Mystic Kids 1/4 Discussion

Kaine @Magnus Vale looks really good in his new outfit. He looks like a noble I've been facing problems finding a suitable wig for Ethan (MK Francis). I wanted a short wig (masculine cut) but everything seems too long on him.

 

Thanks @angelia135 ! I was kinda going for that aesthetic! I ended up getting his wig on Ebay, actually. I like it because the hair curls nicely around his pointy ears, but it's a bit too big, so I'm going to need to get a rubber cap to put underneath.

Meta (my Mystic Kids Gene) is back from getting his face-up redone! Very happy!

 

@Magnus Vale - Very nice!

 

Very well done!

 

Meta (@Magnus Vale) looks really cool with his new face up. I like the colour of the eyeshadow . Additionally, Glade and Beryl (@xyuemoto ) do look good in their sportswear

Here's Ethan trying too hard to look adorable with his puppet and headgear. Have an awesome week, everyone!

@angelia135 - Ethan is very cute, haha.

 

Thank you

 

Glade and Beryl head to the market.

 

Another pic of Meta being pretty. Trying out new wigs again.

 

My mystic Kids Lilian (on a boy body) was my first bjd ;;;
And even though I've reshelled him as another character/he's currently got no face-up
I still think he's such a cute sculpt

 

This is such an interesting combination. Additionally, he (Lilian) looks really adorable even when he’s not spotting a face up

 

Beryl.

 

@xyuemoto Beryl looks dashing in his outfit - looking hip and trendy

 

@angelia135 - Thanks.

 

Meta's switched over to his summer outfit, so no more coat for a while.

 

@Magnus Vale - Cool eye and hair combo, they glow so nicely.

 

Thank you @xyuemoto ! I wanted to go with a sort of light ashy blonde/brown color to go with his pearl motif. And the eyes were a lucky purchase from Taobao years ago, I still can't believe how luminous they look in certain light.

 

@Magnus Vale - Wow, cool you still had them. I am waiting on new eyes for my boys that I hope look cooler than the basic ones they have now. They might arrive this week, hopefully.

 

@xyuemoto I tend to hoard things, and I'm pretty sure I purchased them with Meta's character in mind, before I purchased his actual body. I need a better place to store all of my eyes though.

I still haven't decided if my Tremmel boy, Kaine, will be keeping his old eyes or getting a new pair. I'll see which ones suit his new face-up more when his head gets back.

Is Beryl getting new eyes? I like the ones he has now, but I bet the new ones will look great too! Trying out new eyes is always fun.

 

@Magnus Vale - His is, unfortunately I could not find eyes I liked with very similar colour (whiteish blue) at all and the seller has to be able to do black sclera. But these look really bad and flat in person as the sclera colour and iris is just a piece of flat paper behind a clear dome. I really like the colour scheme he has but I can't find it anywhere, I am hoping I like the new ones when I see them in person.

 

@xyuemoto I hope you do! If it helps, I know that GalaxyNook on Etsy does custom eyes, and they've done black sclera before, so they might be worth checking out if you don't like the pair that comes in. I hope they do look nice, for your sake, though!

 

@Magnus Vale - Thanks. I will check it out.

 

Kaine is back from getting his face done!

 

@Magnus Vale - He looks very cool. Nice stylish outfit too.

 

Glade and Beryl.

 

Your boys are looking lovely as always, @xyuemoto! Does Beryl have his new eyes in? They look bluer than normal! I like the color.

 

@Magnus Vale - Yes, they both have new eyes. I really like them. They still look like themselves despite the slightly different colours, so it really worked out. Unfortunately my crappy phone camera doesn't pick up the colours in Glade's eyes that well. They kind of traded whose eyes don't show well in pictures now, haha.

 

@xyuemoto Oh, I knew that Beryl was getting new eyes, but I wasn't sure about Glade. Comparing to the older photos, you can definitely tell the difference though! I DO really like the new color on him, kinda has subtle hints of green and gold in it? Almost like a hazel grey, it's really pretty. I guess I just kinda caught onto Beryl right away because I love black sclera eyes so much, haha.

 

@Magnus Vale - Yeah, I looked at an old photo by mistake earlier and was kind of shocked that Beryl's eyes looked so white and not whiteish blue anymore after seeing him in these for a bit, haha. Glade's new eyes are actually a slate blue ring fading to light blue with an orangeish brown ring around the pupil (the old ones were a light periwinkle blue). My phone camera and lighting are just really bad. I was worried they might not look like themselves but they do, so they got a nice upgrade to more detailed eyes with effects which is what I wanted but without changing anything about the characters.

