Glad there's still people fawning over these dolls! I just bought a Blip second hand and am currently waiting impatiently for her
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.
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
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.
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
https://denofangels.com/threads/like-my-family-mini-machinas-little-sophia.768935/ It's been awhile since I photographed them properly (mainly bc my Blip has beautiful custom eyes now), but those two are my girls. Nephrite and Taasy
I know, right? I'm like, the biggest fan of robot characters so the second I laid eyes on these dolls I was SOLD
Yeah, same! I love androids and this doll is just so unique. I think I might make her like a sorta cyberpunk runaway android
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
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
I have mine in vintage Madame Alexander (thrift store find ): That said, it is a very distinctive look, so not sure if it's what you had in mind...
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.
Thank you all for the responses Oversized sweaters sound like an adorable idea, I might have to get a few of those 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. https://farm1.staticflickr.com/892/39636002030_1259289085_z.jpg https://farm1.staticflickr.com/791/26573718517_a006c68fab_z.jpg 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. https://farm1.staticflickr.com/887/39624552120_64b3e552e0_z.jpg https://farm1.staticflickr.com/791/41391153452_e0cc987239_z.jpg
@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.
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!
