    The Purple One...Prince

    Prince Rogers Nelson is my favorite musician of all time and making a custom figure of him has always been a goal of mine. His sudden passing in 2016 inspired me to begin planning the figure's build and acquiring the parts & fabrics I would need to make him. With Purple Rain being the vehicle that rocketed him to super star status it made sense to go with his iconic look from that era.

    PRINCE:

    HEAD - Base cast from eBay seller that has been modified/sculpted over, molded & recast by me with my paints.
    BODY - Doc Mego AA body
    TRENCHCOAT & PANTS - Tailored and sewn by me.
    SHIRT - 8 Inch Super Store
    GUITAR - CTVT
    BOOTS - CTVT Plasti-dipped purple by me.
    BOX & INSERT - Designed and assembled by me.

    As always I thank you all for stopping by and giving him a look!

    Enjoy!
    John

    How can you not love that? Very inspired! Very much in the spirit of musician dolls like Cher and Michael Jackson. Well done!

                    Fun! Love the Purple One!… but that guitar is not worthy of all your good work. Your hands can surely make one better.

                      Was the figure cleansed in the waters of Lake Minnetonka?

                      Outstanding job. Love what you did with the head and the outfit. He is spot on.

                              Looks just like a Mego Prince, part of some lost '83 line of wonder.
