Throwback to about the year 2000. I had a duplicate Simba, so I repainted one as Kovu! Kid me didnt know anything so I used regular craft acrylics (no primer) which have wore off over the years. I'll redo him properly some day. Wore out Simba is also scheduled for a repaint.
.
No Kiara because I didnt have a duplicate Nala to repaint. Irony? In 2023 I saw there WERE official Kovu/Kiara toys made in this pose, BUT I didnt ever see any as a kid 💔 If I saw them, I totally would have asked for them in addition to my first generation of TLK toys. I saw almost no TLK 2 merch in stores for some reason.
Take a look at this amazing custom Park Ranger Jessica action figure made by @casimir.inanimate.objects and take a look at his website to learn how he made it and to see more. Toy companies take note, Jessica can be made perfectly in action figure form!!🌲💚 Repost from @casimir.inanimate.objects • Another Jessica! This time as a customized Bombshell action figure. (Not a statue!) I’d been trying to figure out the best way to get Jessica on to my Bombshells shelf, and when I realized how close the Wonder Woman base figure was to Jessica’s ranger look, it felt like a bolt of lightning. I had to act! Learn how she was made at the link in bio. www.pilliod.net #customtoys #custom #customactionfigure #customactionfigures #customfigures #customfigure #disney #DCCollectibles #dcdirect #mattel #diamondselecttoys #mcfarlanetoys #mcfarlane #dccomics #neca #dcmultiverse #mcfarlanedcmultiverse #jessicarabbit #whoframedrogerrabbit #inanimateobjects #pilliod https://www.instagram.com/p/CqYOkoNO7X2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Restoration job from 2022. Project has been adopted.
.
The completed custom restoration! He was re-stuffed with cluster fill vs styrofoam balls/ chunks, tail stuffed vs its original flat state, thread sculpting on three feet where the factory original had popped, hand sewn mochi tongue in place of the original felt tongue, minor thread sculpting on the snout to "split" it from his nose to his upper lip for better snout shape.
.
While he was just a carnival type plush, he was still cute and worthy of getting rescued from a thrift store to be fixed up. He was quite the mess to empty out though and I spent a few hours vacuuming up styrofoam even though I emptied him inside a large trash bag :')
DUCK SKIN When @sandysculpts sculpted my MouseSkin character, she graciously also sent a sketch sculpt of DuckSkin. He was so cute and I knew I'd have to paint him up. I finally found the time with all this rain. Give Sandy a follow. You won't regret it. #sandysculpts #sculpture #arttoy #customtoys #mouseskin #duckskin #nopalArt https://www.instagram.com/p/Cncp_WCSeDf/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
