This is Asimov, a BJD[Ball-jointed doll] I sculpted. He is made from Super Sculpey, painted with acrylics and strung with elastic. He is fully poseable, as you can see!
I did not make the dolls in the last picture :) But I did sew their clothes!
Ted Goggie is partially sewn, partially sculpted. His (luxuriously furry)body is sewn and stuffed like a plushie, but his face, arms and legs are all sculpted from Super Sculpey. The various extremities he carries on his belt are also sculpted, but were made at a much earlier time -- don't ask.
His face is actually sewn directly onto the head! I thought it was a cool idea, and it added to the creepiness(which was already abundant, oh well).
The arms and legs are attached using a plug system I devised :) Each limb ends in a slightly bulbous shape, which then gets very skinny and finally ends in a wide, flat "plug" shape. As I sewed the sides of the body together, I placed the limbs in so the skinny part sat in the seam, with the plug inside the body.
Once stuffed, the flat plug presses against the "wall" of the body and holds the limb in the desired direction. It worked quite well!
(I didn't get a good pic of it, but he has a very large raccoon-like tail. Not striped though.)
[His poem:]
Ted Goggie snares creatures much smaller than him
He traps them with treats and pricks them with pins
He adores their cute fingers and feathers and pelts
So Ted Goggie keeps all those fine bits on his belt
Lastly, there's Jiffle Tin. He is made much the same way as Ted, but his appendages end in handles rather than plugs. The handles were smeared with carpenter's glue(for no reason other than I have a lot of it), and the fabric around the wrists/ankles was then bound tightly against each wrist/ankle handle with string until the glue dried, at which point the string was removed.
His noseplates, eyes and horns are simply glued on.
The body is structured like an old-fashioned teddy bear, where each limb is sewn and stuffed separately, then slapped on the sides. However(unlike teddy bears), his limbs don't swivel around.
His backpack of course contains/is embellished with every item the poem mentions. Some items are not shown because I forgot(such as the tiny bottle of candy), but they're there! :)
[the fullview is still tiny so here's his poem:]
Jiffle Tin's fine pouch is filled up with knickknacks
He collects oddments everywhere, everything bric-à-brac
Brandy-bottle snitched from a chef unawares
A package of candy from your larder downstairs
A bell liberated from a busy dressmaker
A hand-trowel pinched from the farmstead, Gold Acres
Four sundry jewels now upon his bag click
Along with a necklace in the dead of night nicked
A mishmash of notions lost in washing machines
Now embellish his little bag sewn from old jeans
A small bit of ribbon festoons his left horn
His scarf fashioned frugally from a sweater-vest torn
This jumble procured by want and by whim
Now belongs to the singular soul, Jiffle Tin.
