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

@Sodabeentjes Wow what a May fan here! Wouldn't you be in trouble if they released a tan May too? XD Seeing those names reminds me of the name of a past coworker of mine, 'Yesenia'. As for Linus, I believe he was originally of the MW Junior line before they merged them, and I know their heads run overall a bit smaller than the SF-original heads. If you're concerned about how he'd look next to your Mays, keep it in mind.

Aaaggghhh, in the end, I'm going to just stick with my original plans and keep my Junior May after all. After weeks of agonizing, hahahaha! And I'll get the tan SF I want, but now I'm not sure between Hana or SP Leila. I've seen Hanas that I really love, but Hana's eyes are the tricky part. Without just the right placement, size, and HQ eye design, Hana looks too surprised or wide-eyed for me.

Well, I'll probably go with whichever one ends up available to me in tan first. Hana is coming up in January, so if CS okays my request for a tan Hana, then Hana it is!

I haven't taken any good photos of my dolls in a while, but here's an old group photo with my Junior May up in front. It needs some solo pics one day.

@almyki Awww what a cute family! I'm glad you decided not to part with your Junior May, she is so adorable Good luck on deciding between Hana and Leila. I have had Leila, she was just adorable! I love the name Yesenia too, I'm putting it on the list ^^

I'm not sure if a tan May would mean trouble for me. Bluefairy's baked skin hasn't appealed to me yet, but well if they suddenly release one in my favorite sculpt, it just might I'm thinking Linus will have larger features then my May's (the nose especially) My may's went really well with Leila. Their features were the same size. However I compared them with Shirley a while back, she seams to have a similar nose to Linus, and she had way bigger features, I didn't like how they looked together at all. But because she will go on the Junior, I might be okay with that. I would just like to see some differently styled Linusses. But I think I'll pass on her for now. My wishlist is too long xD

If you want clothes and shoes that fit Junior bodies, Nine9Style's Bunny9 line is a god-send! The shoes fit my Junior May PERFECTLY, and the clothes are almost all perfect/great fit on it. It's on the Junior Boy body, and I've gotten mostly girl clothes for it so far, but I'm sure the boy clothes would fit as well. If you want any reference pics, I can take some later too.


-sigh- So disappointed that they aren't doing anything Baked-Skin-related for a while. I was so stoked to get a BS Hana in January and finishing my collection! I'll just have to wait until they bring it back XP . Stirling, you'll just have to do for now!!

I love my jr jaden girl she is amazing. I buy her clothes from Kawkana Style from etsy also fot iplehouse kid

 

Bluefairy is hosting a baked skin event soon : Bluefairy International-I'll alway be here for you
Maybe some Shiny Faires too?

Yara is back on her old Junior body again... I'm not sure yet on which one she will stay. The little Shiny Fairy body is absolutely adorable, but on this body her character comes more to life for me. Dolly dilemma's! For now she will remain a head with 2 bodies... But I think she will end up on this body, and I will want a Connie head for the little body somewhere in the future...

Thanks for asking, hobbywhelmed! I also sent an email asking if they knew of any plans for a future SF BS release, haha, so I'll let you guys know if there's any news on that. I am so ready for this hahahaha!

EDIT: An update on the issue, and it sounds like there's no specific plans yet for an SF Baked Skin event D= .

Such a bummer =_= . I'm tempted to go to the Daegu showcase in person to ask if they know anything more there, though it's doubtful -sigh- . SF line gets no love T_T .

 

Hello everyone, new to the thread here.

I was wondering if any of you could enlightme as to how the ordering works for bluefairy tinies at this point? I read something that dolls are only available for a period of time, every month different dolls. I've been out of the loop for too long it seems haha

Any idea when we could see SF may available for purchase? (they only sell the 3rd version right? no way of getting the 1st?)

 

Hm, it has been awhile without a response to @Ellesmera ..I was going to let someone else speak up because I'm not so sure, but I'll make my best effort!

What I understand is that they will only release certain sculpts (or certain size ranges, in Baked /White skin order periods) at one time.

May seems pretty popular, so I they keep her in frequent circulation. She was available in early August, then mid-November, so I would anticipate seeing May again soon.

