BlueFairy Shiny Fairy/(MW) Junior body discussion part 1

Mar 22, 2010

    1. I was not expecting to like juniors on the shiny fairy bodies so much, but apparently I do. I already loved Jaden, but Shiny Fairy Jaden is somehow even more cute, I mean how is that even possible?

      I think Linus and Jaden would make amazing fraternal twins (throw in Shirley and they'd be excellent triplets!) just like Paul and Andy would. Oh Bluefairy, I think I've decided and then you do something wonderful that confuses me all again.
       
    2. hobbywhelmed I have an SF May coming home any day now. I can take some comparison pics with her and my Minoru when she gets here if they haven't posted any on the site yet!

      I think I love Linus. And I had decided I only wanted one SF, asjkdklas.
       
    3. Omg, I couldn't post as much as I've wanted here over the summer because I've had practical work at the hospital for several months, but I'm sooo relieved it's over and I can talk to you all again! I've missed SF and their sweet angelic faces. I hadn't had the chance to play with my dolls for such a long time...

      What can I say, I'm THRILLED and very happy about the May 1st version re-release because people who've missed out before now have a chance of owning her! What amazing news. So looking forward to seeing all the new Mays pouring in! :D SFs have an addictive quality about them that makes you want to see new photos of them every day. And I have a feeling BlueFairy's been reading this thread (one can dream, hehe!) because they've really made a lot of people very excited. :D :D Thank you, BlueFairy!

      New custom Enchanted Doll eyes for my Honey arrived a while ago! ^__^ I was wondering if blue was perhaps a better eyecolor for her instead of brown, hence me ordering a new pair. They look even more beautiful and vibrant in person. They consist of three different blue colors; a light and a darker blue, with an even darker blue rim. That's ED #21 + ED #23 half gradation + ED #47 rim. The blue colors shift nicely depending on the light and how you position them in the eye holes. I also gave Honey teeny weeny eyelashes for the first time as she didn't have any before!

      She's posing on my new mint-colored makeup table with some of her toys, plus jewelry pieces that I've made. Mint is one of my fave colors because it looks so fresh and delicate and it makes me happy everytime I look at it. :) Clothes are Tata's Paradise and the mori shoes are Dream Of Tale.

      It's always a challenge finding tiny hairclips and hair accessories that fit SF's tiny heads and I do a little dance whenever I find something new, hehe. I like buying plain clips and customizing them myself (adding flowers, etc).

      Here are just a few simple necklaces I've made for my Honey:

      Hope everyone's having a lovely weekend!
       
    4. Locksley Your Honey is adorable as ever. I love those eyes! How does the regular dome of the ED eyes fit in her head? Is there any gapping? I always seem to have a fight with Bluefairy dolls and higher domed eyes, so I wondered about these little ones!

      Did anyone else's little May arrive yet? Mine got here a few days ago, but it took me from then until now to find a look for her that I liked. But now, I adore her! She's a Version 2. I love her round little face, depending on the angle she can smile or look sad or surprised. I've fallen in love with her.

      So, here's Imogen.

      [​IMG]

      I'll take some pictures with her and her sister Keelin, my Minoru junior, for a side-by-side size comparison later today.
       
    5. angelcallie: Thanks so much! By "gapping" you mean the eyes don't completely cover up the eye holes, right, and that you can see inside the head if you look at the doll from the side? On some of the past pics I've posted here previously (or here is my entire ShinyFairy gallery on Flickr), you can see a slight gapping (when the pic is taken from the side/at an angle) but that personally never bothered me. ^^ It looks minimal to me. I even minimized it with the new pair of eyes by positioning them just right. I've tried both 'plain' ED and ED Milky 14mm eyes on May now and they both work well. I don't think the gapping is more noticeable compared to the default eyes May comes with. Adding upper eyelashes helps to cover up the gapping, too.

      Congrats on your little May! :-) I love that her expression shifts depending on the angle! :) Looks like it's the subtlety of the smile that does it? Her wig's so soft! The fiery hair gives her a lot of personality (I can picture her character already) and the red color works great with the blue eyes! Always liked the color combination. The default eye color BlueFairy's given May is one of the reasons I went back to blue eyes with my own May. :) I just fell in love with the color the moment I saw it and I'm also biased against blond, blue-eyes dolls, hehe.

