Blue Fairy Pocket Fairy Discussion part 2

Thanks for the advice everyone!

 

Adorable!

That picture is lovely. Her outfit is darling.

 

Does anyone have advice for tightening PF elastics??? I've got a few original body PFs and one Pepper body who are SOOOO loosely strung that trying to even put clothes on them makes me scream. They're just so little, though, that I'm worried about snapping the strings that hold their hands/feet on. It's hard enough to put their wigs on, but when they flop and kick like that... aaaah!!!

 

I am having the same problem with my Pocketfairy Sugar and Pepper bodies. To be fair, I've had most of the them for quite a few years now, and elastic does degrade. Oh boy though is it frustrating to change their clothes and they definitely won't hold any pose no matter what I do. Constantly squirming, kicking and flailing around lol. I did try wiring them but I didn't like how stiff they appeared in photos so I took it all back out. Now they are in doll stands in my doll cabinet and I haven't done anything thing with them in a long while. I should probably start restring them. I don't look forward to doing it. Maybe some rainy day far, far in the future lol. I've probably posted this pic before but way too many to restring!

(Did DOA just... stop alerting us?? Your reply is a month ago and i never saw it!)

Aaaah your crew is just too cute!!! Did you make all those tiny pajamas? Would you be willing to post slopers if you did?

And has anyone had luck with Monique 4" wigs?? I'm looking for a few more hairstyles than Blue Fairy has to offer...

 

Thank you, not sure about DAO sometimes I get the alerts most of the time I don't.
The PJ's were made by DutchBlytheFashions on Etsy.
I commissioned her to make them, she does't have PF's to tweek the patterns (they are Odeco size), and the pants are a bit tight to get on.
I've only gotten bob cuts from Monique for my PF's.

 

I think the new message alerts only last a short time. I check the unwatch threads at least once a day.

 

Pushing this thread back up in the hope that someone else is better at taking photos of their dolls than I am!

 

here's an old one, not sure if I posted it back then:

Hiyo everyone i just ordered a Pocket Fairy sugar Baked Yoko!! Im so excited iv waited a year for BF to come out with a baked ver of Yoko shes representing my OC Rain im really excited! I ordered her through Angelsque first time ordering through this dealer. This is my first Pocket fairy i have a shiny fairy from Blue Fairy as well i love BF sculpts over the years of collecting dolls i keep coming back to them. This is also my first tiny doll i have a Littlefee but nothing tinier than her and wanted to have a tinier doll to travel with and i thought Pocket Fairy would be perfect!

 

Congrats Cinibunny! I think you'll find that Pocket Fairies are like chips... it's hard to stop at just one!

I hope your wait is a short one!

 

@Cinibunny Congrats! Yoko is a darling sculpt. You will love her!

 

I love Yoko! She was the impetus for me to buy my first bjd and I couldn't let her be alone so her and Jimmy where my first bjd's. I can't wait to see your pics of baked Yoko and hear how you like the new body (I don't have any in my collection)

Here they are on box opening day March 2012:

Thank you everyone! I sure hope its a short wait she gave me a 4 month estimate i thought BF was one of the faster companies from what i heard. But yes! im sure i will get addicted to them iv been looking at them for years but always got distracted with other dolls im really happy i jumped back on board to snatch the sculpt i want. @midolls*melissa

Yoko is darling!! She fit so well for my character i couldnt say no and had to wait for her. Ill be sure to post a little video box opening when i get her (i have not done this in forever but they are so much fun to do! ) I love both the sculpts you picked for your pocket fairy would be the same for me as well! Very cute! look at her sparkly shoes thats so adorable !! Im looking to get her into baggy sweater would littlefee clothing work for that? i cant wait to go shopping already im already looking at wigs. Curious question the Pocket fairys dont wear eyelashes do they? i was looking at the promo picks for her didnt notice any on her but i was curious about it.

 

I'm not sure about littlefee clothing, I don't know that doll, but mine are wearing clothes that fit petworks Odeco, Niki and Usaggi or Ruruko. Also Azone clothes that fit xs body like Ruruko also some Lati clothes but they are a little short in the leg and sleeve.

Of my 14 PF's only my baked PF Noma came with lashes but he was not a standard release

 

@Cinibunny , Bluefairy used to be lightning-fast with their in-stock dolls (I got some within a week of ordering) but a few years ago, they changed their business plan and don't really keep in-stock dolls now. Now they just take orders for certain sculpts during different times of the year, which they then make, which takes 3 to 4 months.

 

@midolls*melissa
No worries she might be a bit too big for Pocket fairy though since pocket fairys seem slimmer Littlefees are YOSD size bit bigger around the waste as well. Oh! Thank you for the tips on clothing i will look around for petworks clothing iv heard that lati and pukifee tights and clothing work as well didnt know about the leg part ether i appreciate it! I also heard that Pure Neemo S shoes might fit too but im still looking into it.

Thats interesting so they did try to add lashes in? Im curious how they turned out! I got my Pocket Fairy blank i try to practice on faceups iv painted all my doll faceups. Reason i asked though i saw some white eyelashes and i thought they might look really cute on her! But than i was like wait a minute do they even have eyelashes had me thinking.

@Reynardine
I remember these times! I didnt know they changed things so much i had a time where i was a bit away from ball jointed dolls in general and slowly saw the dealers leave Blue Fairy and than limited sculpts and limited time periods. Im guessing they arnt getting as many orders in now a days it makes me scared they will go under one day (Do they still have the Blue Fairy cafe up in S Korea? ) i havent seen a company cut so close on dolls except Leekeworld but there main focus was wigs.

 

@Cinibunny The Bluefairy Cafe shut down a few years ago. On their board, they recommended another cafe that does have their dolls on display there. So yeah, they have really downsized.

 

YOSD is definitely too big.
PNS shoes fit, clothing is a little big not in a bad way, PNxs is a better fit on the clothes

the lashes were only on my dollshow special Noma

here is a closeup but still hard to see the lashes:

@Reynardine

Aww!! I cant believe the Cafe shut down im really sad to hear that but im happy another Cafe is displaying there dolls i was really hoping to visit in a couple year i was going to see i if i could do a japan and South Korea trip. It really does seem like they downsized i hope the company is still doing well with sales i love Blue Fairys sculpt one of the cutest companies i just think there is too many doll companies out there now a days and with recasts being about might be a reason why things downsized . I dont see them advertise as much ether to be honest.


@midolls*melissa

Yeah i thought it would be a bit too big but i thought maybe for an oversized sweater it might work but might be overkill baggy on her. PNS? Hm ill have to look into them i was looking through petworks clothing (Thank you for all the information on them !!!) the other night when you mentioned it i found a lot of cute outfits i am tempted to just get the doll with it and just steal the clothing off them because ordering some clothing is as much as those dolls .Im looking into some long cowboy boots that fit the neemo s not sure if the leg length is the same sizing as the dolls? do you know the ankle to knee length for sugar bodies? they only provide
Leg Length : 10.5cm (4.13inch) - waist to ankle
Foot Length : 2cm (0.8inch)
but i guess its a weird question to ask i feel like i asked too much already sorry to bother OTL i feel like i should be shopping after i get her but i think i got too excited.

Those lashes on her look absolutely adorable!!! Thank you for the photo i cant believe they dont put them on all there dolls it looks so natural ! i was actually thinking they didnt put any on there dolls because its so tiny now im just wondering why not?
