EARLY DAYS....RAVELLA was created from the head of a Xena "When in Rome" doll,which had a much nicer headsculpt than the first version standard Xena..as the photo demonstrates. UGH !!! The head was adapted to a more articulated action figure body.At first I had what amounted to an improved Xena figure,but very quickly I realised that I wanted to move on to creating my own original character.Gradually I have moved her away from her origins..she has had several costume changes and her original costumes and accessories have been transferred to other characters.
