Does anyone know if the feeple65 Sylvia sale is only for the span of the event or if she’s just available now? I’d like to grab her, because I have her vamp face, and it would be cool to have a human expression for her—but I definitely shouldn’t buy her now
They posted an Announcement separate from the Winter Event, stating that she was brought back by popular request!
Hello! I don't know if It is the right place for this ^^" But I recently received my brand new Feeple65 Rick directly from Fairyland, and there are some details that feels odd. First is the faceplate that is bigger than the headback, the headback doesn't fit correctly to the neck connector and the faceplate falling off because it doesn't fit either. I wanted to know if I was alone with this mold or do you have the same issues? Is it the same for the Rozen?
Fairyland appears to be having quality issues lately. Maybe show us some photos of the parts, and the fit issues? Also, I'd suggest contacting Fairyland, with photos, and if they're unhelpful, and it's less than 180 days since your order was placed, a PayPal dispute can be helpful in getting the help you need.
@Snowing, I ordered my boy a few years ago, so I can't speak for recently. I have a Rozen, and I did not notice any real issues with the fit/headcap itself. It seems very similar to my Medusa in the way it fits and sits.
I have both Rozen and Rick, and Rick's face is ever so slightly bigger, and it tends to look a little off/funny without a wig on. As for fit of face plate to head back that can very with casting and of my handful of F65 guys and girls a few of them had to trade head backs for prefect fits. Sometimes things do not settle right in the casting stage, if you contact FairyLand and they wont replace the head back. You can try buying another head back either through them or DDE and it might fit better. I had to do that with an event face place as it would not set on the one I ordered with it. Luckily I had another F65 face plate that also needed a head back and it fit that one fine. That said if it's not setting on the neck connector there maybe a bigger issue at hand with the part and likely needs a full replacement part.
miffimifster : Yes that's what I saw from other owners this past years, but also with my last order that was a Feeple76 body... I've sent an email to them, but no answer yet. errinreynolds : Okay, maybe it is a casting issue.. Tippetarius : Yes that what I was thinking when I got him out of the box, that it looked off ^^" If that's something you see with your dolls, it's probably what you said, a casting issue. And do that mean they use the same mold of headback for all the Feeple65 now? (like for male and female?) I'll see what Fairyland answer to my email, I don't know if my photos will help to send a new headback..
They might see the slight mismatch in size as acceptable casting variables/tolerances. There is obviously a difference but it could be small enough to FL to not count as a problem. I'm not at all saying it's right but that might be their viewpoint and they might refuse to do anything to remedy the situation. I'd be annoyed over that, especially after purchasing directly from the company where I'd expect quality control to catch stuff like that and the amount of money these dolls cost even when blank.
It looks like an issue, for sure - shrinkage, maybe? Overuse of molds? I'm sorry that I sound like a Devil's Advocate here, but you've paid a lot of money for a very apparently faulty product. It's obvious to us, even if Fairyland refuse to acknowledge. It'll likely be obvious to PayPal staff handling your dispute.
Iron_Dog : That's what I am expecting from their response... I ordered parts with him and some of them have issues as well, I am a little disappointed because it was a 1k order. miffimifster : I would say overuse maybe, but yeah I'll see what they say. I never had that kind of problems with them, broken parts but they always send new ones for exemple. (what I don't like is the big ugly molding lines)
@Snowing Yeah, that would irk me something fierce. Especially since for me, whatever it turned out to be in USD$, it's more as the Canadian dollar exchange rate is less than the US$ right now. Like a $1,000US order would be at least $1,388CAD (based on today's exchange rate), so having those issues after spending nearly $1,400CAD (+shipping!) would cheese me off a lot.
