Tips for body. Do not stuff the fiber too much, if you over stuff, its body is going to expand from the side and not in the shape that android should look like. But tricky stuff here, if you stuff it too less, it will also affect the shape and may lead to sloppy doll when the time pass. Key is stuffing tight enough that it not turning into fatty android. This issue is also help the doll standing properly.

Legs is the part that you must stuff them as tight as you can. The stable legs keep the android stand still. And make sure its arms and legs aligned in the same way, try to balance the body when you set it stand.

Antenna 

Rnd 1: 5 ch, sc into the 2nd stitch from hook, sc in next 2 stitch, 3 sc in next stitch, sc in next 2 stitch, 2 sc in next stitch, sl :: 12 stitches

Fold half and sew.

I use chain stitch (picture below), to embroidery a circle to create eyes. Also for create alphabet for the word android on doll's belly.

For the black one, I cut felt sheet in to apple shape and glue on belly part.

At that time when I made all of these, I'd got only poor mobile camera, so the picture is in low quality.  

If you sewing them  carefully they can all stand by themselves as shown in the picture. I also crochet small red ball for them. :)
