Dollieh Sanctuary

We also just finished a set of live action Mary Poppins & Bert the Chimney Sweep 17" LE dolls (Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke, respectively) from 'Mary Poppins' and a Jack the Lamplighter 17" LE doll (Lin-Manuel Miranda) from 'Mary Poppins Returns' on commission a few weeks' ago.

We had a lot of fun recreating them, especially Bert and Jack because I made their heads entirely--which is always a big challenge to make accurate, but super rewarding when finished and they come out well! I think these two both came out great and Mary is so lovely. It was really tough getting her faceup just right! They all also have real eyelashes.

Mary and Bert we made in their 'Rooftops/Steppin' Time/Chim Chim Cheree' outfits while Jack is in his main attire and he has has real flocked fuzzy 'stubble' on his chin/cheeks! We added a lamplighter for Jack and a chimney sweeper for Bert for extra accuracy! The buyer also just commissioned a parrot handled umbrella and carpetbag for Mary to hold, so we're making those for her to add to her Mary Poppins 1/4 doll!! Thank you so much for looking! Hope you like them!

Bert is especially fantasmical!

Please tell me you tweeted these to Dick Van Dyke, Julie Andrews and Lin-Manuel Miranda. Because OMG!

I was thinking the same thing, Misty! And I follow Dick Van Dyke if you need his Twitter name.

Those are adorable! You are SO skilled, girl!

It's great to see a more realistic style doll from you. It just shows that you can do anything! Fantastic job, as always!

OMG, these dolls are spot on! GREAT JOB!!!!

Oh my goodness!!! :cries: THANK YOU, everyone!!!!! :cries some more in joy:

I really, REALLY appreciate your comments on these!!! It means so much that you all think they really resemble their actors! I tried super super hard to get as good a likeness as possible and am always a little uncertain I succeeded when the dolls are 'live action', so your words touched my heart!
