Volks AllTenshis discussion (Yo-Tenshi, Sei-Tenshi,Rei-Tenshi)

Thank you, Aree! I'm honestly not sure when my little one was made, but I won't feel so bad about removing the blushing then. Her little head is with Rabiruna at the moment anyway.

I suppose I should get her some shoes as well... ^^;

Aishiteru, I hope you get a Sei-Tenshi! They are so precious. I wish I could attend Dolpa and win one. I feel like it would be more special that way. But I still love my little one nonetheless!

 

Is Gallifrey wearing a Tardis shirt? How suiting...did he steal that shirt or did the shirt steal him?! Lol

 

Here is a shot of my Sei-Tenshis. I find it is easiest to use outfits that tie at the neck. These are all jumpers made by Spampy. They fit wonderful. I also found these little cell phone chairs from Claire's stores work really well to sit them in since they can't really sit well in a regular chair.
I have not won any of these at dolpas. Most are bought or traded or lent or presents from very good friends.

 

AreeElf: thanks. The first one on the left does not have any markings inside his head at all. He was a very early one. Maybe they didn't use letters in the beginning? He is from the first NYC dolpa. I don't know why, but my monitor is only showing 3 dolls. the whole right side of the photo is cut off. I think a lot of my photos have been getting cut off the right side lately. Is there new guidelines now for posting photos?

 

Congratulations, you have a fetus! Or as my friends call it, a lima bean. She looks so totally different from Jimmy, it knocks me out.

The strung wings are weird - but it is cool that at least you can change the angles. (But be careful not to spin 'em around too much, though - I had one of Jimmy's wings come off in my hand once! Dunno how it had unscrewed from its eye-hook, but that's what'd happened.)

 

Is her faceup default? It looks different from Volks, but maybe I'm just not seeing all of it. She's clearly a hat person. ^^ Yeah, these fetuses definitely save you mucho $$ on clothes & shoes!

If the wing does come off the eye-hook, it's just a matter of fishing that eye-hook back out of the hole, so you can screw/glue the wing back on. The eye-hook is threaded onto the arm strings, so it won't actually get lost. But at that tiny size, it's tricky to handle! For me, it took the combination of some good offset needlenose tweezers + a friend to help steady things. (Big dolls are so much easier to wrangle. ;;^^)

 

Oh my goodness, she is quite different! Different sculpt altogether. With her big cheeks, narrow eyes and curly smile, oddly enough the first thing her features reminded me of was SD17 Reisner.

Jimmy doesn't have a single seam line! He is truly as smooth as a shelled lima bean. Which can make him hard to hang onto sometimes. He's practically frictionless. ;; He was a 2007 model, maybe they did em differently back then.

No, I haven't seen the new Sendai Reitenshi-- do you have a link? Little Yo-Bontenmaru nearly did me in, being so much like the big Masamune Date... seeing that haughty face in embryonic form must be hilarious. XD Seeing the 3 of them together would be a huge ZOMG.

 

Heheheee, oh squee! What a funny little dude. That face looks a bit like Jimmy-- the squishy mouth, the half-open eyes, the same thumb-hand. But the eyebrows are less saucy, and he's got straight legs. And the Bontenmaru onesie is an absolute scream.

I don't think I've ever met a straight-legged Reitenshi... they seem so TALL. ^^ How tall are they standing, compared to the fetal ones? The fetuses are about 10cm.

 

Hey, guys I have a question. Is there any kind of gallery or catalog of molds for the Sei Tenshis? I know there are lots of different ones and I was hoping someone had compiled a few photos. Any advice is much appreciated

Oh my gosh So I just won my very first Sei Tenshi! Admittedly not by lottery or raffle at a Dolpa but from ebay. He is precious and adorable with a more than like non-default faceup and a detached wing. The seller says she reglued it with hot glue and the damage is not clear yet. Once he gets here I will be sure and post pics of the wing area to ask for advice as to the best way to repair it if it isn't a clearly easy fix already. Oh man! So excite Can't wait to meet my new baby boy

 

@Aree, Oh my-- you were getting one of the fumi-tenshi? With the big toothy grins? I'm sorry to hear that the deal fell through, but can I tell you, those things scare the full-blown gonzo bejesus out of me. ;;^^

Also, I have never seen a tattooed Reitenshi before, so I'm eager to see the pics.

Also-also, I totally flaked for the past 3 months, on asking you where on earth did you get such a tiny fez?? Zee-oh-em-double-gee! There is something ineffably marvelous about the is-ness of an angel in a fez. Sort of like a vicar in a tutu. Anyway, aww, if only those came in Reitenshi/Pocketfairy sizes. The Jimster would absolutely knock 'em DEAD in a fez.

But for right now, Jimmy is busy grooving on his new pheasant-feather mohawk. Courtesy of the Winnipeg Hair Club for Fetuses.
