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.

Batchix Mini Machina 29cm Discussion Part 1

Feb 4, 2013

    1. Glad there's still people fawning over these dolls! I just bought a Blip second hand and am currently waiting impatiently for her :lol:
       
    2. Was it the pink one that's been floating around? The temptation was there but I love my two girls immensely and I think if I get Blip, I want her from Batchix herself with faceup.
       
    3. Yes, it's a pink one. I'm not sure if it's been here, I found her through instagram and I've just joined DOA. I would also love a Delta in blue or teal :love
       
    4. Yes, the Instagram one was the exact one on my mind! Congrats on getting her! I'm sure you'll love her, my twins decorate my bookshelf at the moment, they have such sweet faces. Delta was the one I wanted most, I ended up adopting her and a Blip secondhand.
       
    5. Thanks! I actually first saw these years ago before I got into bjds and it was a delight to find them again now.
      I'd love to see your girls! It seems like there are so few of these around

    6. So cute :D I can't get over these dolls
       
    7. I know, right? I'm like, the biggest fan of robot characters so the second I laid eyes on these dolls I was SOLD
       
    8. Yeah, same! I love androids and this doll is just so unique. I think I might make her like a sorta cyberpunk runaway android
       
    9. Does anyone happen to know of some clothes that fit mini machina? I heard some barbie clothes fit but other than that I've got no clue
       
    10. Legs are too chunky for anything other than skirts/dresses, which will probably hit short bc of how high her waist is. Peplum tops would look cute, I bet curvy Barbie stuff would fit great
       
    11. I have mine in vintage Madame Alexander (thrift store find :thumbup):

      That said, it is a very distinctive look, so not sure if it's what you had in mind...

    12. Mine wear MSD sweaters. I threw it on them because they’re big and cozy-looking and it’s so sweet on them. Very large though.

    13. Thank you all for the responses :lol:

      Oversized sweaters sound like an adorable idea, I might have to get a few of those :chibi

      That vintage dress is very pretty, but since it's vintage, I don't think I'll be able to find something like that.

      Maybe does YoSD bottoms fit? I haven't seen a comparison of those style of dolls with her, but I know they have thicker legs as well.

      I received my mini machina a few days ago and have now finished her faceup! I love how she turned out and can't wait until her eyelashes are dry so I can try on her eyes.

      And I've been encouraged by you amazing people on DOA and other talented artists to sew my own clothes for her. So far I have a skirt down and am planning a cute top.

    16. Thank you :lol:
       
    17. @DrHorus your Blip is adorable! Seconding Lady Ravenswood on the stylized eyelashes, they really suit her well.

      I've been feeling ambivalent about my Delta this year, so I decided to redo her and see if that rekindled the spark. It took a while to work up the nerve to wipe her original faceup, since I know I won't be able to match Batchix's skill level.

      My hands aren't very steady, so it's not the neatest job, but overall I'm surprised and pleased at how she turned out. It's my first time using acrylics and it wasn't as much of a disaster as I expected. It's liable to chip like crazy, but since she spends most of her time sitting on a shelf looking cute I'm not too flustered about it.

    18. Sorry to rez a dead thread, but I just started a layaway for one of these cuties! I've been combing through the forum for photos. Everyone is so creative with them!
