General Mecha Angel discussion thread!

It's great to see her - she looks amazing!

 

LyanneNZ, Thank you friend!
But... we have a new dream!
This is Elf Saiph! And then my collection will be full!

 

Sebastian is so peaceful
Like "All will be well. No doubt".

 

So, only just today, I secured a Mecha Angel Antares (so now my Sabik will have his brother home within a couple weeks). Very excited to have a pair! I don't know how Antares will want to look yet, but if he is like Sabik, he will be 'wig picky.' I hope he'll take to blond, auburn, or brown hair, just to make things different.

 

Yay! Congrats @Nissa
It will be great to see him around

 

Someone, "patiently" waiting for USPS...

@Virgile At the very top of each page right above the first post on the right hand side is a "Watch Thread" button. If you're already subscribed to the thread it'll say "Unwatch Thread". Your boy looks lovely.

 

@Cloudedmind, thank you!

 

@Virgile Your boy is so very handsome. I love looking at him!

 

I have a Mecha Angel girl body. Looking for heads to go on it. I like larger head look and wondering what companies I should try for. Thanks!

I am looking for a cutesy girl head. Can be a boy or girl to be used.

 

@sugarcactus I missed your reply originally, but I might have some ideas! Do you have a measurement for the neck by chance? Mecha Angels are fairly tall, but my two (Sabik Elf and Antares) both have quite narrow/tall necks.)

 

I've been terribly remiss, so today (once I've sorted some work stuff), I'm going to wire my Sabik and Antares for better posing.

They've been most patient with me...

 

Very late reply to this, so sorry about that!!! I have an MA girl body with an iplehouse EID girl head on it. No idea about the resin match with a new head, but both of mine are yellowed so they look fabulous together.

the doll beside her is either 65 or 68 cm, just to put in scale how massive this girlie is.

 

Ahhh @Chameleon it's always a treat to see your dolls!

 

Sabik and Antares, now wired:



And a bonus Sabine, hanging out with them.

The wiring helped immensely, but I still don't trust those shifty Mecha Angel ankles to stand unattended. They're a little sturdier in boots, but not regular shoes (as they both are now). However, sitting and all manner of arm poses and positions are fantastic now.

I've been considering rebodying them, but at their height, it's an expensive endeavor. I love their heads, and I love the tall lean bodies, but as older dolls they really cannot be said to be excellent at posing.

Draping gracefully (or mostly gracefully) about the place, or leaning? Yeah, they can do that.

 

@Nissa What beauties! Thank you for sharing them.

I wish I had more energy, I would like to wire my Sabik and Rex too (but traditional sueding is also helpful, especially with ankles). I went through the whole rebodying thought process too at a point, but then again, their old school body aesthetic is what makes them stand out, isn't it, even though they're difficult to play with. And also, the stress of finding a colour that matches that mellowed resin...