      If I can get another ShinyFairy in the future, and I do hope that happens, she can have Honey's old ED Milky eyes in brown. ^^ She'd look completely different than Honey, with her own kind of style. It would be incredible if they released tan versions one day because my current faves are Choice SF Clare, Andy and Jaden (as girls) and Leila, and they'd look even more fabulous with tanned skin! In my head I can already see a moody tan SF with a lot of spunk and energy, to compliment my sweet fair-haired Honey. Awww. And just how adorable is that Sleeping Leila? I just can't choose just one SF! ^__^
       
    6. Alkdjksjdhgdk the spam is so cute!! Thanks for posting owner photos of 2nd May-- she is definitely different than the (poor) company photos!! What a cutie!!

      Does anyone know if the Shiny Fairy Flip-Flop Feet will fit into regular Yo-SD shoes???? I was thinking of getting a few pairs of the flip-flop feet to put on my Junior Fairies so I wouldn't have such few shoe choices. Thanks!
       
    7. Aw, I don't know the answer to that, Peppermintsheep! I don't have flip-flop feet, so I'm not sure how they compare to regular ones, but I think large (wide) boots would fit? There are a few boots out there that look oversized on Yo-SD feet. They could be just the thing you're looking for!

      My Honey's got 19 pairs of shoes already (I know, I'm a sad, saaaad shoe addict, LOL) and I should make a reference picture for fellow ShinyFairy owners. I've definitely been lucky in the shoe department so far because all the shoes fit Honey really well.

      It started snowing yesterday! When Honey thinks of snow, it brings back memories of her arrival in February 2012 when I first took pictures of her sitting on a large snowy pile. :-) She's my little winter princess! And this was Honey today, trying out a lovely pair of feminine boots with bowes at the sides, and the price was only $10.90:

      [​IMG]

      And a close-up of the new ED eyes and tiny eyelashes:

      http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8195/8135228820_42cb52b5f0_o.jpg

      The white tunic is actually an Unoa top but works well enough for Yo-SD sized dolls! \o/

      Here's the ShinyFairy shoe reference I said I'll post! :) All the 19 pairs I own fit SF really well. Hope it helps other SF owners! See the pic over at my Flickr for notes on makers/company names (love the Flickr notes feature, it's so useful).

      http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8196/8138952572_15971fd67a_b.jpg

      I'd also appreciate your help in identifying some of these as I'm not sure of the origin of the second-hand shoes I got here in the Marketplace. Like the first black sneakers in the 3rd row (bottom up) and the first white sneakers and red dotty shoes in the 2nd row, plus the grey floral flats on the very right in the 1st row. Does anyone know which companies they're from? Thanks so much! :-) I assume Chinese, especially the sneakers but I'm just not sure. Some of them can be found on eBay, too, but the sellers don't state the makers.

      I know, it's me again! :) Here's a Halloween picture I took today of Honey enjoying her chocolate macaron:

    8. Dropping by to share a comparison pic of SF May 1st & May 3rd.
      Still, I prefer May 1st a lot better, especially the mouth and eyes.
      But maybe I'm bias :P

      [​IMG]
       
      • x 1
    9. Thank you again for the comparison shots, turbow! I'm biased towards May 1st, too, hehe. :)

      Yesterday BlueFairy added a new headmold to their ShinyFairy collection! It's Choice SF Shirley:

      [​IMG]

      I like her both as a girl and a boy! She makes such a cute boy, really. Love the lips and the more mature look.
       
    10. Just a headsup, another news bit from BlueFairy: A limited edition ShinyFairy will be available via the new 'Pleasant holiday' reservation "event" coming up in December! You'll need to send in a reservation for her via email from December 14 to December 17 2012. If more people apply for her than BF has in stock, they will choose the winners by random and you'll be notified by email on December 19th if you won her. If there's leftover stock, it'll be put up on the site for sale afterwards. Winners need to pay by December 21st. That's basically the gist of it. :)

      If I'm not mistaken, the ShinyFairy is a May, right? And in WHITE SKIN, just like Bon Voyage May? <3 <3 *squeeee* I hope that's true and not just the lighting in the pic! ^^ I assume she's May 3rd version and that she'll be at least $370. She could easily be more if her skintone is indeed white and she is very limited.

