Makies?

[True]

Has anyone here heard of them? made one? if so id love to see them.

I just found out about this, I looked through the first few pages of posts and couldnt find anything about them, so im sorry if i missed something.

Anyway its a customizable 3d printed doll, I know things like this have been popping up more and more now that 3d printing is becoming obtainable.
You can make one here: http://makie.me/

and froggy stuff does a review here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDoz2zAuOu0
Which is where I first heard of them.

I kinda like them, I even kinda like that you can see the texture in the darker skin, but I can see why other people might not. to me they kinda remind me of a Audrey Kawasaki painting.

I'm not totally sold on the rest of their anatomy, mixed with the price, but id still love to see some if people had any?

I don't have any myself, but Toy Box Philosopher has done two really detailed reviews of them.

They are really informative reviews!

I have one - they're really interesting dolls, although how much the face actually looks like the one you create can vary.  Still, I'm happy with mine.

This is the virtual version of mine:

In a different outfit, without the wig (which was glued on - I wish they hadn't done that) and with the bottom half of his faceup wiped:

Overall, I'd say that the posing is fabulous and the material of the doll itself is good quality.   The clothes, wig and faceups are pretty weak, but they're not the reason you'd buy a doll like this, so I don't think that matters too much.

Those dolls are crazy!  I only heard about them thanks to Froggys review. I'll have one eventually, I'm quite sure.
  Thanks for those pics Hervoyel!! And congrats on him, he looks very much like his virtual design!! Hopes that more peeps have pictures of Makies to share!!

[True]

oooh hes handsome Hervoyel!
I was worried about the hair too when froggy stuff mentioned "adhesive," :/ i wonder why they glue it on, when they also sell wigs? lol are their eyes still interchangeable?

Im starting to want one more and more but I'm also kinda hoping they get more body options? like particularly a female body but maybe not so much "chest" :p

[honeysuckle1]

Yeah the wigs are interchangeable. If you can take them off, you can put another one on (if it fits)!

I wish they had more outfits to choose from.

Thanks! 

I haven't changed out the eyes in my guy, but they're designed to be easy to switch, so that's simple to customize.

Of course by gluing the wig down they don't make it easy to take them off!  They fit regular MSD wigs though, so that's nice. 

This is mine in a Volks wig:

They fit Bratz Boy clothing, so there are ready-made options out there (and the Makie clothes are not the best, so it's no great loss to not have too many options there, IMHO).

Thanks!

yeah thats what i noticed about a lot of the irl vs makies image of their clothes xD, some of them are very tempting and I could probably alter them to look more professional, but otherwise i think id find better options elsewhere.

I must revive this thread...because I'm so stinkin' excited about my Makies!  I designed one to look like a mini me, and purchased one from someone downsizing their dolls. I'm super happy with them so far.