 

@xyuemoto I like them both! The new eyes really suit them, and it's true how having nicer, more detailed eyes can really enhance a look! I'll probably be doing a bit of eye experimenting myself.

I like the sparkling blue on Kaine, but was wondering if he might look good with black sclera eyes. I'm getting two pretty pairs, one purple with sparklies and regular sclera and one with pink swirl and black sclera, along with a blind box of three eyes soon, so might be switching around a bit. Meta, Rae, Lionel, and probably Kazhiel all have their perfect eyes, but everyone else is up for grabs at the moment.

 

@Magnus Vale - What do you mean by swirl?

 

Kinda like the glittery substance in the iris is swirled around a bit. Nothing too fancy.

 

My boys got their swords:

 

@Magnus Vale - They look very cool!

I need more 1/4 scale weapons in my collection as a lot of my characters are fighters but I only have the luts one for now.

 

Thank you! They're actually keychains from some anime that I don't know, but the size worked out perfectly! Most of my characters are part of a fantasy RPG based story, so I wanted something for them at least.

 

Glade and Beryl in autumn.

 

@xyuemoto Loving the tiger shirts and the cute tiger plush! The boys look great!

Kaine's just hanging out in the kitchen for now in his spring duds.

 

@Magnus Vale - Thanks. I just noticed how long Kaine's scarf/tie is. Very cool. Nice diorama, I like how you arranged the props.

 

Got Meta a new shirt/jacket and some snazzy horns, so of course it was photo time!

 

@Magnus Vale - He looks very cool! Where did you get the horns? I've been looking for some shaped like that.

 

I got them from Synthetic Ephemera! They went to a convention recently and put a bunch of their overstock horns for sale. I got the medium size for Meta here and for Kaine.

I need to get a better picture of Kaine's. XD

 

@Magnus Vale - Thanks for the link. Kaine looks really cool too.

 

@xyuemoto Hope you find something you like. And thanks! I love Kaine's look, even if I end up wrestling with his wig too often. XD

 

@Magnus Vale - How heavy are the horns? If you bump it a bit will they fall off?

 

@xyuemoto They're on a magnets system. I actually used some of my own strong magnets I had around, (I think I ordered them from amazon) for the head ones. So they stay on pretty well. The horns themselves are 3D printed, so they're pretty light.

 

He is so handsome omg.

 

Thank you so much! He is definitely one of my favorite boys, for some reason he and Meta (my Mystic Kids Gene) seem to photograph the best!

 

My clown Nugget (Oscar) is my Trickster. He has found a use for the acrylic paint poo that I made with a crummy old tube of brown paint. Watch out on Halloween.
We brought the tricks for trick for treat by SteamWitch, on Flickr

 

Glade and Beryl in summer.

 

@xyuemoto Your boys are lovely as always, and looking ready for the upcoming warm weather!

Here's Meta and Orion hanging out! Orion's technically a Dollzone head, but I much prefer the aesthetic of the Mystic Kids body, so he's borrowing Kaine's until I can get him his own! I think it's a pretty nice hybrid between the two.

 

@Magnus Vale - They look really cool. The glowing eyes are really nice effect.

 

@xyuemoto Thanks! The glowing effect is actually unintentional, Meta's eyes just do that! XD

 

A photo of Bibi in her unfinished outfit

 

I ordered my first Mystic Kids doll, a Beth, through Alice’s Collections last night. Kinda feeling some anxiety about it, because it’s my first time ordering a doll through them, and I’m doing a layaway, too, so I don’t really know what to expect. Does anyone know their average wait time? Also, if there are any Beth’s out there, I would love to see! Her hashtag doesn’t even exist on Instagram, at the moment, so I haven’t seen any owner pics of her.

 

I've ordered through them two times (paid in full) and the wait times were 5 and 3 months. The 5 month wait was quite unusual, I guess, as back when I ordered AC had told me that the wait should be around 2 or 3 months. Maybe there was something wrong with my order. I've seen one person who bought an MK doll at the same time as me and they received it 2 months later.
Anyway, 3 months seems to be the average for 2018/2019.

 

thank you so much for the quick reply! Not too long then. I’ll definitely be paying off my 6 month layaway early haha

 

Glad I could help! If you want some more recent info (as MK's production time may be affected by the virus or some other factors) you could ask AC. They are always really helpful when it comes to these things.

 

Glade in winter.
