Legion World Forums LEGION OUTPOST Bits o' Legionnaire Business Healex's Custom Tonner Legion!

Hello Guys... I rarely post on here I know, but there is something I wanted to share with you all.
Introducing Princess Projectra


For Christmas I got a Robert Tonner Wonder Woman doll. She is 16 inches tall. I started looking at what other dolls they make and found this one. So I started looking for someone that sews doll clothes. I found this marvelous woman named Dawn, and sent her some pictures of the Legion women. She is going to do all the female Legionnaires for me in the 70's style. I told her that I was going to post the pictures here. She said that if anyone wanted to have any made she would be willing to be commissioned to do it. She is a professional doll maker. I hope you all enjoy these pics. I have never posted with pictures before so I hope the links work.

Wow, it looks like it was intended to be Jecky! Lovely.

I'd love to see more details. Great job!

How fun! The eyes look amazing.

Wow, really cool! Bet she could kick G.I. Joe's butt.

Now, that's Jeckie!! That lady does amazing work Healex. (Love your avatar, btw).

Thanks guys. I'm going to try and get better pictures. I agree that they need to be a little bigger for the details. I can't wait till I get the ext one she is currently working on.

Who is she working on now?

the Princess never looked better. Who was the doll supposed to be originally?

I've never picked up a Tonner but heard nothing but good about them. How's the articulation? It does appear that Dawn does excellent work, does she have a website or eBay store?

I can't wait to see Irma and Dawnstar.

That may be the kewlest doll EVER!!!!

She is working on Light Lass now. I figured I'd be easy on her and do what I thought would be hard then easy. LOL. She was originally a Sydney Chase doll I think.
Tek I don't think she has an e-bay store, but she did say I could pass on her e-mail if anyone wanted. The picture that I first sent her was a photo manip that had the ladies in it. Dawn naturally picked DawnStar as her favorite and she can't wait to start on her, but I just haven't found the right base doll for her.

Oh and LASHY....she is going to be doing Drura for me as well. hehehehehe

I can't WAIT to see the Dru doll!

Time for me to REALLY show off my uber geekness - One of the best customizers bodies on the market today is from the Obitsu company of Japan (Bring your Bablefish). These are raw bodies that allow you to adjust hight, bust size, and facial contours. Hair, eyes and clothes are sold separately. The easiest way to get the bodies here in the states is through Hobby Link Japan but their selection is limited. Figures, wigs, eyes and other accessories can also be purchased through Parabox who have an english shopping cart.

That's very fine work on the costume. It's going to be an impressive collection. Next you'll need a dollhouse-clubhouse for them!

I have a Tonner doll (bought it used) that would make a GREAT Cockrum costumed Shrinking Violet.

knowjack...I just got one that is either going to be Violet, Phantom Girl of Night Girl. I haven't decided yet which to have her do. LOL

wow thats freaking awsome.

If i may be so rude how much did the costume cost?

I have a bunch of my niece's old Barbie and Ken dolls in a box and they are BEGGING to be in Legion costumes...if I could only sew!

Hello Polar Boy....depending on how hard it is. $80 and up. And since I can't sew I'm doing this route.

She just sent me the pictures for Light Lass. So as soon as I get the outfit, I'll post the pictures.

Can any of you guess as to which one I picked next?

I'm guessing Phantom Girl. (That's who I'd pick, anyway. She's sexy. )

Just as sexy as your picture Caliente

Haha, but of course. I'm no Crujectra but I try..

Ok Guys... here is the 2nd one. I hope you enjoy her.

Excellent Light Lass. You'll have to do her girlfriend Shrinking Violet next

Hello Guys... Here is my 3rd in a series of custom dolls. Phantom Girl... I hope you all enjoy her.





The Fourth one is going to take about 1 month. Major re-do on this one. Anyone wanna take a guess as to how that is?

If anyone is going to the San Deigo Comic Con, and can help me in getting the Robert Tonner convention exculsive of Mera, I'd greatly appriecate it.

Excellent Phantom Girl.

Who is the next one? Shrinking Violet?

When you get to Saturn Girl are you going to go for the pink bikini or the more traditional costume?

That looks great Healex!

Well I am going for the Cockrum/Grell look Quislet. So I'll be having the pink bikini done. I plan on doing all of the female Legionnaires. Thou White Witch will be in her Giffen outfit.

This is what has been done so far.
1st Princess Projectra
2nd Light Lass
3rd Phantom Girl

These are the ones that I plan on having done:

Saturn Girl (Pink Bikini)
Duo Damsel (Two - One in Orange One in Purple) and an extra outfit that is spilt down the middle.
Supergirl (Tonner has made her, but going to have the '70s outfit made)
Dream Girl (Silver outfit)
Shadow Lass (Black Bikini with stripe down the front)
Shrinking Violet (With the green thigh high boots)
DawnStar (Wings and all)
White Witch (Giffen design)

Subs and Reserves
Night Girl (Vampirella type costume)
Infectious Lass (YES THANK GOD)
Insect Queen (Classic Costume)

Villians
Emerald Empress
Quicksand

and maybe Charma.

