I made a custom Tintin doll! I used a Chat Noir doll as a base because that's the one petit male doll I could find that was articulated and still affordable. The amazing @bubblekidaesthetics photographed him as seen above!
Details about my process below. Warning for weird doll photos.
His jumper is made out of a pair of baby socks, his plus fours are made from an old tablecloth, his shoes are made from cardstock, his socks from some trainer socks and his trench is made from a pillow case I found on offer during a sale! The shirt is the one item I didn't make, it's a Ken shirt but as a result it's a bit too big for him.
I had to hack Chat Noir's head down with a box cutter because I found the vinyl too tough to pull off, then I sculpted over the remaining head stump with tin foil and a mixture of milliput and green stuff.
I painted him with acrylics for that vintage doll feeling rather than using pastels and MSC - he's orange in the second picture above because I was colour correcting the green putty.
Snowy was made with a My Little Pony, armature wire, tin foil and hot glue!

I finally decorated my dream ita/doll bag!
Actually made more than the inserts, but that’s because the base bag wasn’t the best.. the inserts are the fun part!
Made one that is the interior space, and one that’s a change of scenery so I have a total of 3 views out that window ^^
Perfect place for date

In 2004, Mattel produced a Silver Label collectors edition Barbie as Titania from A Midsummer Night's Dream - specifically the ballet, rather than the Shakespeare play.
Barbie's traditionally pointed toes to fit into a variety of high heels are even more sharply on display here, as Titania is portrayed as being en pointe in her ballet shoes.
This particular doll was also released as a Hallmark ornament. Note that this is not another version of Titania - this is specifically Barbie as Titania.
This same series featured Barbie as Juliet from Romeo and Juliet - again, the ballet.
This is specifically as distinct from the other tie-in Barbie for Romeo and Juliet, which features both a Barbie and a Ken.
I couldn't find a clear answer on how many Titania or Juliet ballet Barbies were released, but as Silver Label collectors items, the number would have been capped at no more than 50,000.
