I made the first payment for mine in December, I used the full Layaway so I made the final payment in March and received him in April ^^ I'm not too sure on the date of the final payment but I know when I got him ;3
His outfit's still a work in progress, (still have to finish his tunic and some other leather bits) but I couldn't pass up taking some quick pics of my boy while the weather was nice.
Oh, those are marvelous! I've always thought hand-made Mecha Angel clothing has a great success rate because it's easier to work large and in-scale detailing hardware is more readily found. Fantastic job so far!
Dream_of_Isis, it's looking great from what we can see ^w^ Gives him a Ranger feeling, or a Nature dweller thing, for me at least
Thanks for all the wonderful compliments! I have to agree that sewing for these guys is soooo much easier with room to work with and notions are more in-scale. Still have so many ideas for Verryn's ranger outfit, and I'd like to eventually make an in-scale crossbow for him. :b Will post pics when I finish some more~ ^.^ On another note, does anyone know of any company's jointed hands might fit/ match the NS? I have the Soom ones, but it kind of bugs me they're so tiny compared to the rest of him. o.O I thought maybe dollzone or Dikadoll NP might be close?
If everything goes right, I'll be able to fetch my Abel on Monday >_< Urg Hey Isis I've seen some comparisons around the Jointed Hands topic, I'll try to find it again, but the NP seemed close to Soom, but I can't tell for sure I've seen people saying they switched the MA feet with Glamour Model doll feet. I would love to get pictures of that!.... I feel tempted to do the same :\ MA Hands and Feet seem so alien in such a long big body Edit: I found this on the jointed hands topic C: Since Chrom is a very dark pink, the common Soom ns might work with Dikadoll pink
I would love to see a Betel too!! A friend of mine is absolutely in love with here and we cannot seem to find any on here D=
I'd also like to see Betel. I'd also like to put in a request to see a female Deneb if anyone has her. I've seen a lot of male versions of her, but only 1 or 2 females.
There are so few Denebs out there. I think I only ever saw one of the original tan MD. I still kick myself for not buying her. An elf Deneb would be a fantastic mod, especially if she was still on the MA girl body!
Did you see the MD Deneb on DoA or elsewhere? I'm dying to see that girl in all her splendor. She must be gorgeous.
Dream_of_Isis: Love the outfit, even though it is still in progress. ^_^ I need to make some new outfit(s) to my Sabik, and this is truly inspiring. And I also second any request to see more Deneb's (and Saiph as well).
I fell in love with Saiph, she has a beautifully sculpted body, long and slender, and such a delicate, expressive face. Think I might have a custom faceup done on her though. How often does Soom restock their Mecha Angels? I noticed that at one point they were all out of stock, then they restocked again, so I'm waiting to see if they'll do it again. *___________*
Soom does the FFD (For five days) thing with the MA's. Every month for five days Soom rotates which dolls they sale. Usually around the 15th of the month I believe.
DWphillpot, you have the MD Deneb on layaway or the NS one? @_@ Whicheverway, you definetly have to spam us!
There was someone on DoA who posted pictures of their tan Deneb with the default face-up, but she never showed her in the complete default fullset. I can't even find the post now.
St James, I found this 8D It's definetly a beautiful skin color Also, this... is this a tan deneb? I can't tell for sure
Oh, yeah! I forgot they had her at the Soom store. Too bad their displays were usually jumbled together crap. >__< You've got to try a little harder when the glorious Volks Harajuku Sumika is a few blocks away.
The NS one because that's what Soom was offering on the FFD. If things work out and they offer the other one at some point, I'll go back and get her too. I have Deneb coming without a face up. There's an artist who I did a trade with and part of that trade is a face up for Deneb and an a leather outfit which I'll pay for. I've always seen Deneb as the large doll answer to the 16" Devas, Numinias and Sybarites! She's gonna be my High Fashion Couture' model. I'm just afraid that I'm going to have to get the male equivalent to hang out with her, LOL!
She's so pretty in tan~ I wish Soom would release MA monthly doll fullsets once in awhile, like when they started out doing the MDs. I know they're not as popular, but heck, even a special order would be nice once in a while. ;_;
Hey O-o If we bug them perhaps the next lottery might have something like her... or not? Worth a try, i think. The problem with lottery is that I believe there's no layaway x_x
There's a Mecha Angel discussion thread? I didn't even know! Anyhoo, I'm currently waiting for my Sabik. I'm glad I'll have a place to discuss him/show him off. I was starting to wonder if anyone else liked MAs. XD
I am also waiting for Sabik...in fact he has just shipped!!! So excited!!! I will post him here when he arrives!!!
