Thanks! Nope, I do use some printed heads when making figures, but in this case it was a head from Mattel figure that I gave a realistic paint job and added hair to, then a separate blank figure body (that I also painted).
lol yeah, “realistic” is the operative word here. I used parts from the new Mattel version to make this, and even in 2023, they’re still very “toy-ish”. Shoutout to Kenner though, it was all we had back then 🥲
I haven’t even seen Jurassic Park, and seeing this doll I was like “is that the woman from Jurassic Park” and I googled it and it is. You absolutely nailed it.
Haha, same. That's pretty much what all of these are; teh version I wanted as a kid when they only made cartoonish figures. I ALWAYS wanted the most realism possible.
If you ever get around to trying them out I would say you can start and stop at the first one-- it's diminishing returns from there, lol. (they're all entertaining, tbf)
I did not know who Dr. Ellie Sattler was, but I immediately recognized this as Laura Dern. (I see from the comments that this is a character that Dern played in Jurassic Park.)
That name didn’t ring a bell and I haven’t seen the movie in 20 years, but I knew exactly who and what it was just from the face and details. Nice work!
with money? 💰 i don’t have answers for you there. but i appreciate you sharing your awesome art! i’d have gotten that action figure to play with my TMNT and April action figures for sure.
Haha, thank you! I can't take credit for that bit, but they were a pair of existing pants that I had to turn into shorts, and hemming on this scale is... challenging, lol.

(No, I have never seen any Jurassic Park movies, and the only things I know about them are that they involve dinosaurs and Jeff Goldblum.)

2) Did you do the drip water on her arm test?
I didn't, but this guy did:
