First of all, let me apologize that somehow these pics just aren't as fun/nice as my process pics. I don't know how that happened. Not the right mood for doll photography that day?

But hey!



So I made myself a custom Raythe.

Click on the link in the paragraph above for a detailed report on how I did it, this post is a close look at his outfit, but.

The Reboot robbed us of boy characters generally-- we got, what, Shriek Wrecked Gil, who was basically just Gil but with opaque-molded hands, Dance the Fright Away Deuce, Winning Werewolves Clawd, and Vampire Kitchen Dracula-- who wasn't even fully articulated.

Robbed!

And the reboot actually gave us not just Raythe but Moanica's horde of Zomboys-- I would've paid for a five pack of Moanica and Zomboys, even with budget articulation.

But-- Raythe. The first boy to express an interest in Clawdeen onscreen, lead singer of Howling Thunder and Frightening (featuring Raythe and Deuce and the Rolling Bones and Woolee), hanger of lampshades-- hey, how come I didn't get an electrified outfit?

I've wanted one for years, I still kinda hope Mattel makes one (there's your Skullector Line, Mattel, do us up some missed dolls-- Pharaoh, Raythe, Mom Wolf, Madame Ptolemy, Mermanta Gil, Andy Beast, Gory, Bram, I could go on!), but I am not going to bet on that.

So I made one.

Twelve more pics behind the cut for a very thematic 13! )
Okay, so, I got the G3 Coffee Break two-pack and as I was messing with it, I kept staring at Deuce:



I kept saying to myself, "He looks like somebody."

I knew I wanted him for a custom-- nonhuman-colored boy dolls that work with Monster High are thin on the ground-- but I wasn't sure who. I was debating between Spelldron Cauldronello and a couple of backgrounders when I had the sudden terrible realization that...

He looked a little like my boy Raythe, from the infamous Reboot/G2.

Okay, so my Scaris Heath clothes haven't been selling on eBay for a price that's worth the time I put into them. Fair enough. Sort of. So I says to myself "Well, what if I included some shoes?" Except I didn't want to give up my repainted Gloom Beach Jackson shoes, or go hunting for another pair. Well, I've made leather dollhouse doll shoes before (basic shoes for men and slippers for little girls and occasional boots for pirates and nonsense shoes for witches), which... honestly wouldn't work well for Monster High, the dye on the leather would stain the heck out of them, but once upon a time I bought a few sheets of craft foam thinking I could use them instead of thick leather for dollhouse doll shoe soles. Didn't work out the way I wanted, but what crafter throws something out? Clean it up and put it away, it'll work for another project someday.

So guess what craft foam works for?



Shoes! So that's Manny, Barker, Deuce, Pawla, and InvisiBilly.

Let's go take a closer look.

17 more pics behind the cut! )

Actually you know what else I got done?



Scaris Flashion Mob Deuce! More Spoonflower fabrics, plus custom sandals because that's what he was wearing at Clawdeen's fashion pack Flashion Mob. (So, really, you could call this Basic Fashion Pack Deuce, since that's what everybody was wearing to the Flashion Mob.)

Still not done with pics! )
