I did love the design of these little guys...would love to see some of the talented artists here tackle them!

Haven't seen anyone tackle these yet but I don't think it would be *too* difficult to do. An armature inside would definitely be the way to go, IMO

I think NECA only made 1 and 9, both of which I have. Nice figures, but all plastic. I'd like all nine...

Before the movie came out, I was planning on making a full size 9 doll using the most SA materials possible. So I have a lot of reference pictures, details, materials and such....just no actual doll.

do you care to share said ref material???

 

[sebmodio]

Sure.

Here's the album of the pictures taken from trailers and such.

For some information:
-I calculated the figures to be 10.5"-12" tall
-I found a perfect zipper: Coats & Clark Brass Jeans Zipper, Black, 7", Price Code Z29, Art. F.27
-The skin is burlap, the hands metal back with wood palms, the fingers are also metal, the knuckles are small machine screws, copper wire wrapped around the wrist, the eyes are small metal tubes with rings around them.
-A good ski mask type pattern would be great for the head.

I'm sure I could answer some questions if you have any.

Re: 9

Not the dolls but I am making his staff with the bulb. Mostly for private collection tho. Its a really cool movie and I am sure will become a cult classic.

Every try and SEW Burlap?

Sure have. Exhibit A, my scarecrow mask:

Also, for the 9 dolls, I have a burlap with a really tight weave, so it would be less of a problem. Further, I think if you used a backing (like the kind used in upholstery), sewing issues would decrease more.

Thanks for the link. I don't know how I missed this thread! Luckily the mods moved it!

I heard the Neca toys are really bad. Plastic and not fabric. I started to watch 9 last night. It seems pretty good so far.

The character design is great! I can't find an "art of book" anywhere.

I don't really think im gonna sew the burlap. the weave of the material is too loose to really capture the type of "sewing" that is shown on the doll. i think i would try to lay the burlap on the form and then use faux sewing to achieve the look of a hand stitch. actually sewing it would make it look like a plushie doll and very crappy IMHO

Doesnt look like burlap at all to me. They look to be a fine wool crochet build, you wont get the right movement and creasing with burlap.

Ok Ill buy that....but..try and do it to fit a 15 inch person.

It has a burlap look on that scale..however...you could be right.

some one mentioned Hessian as the fabric

could be a good replacement for burlap

and for the love of god no GOOGLY EYES!!
