General Mecha Angel discussion thread!

Oh wow! Nice couple candygears!

I'm fascinated by Mr. Have's inkwell eyes. They're gorgeous!

 

Wow candygears, gorgeous dolls! I just love their styles, they look so unique ♥

And Dirili, yes it's a bit weird that all the announcements said ALL dolls only available in normal skin, yet the truth was something else actually and there was an exception... It might cause trouble to Soom if someone purchased Bellatrix thinking that she'd be NS and then be disappointed after receiving her :/ I'm starting to grow fonder of the idea of her being in tawny though, the character I was planning for the sculpt might look better than in NS. The only things that bother me are thinking what if the color is not so pretty IRL and not being to able to order the resin high heel shoes for her in the right skin tone

 

Thank you so much guys! These are my two favorite dollies, I'm glad you like them too

 

I know! I would imagine that would have happened with a few people if Bellatrix was ordered without questions.

And with the high heel feet, I love those too! My Bellatrix isn't the type of character that would wear heels, but they are so beautiful that I bought a pair because I don't mind blushing them to match different dolls. Unfortunately they feet are so large they don't scale with any other dolls I have though T_T It's so odd because the normal feet for both male and female mecha angels aren't really particularly large. In fact they are smaller than smaller dolls like Iplehouse and all.

candygears, I love seeing pictures of that boy of yours I'm a big fan.

 

I was tempted to get the heel feet, because they seem to work with the man MA body as well as the female, but I resisted. No heels for my boy. XD;

I did ultimately cave and order the Jointed Hand kit though. Especially since Soom is apparently kind of bad for "varies from batch to batch", so I figure that if I ordered it while they were still taking MA orders, that it'd be pretty close/working close to my Antares kit.

...Also, I am seriously hoping that the free clothes I get for my future Antares will be PANTS. I have the funniest impression that for pants it's pretty much either buy from the MA store, sew your own, or commission someone on DoA/some doll clothes service that'll tailor to specific measurements. XD;

Can deal with him being shirtless for awhile, but I don't like to leave my guys pants-less any longer than I absolutely have to.

 

Aces Delta, the Dollmore Glamour Model pants fit mechas almost perfectly. MIGHT be a tad short but some aren't even that. If that helps. . .

 

Really? I'll definitely take note of that!

Because, yeah. And heck, finding a good pair of boots that fit Mechas? You wouldn't be able to tell if the trousers were a bit short..

Thank you!

 

Sadly, the iplehouse heels in question do not fit the MA high heel feet. The ball of the foot is too wide and the foot is too long, even if the sling back strap was entirely unbuckled it wouldn't work.

 

Oh I see But thank you for telling this! Shoe hunt continues XD I even asked Soom if they'd consider making the high heel shoe parts in tawny resin but they said they have no plans... But I think I'll buy them in normal skin and try to blush them somehow to match the rest of the body. Then she'll have at least one pair of "shoes" that fit her for sure.

 

I wanted to join in the fun, I have bellatrix and Antares on order. They are on layaway so will take some time as im also paying off a soom Dia boy. I hope to find help with what clothes I can buy for them. I have noted about the dollmore glamour model pants for my boy!

I didnt know Bellatrix will come as a tawny! But im quite happy about that

 

A woman after my own heart XD Those are the two I have as well.

 

Hee hee, yeah I saw that you had them both Dirili. How do you cope with clothes for Bellatrix?

 

I just ordered my Bellatrix too

Luckily I won't be having the clothing problem as I mostly sew myself, as long as I find some fabric and other supplies that would make it possible to carry out my plans.. I already have some idea of what kind of style my girl would have, but as I don't have dolls of this size home I can't really start making anything (but jewellery maybe) before she's home ^^; So there's no hurry.

 

*looks down*
ummm... she's still naked hehe.
I refuse to buy doll clothes so I make them all and she's still waiting in line.
Haven't had time since the holidays to do much sewing because I had some extra work come up that's been keeping me busy.

Hopefully I'll get to sew for her sometime in the next 2 weeks! But I think that's a bit optimistic.

 

woo! I'm now halfway through my layaway for Sabik! (I'm already getting impatient even though it'll be 2 more months before he's even paid for...)
I'm thinking he looks rather like Bowie in some respects (Actually the photo that is my avatar rather cemented that opinion - Sabik has Bowie's mouth!) so he may be getting a very Bowie-esque face-up

Anything dramatically different to other bjds about these guys that I need to know about? (I'm aware of the posing problems - but we'll see what he's like when he arrives I suppose)

 

Even my husband who tries to ignore the dolls as much as possible, remarked that I'd gotten "a David Bowie doll" when my Sabik came home.
He does have a bit of his look about him. ^___^ Probably why I'll never sell him. Long, thin, Duke for sure! *chuckle*

...and it should go without saying, but I love your avatar, Vetinari.

 

Thanks! I keep catching myself admiring him! If my Sabik ends up looking like Bowie I'll be pleased, I've been silently admiring everyone elses MAs this week - they all look so beautiful

 

Damn I cant sew! Least you two have some skills! I may have to get someone to make me things then.

 

I'm very excited to join this discussion. I ordered my Sabik kit yesterday on layaway, so it will be a while. What settled it for me was seeing Mr. Have up close and personal. Thanks, candygears for letting me compare Mr. Have to my Bernard (your Saiph hybrid and Clean Slate are beautiful as well). This thread is super helpful. I've read through the every page and have answers to all my Sabik questions. I think I'min love all of your MAs. My wish list just got bigger.

 

Yay! That's so exciting tenukihandcrafts! It'll be awesome to have another Sabik in the area (I'm always glad to be a bad mecha-influence!)

It seems like there's gonna be a lot of new blood from the Xmas kits, so fun!

I fell in love with Sabik based on the Bowie similarity too - his cheek shape is so like Bowie!
