1. It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.

    4. Aw Polygon looks like she'll go really nicely with Jocasta! Congratulations <3
      Update on my two- they're in Australia! Thanks for the update, USPS <_<;;

      Hopefully they'll be here either tomorrow or tuesday! :D

    5. I got my Delta today. Wow, she's sturdy and quite heavy for her weight! I totally didn't expect that. ^^
      Congrats to all new arrivals as well! :D

    6. My two came in as well! I couldn't resist breaking out the MSC and doing up my new Eta, Genesis:

      Helix (my Blip) will get her makeover tomorrow!

    7. I'm currently working on painting a friend's white Delta. This is C2, a defective companion cube! Her eyes are 12mm from Alice's Collections.

    8. That's such a cute idea! :D
       
      #208 Laoky, Aug 19, 2014
    9. Thanks! I wish I could take credit, but it was her idea from day one of seeing this doll. I've had her for quite some time and I'm just now getting her finished and ready to send home. I wanted her to be perfect for my friend and this is the first doll I've ever painted, so it took a while to get it just right :)

    10. So many mini machinas, it's awesome seeing them all! Congrats everyone!
      My delta arrived yesterday, I've got no idea when I'm going to be able to get her a faceup though.
      Has anyone else noticed that these guys are incredibly good at hanging upside down?

    11. She's here! Arrival thread is here for anyone interested.

      Ugh, I did get hit with taxes, which sucks. : /

      I still need to figure out her name...

      .... the Gamma/Epsilon helmet makes her look grumpy :lol:

      It's great to see everybody's Mini Machinas, and so neat to see what everyone's doing with theirs. Lots of original ideas in here :)

      Edit: Holy cow, these girls are quite heavy for their size! But it's a nice weight, they feel really solid.

    12. Congrats to all the new arrivals! All the pictures I've seen so far are very lovely!:D
      And there are so many neat ideas that you guys are coming up with that I enjoy reading!

      I recently received my girl, and before I start painting my Delta (her name is Nanno btw) I was just wondering what you guys use to paint their bodies. I'm a little terrified, but I don't want to leave her body blank forever so any suggestions would be most appreciated!:)

    13. Well my girl should be on her way to Australia soon.

      Dopey me, I misunderstood the layaway. I thought that you paid the deposit and then waited for a final invoice when she was finished casting.

      Oh well, I've paid the money now so she will be packaged up and sent now.

    14. @Zoffie: I use pastels mostly. You can also use acrylics or watercolour pencils, just make sure you coat your doll well beforehand.
      If you're unsure what to use, you can always look into the customizing forums. ^^
       
      #214 Laoky, Aug 23, 2014
    15. I use pastels usually, sometimes acrylic in an airbrush, but really you can use pastels just yes, spray to set well, as pastels won't set themselves.
      I have also used glitter, acrylic and various mediums on my Batchix robutts...
      Fanny is all pastel with some pencil

    16. I got brave today. I took varying kinds of sandpaper, needle files and sanding sponges to my Blip's face. I changed her nose a little, might do a little more, but the far more noticeable change is her lower lip. It's much more defined now. I may go back and even it out a little more, but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.

      Also- might name her Siren... which will be a horrible pun, since she'll be an 'Enforcer' (the Cybertronian equivalent to police). She likes to sing and perch in high places to watch over everyone.

      Don't mind the very messy work desk behind her. :sweat

    17. very pretty!
       
      #217 Stella Maris, Aug 25, 2014
    18. Thanks ^^ More of her personality is coming out as time goes by. She's super sweet, if a little mischievous. Still, she's always out to do the right thing. For sure she'd be an Autobot. I've got a complicated head-canon going on for enforcers on Cybertron, but I won't bore you guys with it ;)

      Here's a question for those of you that have had your Mini Machina girls for longer- have you had any luck getting her 'feet' to move more at all? Is it the tight stringing keeping them from moving, or is it just the lock...? Seems like I should be able to move the 'toe' part up if it was just the lock. I'd love to put Siren in some more complicated poses, but having her feet locked in one position is making that tricky!
       
      #218 Prysm, Aug 26, 2014
    19. The little toe part is very TIGHT. Still is on my girl. You really gotta grab it from underneath and pull it out to adjust. It's not something easy to move while she's standing. I don't mind, I like my dolls tightly strung, but maybe you'd find it easier if she was not as tightly strung.

      I like your adjustment to your girls lower lip. Looks good.

    20. Thanks!

      Hmm, I wonder if putting some Kips in would help or make it worse... I'm going to have to experiment with things until I get some more movement.
