Finally!!! 6″ scale Sam and Dean Winchester action figure customs!

Sam and Dean Winchester Supernatural 6 inch scale action figure customs Suzanne Forbes Sept 30 2022 Only took what, 17 years?

Ha!! I am so pleased with myself. My dollhouse has needed Supernatural action figures for so long! And inexplicably, no-one has ever made one-twelve scale figures of the Winchester brothers.

The sculpts are phenomenally, outrageously good. They look like they are produced from digital scans of the actor’s heads – yet how do these bootleg ebay sellers get ahold of the files?

Except not really, and painting tiny things is hard, but I’m getting better at it. I don’t ever plan to try to do it regularly; I leave that to the real customizers. But this was an extreme situation. Why has no one ever made Winchester Brothers actions figures in six-inch scale?

Heads from ebay, Sam head modified with Apoxie Sculpt to add more hair volume at back of skull. (his head was a little small for the body otherwise)

Sam body: Robert Pattinson’s character from the Twilight movies, by NECA, first movie I think. I carved out his neck and re-sculpted it and repainted to fit the Sam head better.

Dean body: Xander figure from the last round of Buffy figures from Diamond Select, in 2006. His hands were tiny, so I pulled them off and replaced them with the hands of a spare Wes from the last series of Angel figures. I also pulled the legs off the figure (they kept falling off anyway) and sculpted the joins where they met the hips to give the figure a little more height and more of a Dean stance.

Eventually I’ll put the Sam and Dean figures in the library with the Buffy figures and Blade!

Last dollhouse X-Mansion build detail: stairs to Ororo’s attic!

Stairs to Ororos attic X Men dollhouse by Suzanne Forbes July 2022I had to scratch-build a lot of this, which I hate!

So it took two years longer than expected to physically finish the X-Mansion. I got blocked by the final detail, the stairs leading up to the attic, which of course is Ororo’s. The dollhouse I used wasn’t designed to have stairs to the roof, but I thought it would be fine to have a trap door and a smaller staircase. Finding one that nearly fit, cutting it down, building the trap door and banisters and miter-cutting and painting… well I hated all that.

And putting the plants on the stairs as a little Easter Egg made me very happy. The trapdoor still needs a handle, and I ordered one but it isn’t here yet.

Why are 90s DC characters in my #80sxmen #actionfigurediorama? For Berlin Pride Week, baby! And Apollo and Midnighter look so at home.
