Tiny Town

More Than Soccer and Samba: uma rua suburbana da zona norte do Rio de Janeiro. Fiz essa obra em 2022 e usei as referências das pesquisas da Geanine Souza que estudava a arquitetura suburbana naqueles tempos. Aprendi muito com as observações dela.

Just something about this shade of pink with this skin color that just makes both POP. Might be biased tho because I love hot pink shades.

No rug, or rug? And if so, which one? Any other colour recommendations are also welcome.

He doesn't have hair, but his sculpt was designed for hair, so he has a groove molded where his hairline should be

Since he's from before Mattel's ~Articulation Era~, he has the early 2000s modification of the 1990s gymnast Ken body, which was a modification of a 1980s doll (Spectra Tom Comet) which was a modification of a 1970s doll (Young Sweethearts Michael.) No articulated wrists or ankles, the knees are hinges without pivots, the hips and waist are held together with rubber (but the waist is way more elegant than the 1990s and earlier bodies), and the neck only twists, no tilt.

Now, if you don't know me, you aren't aware that I used to have a bit of a reputation as someone who would get or customize novel dolls and then find new homes for them fairly quickly, so the fact that I still have this guy says how much I like him, even with his limitations and dubious design decisions

Can sew no more today, my back is dead

Tshirt was a free gift with a purchase.

Shorts are the same vintage pants pattern but cut off, and yet a little more taken off the waist. Fabric from @dollsahoy (thank you!) I did cut the pieces out sideways to make these cats right side up-ish 😅
