The Wizrd of Oz
Noel Cruz is one of the most versatile & distinguished repaint artists in the doll community. He is most recognized for his character & celebrity based dolls due to their uncanny resemblance to the people they portray. His dolls are derived from several models like Gene, Tyler, Sydney, etc, by various doll-makers such as Robert Tonner & Franklin Mint. His repaints as well as his portraits are done with intricate detail to the point of being naturally lifelike in essence. Highly regarded among collectors and artists alike, Noel attempts to raise the bar and bring a fresh take to the common mass produced doll with every face he paints. Noel's specialty is with one of a kind repaints. The beauty of repaints is that almost no two are exactly alike just as no two artists are alike.

My third Elsa repaint, this time it´s a commissioned work. Classic Disney Store Elsa doll repainted with a particular expression, but as the Snow Queen. The expression she chose is quite similar to my first repaint...
She has a full facial repaint with acrylic paint after removing the factory paint. Her hair is restyled.
Repaint nearly finished! I just have to make templates for the wallpaper on the top floor before I bash the roof on properly. Right now it's just balanced loosely on top. I spent quite a bit of time last night bashing the walls into the floor with a tent peg. I also need to pop in the front door.
