Mini Story Time: From Dracula To A Spike Bust Statue

By now, we know I love Spike from Buffy The Vampire Slayer, do I need a Spike bust statue? Definitely not but, now I have one! And that's what I'm gonna show you today cuz, when it comes to him, I'm a big fangirl.

Let's go back to September 2025 when I randomly found this funny looking Dracula bust for a very, very cheap price. I'm always looking for halloween, monsters and horror stuff so, it was tempting, plus it was the only one in the store. My sister told me if I got him, she would transform him into a Spike bust for me and, I went for it. 

This was our first pic the day I got him, haha. We didn't spend much time together cuz he went straight to my sister's house right away. 

I don't have many pics of how he looked before but, as you can see, the paint job wasn't great and her was a little damaged. The eyebrows were hilarious and he had this dark purple lipstick going on.

I'm gonna share some of the pics my sister sent me while she was transforming my vamp. I don't have many but, it was cool to receive some updates on the process every now and then. I don't know the exact material she used, but I know she re-painted the whole bust, gave him some hair implants (lol) to give his hair some volume before turning him into a bleached blonde. 

Of course the cheeckbones had to be sharper, she also replaced those thin brows for a lumpy forehead and Spike's scar and, I believe she also worked on his lips. Basically, we had a complete nip and tuck. His clothes changed too! Now he has a black leather jacket and a fabric collar thing covering the tiny bow tie he was wearing before. In other words, he's cooler now.

The before and after 🧛

He was supposed to be ready for Halloween but, it took her longer to finish him. I believe I brought him home at the end of January. It was defo a big transformation.

Right now, this bust is in my living room, I don't know if he's going to stay there forever but I know he's not gonna be just Halloween decor. I'm happy to have him even if it's a very random thing to have. Love the vamp too much.

I'll see you next time~!❤️‍🔥
