Fairyland MiniFee MNF discussion part 67

That's what I'm afraid. I love mermaid and want one for a long time, but can't seem to find the one with good poseability.

The fairyline seahorse is the best I've seen in 1/4 range, but I like him to be a boy(If possible)... and the seahorse tail doesn't fit boy body... This new merman did give me some hope, but well we have to wait and see.

 

Do you think we’re going to get a re-release of the male A-Line body? I emailed Fairyland about it months ago and they said they’d do so the next time they released a new male Minifee. That’s all I care about, lol

 

If you’re not a Facebook user and want to see the new doll, Denver Doll Emporium posted the images to Instagram too. Not as fast to post the images, obviously, but they got them up not too long after.

 

@lully.lullers When I bought the Alicia fullset I don't thiiiink the tail was separately sold too, but they've been doing more of that recently so maybe it will be! I wish the bottom tail fin piece would have the same connector as the bottom seahorse tail piece so I could swap them out. And that it comes in more colors as you say!! But I'm fairly safe, I don't collect the boys...

 

Yeah they have offered some Fairyline pieces separately, which is hopefully them finally coming around to the idea that people will eagerly buy heads bodies and parts, and that offering those means more sales.

 

I think I may be safe from the tail as it doesn't look as pretty and colorful as the previous mermaid related tails but I may be in danger for the boy himself and the fullset outfit...

 

Oh, I am screwed. I love his face, and I actually do like the more subtle color palette. He is a veeeeerrry pretty boy.

 

I'm 100% doomed I love everything about him.

 

Denver Doll Emporium just got a bunch of new stuff in stock, including blank NS Phoebs!!

 

DenverDoll will be the death of me.

 

Also, as far as we know there aren't any photos of Phoeb in normal skin or tan skin? I feel like the photos of dolls with white skin and company faceup look very heavily blushed and kind of "too much" for me. But I also think it may be the contrast of the faceup against white skin. I thought the same thing about Lami - her white skin and white hair made her initially look very washed out but she is actually much cuter haha.

Edited to add that that's why I'm so excited for a DES faceup. I find the "older" faceup style to maybe be a little simpler, but with less heavy blushing on the cheeks and forehead. Also I don't think there was the tendency to have the blue blushing around the inner corner of the eye.

 

Not to change the topic suddenly but does anyone know what size S hook is used in the Minifee neck mechanism? I was restringing my girl for the first time and the S hook got bent and isn’t usable anymore.

 

To be honest, I don't know either. You can email fairyland to ask.

I think we don't suppose to remove S hook from the neck connector when restring? (Restrung my minifee like... 5-6 times and didn't remember I do that. This may vary in some types of body like the fairyline body? I guess) Anyway, if you could upload picture here, maybe someone with more knowledge than me could help

 

I was trying to not remove the S hook but it broke in the process

 

Fabulous! If they’re starting to trickle in then hopefully it won’t be too long a wait for mine (part of a split/group order and not from DDE).

Believe me @Nabbs, if I lived in the US instead of the UK Denver Doll Emporium and Fairyland would not only be the death of me, they’d be burying me in a doll box….probably Fairyland! Thankfully the shipping charges and customs tax mean I have to think before buying!

 

Denver Doll Emporium often carries new neck connectors, in case you want to just replace it. (They don't have to be in matching resin color because they're invisible when in the doll, I think DDE has NS ones.)
If not, someone handy with fine tools can possibly reshape an s-hook of similar wire gauge to the right shape for you. To get one, take the bits of the one you had to a hardware store and ask them for their tiny S-hooks.

 

One of the BJD news threads had a link for a craft store that bought out the remaining Monique wig stock. I snagged 3 and I'm so excited!!

 

Does anyone know if the tail of the Akis mermaid doll would fit any of the female bodies? I'm guessing no because it's for a male body but thought I'd see if anyone knows.

 

Still waiting for the detail. It's depend, since the centaur, faun legs had designed to fit both boy and girl torso, but seahorse, harpy etc doesn't work the same way. I don't know.

The only thing I could tell is "If the mermaid tail fit the female body too, they will surely release a female mermaid too in the future"

It's like what happened to centaur and faun, the egyptian set, the alice in wonderland set etc.

 

It’s already June 20th and almost 10:00am in South Korea… So, any minute now?
