My G3 Frankie light repaints.

I haven’t sealed anything with Mr. Super Clear yet, so things are a bit shiny. More pictures under the cut.

Basic G3 Frankie I repainted their lips to a more similar pink color used in their outfits, painted their fingernails, and lightly restyled their hair to look more like their show counterpart. I also added real piercings to all of my Frankie’s eyebrows (it looks muuuuch better in my opinion). Their new skin color and color pallet have grown on me (I really miss their neck bolts though). I love their robotic leg too and their increased height.

Coffin Bean Frankie has an interesting face up (mine had lots of hot pink paint splatters on their face when I got them-luckily acetone fixed that). I feel like their Skulltimate Secrets’ hat went perfectly with this outfit, added some black and silver paint to their finger nails, C+F to their robotic leg’s heart, and then I added a lot more paint to their shoes.

Surprisingly, the Ghoul Spirit dolls have been some of my favorite of Frankie, Cleo, Torelai, and Draculaura (I like Ghoul Spirit Clawdeen’s hair length and center part, but their make-up is meh and their insistent use of poly brings down their doll for me). It would have been perfect if they had flocked their shaved side (if I ever get an electric grass applicator, I’m definitely doing this). I repainted their lips to match I <3 Fashion Frankie’s (my favorite from G1), painted their earring, added black to their nails, and a bit of a black wash to their robotic leg, along with “Cleo” to the inside of their heart doodle on their leg. Also, the skullete’s on their collar came off the second I handled it. I could add some silver to the studs on it, but it’s fine for now.

I added paint to a bunch of their accessories to help their details pop. Frankie’s newer shoe molds are getting pretty detailed (like the little franken-monster and a bolt of lighting on their Skulltimate Secret shoes). Their bags are meh, but I really like the bolt earrings and their phone case.

Since Coffin Bean Frankie came with a silver, wingless Watzie, I decided to turn it into a Watzit (I might make some wings for him later). I was really happy with how his little stitches came out (especially on his tummy and around his eye), and tried to paint it to look like his mouth was open too. Watzie also got some additional paint to match his animated/concept drawings a bit closer. I really like the size and stylization of most of the pets in this generation too in comparison to their G1 counterparts (not that I disliked them, these just feel a bit more cohesive to me).

Some more repainted accessories for my Monster High dolls. These are all pretty old, as I did them when they first came out, but they’re not shabby. I am the most happiest with how collector Abbey turned out (her shoes were just sooooo bright pink, and she needed her added arm fur to be tinged with a bit of white. Skelita also got a bit more color with her headpieces repainted, along with her shoes, and some more aqua added to her hair (I want to say that I based it off some artwork of her, where she had some aqua braids, but I can’t seem to find that image now). Dayna also got some shoe details added and I made some little cuffs for her gloves. Moanica’s shoes and belt got a few added details and I gave her some poorly added on nails/claws that I should reapply at some point in time.

Elle Eedee is so cute and has such a great sculpt. I had added some glow in the dark paint/electric blue detail in between all of her different body plates back in 2015. She still glows!!

Easter Egg Duck Repaint

Before I get to adding paint detail to my Spelldon, I wanted to do something relaxing and stress free. So I quickly painted these little duckies I got for 3 bucks from Target.

I wanted them to look like painted Easter Eggs. Here are some WIPs and a before picture under the cut:

My house likes a bit of color so these all grey guys needed an upgrade.

I was going to leave them just like this, but my partner said to cover them completely. So...I went for it. Haha.

Sometimes all they need is some extra painted details. I loved Cave Club, I know that they have really cheap hair, but I managed to collect all of them except for the Glimmer Crystal Egg Series and Rockin’ Party Ceratops and Tella (if you’re selling some and ship to the states, message me). My younger self would have adored all these bright colored dinosaurs/prehistoric animals.

Monster High shoe repaints I did forever ago. After I’d get a doll, I’d usually add a bit more color to their shoes (which were always so detailed, but often just a solid color). I probably could have added more detail to Viperine’s heel’s and top of her boots, Isi’s shoes straps could have maybe been painted brown or black to break up the fringe, and I could have added more color to Marisol’s heels. Aw, well, younger me didn’t think so. My favorite were Clawdia’s and Gigi’s.

I repainted a double I had gotten in a blind box and made him into the Rebooted Ducktales’ Negaduck.