Lucky! I can't wait to see him! Mine is still before shipping but I just paid him off in the middle of August. So, boo! I just want him home already! He was one of my three grail dolls. In fact, I was convinced I'd never have him but I didn't know about Soom's FFD on MAs. When I found out, I ordered him on my birthday as a present to myself. I can't wait to get him home!
I had started a "what about the mechas" thread... but it didnt go to far... so thank you for this one... I'm a HUGE MA lover. My third Mecha (female) has a PatL & Twigling custom sculpt head. Its larger them the Soom head.. It fits much better on the body and looks better with the neck size and length. It fits a 11-12 wig size and she some beautiful Saiph type lips. She is half cat half human. When Im done... she will have Breccia feet modded to fit... Plus she has jointed hands I did custom long nails on. She is stunning. http://www.denofangels.com/forums/album.php?albumid=4401&attachmentid=12411 these are old pics http://www.denofangels.com/forums/album.php?albumid=4401&attachmentid=13050 http://www.denofangels.com/forums/album.php?albumid=4401&attachmentid=12482 this is the thread with the one female Mecha female I have left. http://www.denofangels.com/forums/showthread.php?379291-OOAK-Mecha-Kitty-(Soom-Mecha-Angel-female)
This is so cool! Sabik is wonderful, he was my first doll ever! Carmen, you really have the same taste in dolls! And so many other waiting for Sabik - I hope you all get him soon!
I paid mine off in the middle of August so yours can't be too far behind! Yay! I know!!!! I see you in every one of the waiting rooms I join....LOL!!! ^_^
Dekaady, I took a look at her and she's beautiful! I wish we could still get the Twigling custom heads. I don't think she's done one in a while.
Thanks DW... I just opened a cafe... so I dont get to play with my dolls as much these days. My Mom has been getting heavy into them. I just got her two in the Market place last night. The Mechas are to big for her. I like the bigger dolls. I also have a 90 cm Hale. Love him!
I had no idea there was a thread for MAs. Hello, everyone High five to the people waiting for their Sabiks, I own one (or is it the oposite? impossible to say) and it`s a gorgeous, gorgeous doll. I can`t imagine parting with mine. This is him, Ferrand or Fern Does anyone else have the foot loosing problem? I was thinking to cut the resin hooks off and glue metal ones, anyone done that?
OMG! Is that the AOD doll? I saw a BJD doll at IFDC this year, (International Fashion Doll Convention), that was huge! It was from AOD.
Carman17 + Malgitabella: D: middle of augest! my saiph was bought and paid then! so hopefully my girl wont be far behind either!! Debra: i cant see any picture :/ but i do love that 'I own one (or is it the oposite? impossible to say)' XDD
Yes Hale is the 90 cm from AOD. He is HUGE! ( : There are pics of him at my last MS doll meet up. Here he is with my Mechas and other dolls (and me) http://www.denofangels.com/forums/album.php?albumid=4401&attachmentid=13993
shelbelly - How about these links? at least one should work http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6205/6131062742_471dc2657e_z.jpg http://www.flickr.com/photos/dedrastarling/6131062742/in/photostream O.O This is the first time I see the AoD 1/2 with MAs. Daaamn, the dude is big. carmen171 - thanks ^^ nope, that`s not default, it`s a custom fantasy makeup by Sweetly Twisted, the blushing is similar to Sabik Cyborg`s ^^ wasn`t cheap, but soooo worth it.
thank you, it seems my net was just playing up XD it's now showing up... but your boy is gorgeous! :3
Sabiks is next on my list to get after Deneb. She's going to need a male model counterpart and Sabiks would be perfect!
My Sabik arrived today and he is awesome. ^ ^ Pictures tomorrow after I figure out his eyes and wig. Does anyone know what those little flesh colored pegs that Soom sends along with the S hooks are for? O.o They look like tic tacs only thinner.
Congratulations! Those little pegs are for his hip joints. If you pull a thigh out of its socket you'll see the hole for it. They are to help lock him into different leg poses.
Goodness....I would NEVER have thought of that. I was looking inside his head...LOL! Thank you so much!!! Tomorrow I am going to have some fun with him!!!! ^_~
Ahah I kept looking at the little pegs and they were screaming "lil fingers" to me >_< Congrats, carmem171 \o/
