General Mecha Angel discussion thread!

[tygati]

I went nuts over his outfit though, it's absolutely perfect for my boy. My Rex wants it and he wants it, nao!!! *slams on pay button*

I request lots and lots of pictures when that arrives. ^__^ HOT.

Ordered fullset Antares w/o faceup/blushing !!!! Who else is with me????

[aernath]

Woot! I ordered Antares fullset w/o body blushing! I'm with ya, all the way!
I even asked them about the sunglasses, as I didn't see them on the site elsewhere, and they said they do plan to manufacture those at a later date, but no set date yet.

And I got all excited, and took Marcus, my Sabik out for some camera time Saturday.


Many more here.

[carmen171]

Yay!!!! Congrats on ordering him...so now we wait!!! I also asked about the sunglasses. Victoria said to check back often, that they will indeed make them. I love Marcus and his sweater. Now with 3 MA's in the house soon I definately need more clothes!!!!!

[aernath]

The sweater's IpleHouse EID. Bit big in the back, but it's a sweater, so works well. The jeans are M3 or 3M, I forget which way it goes. lol

[RROSS]

My Bellatrix arrived yesterday but I'm out of town and didn't recieve a shipping notice so I'm soo surprised. I can't wait to get home to see her! She is in need of clothing bad....

[egura]

I have question, witch actually hunts me for few years already XD Which sculptor actually made Sabik head?
I was not in the hobby at the time he first showed up in year 2007 (or 2006), I read somewhere that Soom had biography of sculptor on their website in early days. I tried to research... but could not find any information... Maybe someone has any clue?

And here are some pics of my Adriel, I redid his face-up for the third time, and I think I did not showed him here yet^^ I'm finally very happy with result^^

[AnitaS]

Adriel is quite handsome and I particularly like him in the wig on the left.

Thank you!! The wig on the left is handmade by me

So, no one has any idea about the sculptor? T_T

[Dedra]

Ah, Adriel <3 I can say many more times, what you know already - he looks great <3
I wish I could help with the sculptor, but I`ve no idea, sorry.

Ferrand says "hi" in a spring mood ^^

[tygati]

Oh, what a lovely boy. <3 I'm loving that faceup. ^__^

[egura]

Dedra, Thank you Your Ferrand is really lovely too, I love this picture <3

Hello,
Like so much this thread, to see all those beauties! and all info and comments from owners helped me to make my mind on getting Sabik.
Loved his face since the first time I saw him, his size and price made me settle with just looking him on Flickr and DoA (never planed to have an SD, back when I started to know about bjd SD seemed to much for me).
Well, now time and him have changed my bjd plans, don't care anymore if he is 1/2 scaled to me, and all there is to it is just wait about 3 months now to meet him (I wonder if MA usually take almost all the 100 days of the Delivery Time Guarantee to be sent?). Well I guess I'll soon (wish) find out.
When I ordered him there was Antares brand new to order too, I agree he has a resemblance to Sabik and he is as handsome as all the other MA guys, loved his eyes that remind me of Benicio del Toro :P, love Deneb's lips, Corvi's nose, Vega's malice, but there is something intriguing in Sabik's expression that I just can't stand .
I love to see what everyone here has done with your boys, and I'm so interested to see what owners do with Antares.
Yea, too much rambling right, I'll be introducing my boy when he arrives (like no one here as ever seen a Sabik )

Graratiam, congratulations. Happy ramble is welcome Makes me happy too XD

I have a question to people, whose MAs have a taste for classic suits - where can I get one? did you commission or buy any classic outfits? how did they fit? were they well made? would you recommend a dolly tailor, please?

[Jesslynne]

Hate to ask but I got a body second hand and a finger had broken in transit. Does anyone know how much it'd cost to replace his hands?

If you still have the piece, I'd opt for gluing it back together. Soom's resin colors change so much from batch to batch. . . Or try a pair of jointed hands?

[Jesslynne]

I do mean to opt to get jointed hands when I've got the extra money and it is glued now - what I did the moment after photographing, but I'm looking for the cost for compensation to be refunded to me for the cost of the default hands.

Happy rambles are always fun to read! ^___^

I commissioned Bread17 a few years ago now, for a "Man Suit" in Mecha Angel size, and it was expensive (about $200 with shipping?), but man, it's awesome! I'll have to dig up some photos for you, but here is a link:
DOA link thread (in post number 7)
Mine came with the black jacket and pants, and a black shirt... and I think a tie as well. Possibly a belt. (It's been yeeeears...) I may have had to buy the shirt separately, as in the Man Suit might just be the jacket and pants, I really can't remember exactly.
No idea if I'm the only one that ever commissioned that size (I don't see it listed as an option), so you may need to do the whole list of measurements for them again. That was part of my cost, them having to make a new set of patterns, so hopefully, if they kept those measurements and patterns, it should be less than the $200 I spent.
But, very good quality and totally worth it!
Edit: I found my suit, and I got a leather jacket instead of a cloth one, so I'm sure the regular "Man Suit" will be less.


...and dunno anything about the Sabik sculptor.
*comes back after thinking about it for a bit* I DO remember there was a page a long time ago that did tell us all about the Sabik sculptor! It was when Sabik first came out. ^___^ They had a photo of him and a little story of the creation of the Mecha Angel. Sad to see it's gone now.

And Ferrand looks like he's enjoying a private joke at someone's expense... ~_^ Handsome man!

[KittyFields]

Anybody ahve any idea why sculpts like Bellatrix and male Vega are currently for sale but female Saiph and female Vega are sold out right now? Isn't it FFD time right around now? If I can't get a female Vega I will probably die of heartbreak.

I heard something about it too... thought I never saw myself, that's why I'm so desperate... I bet it's really naive of me to think someone took print-screen of that page, or at least remembers sculptors name... T_T

Update 05 03:
Is this this how old page of the sculptor looked like? I digged some web archives...

Well the body of MA is defiinetly Dimu made, it is written in chest part of my Sabik, so the head is also Dimu made?