There is a May on the preorder lineup for April, but whether it will be TinyFairy or ShinyFairy size is not specified. Do expect SF Mays to be 3rd version, I'd guess. When a sculpt is updated or retired it usually can only be obtained in the secondhand markets.

Just for fun, my Hana wishes to say hi to the thread..

 

@Lokinta thank you so much for your answer!! I was already giving up on getting an answer, you are very kind and it was super helpful. I'll be stalking Bluefairy each month then~ I don't mind having a May 3rd version, she is super cute.

Hana is super pretty!!! Love her eyes, so unique!

 

Thanks! I just hope the info is good.. haha. I just felt bad to see a question left hanging so long.

The eyes were inexpensive, being acrylics, but acrylics seem highly disfavored for the more deep and shiny eyes out there. I see the appeal of those too, but like his doll having a unique and cartoony look! My plan is to refaceup her in a more anime style eventually. Bluefairies wear anime styling so well

Here's Hana last summer wearing green acrylic eyes (which were also from Licht,) another favorite look on her. She's my doll who seems to look good in every style!

 

For acrylics eyes they are amazing and since Bluefairy dolls have big eyes you can see all the details in them, I love them!!! Love the second photo, the clothes and the background fits her so well and She even has green eyes that look lovely!

A more anime face up for her would be super fun! I agree that bluefairy dolls can be very cartoony! I don't have any definite plans for my future may, only that I will be doing the face up myself, but I'll go with something more natural I think, so She can be with my other dolls. Or maybe not, who knows haha

 

@Ellesmera Oooh, I saw your question and completely forgot to answer you! Lokinta explained it pretty well already, but I want to add, that I bedlieve the next May in april is a Tiny Fairy, as they always do 3 TF and 3 SF. Patrick, Robin, May are then TF and Ellie, Jaden, Linus are Shinies. I don't know when she's up next. They roulate through all scultps (not limited ones!). Each first week of the month they have 3 for sale, and when they went through all, they start over again. May is the first of the line. I thought her last pre-order period was december. And the first was August, so there's 4 months between that. That probably means she's up in may (as she's not in april it seems). It is the third version. They stopped selling 1st version when they went to the second one. There were a few for sale through Catherine Parks and Minoruworld a while ago, but I'm afraid they're all gone now. You can always mail Minoruworld about her. May 3 is beautiful though! I have two third version May's, and one 1st version. The third is my favourite! Oh, and the ordering periods are for normal and beauty white skin. Baked Shinies probably won't happen anytime soon.

Here's my Beauty white third version May, isn't she beautiful

@Lokinta Awww your Hana is precious!

 

@Sodabeentjes thanks!!! It's okay if she's not up for sale next month, I can wait ! And I probably will be getting normal skin because white it's kinda intimidating for me. White bluefairy dolls look super special though, probably because it was not so long ago that there were very limited editions.
Thanks for being so helpfull too! And you already helped me before, I already stalked your flickr not so long ago! It made me realize that the 3rd version of May is just as gorgeous as the first and I love all your girls, especially Yesenia, what a pretty name!

 

Thanks very much! Your Yesenia (and Yara and Yaëlle who I see around a lot) are always a joy to see
They are definitely the specimens who made me able to recognize May's sculpts at a glance.

Good point, the next May is probably TF then, we'll keep waiting for new ShinyFairies!

Ooh, I just got some new items for Hana (to dress her more as she is supposed to look) in the mail today, But I forgot her at my boyfriend's house and might not see him for another day or two. Bah!

 

Hey all!! I just saw that BF posted a fixed time for each sculpt to be on sale. SF May will be up for sale on May so I'm excited!

 

@Ellesmera That's great! May is available on May, I like that!

Loving all the Shiny around here, mine has gotten too little attention. ^^; I should photograph them more, they're so adorable. And they've waited for new clothes for ages. ^^;;; Here's craptastic photo from the girls, poor Nikolas didn't make it for the photos...


I had taken all the shoes for a photoshoot so they were picking theirs, and I hadn't taken Nikolas' shoes off at all. That's why he wasn't in the photos.

 

Does anyone happen to have the neck measurement for the Jr body (girl body preferably)? I can't seem to find it anywhere!
