This is the first of what will hopefully be many more contributions to my other favorite collection. The Buffy figures Diamond Select produced were supposed to be a continuation of the original Moore Action Buffy line. But, with new and improved sculpting, the old figures just don't look right next to the new ones. And since DSC discontinued the line before releasing they're updated Dru, I needed to make one that looked decent next to my Deluxe Spike. This is the result.
It's basically just a Vampire Buffy head on a "Once More With Feeling" Dawn body. I painted all the skin on face, neck and arms to match in paleness and covered up the blonde hair with some "artificial intelligence." (jk) I thought Dawn's gown really resembled the virginal looking baby-doll gown from Dru's first appearance. But, GOD, it took a lot of coats of white to finish it. The makeup was the other difficult part. Lipstick, eyeshadow, and nail polish all had to be applied with a toothpick and a not so steady hand. But, I think it all came out ok. Personally, I think it looks better than the unreleased DSC figure. But that's just my opinion. I'd love to hear yours.