The next one is either... White Witch, Infectious Lass, Shadow Lass or Dawnstar. Those would be the hardest to customize. hehehehehe

Wow! Nice!

What are you using for your base figure, Healex? And how much does it generally cost you to customize, if you don't mind my asking?

Very impressive work... have you posted pics of your other customs? I'd love to see them.

I'd like to think that I can recognize talent in this hobby. And folks we have a talented customizer here.

Bravo.

That is way beyond fantastic! Wow!!!

She's gorgeous! Very good work.

WOW! Love it! I'm jealous. I have one of these tonner dolls with long black hair and bangs that would make a great Cockrum costume Violet.

Knowjack....more than likely thats the one I'll be using. I've seen one with bangs and thought of Salu.

Cool...I saw it at a toy store that was going out of business and thought I'd buy it for some future use as a hero figure. Can't wait to see yours!

There is nothing... NOTHING I WOULD NOT DO TO OWN ONE!!!

Tinya looks FANTASTIC, as did Jeckie before her. BEAUTIFUL!

hmmm... I don't remember seeing the Light Lass one... must search...

Lashy....she was in the post at the bottom of Projectra's. I thought I'd start a new one for Phantom Girl.

What's the latest, Healex?

My customizer is working on the next one now. This one is a total repaint of the face and re-rooting of the hair, so it's taking a bit longer than usual. She is keeping me updated. Hopefully sometime this week, she'll send me the prelim pics.

ohmigawd, I *LOVE* that! (this is my first time to see the Ayla doll!)

I wanna come over and play with them!

Hello again guys, Here is my new Tonner custom doll. This is what she originally looked like

This is what she looks like now





and a full view



And here she is with the other Legion Ladies.





I hope you all enjoy!

This is nice. But, I hope you don't mind if I combine all of these threads.

It helps us behind-the-scenes to maintain the files and helps everyone else not have to navigate through multiple topics to see/discuss one subject.

say, where did you get those stands?!? I have been looking for those for my DC Direct figures.

Wow. I think Shadow Lass might be my favorite! Fabulous.

Guys I want to thank Nghtcrawler for putting this all together. I never realized how many posts had been done about my dolls.
Dream Girl is the next one. The woman that is making the costumes for me, I'm taking pity on. You see she is the one that re-did the Shadow Lass. She was a total re-paint and re-root of the hair. Here is what the doll looked like originally.

I want to thank you all for the support.

Very nice Shady Healex. Definitely my favorite.

any chance of you may make Infectious Lass after Dream Girl?

Infectous Lass is down the way I'm afraid. Thou I should have her made in the next few months. Gotta find the right material for her outfit.

Can't wait for the Dream Doll!!!

oh, how i covet.

Hello Guys,
It's now time for the 5th one in the series. I bet you all thought I'd stopped having these girls done.
Not at all... so Drum Roll Please.... Nura



Still Sexy



Full view



enjoy!

Oh, she's marvellous, Healex!! Wow! They're real treasures, all of them!

Ok Guys, I have the outfit for the next one. Just got to get the doll dressed and all. My seamstress had a nervous breakdown trying to make this outfit. HAHAHAHA. Its DawnStar and she couldn't get the chest or sidestraps to go right. So to save her sanity, I told her not to worry about the straps and make it without the straps. I'll have the pictures on in the next few days.

Hey, I forgot to comment on the Dream Doll!

Well, of course she's beautiful! I kinda wish she had a bit of hair spilling across her forehead, but the all pushed back look is good, too. The costume is excellent.

Looking forward to Dawny now! Too bad those straps turned into such a challenge. I won't even try to make suggestions. I have no idea what the process is like. I'm curious to see the wings, for sure.

Thank you for sharing these!

OK Guys... Give me you best shot. I know Dawny's costume isn't perfect, but what can I say. Also the Supergirl is made by Tonner, just the way you see her here. I haven't done anything to it.

What a great collection! Must be fun. (Yeah, I'm a 40-something year old, straight, married father and I like the dollies! Hey, it's an art thing for me. And a Legion thing. You gotta problem fanboy?)

I'll be honest about Dawny. The wings are just okay, not amazing. I'd prefer to see her hair straightened instead of those rolling curls and the headband isn't at all like hers.

Aw, I'm sorry if that's nitpicky. Really, they're so well done, overall.

Thank you for sharing them.

I SOOOOOOOOOOO wanna play with those dolls!!!

Sketch,
I agree with you. I bought the wings off the net and I need to get bigger ones. I was guessing on the size. I'm also going to be playing the the headband myself. If I can't get that right I'm just going to go with the star on the forehead.

maybe you can try taking the wings off either Hawkman or Hawkgirl and re-paint them in white then attach it to Dawnstar? think it helps?

I was curious about what it would take to create wings for a doll, and did some searching. This tutorial looked interesting to me, though the wings are for a real person to wear.

Superboymddjr...it might work if they were the same scale, but these dolls are 16 inches tall. I'm sure I can get 12inch wings. Those are 8 inches long.
