Walgreen's Halloween figure remake


Most villagers don't buy Walgreens Halloween figures because of the bad paint job the cmpany does on them. Now that they are retired and Walgreens doesn't carry them any more they are showing up on e-bay. I like them I have collected about dozen or so. But I only collect the trick or treaters not the monsters.


These two figures are from Walgreens, the witch and the bat girl on the right I've already painted. They used to look like the figure on the left just minus the kid in the middle.
 As you can see the orange witch really stands out now that she has been repainted. I watched Hocus Pocus last night and Danny's witch costume was the inspiration for her coloring. LOL
Here is a close up of the bat girl much better color but her eyes I still need to work on. LOL I used a toothpick to dot them but it still isn't small enough maybe a pin?

I decided that I wanted two seperate figures for this figurine. I'm going to keep the other one together. I used a Dremel tool with a diamond cutting disc to seperate them. Then sanded down the edges with the same disc.
Now I just paint I had to use two shades of green to match the grass on the front. I also cut off the fence it just look wrong.
Now I have two new figures! I'm happy with this project. I'm going to work on the others this winter.
