Blue Fairy Pocket Fairy Discussion part 2

Pocketfairy came both ways with S hook and without...definitely easier with S hook for changing eyes...also easier for changing bodies

 

There's some sort of body renewal coming to Pocket Fairies. They will temporarily close the sales of PF's after an event. More info at their site. Bluefairy International-I'll alway be here for you

 

@xaya Thanks for the info!
I was planning to get a sugar body for my girl, but now I'm wondering if it's better to wait or to get the "old" style body!
I haven't seen one for selling in the marketplace in the last period! >__<

 

Is anyone taking advantage of the lower price for the Pocket Fairy? I'm going back and forth over the body renewal. If I want one more of the classic style I'll have to choose now.

 

I'd really like! But I don't know what kind of renewal will be... So it's hard to decide what is better...
Has someone infos about the new bodies?

 

I have no info on the new body...the suspense of it all...

 

These dolls are so cute! Would you recommend them as first-time dolls? I like the tiny dolls much better than the big heavy ones btw

 

If you like the minimalist look, then yes, I'd recommend them. My preference is for the taller Sugar/Pepper body as I like the longer leg proportions but the regular PF body is more childlike. If you prefer dolls that are more on the realistic side or gymnastic in their posing then you may want to look elsewhere.

 

I'm mainly looking for a small doll, since I don't have much storage room. Also, the tinies are so cute!

 

Yes, they are! They also work so well with all the dollhouse props so there's no shortage of things to buy for them but it all stores away easily.
PFs have a unique look -- most other tinies in this range have a bigger 'bobble' head, but they are more proportional. If you like their look, they're actually a good deal right now since Bluefairy will be revising the bodies soon.

 

Take your time and look around. There are a lot of adorable tines. Supia has released new baby sups. Withdoll has cute little ones also. You might want to look through the Comparison photos of tiny ABJDs (tinies)

 

I need help, how do you restring a pocket fairy?
She needs sueding but I don't know how to unstring her since she doesn't have hooks...

 

@ninive: There's an assembly guide on the Bluefairy website Bluefairy International-I'll alway be here for you
You need to unloop the hands and feet - it'll make more sense if you have a look at the photos

 

I saw it but I don't understand how to do that backwards, and those black and white pics aren't very clear anyway.

 

Lots of the older little dolls did it that way. The elastic goes through the foot and the the foot goes through the loop . To undo it, you must get a hold of the little piece of elastic going around the the two sides of the loop using something like a small crochet hook and pull it out until the loop is long enough to go over the foot. I would start with a foot as there aren't little fingers to break!

If you are going to restring with new elastic, I would just cut the elastic!

 

Does anyone have any new photos to share?

 

sure here's my gang assembled for Baked Charlie Sugar box opening:
