Dollar Tree Doll Glam Makeover: Introducing The Space Maidens!

[apes3978]

Cool homage to the rack toys...

I like these so much, I had to peruse again. Their eyebrows are Divine!

What's the origin of their pink boots?

Thanks so much! I found the boots on etsy. They were $2.50 a pair. The seller lives close to me so I got them in 2 days after I ordered. I like them because they enable the dolls to stand on their own if you pose them just right. The Dollar Tree dolls only came with open-toe heels, but I really wanted boots! I figure boots are essential in outer space --especially if you're going to walk on the moon with all those craters!

Nice job, kind of a "Space Channel 5" vibe going on. (Sega Dreamcast game)

I've never heard of them, so I looked them up on Google. They're cute and I love the design!

Thanks for elaborating! I thought it must have been the mermaid heads. Either that or you were the world's fastest rerooter!

I don't know how to reroot. I attempted it once, but I didn't get very far! LOL It seems very tedious and you need a lot of patience! My other option was to use colored Sharpie markers on the blonde fashion dolls. Of course, it was much easier to just swap heads with the mermaids because they're made by the same company and basically the same.

Thank you so much! I did do some head swapping with their fashion dolls and their mermaid dolls, because I really liked the mermaid doll's bright hair colors and their mini-dresses, so I put them on the fashion doll bodies.

I LOVE this idea and they came out looking store bought, great job!!!

Yes, someone could take their Final Faction action figures, and give them new paint jobs!

[RonnyG]

Haha! Great job! They look like ladies you'd see in a 50's B movie.

Dor the weapons the alien Final Faction guns could be fun too.

Yes, those would work, too, but I would probably paint them pink and add glitter!

This is just loads of fun. I love them. Thanks for sharing!

Here's my homage to those great (but cheap) '70s rack toys! I was inspired by the Star Maidens dolls, and the Galaxy Maidens clone dolls that pop up on ebay once in a while.
I thought it would be a fun challenge to take some plain, ordinary clone fashion dolls from Dollar Tree, and give them a sci-fi glam makeover. Almost everything I used came from the Dollar Tree or Dollar King (except for the boots).
Although, I would've preferred blister cards, I do like the boxes they came in, so I just embelished them with outer space-themed stickers, instead of creating an all new backdrop.
I chose to call them "Space Maidens" because I like the old-fashioned, quaint name, and it sounds retro.

Really love your upgrade before and after pics with window boxes to boot, awesome job putting these together and cool idea for a loaded laser beam hair dryer.
