    My WIP Customs From Collinsport...

    Here are a few of my work-in-progress Dark Shadows customs...keep in mind, they are in various stages of progress (some are near the very start of work, like Carolyn Stoddard and Maggie Evans, then there others who are nearly done, like Adam or Elizabeth Collins-Stoddard)...

    Elizabeth Collins-Stoddard...

    Roger Collins (I still have paint work to do on his face and hair)...

    Carolyn Stoddard (she's a bit of a mess, I have to redo her sweater and skirt, the sweater fell apart and the skirt was too short/too tight. Her face also needs a repaint)...

    Quentin Collins (modern day/70s Quentin, I settled on this Mego head, because it looked similar to him, but it will need repainting)...

    Willie Loomis (needs shoes and repaint)...


    Maggie Evans (needs new outfit and repaint, also I wasn't happy with the Peg Bundy repainted head I had done, so I opted for a Facts of Life, Jo head)...

    Mrs. Johnson (definitely a WIP)...

            I used the FTC 60s Batman surgeon King Tut head, TS.

              Those are fun! Do you sew your own clothes? They are great!

                Thanks, Ronny.

                Well, some of them. Many of the men's outfits are from FTC or from Doc Mego. A lot of the ladies outfits, I have to make, myself. I made Elizabeth's dress (inspired from an outfit she wore in an episode). I made Angelique's vampire gown and I'm going to make Carolyn's and Maggie's outfits too.

                Julia's jacket is from FTC, but the skirt I'm making myself.

                  WoW! That's a very well-rounded cast of characters you have there! I really appreciate the custom face work you've done on Barnabas, Roger & Adam, and the custom clothing is very impressive, very well done...most especially Angelique's & Liz's (I recognized that one immediately). Excellent choice for Stoke's head too! Great work, I look forward to seeing how you progress with them.

                  Do you mind if I ask where you found that green sweater for Adam? I've been thinking of buying a yellow Hutch sweater and dying it green, but that one you have there looks like a better choice.

                    Thank you so much, DS.

                    The green sweater is from the FTC/CTVT Stan Lee figure they had, which they were selling separately for a while. I think they may have sold out of them now, though. You can check their website, I haven't looked for a while for the sweater.

                        I Love when someone picks a beloved show and goes for it with customs. This with all of those characters is definitely a work of passion. Don't Stop.

                          This is impressive. I love the fact that you are creating a whole line. Dark Shadows always scared me when I was little.
