The Cure are still around and still strong. Would you like a Robert Smith in a action figure form just like they have action figures of other rock stars that has been made?

Well yeah! You do one, you have to do them all.. and to continue the collectability, everytime Mr Smith has a line up change, then there can be a new release... so you can keep your action figure 'The Cure' band up to date also!! Would they come with wardrobes? Would they have accessories? Like guitars mics etc... AND could they have playsets, like a stage???? Oh LOL, listen to me, I love my Cindy doll and Barbies... I've never really grown up!

hhhmm.. as i mentioned previously, i would LOVE the ROBERT DOLL that appeared  as in crowbi_wan's avatar... at the concerts earlier ( mexico was it..?)..
as far as an action-figure.. kinda suggests that he will/would have moveable parts (  :-D ) and potential super-powers.. like The Six Million Dollar Man .. sooo many years ago.!?

If only I could sew efficiently.. what a market there would be..   :smth023

Dance, puppet, dance! Way to ruin the tortured mood of One Hundred Years though, having a doll bobbing up and down in the audience...

Anyhow, here's a picture of the doll (same thread):

http://www.live105.com/pages/1059001.php?imageGalleryXRefId=302908

Well, you can't really see the doll, but it's a nice picture, and it's got the model himself in it. At last they meet, Robert and his Mini-Me...

Anyway, if I got a doll of a famous person, it would probably be to use it as a pin cushion or something. I'm more into t-shirts and posters (dart anyone?). Life-size cardboard figures of the band might be nice to have around the house though, something to keep you company at the breakfast table every morning. :D

SS is curently working on some New doll projects, She's finishing off a whole band line up (the current line up, with all bandmembers dressed like they were on the recent 4tour,

here's a pic of a knitted Simon doll 'in the making', with tattoos embroidered by hand :)




Hopefully By next week I should have pics of the complete band as they are finished, and more information on how to order them if you're interested.

Post by: Carnage Visor on September 02, 2008, 22:59:55
This is very cool, guys!
Your sister is really good at making those, they look really cute.
If any company were to make a cure doll, I'd want it to be MacFarlane, they always get the likenesses spot-on. And Robert Smith is so iconic, he'd make a great action figure.

Imagine having an entire set with all the members from a certain era...that would totally rule. I'd want Simon too~!  :D

Can't wait to see the finished product, kissingcrimson!
Title: Re: Robert Smith action figure?

I'm also half-done making a Mary doll. They're the new Barbie & Ken  :-D

.. hey there Hero.. I would love to have a Robert Doll.. !!  :smth023

Can you place orders for me, I can't even sew a button..   :smth011

Let me know if possible ... just send me a PM. OK.? I REALLY want one!!
I don't really want a Mary doll, and I already have a RS Schecter life-size, but if it turns out as great as your doll, a miniature guitar would be excellento!
.. maybe alittle bit of smeared red lipstick would add the final touch!
