I can't be the only one going 'gee, that robot's head looks awfully familiar.'
I really appreciate the eyes on this little guy.
My coworkers: what you'd do with your long weekend?
Me:
My new OTP.

So Anastasia Tremaine is one of my favourite side characters from Disney, and with her whole story arc in Cinderella 3 I really wanted her love interest, The Baker, from the second movie.
I've been putting off doing this custom for so long because he has SUCH drastically different body type from any male dolls out there that I knew it was going to take a while to attempt it.
But I decided to finally do it and went ahead and started modifying a Mego Aquaman since I had a spare of him around. I added to his chest and stomach, as well as added more bulk to his face so he would look less like Kristoff and vaguely different enough to be his own person.
Also, since the Baker has an upturned nose I modified that as well.
I hemmed and hawed about shortening his legs until I realised the shoes I had didn't fit the Mego feet so I cut off his original feet and ankles and added some Monster High feet instead. I also trimmed out a portion out of his thigh and strung the pieces back with wire, foil and a lot of superglue and cornstarch to fill the gaps.
I then covered his thighs to bulk them out but also to fill in the mess it left, as well as filled in the upper arms as they were too detailed for my taste.
I them sanded him over two days, and then painted him up in acrylics. I'm still kind of insecure about my colour matching abilities but since he's gonna be covered up I don't mind it.
He is such a uniquely shaped doll but I'm really proud of how he turned out.
Tumblr has allowed filtered tags for a while, but now they offer filtered post content too.
So you can filter out posts with certain words or phrases in the text even if no one tagged it, which is fantastic. I started using it yesterday and it’s already helped me avoid 5 different posts that wouldn’t have been caught by the filtered tags.
Go to “Account,” then “Settings,” and it will be in the Filtering section right under “Filtered Tags”
Somebody got new hands!
