own Tintin doll. It took forever to find a face sculpt I liked enough to let him be the one, and now he's finally here! He came with no facial colorings so I painted his face. I also trimmed his wig and sanded his chin and nose to make them a bit more round and childlike. I'm working on making his iconic teal shirt; most of what he's wearing is stand-in clothing.











I hope the folks here appreciate him the way I do! He's my little resin ray of sunshine. And his little dog, too. :3

Isn't "The Tintin" supposed to be shaved/buzzed around the head, leaving longer hair only on the front as the cowlick?

Yeah, but that`s impossible to find in a wig the size of a golf ball. The wefting would be visible and he`d have rows of stitches on the back of his head if I cut it any shorter. These dolls come bald and have wigs; this is not rooted hair like a Barbie.
