It's possible that the flash/light make the hair lighter than it actually is. I also could paint it. I have also made an Ianto, who originally was blond, and painted him.

Here are some funny pictures of how I made the Jack:

But we also will now get an officially and well done expensive collectors figure of Jack Harkness with the real face of John Barrowman. That was my biggest dream. As I was not able to find a coat. Some people are talented in sewing but I am not. I hope to preorder the real Jack this year and maybe get him next year. We already saw pictures from an exhibition and what struck me - he looks so young! But of course it has been 10 years.

I also have a Ninth Doctor on pre-order. I have two different Tens from that company, one in brown, one in blue suit, and they are awesome. I know there are lots of links in my list, but maybe one day you'll find time for them. I'm also eager to share my Star Trek pictures with you.

Oh, man, I must have a pop massaging someone, now!

Awesome idea! Sadly the next "Take your action figure to work day" is next year in March. You just missed it! You are supposed to take the pictures on the day and then tweet them with a certain hashtag. I've seen so many lovely and funny ones from all over the world. People have so interesting jobs. In an office, it's hard to find something special. The guy who originally started it two years ago also is overwhelmed how his idea has taken off.
