And here I thought my fans devotion to Artica was...interesting. Yes
a fan Did indeed have a life sized version of Artica made (and that
would be a nice 5'5" tall Artica, who's actually as short as she is,
taller than the sisters). However, the fan did indeed get it okayed
with me prior to and I actually assisted Julie in back and forth
conversation with actual reference material she could use for her.
Artica's not anatomically correct, just over sized stuffed animal
with interchangable outfits.
I tell you what though, Julie's a very talented young lady when it
comes to these plushes, BUT folks, you really should get the
permission of the creators for this sort of thing. As it is, the
deal with the individual that had the Artica made was that if he got
one made he'd have to in turn get me one made (as payment for
letting it happen). Of course I never actually thought he'd go
through with the first one since it costed $1500 (again just how
tall is your Natasha cause I think my fan got the better deal if
it's shorter heh), but he did and thus now has to get another one
made. Wild. Nice job though. Why Natasha over the other girls I
guess would be the next question?
Oh, and if anybody wants to see the life sized artica go here
