Bodies and face ups...

So I have been a little quiet, so I suppose it is time to bring the blog up to date!

1. 1. Vulcan headed off to AngelToast to be redone from top to toe - new faceup, tattoos and body blushing. He's been away for a month or so, probably more like too, and I'm really eager to get him home again. As you can see from above, he matches his brothers and is looking absolutely fabulous... I'll keep all his tatts secret until he comes home... but I'll probably cave, so look for a sneak peek on Flickr.
2. The Horrible Three (Hades, Poseidon and Zeus) came home fantastic and they've been spammed the hell out of because of their awesomeness. Now all my BAs match, I can't wait to have V home so I can spam BA group shots with their matching faceups!
3. Mor and Nic got their bodies, I fixed up their wigs with a matching pair which look fantastic - and now we're just waiting on Mor's eyes, Nic got hers and we have had a snafu with the eye maker sending me the wrong pair of eyes. So I'm just waiting for the proper set (and a gift set) to come, so then Mor and Nic are all finally finished - except that Nic needs a pair of shoes.
4. In continuation of that, as Mor and Nic are complete, this gives me a new thing to squee about... I have NO floating heads! Yey! (that is of course excluding those heads which I don't count - like the two Juris whom I want to sell off, my F70 Riff which is also on the potential sell list and I think there's a Multihead Cupid there somewhere too... and some duck faces...)
5. This of course doesn't last very long, because of Fairyland/CP's epic Ital/BA event, I have two F65 scar Ital floating faces coming in at some point. Neither of them have been named yet.
6. Along with the Scar Itals, I also have two more Chiclines - an Ital, known as Inuus and a Chloe, known as Iana. The shippings have started, so it is damn tempting to scrape together the final payment (I have 2 left) and pay them off so that they can come home sooner rather than later!!
7. On that point though, I have ordered a Batchix Mini Machina Delta whose name will be Omega, so she is stopping me spending all my cash and getting my Chiclines sooner. 
8. BELISAMA! Head over to my other blog Lished to find out about that beautiful girl!
9. What else... well, nothing at the moment, although I've just realised what a twit I am... I have a perfectly good sleeping F70 BA head sitting in my head box... and I have a character for an F60 boy floating around in my head... I could just get that BA head modded and find myself a muscular F60 body to go with him...

Other than that... no, nothing much...

Something a little different

So last week I went to the local modern Doll Market - one of the only ones I know about where I met a doll I had previously only ever heard about.

On the meeting thread on DoA, one of the girls said she was bringing her Batchix Mini Machina. She added a link, so that people who didn't know what it was could have a look. Admittedly I am one of those people who had no idea what it was.

So I clicked the link.

I'm afraid the Mini Machina did not endear me too her when I had a good look at the production photos. Except for her body - it had a very attractive curve and I loved the way it was made.

Regardless, I thought it would be interesting to see this new type of doll in person. So when I went along to the market, I kept a look out for this new doll.

Famous last words. I did see her, and she was shorter than I thought and so very cute when she was blank.

She was also a lot heavier than I expected, but a nice feel - lovely resin, so smooth. And I began to see all the possibilities. So I thought - why not?

So I am getting my very own Batchix Mini Machina Delta, from the current pre-order. I have several names running through my head - the top two are Beta and Omega. Not really sure which to pick at this point. It's going to be fun to figure out how to have her painted when she finally arrives. I'll be getting her blank and hoping to get AT to have a go at her when I have her painted. Not sure how to do it yet... I'll have to have a think about it! I have a feeling it will be affected by wig choices (I'll go for a coloured mohair) and whether or not I called her Beta or Omega. They feel like very different characters.

If you yourself is interested in one of these darlings - visit Batchix's site here. This girl and her sister Eta, aren't available for long!
