Nurse Jill Danko, From "the Rookies"
Hello, Everyone.
Here's my latest...thanks for looking and I hope you like her.
Here she is...the real reason I watched The Rookies: Nurse Jill Danko. *swoon*
I always found it unfair that LJN never made a Jill action figure, since she was the most popular character on the show.
The figure probably looks really straight-forward and simple to make.
It WASN'T!!! LOL!!! The 70s style nurse's smock and hat were real challenges (as was the French Twist hairstyle, but after doing two rooted-hair Seven of Nine figures, I'm getting better at those!), so I'd like to thank Rosa (a.k.a. Mom) for her help and wizardry where needed. Jill's top has a functional mini-zipper in there!
I'd like to also thank Mefiboschet for shrinking the head for me.
First, here are a few screen caps I made from a DVD, showing Kate Jackson in all her medical glory:
And here is my Mego-like rendition of Jill in all of her 8" (well..a bit taller with the hat) lusciousness:
I made the card...my first one. I took some Kreative License with it and made it bolder in color than a "real" LJN card, as you can see with my carded LJN Terry for comparison:
LJN cards and narrower and taller than Mego cards, so I scaled Jill's card down proportionally, so that it's Mego height.
Can anyone steer me toward a recloseable clamshell that's a bit taller to accommodate Jill? I'd preferably like a Kresge-style clam.
I tried putting her into a David Lee SuperClam, but she's really squished in there and it's not appealing for display or storage.
Back to topic, here is Jill with her cape, ready for Mike to pick her up to go for paella.
And here she is with her stethoscope and medical chart:
Lastly, here's a closeup of that frustration-inducing French Twist:
