Wee Fergus- Outlander Inspired

Inspired by my love of all things Outlander, the idea for wee Fergus in resin form came about after watching season 2 of the Outlander series on Starz. I thought how much the actor playing Fergus in the series resembled Dollshe's Robin. Weird how a doll lover's mind is always working the doll angle into things, lol! Shot below of Romann Berrux, who plays Fergus in S2 and a couple of episodes of S3. I had already shelled several of the other characters in the series (Jamie/Claire/Young Ian/Lord John), and thought young Fergus would be a fun addition.


Anyway, I talked to my friend Lyn, who does most all the painting on my dolls and she too could see the resemblance, so I ordered an Oriental Robin from Dollshe through BJDivas and settled in for the long wait. It took almost 14 months for him to arrive...………….and then I had a setback breaking my ankle, which postponed him going out for a face up. Finally a couple of weeks ago he arrived home.
The long wait gave me the opportunity to have his wig (Monique Bob in size 6/7, brown/black color) and his eyes ready. I was actually able to get the eyes before Jenny at Safrin stopped making her resin Safrin eyes. His eyes are 10mm SI Natural Icicle Safrin eyes. Doesn't he look like the actor?
I'm quite pleased at how he all come together. Eventually I'll get him some clothes similar to what Fergus wears in the show, but for now I'm just really pleased to have him home.  For other Outlander fans like me, as noted above, I have shelled some of the other characters in the series as well.  You can see them in my  Outlander albums  on my Flickr page linked in the sidebar.

  1. It's not often I am enamoured by a male doll, but I really like this one, he's a very handsome young man. :)

    1. Thanks! I am a nut for all things "Outlander" (I have another blog dedicated to my Outlander inspired dolls) and when I saw a little Dollshe Robin styled on Flickr with a brunette wig it just hit me that he could make a fabulous Fergus. I love how he turned out. I do have a soft spot for little boys too, although they are MUCH harder to clothe than the little girls.
