One Sexy Meiki 🥰

Decided to do a little photo shoot with Veronica, my Meiki Evo Plush.
Veronica was my very first plush doll and my first attempt to craft a plush doll face with real eyes.

Looking good (y)

Super stuff (y):)

Surprising good shape for a plushie. Love her!

Thanks!
That's what attracted me too her. Meiki's come with just a blank face and no body details at all, but that figure... :love:

You have done wonders!

Veronica is absolutely gorgeous. Fabulous Body and you’ve done an amazing job with her face. Very impressed 🤩

I am looking at where her arms meet her shoulders? Are they rotatable? That would be awesome on a plushie.

If not, that would make an awesome mod. And it would not detract from her looks because it already looks that way. And with your talent, I would not be surprised if your mod looked better than current appearance.

Rotatable shoulders have been on Teddy Babes for ever , but I lost mine to some odd bodge owner that thought he knew better , and after that no one wanted me ☹️ , untill I was adopted by mr track 👍😁

Carly ♥️🥰😍

Thanks!
Thanks! I was trying to figure out how to mount acrylic eyes in a plush head and Veronica served as my guinea pig. Sometime prior I had challenged Robert at Valentina Girls to do the same which he did, but eyes like that didn't look quite right in the existing VG head. It was clear the head would have to be redesigned, but neither of us was quite sure how to go about it.

Then, along comes the Meiki Evo Plush with it's nondescript blank face. Seemed like the perfect test bed to me, so I got one and had at it. I learned a lot from doing that face and what I came up with ended up being the inspiration for VG's "Real Head" option, spawning a plethora or other real options.

I've since perfected the design, giving the heads I later made for my Valentina Girls greater detail and the ability to be removable.
Yes, both the shoulders and hips rotate on the Meiki Evo. I had considered incorporating rotating arms in my Valentina Girl designs, using magnets rather than disks to attach the arms. Similar to the way some mannequins are designed. Went off the idea though, because the top of the arm goes out of alignment with the shoulder when the arms are raised. Same with rotating hips. In certain positions the alignment is just completely off. I find the ball and socket skeleton I've been using in my VG's lately, to be a better compromise, allowing for limited, but more natural movement.
Aw... poor thing. We all love you. 😘

The Meiki Evo's rotating shoulders and hips are similar to TB's design, but employ hard plastic disks that lock together without the need for wire armature's or cotter pins. The swivel point of the hips is also positioned differently, highlighting the curve of the behind and favoring a seated position.

Mmm, pushing me towards the plushy side 👍

I never understood the appeal of plush dolls until I got one. Now I have 5 and can't imagine having any other kind. 😉

More sexiness from Veronica. 💖

One is enough in this house. Holly is already quite a handful, if you know what I mean.

I just have one of some things. One wife, one TPE gal and that's plenty, but you can never have enough plush friends. Just ask, Dhila. 🧸

One plushie and a hybrid type of plushie girl is okay for me at the moment, well they say two's company and three is a crowd😁.

If I did think of getting another lady in the future I would probably go for a plushie though😁, but perhaps with more movement of poses.

Valentina Girls does offer an articulated skeleton option that makes them very bendy. I make my own using large ball and socket armature. Nice to be able to pose them without props, but adding internal structure does change the way they feel when cuddling.

Veronica is a Meiki Evo. They have no internal structure as such, but incorporate rotating disks at the shoulders and hips. That along with how densely they are stuffed, gives them limited poseability.

Going through some of my old photos, Veronica looked kind of sexy even before she had a face. :love:

Well I wonder if folk do this with this type of lady

You could pretend you were sleeping with a different female celebrity every night! The girl from ABBA one night and Kate bush the next

Yeah, a lot of people do just that. Put a mask on them. That was actually my original plan. Only I was going to cover the mask in fabric to match the rest of the doll. Problem was, I couldn't find the right fabric.

There's a guy over at TDF that made a mask for his out of a cosmetology head. Another just mounted a TPE head in place of the Meiki head. He did it by bolting some M16 thread bar stock to a block of wood, fastened that inside the neck and screwed the head on. Lot's of ways to give Meiki's a nice face.

These look really interesting, never heard of them until I just spotted your thread, another plushy purchase option I think :)

They're pretty neat, well built and very economical. Not as nice to cuddle as Valentina Girls in my opinion and lack factory customization, but probably better proportioned overall.

I was very impressed with the proportions and shape, I always think the Teddy Babes are a tad skinny but I guess it comes down to personal taste again. I have to say your Meiki looks really good and face mods are great.

Well, thank you kindly. That was my first attempt at constructing a realistic face. Lot's of missteps, but I've since perfected the process with my Valentina Girls.
