Angrily dismissing musicians (and being very expressive about it) 4. Attacking Ernesto (very angrily) 5. Performing on stage for the first time in nearly a century (at Miguel’s encouragement)
The photo of my grandfather Hector with her granddaughter Victoria
In my opinion, Victoria is Hector’s favorite granddaughter. I just can’t get past this fact in this au

Here are some handmade clay figures of Imelda, Coco, and Hector from Pixar’s Coco! 🙂
I absolutely adored Coco – it’s one of my favorite Pixar films of all-time. ❤ Not long after watching the movie, I bought myself some collectible figures, but since the figures only included Hector and Imelda in their Land of the Dead skeleton forms (and Coco was left out! >.< ), I decided to make some figures depicting them as they appeared together in that old photograph.
As with all my other clay figures, these are made entirely of Fimo clay, baked in the oven, and details were added after baking. Eyes are made from colored pieces of paper that were glued on, noses and mouths were drawn on with marker, and the designs on Hector’s mariachi suit were painted on with acrylics.
Hector and Imelda are between 5 and 6 inches long, and Coco is about 3 inches long. Each figure took me about two and a half hours to complete (well, Coco took less time since she’s so tiny). If you have any questions, feel free to ask!
(Flash was used when I took the picture of the three of them together, but it was not used in the bottom three photos of their faces. The colors look a little wonky because of this. lol)
I’m ready to accept your blessing and your condition, but first I need to find De la Cruz… to get Héctor’s photo.
God, the way she says “how many times must I turn you away” – it means that Hector must have tried numerous times over the years he was dead to approach Imelda and explain what happened and to make amends with her, but every single time he faced rejection and disgust from her.
Other than his desire to see Coco again and the fact that he suffered all those years not being able to, this must have cut him pretty deep.
But even so, he never showed any anger or resentment from these rejections. He never stopped loving his wife, despite how she felt about him and how she treated him through the (almost) century.
