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.

General Mecha Angel discussion thread!

Jul 21, 2011

    1. I have a MA Corvi on a Spiritdoll Proud body and the fit is fantastic. I'll try to get some pictures for you...
       
    2. I use a spiritdoll Proud body for my Sabik. The head fits fine and the resins match-but my Sabik was already a couple years old when I got the Proud body to swap him too. The more recent pinkish-NS of my Sard doesn't match Spiritdoll well. I think I actually promised pics a while back in this thread and never followed up, oops ^^;

      Also a note that while the head fits it's defiantly too big for realistic proportions- I've modded my Sabik to have a slightly slimmer, more angular chin and jaw (among other mods >.>)but the forehead/cranium ect are real large and still throw it out of proportions, mostly due to the slimness of the neck vs the width of the head. It's more akin to stylized (like Luts and a fair few volks, but not quite as extreme) doll proportions than realistic people proportions. Doesn't bother me, might well bother others though.
       
    3. Sure I really want to see pics of yours two.Thanks so much!

      Sixpence668: Have you modded your Sabik like Salvagore do to fit with the Spirit proud body?
      Because I'm not really good at mods.
       
    4.  
    5. Tangier: Yes he's really all gorgeous, LOL I never thought he looked gentle till I saw him in person, he looked kinda serious and intense in pics to me, but in person he is just like you said, pensive and gentle, was gonna be a neutral serious man before he arrived, now he inspired me to give him a more colorful joyful look, we'll see :P And hope you and your cat don't have to starve to get him :)
      Oh and your Vega is so sexy, like so much his face-up and wig, he looks so mischievous.
       
    6. LOL! True!
      And thanks! Bart's currently busy arguing with Marcus.
      About everything.
      Seems they don't see eye-to-eye on anything. lol
       
    7. Ooooh, how so bad I would dream of having a Sabik to bring home, but I probably will never get one due to how expensive they are. ^^; It's still nice to see everyone uploading pictures of their dolls, but I wish I could have one myself, lol.
       
    8. Hey there - Please help? Can anyone tell me if there is a difference, however slight, in the Sabik Elf facial sculpt and the regular Sabik facial sculpt (no, ears don't count, lol!) I am seriously enabled by Graratium and others so it's time to bite the bullet before Sabik follows Rex and Meisa down the rabbit hole. From looking at Soom's pictures it seems there is a difference, perhaps Elf has more defined cheekbones and what I call the "muzzle" area - wider mouth. Am I wrong? Could be the way the guys were photographed - not many exciting angle shots of the regular Sabik - mostly just frontal. Also, duhhhh, not having paid attention, is the Elf Sabik even available anymore for FFD? Input appreciated, please.
       
    9. I have them both and there is no difference aside from the ears that I noticed. Elf Sabik was still available in the FFD as of the last sale in June, though now unfortunately only in normal skin.
       
    10. I'm surprised there isn't more activity going on in this thread right now!
      The ordering period opened up today and we have 5 days so get cracking people!

      Antares
      Bellatrix
      Betel
      Vega
      Vega (male type)
      Sabik
      Sabik Elf
      Corvi
      Saiph
      Saiph (male type)
      Deneb

      All the dolls are available in NORMAL SKIN only.

      ※ Ordering period : From August 16th ~ August 21st 2012.



      Unfortunately Soom seems to be at least 2 days behind in answering their questions... and I really wanted to order today, so does anyone happen to know?:

      First, is Premium EMS the same thing as EMS, but faster? Like an express version of EMS? I just wanted to make sure before spending extra money.

      2nd, I wanted to order Bellatrix and a pair of the feet that have high heels on them, but it says that Bellatrix has tawny skin and the shoe/feet only come in normal and white... will normal match? or is it possible to have the feet done in tawny to match her? Then again, their annoucement says that all the dolls are in normal skin only, so maybe they wrote her description wrong?

      3rd, how long does it take to complete the order and ship it? I read about the shipping times, but I don't think I saw anywhere about how long it takes to prepare the order for shipping.
       
    11. Premium EMS is for Italy and... some other country with postal issues. It's not any faster than traditional EMS.
       
    12. Hmm... that's weird, because it lists a bunch of different other countries in there too.

      In their faq it says something about ordering express, but I don't see any options for that?

      Edit:
      Ah screw it, I ended up ordering! I just couldn't wait.
      I altered my message on their Q&A board though just to make sure that the heel thing will work out and for future refference about the shipping info. Plus really want to know how long it's going to take to get my dolls....
       
    13. My loving husband ordered my human Monzo for me (since I was stuck at work when the sale period opened), and when he did, he ponied up for the EMS Express, thinking it would be faster.
      Nope. Wasn't.
      My Antares took a while, three months I think, but then I went full set for him, so I'm sure that slowed him down somewhat.

      So, what'd you get!?! What'd you get?!
       
    14. Well, it's been a long while since I posted on here. At that point I was waiting for my Deneb to come home. I haven't posted since, but I really wanted to share my girl with you guys. I know this group is mostly into the male MA's, but I really love my girl and I'm super happy with her. At some point I might get her a Bo to keep her company. I know Sabik is the super popular guy, but I really like Antares. I have a floating Vega head that I MOD'd into a girl to be Andie's, (my Deneb), rival.Here's Andie's pic. Her face up is by me.

    15. your girl looks great DW!

      Lucky you! Glad your husband could help :)

      I ordered Bellatrix and Antares and I had ordered the feet with high heels, but Soom got back to me and told me that Bellatrix IS going to be tawny skin and the heels are only available in normal and white. I decided to go ahead and leave the heels in the order, because they might match my Loong Soul doll when I get her. If not, maybe I can dye or blush them to get close enough for one of my girls to wear.
       
    16. Andie looks great - got all the right moves and clothes to catch the guys' eyes! She can have her pick of the big men; I'm sure they're lining up for her to peruse. Antares is yum! I absolutely love his frowning serious look. It's a great counter to my Sabik's laid-back, lofty grin.

      Dirili - Congratulations! Two big lovelies! ^___^ Can't wait to see that box opening! I hope you get front door delivery! ;)
       
    17. I don't usually bother with photographing box openings, but I AM kind of excited about these 2 hehe, so maybe I will actually do one for them.

      When I get dolls I'm usually too eager to get them open and unwrapped and don't want to slow down to take pics lol I'm not one of those people that enjoy the wait or slowly opening each piece. I want to get them opened, faceup'd, blushed and clothed asap hehe. I feel really happy looking at the finished results.
       
    18. Yeah, I used to take box opening pix, but lately, .... maybe it's because we wait so much longer now? lol
       
    19. For some reason I never photographed me opening a box. I'm usually so excited to get the doll home I have the box opened before I realize I've done it, LOL!
       
    20. hehe possibly. I'm totally mental though so it's probably different for me. I go through this rollercoaster of emotions:

      oooooh it's going to feel like 5 years before I get my freaking doll(s)!
      What if I forget about my ordered and then they don't send the doll(s) o_O
      What if they don't send me the dolls till the dispute period ends?!
      What if they SAY that they sent the dolls and I never receive them and they won't help me?

      And I'm super social phobic with a touch of agoraphobia, so to add:
      What if they send me the wrong stuff, or damaged items and I have to go to the post office?! Gah! (needless to day I can't go to airports unless I am severely sedated).

      I watch those tracking pages like a hawk lol.
      Get the package, inspect, relief, then work time!
