General Mecha Angel discussion thread!

Eek! I'm now posessed by the urge to try to buy another of the MAs before it's too late... Even though I really don't have the funds after attempting to buy bodies for all of my floating heads this year...

I really really hope the confusing message means the sculpts will come back in some form or another, like SuperGem form Sabik

 

ergh I wish they would just make new body sculpts like they did for the super gems. There's definitely a really good market for tall dolls out there and Mecha Angel faces are super beautiful!

Now that they have some competition in that height range with IOS 80s, Leeel's 90 and Lume doll's Usil, that may have hurt their sales a bit. Still think that if they just tried to refine the body sculpts they'd sell really well, especially since their price range was decent, not charging over $1,000 per doll like Leeel and Lume.

 

Ah, no, I hope they don't completely close the line! I was desperately hoping they'd open a special order period for the MAs in white skin sometime... I want my WS Vega! Now I'm killing myself for not snatching that Vega Last Song I saw on the MP a while ago... being a poor student sucks so much. T_T

 

I really want to get a Sabik so I hope they at least release a super gem size version. I wonder why they are giving up on the Mecha Angel line. It must not be selling enough I suppose.

 

I thought it said they were just closing the website and putting them on the Gem website later this year?

 

safir, Exactly, why should they warn if they are just moving their dolls in to gem part of the website...

derilan85, it would be good... sadly there is Sooms reply to someone on Russian bjd forum about it:

"Actually the Mecha Angel site will be closed forever starting October 20th 2013.
However, we do not know if we will release the Mecha Angel as they are on the Gem site, or if they will be released as Super Gem dolls.
What is for sure is, we do not want to give up on these molds, and we want to offer them to our Mecha Angel fans with a new concept.
Please check it out later this year.^^"

For me MA size and slender body are one of their charming points, I can't imagine my Sabik on SG body... It's strange they are not sure what they will do... :/

 

Problem is that even though they are moving the Mecha Angels to the Super Gem site, that doesn't mean that they will still do the periodic pre-orders anymore. They have so many sculpts on the Gem site and they don't re-release dolls very often. For all we know, they will just sit there "sold out" forever and never get put back up for re-release unless enough people request a specific sculpt.

 

I wrote to Soom and they have said that they will still be selling Mecha Angels every couple of months up until October this year. I also asked if they were likely to release their sculpts in super gem size and they said there was no plans for that at present. Looks like I will have to get one in the next few months!

 

Just sharing a picture of my Bellatrix Her name is Cressida ♥

 

Beautiful Safir!

 

She is stunning! Beautiful photo of her!

 

safir Oh my! Perfect Stylish Lady!

 

There aren't enough Antares lovers out there! Personally I think he's more handsome than Sabik hehe

I finally got some decent pics of my Socrates yesterday:

 

Ah! Maybe that's whom I should get pictures of!
I like what little I can see of your boy's jacket! Pretty! And good gosh, I love that profile!
I'm a Sabik fan - though both of the sculpts are lovely. I think my Sabik would push my Antares off the doll shelf if I liked Antares more!

 

lol, your Sabik is a bit of the jealous type eh? I would soooo love to see more of other peoples' Antares! I've been surprised just how little I see of them.

You can see Socrates full outfit here if you like: http://www.denofangels.com/forums/showthread.php?560375-Socrates-(Soom-Mecha-Angel-Antares)
But my old pictures of him are terrible. My new camera is better, but I still have to take a million pictures to get one decent one.

 

I'm pretty sure my Sabik would feign innocence and have set someone else up to take the fall. Possibly even with photographic evidence.
I love that jacket! It's just gorgeous.
Oh heck, I have a great camera, and I still take a bazillion shots to get one really good one. I think that's just how it goes.

Edit:

Marcus and Bart by aernath, on Flickr
Marcus: Hey! We're best buds! Don't let that death glare fool you!

 

Thanks so much I really liked the material when I picked it up. I totally want to make more stuff for my dolls out of it, but I don't want it to look like they are wearing some sort of uniforms hehe

Your boys are awesome! hehe it looks like Marcus is threatening Bart's throat.

 

Hi there - just tuned in to see the latest news on Mechas - Guess if we want any of the gentle giants as they are now we'd best hurry. I want a Sabik and safir, your beautiful Bellatrix makes me verrrrry tempted to add a lady for my guys!

Oh, you gave your boy teeth? Or is that a trick of the light? He looks good!
