Fairyland MiniFee MNF discussion part 67

Oh wow thank you!
I suppose the last piece of this puzzle is if the mermaid body I have was before or after they started to do Fairyline as a thing...Time for me to do more digging in the news page. Edit: Okay yeah this is the Sia tail, from their first Fairyline body- makes sense.

 

Do you have a preferred eye size for your minifees? Does it depend on the sculpt? I'm planning to pre-buy just a few extra sets for my Celine (she'll be coming with random eyes).

 

Depends on the sculpt for me. My Dina has small eyes and she wear 10mm (a bit of gap) or 12mm with small iris. I prefer Alicia in 12mm but she can wear 14mm. And I have a event head with big eyes who wears 14mm. Though generally I think minifees look good with 12mm.

Celine has big eyes so she can wear 12 or 14mm. It depends on iris size really. Bigger is more cutesy snaller more mature.

 

most of mine use 12-14 (sircca, iset, karsh, lishe, dina, juri20) with the smaller iris, but my soo event head I think uses 14s with the regular size iris. I personally like 14s with the smaller iris in mnf more, I think it rides that perfect line of mature/cutesy

 

I'm curious, has anyone tried putting an A-Line girl on one of the seahorse tails? Obviously it would be more difficult, since the Fairyline bodies are built to do that easily. But I kind of want to grab a seahorse tail from this event, but I only have A-Line girls at home to pair it with. Curious if anyone has tried this?

 

If the seahorse tail has the same kind of attachment as my Dina's hooves, you won't be able to use am a-line body I don't think. The difference between her fairyline body is that it comes apart at the torso and the elastic is attached to an O ring. The legs are strung completely separate rather than fromntop to bottom. That ring is what you attach to a thick resin hook on the fantasy parts and tension keeps it together.

Now, I haven't taken any of my minifee apart yet, but to try I would think you will need to get an O ring and shorter elastic to try this, if the torso comes apart after the same place?

 

It's possible technically, but need some mod to work out. I had saw someone on instagram putting A-line body on Dina faun legs before with mod (I don't think the body could go back to human legs, sadly)

If you want them to be exchangeable, the best way is to buy a fairyline body, along with the seahorse tail.

 

The new Mermaid is not for me, but Fairyland is finally showing a picture of the new dolls head with the faceup (at least the dreaming heads) and without a wig or anything. This is so cool, so hopefully no more weird eyebrow surprises in the future.

 

A few posts above yours i detailed out how this would work measurements wise! Its under the spoiler that says "Cursory Findings".

 

I can easily mod the A Line body to have the fairyline type inner shelf for an o ring and allow the stringing to work, I've seen inside one and it's not rocket surgery to me, but my only concern was whether the hips themselves would fit.
Edit:
The above mentioned post is the info we have so far, until someone can show an upward internal side by side of an A-Line and Fairy Line girl body

Edit- either that or I take apart and try my Old Version A Line girl on the seahorse hips to at least rule that one out or not.

Post Post Script!
Okay I'mma do it. I don't have the Renewal body but I have the original A line. It's taken me this long because of health, but also because the Organizers I had helping me fix my sewing room, in their Efficiency Wisdom, work by taking everything out of theboxes I had it in and sorting it into new neater box systems.
which means they dismantled my Dollwork Kit I've been taking to meets and Cons for years and split up all the parts as seen through the vision of someone who's never seen dolls before. I am still tryingt o locate all the tools. My big hemostats might have been put in the garage because TOOLS.
Sigh.

Okay! So! In summary, the Old A-line doesn't work without modding.

I made a thread in Photo Reference to put together Minifee hybridizing tests with Fairyline parts.
The New A-line Renewal bodies might be a different fit, but I do not have one of those, so I rely for that on asking if anyone else does have that and a Seahorse tail to compare.

 

So about the old/first Sia Seahorse mermaid tail and fairyline torso, I own one which got one second hand a while back. It had the flat bust, so I made mine a mer-boy. Mine doesn't have legs just the tail, and he'd been stored for years before he was sold by his first owner. When I first got him the lower torso part seemed too big to set right in the tail. It sat awkwardly and would shift side to side. It never fit in smooth, and sat very similar to the pic of the A-line torso in the tail by @Rosslyn just a touch better. This is one of the first fairy-line dolls and had been stored for a while in box so not sure if resin warped or it never fit fully. Because I wanted a better fit I ended up sanding it just a bit until the fit smooth and it didn't pop out of place on it's own, and now the doll is prefect.

This is Ezra my mer-boy, I also modded/glued on some gills to make him more unique.
Ezra Westbrook

You can see in his picture how his lower torso now sets in the tail nicely.
Hope this info helps those with A-line girl or even MNF boy hybrid with fairy-line parts plans.

 

Thank you to everyone who replied! The photo especially is really helpful. I don't want to have to do heavy modding on my girls, so I guess I will start saving up for a Fairyline body to do it properly! Thank you guys

 

Does anyone know what size of eye looks best in Minifee Hwayu, and what size wig she takes? I'm worried I may be woefully unprepared for my Hwayu's arrival next week

 

Probably a 6/7 wig, most minifees can fit that size. Eyes probs either 12mm or 14mm, depending on preference.

 

Last week I finished an outfit for my Celine and got her all dressed up and ready for adventure, and I'm really in love with how she looks now and proud of my work. Here she is!

mee too!! I need that mermaid tail for my minifee So, minifee heads are compatible with fairyline bodies I guess? #feelingsonewbie

So beautiful!! You can be very happy with your work!!

 

All minifee heads except Mika/Mir are compatible with fairyline body.

This had been confirm once by fairyland (Those two mentioned sculpt has more narrow neck hole or some issue... if I remember correctly)

I'm planning to put other head on my merman body too. The Akis sculpt will get another character.

 

@Eldawyn thank you so much!!

 

its been a while! I redressed Sebastian today and got him a new wig and i feel like im in love with him all over again! Also i saw that fairyland is re-releasing Erda! i hope more ppl get one i love this sculpt very much!

 

I was hoping to get some opinions on the cutie legs (on new bodies). Likes, dislikes? How do they pose?
