Fu Manchu:

Image

Image

Head: MU Namor
Ponytail: Pirates of the Caribbean
Figure: SW Legacy Bail Organa

Sculpted the robes and sleeves over the top of the figure using green stuff and liquid green stuff. Sculpted the hat. The emblem on the front of the robes is a 1st Civilian Rank Manchu rank badge.

Fah lo Suee (Fu Manchu's Daughter):

Image

Image

Head/Arms: SW Legavy Fireside Padme
Torso/Skirt: Golden Compass Mrs Coulter
Legs: PotC Elizabeth Swan

Went with the Padme head because she already had a ponytail and the right look. I sculpted some bangs on her forehead to copy a hairstyle Anna May Wong had in one of her films. Gives her a somewhat hardboiled expression which I am pleased with. I decided to go with black for the dress before choosing the arms. The fact she is wearing long black gloves is just a bonus. Took the Mrs Coulter figure apart and substituted the Elizabeth Swan legs. Finding those bare legs with the matching black shoes was another bonus. I slit the skirt piece up the sides and coloured the pink rubber red to match the front.

I am seriously thinking of going back and making a new Ming the Merciless.

Nice work, I would just make the hair band on Fah a different color, possibly red unless in person in stands out better from the flesh than in the photo.

It isn't a hair band, just a parting.

These are really great. The dress on Fah lo Suee came out amazing... very nicely done, so seamless!

Not really, he is just another man in a suit.

I totally get the bangs... but it does weird with such a clean straight division. Maybe too much of a gap?

Fu looks amazing.
