I started making anime dolls about a year ago. 
They're not UFO catchers; they have noses for one, 
and they're in proportion, not chibi. They have 
jointed limbs and embroidered faces -- and I think 
they're quite nice and would like people to see 
them. I have a Sagara Souzou on sale on e-bay, in 
case my links aren't working and you're 
interested.

So far, I've made Mikage from Utena
Zechs and Duo from Gundam Wing
Sephiroth and Cloud from FF7
Squall from FF8
Souzou and Aoshi from Kenshin
Ed from Cowboy Bebop
Pulse from Twin Signal
Jowy, Luka, Culgan and Seed from Suikoden II
Sesshou-maru from Inu-yasha

And others that I'm forgetting at the moment. They 
range in height from two feet to four and a half 
feet tall. I'm really proud of them! Check it out: 
www.eecs.lehigh.edu/~rdecker. It's just a listing, 
but the dolls are seph1.jpg, cloud1.jpg, ed1.jpg, 
zechs1.jpg -- and I intend to put up a bunch more. 
Let me know what you think!

Thanks all!
