Will be ordering a set of goodies for my new AK6 once she arrives and I can confirm her eye size and type. Although I suspect similar to what WM uses.

MF can clarify but every time I have purchased from him it was when he opens for sale at the first weekend of the month, (he usually posts the date in this thread). He only makes a certain amount of sets per month so if you miss out you have to wait for the next sale.

AK as in Angel Kiss? If it is a silicone head I would wait until you have it in hand as even the same manufacturer can have different eyes for their TPE dolls compared to their silicone girls. And even when you think they have standardized they will throw you a curve ball and change up what they are using.

Thanks for the heads up!

How can I order just irises?

I usually have some available every month. Next sale is this Saturday 4/6 at 2:00 PM CDT.

Just a quick shout out for MF Creations in manufacturing a set for my Irontech soft silicone off the cuff. Great work!

Thanks Davey!

Yes, Irontech is using a smaller version of the type 1 eyes in some of their soft silicone heads (26mm diameter half rounds with cotton backing). Not sure if it's for ALL their soft silicone heads or just some of them, so it's very important to check your doll's eyes before ordering EMEs.

Here are the smaller 26mm EMEs compared with the regular 32mm. The pedestals are low profile because the eye sockets are very shallow on the Irontech heads. Also, I now have a smaller version of the V6 eyelids (scaled to 88%) that will fit eyes 26-28mm diameter. The eyelashes shown are Kiss So Wispy Pompadour. These have been working really well and fit the eyelids perfectly.

Love the length of those eye lashes!

I just received my set today.
And DAMN, these eyes are the bomb.
They not only look good, but the quality is more than excellent!!!

The package looked really small, but very well packed. It arrived in pristine condition. Inside the package I found two boxes. (I ordered some extra eyelids)
One immediately can see that the items are made with great care and precision.
MannequinFan did send some extra items to make sure that the eyes would fit my newly ordered Zelex SLE. She is not here yet, so I could not test the eyes, but as soon as she arrives, I will give an update.

The info about my order MannequinFan gave me was very complete. First he send me an email informing me about the production date. Later an email with the tracking code.
From ordering to delivery (the Netherlands) took about a month.

Below are some unboxing pics.

A BIG Thanks and shout out to MannequinFan, I will definitively order more!!!

Hey John, thanks so much for the kind words and excellent photo!

I'm very glad you like them and I hope everything goes well when you get your doll.
Please keep in touch!

Alright folks, still have one EME set left for April if someone wants to snag it...

Also, still have a TiltStand that's getting lonely and needs a good home - ready to ship!

Alright folks, a little heads up regarding this month's EME sale ...

I'm having a weird issue with my 6 year old Up BOX+ printer so the handmade items of the MF Store will be unavailable for a while until I can sort out the problem. However, the digital downloads and Shapeways items will still be available. I have a support request in to Tiertime, but there is labor day holiday in China right now so it may take some time to get an answer. Depending on how long it takes I may have to postpone the EME sale until next month.

I've been looking at getting a new backup printer - either a Bambu P1S or the Flashforge 5M Pro are looking like good options, but that will take some getting used to. It will need to print ABS as good as my Up BOX+ which will be pretty hard to beat.

Well... That sucks...

Or does it?

Hee hee, I see what you did there!
So how's it going with your P1S? Email me when you get a chance.
I'm very close to hitting the buy now button on the Flashforge though. It's only $499 - hard to beat that price for the features, even if I don't end up using it!

OK, so no answer yet from Tiertime so I've postponed the EME sale to next Saturday 5/11.
If I don't get things solved by then I'll just need to cancel the sale for this month.
Sorry all for the inconvenience.

Thanks for the update. Love my TPE set and hope to get some for my Zelex now
