Hat Plays Dolls

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! )
