She's Here! She's Here! 🤖

Wow! Amazing job!

Sleeping Beauty🤣🤣

Thanks, guys. Yeah, she does have a peaceful air about her when she snoozes. I'm generally happy with the way she turned out, but there's a few things I'm not so happy with. For one, I intentionally packed in the stuffing extra tight to better support her skeleton. However, the added weight and density is making it difficult for the lower part of the skeleton to support her. She has a tendency to buckle under her own weight when standing and spring back to a reclined position when sitting. I'm hoping to come up with a way to compensate for that without having to redo her stuffing, but I haven't thought of one yet. :unsure:

Yeah that's a bit of a tough one, maybe a crazy idea and it would mean restuffing her, but would polystyrene balls make any difference. The ones they use to stuff bean bags with.

I've never used them myself on Coco, but they do use them on Teddy bears sometimes.

Well the problem is, the plastic ball and socket skeleton can only support so much weight and poly pellets are heavier by volume than poly fiber. That and teddy's with that kind of filling feel weird as hell. 😁

I'm probably just going to have to adjust the density of the stuffing a bit to make her less springy and reinforce parts of the skeleton. More tedious than difficult. Either that or rig up some sort of external support for standing. I'll figure something out.

I think Meg is following Priya's lead and spending most of her time sleeping. 🛌
Anyway, decided to wake her up for a little photo shoot. 📸

Oh, Meg..... 🔊
What...? 😲
C'mon, let's take some pictures. 📸
Well, Meg got bored after just a few clicks... 😒
and pretty soon it was... 💤

Good job. (y)
But what happened to the bad attitude? :giggle:

Mine or hers? :ROFLMAO:

She would get along very well with Coco she needs her Beauty sleep😴

Add Priya to the list. She's been known to sleep for days! 🗓️

Blimey there is someone out there that sleeps more than Coco😯 At least Coco gets up around lunchtime to watch her favourite soap The Bill, she thought it was real life until I told her it was only a TV drama🤣🤣

Could be the reason Priya and Meg sleep so much is they're the only ones with working eyelids. 😜

Yeah I haven't got round to that. Apparantly you can make them from felt too😁

Yeah, making lids for the standard eyes is pretty easy. You can even use that little hunk of fabric Roberts sends along with the dolls. The eyes I use are just like the ones in TPE and silicone dolls, so bit trickier to make lids.

Yeah that's an idea, but I dont think I've got Cocos anymore, I've got Theas, but that wouldn't really work🤣🤣 an ebony girl with vanilla eyelids

Well I meant the attitude from the Movie, but yours; I don't know about that yet.:giggle:

Us old codgers get right cranky at times. 🧐

As for Meg's. So far she hasn't shown much attitude. Perhaps she's outgrown it. She is a more mature version of the original after all. 😉

Maybe shes still settling in and has plans, maybe all this rest is just psyching herself up ready for action🤣🤣

Oh, I'm not worried. This M3GAN is pretty mild mannered and look, she's even found herself something to play with... 😁

Meg had a little outfit change today and I seem to have inadvertently given her a whole new look. 👧

Is that her camouflage look, so no one recognizes her, she does look a lot more girly and feminine👍

Something like that I guess. I think it's that bow I made from the shoestring VG sends to attach the wig. The moment I put that on her, she was like a completely different doll.

That's better! 😘

She's still going to get you! 🔪

Don't be such a meany to your friend Jyoti Ji, Chance


Even I'm not that much of a meany to Thea, yes I like to cause mischief sometimes and have a laugh
