1. It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.

Fairyland LittleFee Discussion Thread - Part 34

Aug 10, 2021

    1. Yeah, I think so, too. :vein So I actually went ahead and emailed Fairyland to ask if they knew for sure which sculpts would be discontinued and they actually got back to me quickly to say they didn't "at this stage". I don't know if that's a "can't" or a "won't", but fair enough; my best guess would be that they're going to assess sales analytics before curating their LittleFee range.
       
    2. Ugh... please not DES! I still need one in normal skin!

    3. Pffffff get back in the hobby & immediately start panicking over FL news....ah it's like I never left :sweat
      May have to jump right back into spending $$ bc there are a couple older LTF sculpts I'd really like that prob will 'get the axe' so to speak, in any revamps. Well, I've got a couple weeks to decide anyway, time to pray for my wallet :lol:

    4. Yeah, I had planned to eventually scale up the character I created with my pukipuki many years ago since they’re so hard to style at that size, but not for some time. I actually *also* just got back into the BJD hobby after a long absence, and I’m trying not to get carried away since I’m no longer a fourteen-year-old scraping together my allowance for a Puki. :chomp:

    5. Ahhh nooo :( just as I've become obsessed with LittleFee... I've already bought 2 fullset SDs this past month so it's hard to think of buying another doll, but if the price is gonna increase, I should go for the LittleFee now rather than later, right :lol:? I kind of have my eye on PongPong 2, but Lewi is also cute! I'm sure Chloe and Cygne are safe from being discontinued for a while...

    6. Wow I hope they announce which faceplates will be discontinued, that would definitely be the deciding factor in me finally springing for a Leah or Luna - I know both are older but I'm not sure of the popularity of either. Didn't think my first Littlefee would be a panic buy but it might just be! :XD:

    7. I see more Lunas here than Leahs, if that helps. I rarely ever see a Piki. I imagine the Pukisha face is one they'll discontinue.

    8. I sure hope they'll tell which molds are going to be discontinued. I have spent way too much money last month and this month already, but if they are going to discontinue Pong Pong, I'll have to reconsider. By the way, I think Piki is a cute mold, but fortunately I have one already so I don't need to worry about Piki being discontinued.

    9. Earlier this month, I asked FL outright which ones they were and they told me they couldn’t say, which I hope means they’re still making decisions and that it’s not going to be a surprise. :nowords: Fingers crossed they make some kind of announcement in the next few weeks (and a promotion, too? That’d be nice!).

      In agreement with @clochette , my personal panic-buy would be the Pukisha. I hardly see them anywhere and that probably means they don’t sell that well. I wish they had done more promotional styling with them beyond just swapping out faceplates upon the LTF’s debut years ago.
       
    10. I really hope they're able to tell us which ones before the deadline. It would certainly prompt me to order now if I knew a sculpt I wanted was going to be discontinued. Plus, with the sarang event going on, it would be a good time to order if it ended up being a "now or never" kind of situation.

      Luna has also been my favorite LittleFee even before I liked LittleFee. I've always been holding out hope they'd make a Minifee version of her though :whee:

    11. Request: So, I do plan to order a LittleFee. I love them and I have been considering another boy to play with Ari (Jack). Could you all please post some of your boy LittleFees and tell me what sculpts they are?

      This is Ianto before I fixed his hair, lol. He's a Chiwoo with a modded mouth, so only his eyes and nose are really representative of the sculpt.

    14. Here's a picture of some of my boys. L to R: Nanuri 2013, Elf El, Sarang 2014, Shiwoo, Elf El tan, Pipi. You can see part of my Lewi's face on the left, but there's a better pic earlier in the thread.

      Of these that are still available, I expect El and Shiwoo to be kept, not as sure about Pipi. El is a pretty popular sculpt, I would be surprised if either he or Lishe are on the chopping block.

    15. Elf El has been on my radar for quite a while but I've never pulled the trigger. I hope they don't discontinue him, as I "need" to get another girl to share the floating head load before getting another boy. I do love El though. I'm trying to decide which girl I want to get. I'm leaning towards Cygne, as I have the Cygne vampire head as a floating head. I also really like Vampire Hwaya though.
       
    16. Thank you! I have had so much fun looking at all your boys! It has really helped me to decide! @Rosslyn , your Chiwoo looks like quite the character. He is very handsome! @JinCIncy , you Pipi simply melts my heart! He is sooo sweet! @spih , your crew are so adorable. I ordered a Bisou girl in January. Shiwoo is so cute! Pipi is almost exactly what I was going for - the little towheaded kid (since my Ari has dark hair.) @clochette It was great to see them all lined up like that. El was one of the ones I was wondering about and your Nanuri '13 and Sarang '14 are gorgeous! did you paint them? Lewi is cute - I went back to look at him. He is "all boy!" I really wish tan were available. I haven't been able to collect any tan LittleFees. Anyway, thank you all so much! This gives me a much better idea of what the sculpts really look like!

    17. Thank you! Both my Sarang and Nanuri were painted by Pam Ford, PamSD here on DoA. She's painted most of my gift plates and some of my other kiddos. I've been very lucky, she is very creative. Often my tan kiddos are duplicate faces, because the tan gives them such a different look. I know FL still makes tan because the last PKF release was available in tan, so I wouldn't give up hope.
       
    18. Thanks very much! I did his mods and faceup. I do owe him some more pics where he's not just modeling stuff.
