In fact, I think it COULD be.  Get that doll over to Orhbach's immediately!

I like how the Quentin one seems to be rolling his eyes.  [ghost_rolleyes]

Barnabas needs some visine.

Poor Julia.  Would it had killed them to give the girl a little makeup, some jewery & a nice 3-piece jacket-shirt-skirt ensemble with matching gloves?!

Adam is much better. And I think that's definitely Julia.

David's name wasn't among the prototypes that were going to be shown at Comic-Con - plus Julia's name is on the placard. Julia is the only character it could possibly be.  [ghost_smiley]

I remember once at a con I was talking to the guy who did the early Galactica comics for Marvel. I wanted to know why the characters did not look like the people on the show (actors). He said Marvel did not have likeness rights to the actors. They had to draw the characters without making them look exactly like the actors. I wonder if the company has the rights to the likenesses of Frid and Selby, but not the others. Quentin and Barnabas look like Frid and Selby, the rest are identifiable as characters...mostly, but not dead ringers for the actors.

"Julia," if that's supposed to be her, seems to have been derived from a still of Grayson as Pepe in "Satan in High Heels"!

And "Angelique" looks more like Samantha--the DS Samantha.

The Twilight Zone figures have real style about them.  I guess that's the assignment they give their artists who actually have talent.  Love the copy of the little devil box from that Shatner episode.

Grayson never wore anything like that, though.  With some color on the face and some Orhbach's fashions, it could work.

I think the face is good, hair needs a bit of softening but Dr. Julia Hoffman never wore that outfit! egads!   [ghost_tongue] And the lack of accessories. . gloves, purse, watch, rings, broaches, earrings ...buckle shoes, Julia was all about the bling.

indeed!

doctor hoffman was nothing if not accessorized to the nth degree.

she should come with that colossal pocketbook,a bottle of sedatives and that hideous "heirloom" medallion.

If one takes a good look at the MPI music box or plates it's easy to think that Specte has no rights to the look of our DS charathers. Until MPI gets smart I'll settle for what I can get. Let's face it, if MPI would allow it most of us would be more than glad to pay big money for a REAL music box. You know, one with glass and metal.
May you die before you want too.

The president of Spectre Toys was at the Fest and said that he wasn't happy with the Julia prototype and they were redoing it.