      Here is the picture so far, I love their sweet Xmas-inspired coats and lovely hats:

      [​IMG]

      :D
       
    11. I just wanted to say, Locksley, though this is super-belated, I love your May and all your May photos. They're delightful and beautifully staged, with all the little trinkets and things! So cute!

      I saw the photo of the May comparison before it disappeared, turbow, and I thank you for it! I think I regret my decision not to get a May V1 when I could, haha. I do like the new one too, but I think I still do prefer the first version most, so I won't feel good about getting the third as some sort of 'runner-up', haha! Well, since the latest limited is probably the new May, maybe that'll make me see another side to it that I love even more than May V1.

      LOOOVE Shirley!! She's from the MinoruWorld winter-style limited, right?? Hahaha, I was on-the-fenceish about her then, and I wasn't sure about the larger nose style, but with all these new pics of her, I decided that I love her! XD Agh, but now it's a choice for me; I only want one pair of twins as SF, no more, so it would either be a May and Hana or Shirley and Linus.

      Agh, well, I promised myself I'd wait to get a tan TF boy before any other dolls, so I guess I can keep thinking on it for a while.

      The new Limited look awesome, by the way! Love the winter-themed outfits!

      <3 ali
       
    12. almyki: Thank you, I'm happy you like her! :D I enjoy putting little props and trinkets around her because otherwise there wouldn't be much chance to take photos of them, hehe.

      I hope you can still get May v1! I've said it before but I'm proof that it's possible because my own was won via Yahoo!Japan auctions when she was no longer available on the site. Indeed, soon it's going to be my May's one year anniversary, awww. I won her just days before Christmas last year! :-) All the more to celebrate this year around. See, you should never give up hope. It's always possible to get the doll you want! :-) My own wish is for BlueFairy to release a tan SF one day. I'd love to get a tan sister for my May! But before that, I'd like to get another SF in normalskin and I'm deciding between Leila, Sleeping Leila, Hana and Clare. Ahh, how will I choose? Leila is very popular as a TF and there's lots of pictures of her as a result (which is very helpful, yay), and I've always loved Hana, but now I've also fallen for the gentle Sleeping Leila and Clare's more serious and mature look is also fascinating. Decisions!

      And hopefully we can put some life back into this thread again, the TF thread is far more active and excited over the latest releases and Pleasant Holiday limiteds. ;___; Are we certain the limited dolls are white skin? Some photographs on the BF site have great lighting that makes the skintones look pale when they're actually normalskin. Well, in the TF thread it says it's been confirmed the limited ShinyFairy is indeed May, so we at least know that. :)

      Shirley looks so cute! I was looking for more owner photos of her on DOA and Flickr, but, as you say, she's a winter limited from MW and there aren't that many pictures of her. Speaking of photos, someone in the TF thread mentioned you can see the skintone difference between the MW headmolds and the SF bodies posted on BlueFairy website. I didn't see a difference at first when the new MW headmolds were incorporated into the SF line, but, then again, I wasn't looking for it. All I can see now is that the heads from MW have slightly paler skin than SF bodies. Can you see it, too? For example, I've compared Choice SF Hana and Choice SF Linus and the latter's body does look a bit darker because of the MW head. It's not a huge difference though... I wish I could see owner photos for a greater comparison.

      Here's a shot of my Honey I posted a while ago to Flickr, she's showing off her new hat and scarf:

      [​IMG]
       
    13. One weird thing about me is I'm so anal about weird stuff. Since I want twins, I want to order them at the same time to ensure I get a perfect color match and even a slight variation will probably bug me to death. It's such a small thing, but I'm really weird about the little things! OTZ I think it's so awesome how you got your May though, and I'm personally quite glad since I love your pictures. You're such a good doll photographer, and your Honey is such a good subject! Sooo cute every time I see her X3 .

