General Mecha Angel discussion thread!

Thanks aernath. I'm so giddy about finally getting Mr. Sabik. Also, getting a doll early is a welcome change. All of the previous arrivals had some weird issues or took over a year to arrive. I think he'll start a new fashion: Bubble Wrap Loin Cloth: won't have time to do anything more until this weekend. I'm hoping for good weather to do his face-up and make a proper, fabric loin cloth

 

See? Look at that smile! He's workin' that bubble! ~_^

 

I love his smile. So mysterious. Why is he happy? Is the bubble wrap skirt? haha

I put Mr. Sabik together tonight. He's so tall! Even my hubby was impressed. Mr. Sabik makes my Dollshe Bernard look small. Can't wait to set him next to my Narae.

 

Heh. You won't be able to SEE your Narae for the forest of Mecha arms and legs! ~_^
Isn't he a wonderfully leggy thing? Tall, thin... yeahbaby!

 

Oh my gosh, his legs and arms are CRAZY! I love him so much.

I tried just sticking in the thigh pegs, but of course they just fall out again, so I am going to hot glue them, but I'm a little worried about re-positioning his legs. Do I have to pull his leg out of his socket and move it into the new hole? Does it really stay in place? I've gotten him to stand without it, but he's kinda wobbly.

It's oddly adorable.

 

I have been wanting a Sabik for years. Actually, my holy grail doll would be a Sabik Cyborg, but I don't see that ever happening. The Mecha Angels scare me though due to their size. Life has been so hectic this year that I totally missed the Super Gem size Sabik and I could just cry! I guess I will go on ahead and buy the Mecha Angel Sabik, but I cannot find clothing or shoes for him anywhere.

 

WOW!! MA are really are beautiful arn't they. I have only one but who knows someday--------

 

I can't believe I found this thread. I'd seen pix of Sabiks but no thread. Question for anyone who can answer it. I don't sew and haven't found anyone at all who sews for a Sabik elf. Can any of you suggest something? My guy is really tired of the make-do I've given him since he arrived last year.

 

I got a few things from M3 shop, a year or so ago: http://www.m3bjd.com/
They used to have you request in their Q&A section, but I don't see that now. But they have an email listed on the front page for questions. I'd say ask them via email, if they can still make items in Mecha Angel size. ^__^


I've actually never used the pegs. My guy seems to do just fine without. Sueding helps a lot, but even so, I don't think I sueded that part of him.
*chuckle* Sounds like a baby giraffe - all legs, gangly, wobbly, but adorable.

 

I second Aernath on the M3 studio. Got a lovely pair of pants for Goldfish there. ^_^ And if you need something a little more personal, there's a gal in the marketplace, Ayase001 if I remember right, who does lovely custom work. Most of what my mechas wear was made by her. ^__^

 

I keep an eye on the MP although that's hit or miss; mostly I make my crew's clothing. I'll have to check out M3 shop.

I'm not sure about those pegs, but they're glued in. Mr. Sabik needs a glue sueding. Good lord! He's fickle about the posing. Sometimes he stands like a rock, even in the oddest poses like this (requested by someone who wanted to see Dollshe heads on an MA body)



Other times, he fights me every step. I guess I'll have to find out what he likes perhaps..

 

I've found that if you pet them just right, and promise them treats, they will do whatever you want!

 

hehehe, I guess i haven't sweet talked him enough.

 

Thanks for the clothing suggestions. I ordered him a few days ago. How long do they usually take? I know, I know. Only a few days and I'm already asking is he here yet? lol! I know a phenominal seamstress that I'm going to see if I can talk into letting me pay her to sew some things for him.

 

Why arent there any databases for mecha angel generally? there are only for sabik, saiph, vega ect..... but what about us with Deneb's and the rest, where are we supposed to post??? TT__TT I Could start one myself, but i dont dare....

thats why i spam you instead, Here is my fresh painted Deneb. we have a loong history together, but its not up until now it stars to right.
hope you like him.

 

Hmm, perhaps it's because there was a general Soom database and there weren't many Mecha's around? Or we all put them there and didn't want to be redundant. No reason we can't have one though, I'll go make one.

ETA: new Deneb Database here! Can't help with the other ones because Deneb is the only Mecha I own, but databases don't have to be created by a moderator so don't be shy!

And there's also a Photo Reference thread for Deneb which really needs contributions from someone other than myself!

 

bunnylungs, your Deneb boy is really lovely

Since this thread is not very active, I'm putting picture of my MA Sabik - Adriel :P

 

I'm loving all the beautiful Sabiks When Soom restock i'm going to try to get one for myself! Hope they don't sell out to quickly.

 

Guys, did you read the notice about closure of MA website? Somehow the message sounds a little strange to me... nothing really clear...

 

I noticed the announcement too and found it a little confusing.. Like, did they mean that they're only going to close the website and then sell Mechas on the Gem site or if they're going to end the whole Mecha line and make new versions of the existing sculpts in Super Gem size like they did with Saiph and Sabik? O_o If they're only planning to transfer selling Mechas to the Gem site, I don't understand why they gave such a "warning" almost half a year before..
