Fairyland Chic Line clothing, shoe, and wig database - Useable vs. REALLY FITS

Gorgeous!

If anyone wants to order there - I can help you with translating, if you want. I'm German, so I oughta understand just fine what's on the website. Just send me a PM.

 

Khell, I do wish I had your expertise when I was ordering. We had a couple of confusing exchanges, but we got there in the end. You will have to email if you want a custom order, but he is quick to respond, if a little brief in his responses (hence the need for clarification). There was no additional charge for custom sizes and postage was pretty cheap (about 3.50 Euros to be sent in a padded envelope). If you want paperweights (and it might be a good idea. I didn't and now wish I had) I believe there is an additional charge. I would be interested to see any that people order.

 

I actually might give it a try. Those eyes are nice and the prices are really very reasonable for handmade glass eyes. If I do, I'll try to post pics.

 

Great. Will you be ordering paperweights? The eyes are a little dark and lacking in depth and I would be keen to see what they look like with a bit more refraction going on.

 

I visited this site (glasaugen-eichhorn) ages ago but at the time, only saw eyes suitable for (what I thought) reborns or bears. This time I saw exactly what I've been looking for - eyes with a dark ring around the iris (in hellblaugrau). Plus they're available in sizes 3mm to 32mm. I might try fumbling around the checkout process and order a couple pair. Thanks for the link.

 

Those eyes are AWESOME! If I didn't know the scale I'd think that was an Iple!

Thanks so much for the offer! I hope he doesn't get tired of making small iris 6mm!

 

I'll get the paperweights, yes. Might take a while, though, since I'm right out of doll money right now. Bought too many Hot Toys action figures (*cough* Coulson *cough*) and also, a doll I didn't really plan to buy. But when I do get them, I'll post pics here.

 

LOL. I can relate to that, having paid off my Joker last month, but these are such reasonably-priced eyes that I felt I could splurge. I will probably splurge again when I see some pictures of the paperweights. My incoming Rou now needs some.

 

Oh, just wait until I've taken a closer look at my bank account balance! I got a feeling that Nat (my Minifee Marcia - didn't really plan on getting her but when my friend decided to sell her ...) is gonna want some new eyes, soon and if I'm ordering eyes anyways ... *gg* Sneaky Damien! (That's my Rou.)

 

And just think of the luxury of ordering doll products from your own country! No three month wait. He posted mine out within a day or us agreeing the order. You could have them by the end of next week.

And I need to think of a name for my incoming Rou, and fast. And find a wig, and shoes and, and

Has anyone ordered the boys' riding boots from Facets? If so, any chance of a picture? They look as though they might be slightly clunky, but I would be very interested to see a few pictures of them on CLines.

 

Releaserain has started producing their MSD-sized male shoes in the smaller 'Matt O'Neill' size, which is generally suitable for the Chicline male foot. I took a flyer on a couple of pairs and I'm really happy that I did! They're a touch oversized, but not clown shoes; they look fine when on, and are just small enough to require some serious foot-wrestling.



Here's a pair of the two-tone oxfords with my Rou's foot; you can see that they're only slightly oversized and of reasonable quality. I think they look fine when on, too. I also bought a pair of the British-flag Doc Martens boots and wrestled them onto my El, and the results were excellent!

Be sure to buy your Chicline shoes from the '17" Matt Male/Lara Croft Shoes' section and not the '1/4 BJD' section. They look similar, but the ones made for the Matt body are smaller and closer to the correct size!

Also, the clothing in their Matt O'Neill Male Outfit section is workable, but it tends to be more obvious that those pieces are just a little too big. Here's a lousy quick snapshot of my El in the Releaserain striped sweater and the Doc Martens boots--it looks okay in the terrible photo, but the shoulder seams are annoyingly bulky and the sweater is baggy on his torso.

 

There's - no items available in the store? Is it just me having problems cos *censored* ebay keeps locking out Chinese sites because, of course, they're all eeeeevil copied-product-sellers?

 

I can see them and Releaserain are a long established, reputable eBay shop. No reason for eBay to dislike them.

 

Oh, heck. That big URL is probably tracking my specific user ID or something--I can't seem to get a better link, even logged out! Your best bet would be to visit the storefront:

http://stores.ebay.com/Releaserain

And then scroll down to the 'Tonner' section and click on the subsection named '17" Matt Male/Lara Croft Shoes'. Ugh. What a mess. I'm sorry.

 

Oh, but there is a reason! Are them from China? Cos eBay Germany's been blocking a LOT of reputable Chinese doll-shops recently. As they said to "protect" people (because all Chinese shops are, like, CONSTANTLY violating copyrightds and trademarks and they're, like, ALL selling that cheap, low-quality, fake stuff). But honestly, it's probably just to make people buy stuff from German eBay shops/dealers.
*goes to write eBay a very, very upset mail now*

 

Realy? Just because some Chinese companies flout copyright all are being penalised? Definitely time for an email.

 

... which I just did. Just checked - can't access Sunny's Wonderful World, either. It was still working on Wednesday and they still got items listed - I got some of them on my watch list, I still can access them and they're still up but when I go to the store's URL, there's 0 articles listed. And a notice:

So I wrote eBay, telling them that I hope it's a technical thing. And that, if it isn't and if they don't make those shops available again, I'd see myself forced to contact the media about that (which I actually can do, not just showing off here, since I'm working for "the media"). I really don't see why they would have a reason to block those shops, other than them being Chinese. They both got 100% positive feedback, several thousand satisfied customers. Same with Jeeryama ... It's ridiculous.

 

Ebay just loves to cut its own throat, doesn't it? The Chinese companies aren't the only ones that seem to be blocked. One US 1:6 dealer was blocked because he sold historically-correct German outfits for 1:6 WWII action figures that had swastikas on them.
I've bought from Sunny's and Releaserain a number of times and never had any problems with either. I also have no problem buying from their independent websites. As a matter of fact, prices are sometimes lower on the sites than on eBay (ie, 9style). I did fine before eBay and can function (haha - buy stuff!) just as well without them again.
I'll have to dig out the receipt for a great-looking pair of shoes I got for my Rou - they're almost perfectly sized but I forgot where I got them.

I think the sweater looks great! much better than other Matt sweaters I've tried on my boys. The muscular guys fit into Tyler tees nicely since they stretch - my El is wearing a Tyler Supergirl tee and Rou the pink Orlando Fashion Fantasy tee. Cute couple.

 

Unbelievable! I know that you may not show obvious Nazi symbols on eBay so historical action figure clothing sometimes has to be 'Shopped out, but that is just incredible.

I know action figure clothing was discussed a while back and some seemed to fit. Any more experiences on this? My Rou should be in next week and I have NOTHING for him to wear, so I am hoping that I can at least cover his modesty with something from my action figure clothing box.

 

That sweater looks fine for 'sloppy day' wear. They don't ALWAYS have to look like they're on a fashion shoot!

Which wig is that? I like it a LOT!