      I'd love to see more tans too, and a SF tan would be especially cute! I am a HUGE fan of tan, so I can't get enough of seeing it!

      I've wanted at least one sleeping-face doll eventually since early on, and I think Sleeping Leila might be the ticket. I want it to be a unisex Junior doll, and white skin too. Another thing I'm weird about is that I know the JR heads are a bit smaller than SFs, and since I want a 'BF family', the scaling there still bugs me XP . Still not sure what to do about it, since I definitely want to the SP Leila to be Jr and the twins to be SFs. Yes I do drive myself crazy with unnoticeable minutia! -throws up hands-

      I think the vast majority of limited editions tend to be white skin (or now, sometimes tan skin), and especially since it's a winter theme, I'd bet good money on it. (Now that I've said that, they'll actually be NS is white white light and I'll just have to jump in a ditch.) I think for BF, their TFs are definitely their most famous and popular line by far, a pity for the SFs! They scale so well and look perfect next to TFs too, so I'd love to see more pics of them together =X . Maybe now that the Jr and SF line have merged, and there's double the choices available, more people will get some.

      As for resin differences, oh yes, it's quite obvious on my screen. I mentioned it, I'm pretty sure in the Junior thread, and others noticed too. It would make me concerned about any mix-matched combinations (Jr head on SF body or vice versa) anytime soon! I think as the leftover stock runs out and they merge their casting operations (I'm assuming they plan to) this issue will go away. But then again, I see this issue on the new Shirley and Linus heads, and even the SF Hana head, so I don't really know... Maybe they do something when Photoshopping, or have older in-stock bodies for newer cast heads -shrug- @_@ .

      <3 ali
       
    14. almyki: You sound a lot like me! Even the smallest details can bug me and mismatched skintones that you've mentioned would be an ever bigger detail, thus harder to miss. The reason mismatching would bother me is mostly because once I know it's THERE, I can't stop thinking about it and looking for it! If I knew my SF's parts had even slightly different skintones (even if one could hardly tell), the thought would be constantly in the back of my mind. ^^; Maybe other people wouldn't notice it in the photos but I would know it's there. I hope once the old MW stock is sold out, the heads and bodies will match perfectly. I'm itching to buy another SF in the following months but I'm honestly worried the resin would be mismatched. ;_; But maybe it already matches just fine and BF is just using outdated pics? It could be! I'd definitely ask BF about it before ordering a SF with a MW head, though.

      You were right about the white skin of the new limited SF May: BlueFairy just released info and more pictures of her, she's called "Pleasant SF May" and she's $450. That last picture of her in the snow is so cute! Her info:

      She's like a sweet little angel! I love the detachable fur collar and the eyes they've given her! Very nice combination with the brown hair. ^o^
       
    15. She's so adorable :D
       
    16. Hello everyone
      I have a question about the Pleasant SF May.

      I really do like how the lower lashes are painted in the promo photos. Will the production dolls be painted like that do you think?
      Thank you :)
       
    17. Hi Jane, yes the lower lashes will be painted like the promo photos on the shiny May.

      I'm a little confused if i can post jr photos here now that they have been combined, someone was asking for some winter shirley photos, i only have 1 short wig that fits, but here it is, i hope its of help. if u need more specific photos just let me know =)
      [​IMG]
       
    18. Thank you so much for that information. :)
       
    19. pinkburrow: Thank you for the Winter Shirley pictures! :) I think it's ok posting a picture since the Shirley head is now both a Tiny and a Shiny Fairy head? ^_^ Shirley looks gorgeous and incredibly delicate with whiteskin. She's beautiful, the perfect doll for wintery shoots because of her pale skin. Her mouth and pointy chin are a lot like May's!

      Honey got to play in the snow today! She's saying: "Don't forget, I want a Christmas present this big!" :)

      [​IMG]

      If you're celebrating, what do your SFs want for the holidays? Mine would like to have (for Christmas and next year):

      - a special outfit for Christmas
      - lovely winter boots
      - doll room/diorama in her scale, complete with furniture and many toys
      - hair accessories (flowers, headbands, etc)
      - a friend (another Yo-SD doll like herself ^_~)
