Jack Frost OOAK- help me come up with ideas!
« on: April 14, 2014, 06:35:40 AM »
Hi there! I have been looking for a Jack Frost doll and havnt found a mass produced one. So after looking at some beautiful disney doll customs made by lulemee on the internet, I have decided I would love to make a custom Jack (from the Dreamworks Gaurdians movie) to go along my Elsa dolls! I think Jack x Elsa are the cutest couple ever and my Elsa doll looks lonely and needs a boyfriend! I have some ideas set aside on how to make him, I was thinking what kinds of boy doll bodies I could bait! Id like him to look as accurate as possible as far as his face shape. The only thing I can find close is a beach Ken doll at Walmart. He is older looking and er... buff but I guess.... could work? Since that Ken is so tan I was thinking of sunfading to lighten the skintone but the dolls are made up of different types of plastic so it may not lighten evenly. For clothes, I have an old blue shirt I could make use with a doll jacket pattern and use white glitter glue for the frosty design. Pants, I could always get an outfit pack and cut the jeans up! xD I am also planning on using probably hi polymer clay for his wood stick and maybe his hair if his hair would be too hard to root into Jack's hair texture since its so short. I have rooting tools, acetone, finishing gloss, all kinds of glues, glue guns, a zillion types of paint, baking clay, prismacolor colored pencils, pastels to use for the face, eyeshadow brushes, all kinds of materials I could use to help make him!

My main thing is I cant seem to find a type of doll that best suits Jack's slender figure! I only know a few types of guy dolls like MH, Ken dolls, EAH, and Disney Prince dolls. A lot of people here show pictures of types of dolls I have never even seen before, so I need your help to find the perfect bait! Could a... girl doll work too? Also, if any mass produced Jack dolls do exist Id like to know so I wouldnt have do to a custom, although custom dolls sound so fun!

What about an obitsu? I know they make a slim male body. It will run you around 30 but it might be the right option for you. They also make heads. Here is a link to junkyspot.

On a side note I can't wait to see what you do. I love Jack Frost!! I also like him with Elsa. Such cuteness!!

OMG thank you for sharing! Obitsu, its like .... a build your own doll! =D So I think I picked out some good parts:

Body 28cm slim

White

Natural

Head 28 slim

Natural

Should I use white or natural? I think white looks good, hope its not 'too' white since his hair will be white and his dark jacket will make him look even paler

So Im not sure the cheapest place to buy the parts, is there any places that sells obitsu?

Also...what should I do for his hair!? Should I root or mold it? I want to root it buuut I am scared his hair would be all over the place since it would be sort of short. I want him to look really good! =]

I'd say go for white for Jack. Obitsu normal skin is rather dark, while white is more like a pale normal skin than paper white. I have some Obitsu bodies, I can take a picture of of white Obitsu body against white paper sheet if you like. You have to wait a bit for it though, it's almost night here and there is no light. I'll take a pic tomorrow if that's okay and you still need it.

For hair I recommend either a wig made of fur fabric (nice and spiky, nice to play with too) or rooting the hair like you'd do to a pony. I used to have this perfect fur fabric for Jack's hair type but I'm afraid I threw it away while moving. :(

I can't wait to see what you come up with, Jack is a great character! :D

Your very welcome! I think that the white would work best too.

Junky spot is one of the places you can buy them. There is another website but for the life of me I can't remember what that site is. If it comes to me I'll let you know.

Are you thinking of Parabox.jp?
