Batchix Mini Machina 29cm Discussion Part 1

Feb 4, 2013

    1. I've never had a doll that takes a size 5-6 wig before, and I'm suddenly realizing that size 5-6 is kind of hard to find! Where are ya'll looking for wigs at? I'd really like my girl to have a pony tail hairstyle, but I'm unsure about the color just yet.
       
    2. Look for wigs which fit Pukifee or Lati Yellow - there are stacks around. A lot of the mohair wig makers will make a wig of the right size.

      RubyRedGalleria and Luts both do 5-6 wigs.
       
    3. Ah! I'd be so excited for a grey or lavender Mini Machina release~! :D :aheartbea
      Formydoll has lots of really nice, fun coloured, 5-6inch wigs, and they have a custom/preorder option too! :whee:
       
    4. Today i was expecting my Cerise Doll Eugene... instead i got my Elna!!! She's super cute and the blue is pretty! <3 im so glad i got her. here she is with Mac her sister from the first preorder!

    5. *flails for more robots to land*

      The magnets holding my gal's faceplate on popped out like, immediately, so I'm about to carefully glue them back in.

      I feel like the 14mm eyes might be a tad on the large side. Can anyone put try 10mm eyes vs 12mm and tell me how they fit/look?
       
    6. the magnets in mine popped out too... i havent glued them in though. im a little worried about glueing them in wrong. i dont know what size are in my delta... but i think 14's or 16's are in my eta. i like the big eyed look though. their mnf eyes though.
       
    7. Yeahhhh magnets are scary. One time the magnet I was gluing got too close to a loose magnet, annnndddd they kind of flew at each other and got permanently glued together :doh

      I pulled the receipt for the extra eyes I have...turns out they are 14mm. So I'm pretty sure 10mm will be too small, but I'm very curious about how 12mm would look.
       
    8. Yeah since its the magnet in her chin, ive kind of left it like that for now, it just means her face plate shifts a little and isnt super firm in place. I received another doll this week and her magnet in the same place fell out too. its totally the weather. the resin expands or something, breaks the glues bond and of course their such strong magnets that now their stuck together. I kind of wish folks would put a thin bit of resin (like volks does) between the magnets... but i bet thats tricky to cast so i understand why they dont. Either way i love her and its not a complaint at all. its no ones fault after all. :P I had a pair of eyes that looked really pretty in her face, but they were too big!! *sad face*
       
    9. Here's my Hot Magnet Tip, so you don't accidentally put it back in with the wrong polarity, after you ascertain the right side to go in the hole, mark that side with a sharpie dot.
       
    10. My girl arrived today, her name is Omega. Still deciding on what her body paint is going to be, but so far happy with her look.
