Fairyland MiniFee MNF discussion part 68

Ciel is so pretty... And wow, the new white really is white!

 

@LiselT That is some bright white! I feel like they’ve finally got their beauty white stable after the era of beauty green, so I’ll be interested to see how it ages. (And I’m glad it didn’t come out with Raven or there would have been such a debate in my house about whether she needed to be white or white-white. )

@Amadiel Your Ciel is so cute! Her outfit is amazing.

Re: Icarus FINE I’LL DO IT MYSELF. I have this habit of paying off dolls on a Friday so they hit my state the next Friday and sit in a depot near my house for an entire weekend, so here’s a quick after work Monday photo of Constantine. This fullset is reeeeaaally pretty in person. His mask is purple, which does not show up in photos but I love it.

 

Sorry about the shitty photo, I’m laid up in bed feeling like shit because of allergies.

My mint dragon legs came today from DDE and they’re such a nice color! I’m so happy to have my dragon boy complete! Now he and my Sircca match!

There’s definitely some major gapping in the front but seeing as he’s always going to be wearing a shirt it doesn’t really bother me all that much. I do wonder if the girl bodies are really *that* much bigger than the boys though.

 

Oooh, those look way cooler than the plain white ones I have!

 

I’m absolutely in love with them! This photo really doesn’t do them justice! Once I’m not feeling like hot garbage I plan to get some good photos in the sun!

 

Ugh been in and out of hospital but seeing all these new photos helps me feel a bit better!

Oh my gosh @Amet, your Phoeb faceups are so beautiful and compliment her features so well. Love them. Your Icarus is gorgeous too.

@Amadiel she looks so wistful, I often think owner pictures are much nicer to see than the official ones as you get a truer sense of how they are. She’s very pretty!

@LiselT it’s lovely to see them together like that even if it’s just a quick photo. Wow that is white compared to their usual beauty white, can’t wait to see if you manage to get a good photo of the ebony resin. It is maddening how some shades are just about impossible to photograph accurately, their tan is the same and that drives me nuts!

@GoldfishMage thank you, tried to work on it a bit more at the weekend but I went and broke my favourite pencil sharpener (the watercolour pencils I use are an odd size) and now it just keeps snapping them instead of sharpening

@Pen-Pen thank you and your boy is gorgeous, the legs almost look like they’re carved from jade!

 

@Blodeuwedd I have got to, at some point, get a pic of all my minifee together, lol. That is going to take SO much fussing!

Also, may I present a better look at my goth Phoeb, who has not settled on a name yet~

In restring adventures with the Moe body: the body is a nightmare. Beside the original neck connector being broke, there is a crack down the side of the neck, the right leg was not bored correctly, so the calf has a very narrow hole and takes a lot to get any elastic through. Poor girl seems to have been a bad day in quality control, or done at the end of the business day.

 

Hello, I just received my first MiniFee, Ariel Vampire and am unfamiliar with this body and had a question about the back magnets. I noticed that she only has two magnets in her back, but the wings she came with have four, making the wings super loose and prone to falling off. I had to tape two extra magnets to her back to get the wings to stay on and they are still not very stable. Is this normal, for there to be only two magnets? I do have the Feeple65 Rick and his wings stay on super tight. Thanks so much for any help!

 

@Blodeuwedd Thank you!

@Klaw Man that sounds frustrating! Idk if you’ve said when your body was from, but Fairyland has unfortunately had entire periods of bad quality control. They seem to have improved in recent years but they were notorious for it for a while.

@snailfaerie That’s how they’re designed. I think Ariel’s wings are unfortunately one of those experiments that only ended up sort of working. When I put mine on for photos I tie clear beading cord around the spines at the neck to hold them on, because any shift in her weight will throw them off. They look so cool but they are too heavy for her back magnets. (We also have Raven and Icarus in the house with wings and theirs are muuuuch smaller and lighter. Still a delicate connection you have to watch, but they’re not unable to hold themselves up at all the way Ariel’s are.)

 

I don't suppose anyone here has a mnf Raven with a non-company faceup? I've been giving her sculpt heart eyes lately and would love to see how versatile it is!

 

I picked the body up from DDE last October, but hadn't got to working on her until recently. I think it will be an easy fix once I get a new neck connector, especially now that I have the body completely apart. It's frustrating, but a learning experience that will probably help me in the future.

 

Thanks so much for the info! Since my dolls mostly just stand there I went ahead and used some eye putty to add four magnets to her back and it definitely helped to hold the wings on tighter. But yes, they are too heavy and if she is picked up, the wings cause her to bend backwards a little.

 

I just finished the major work on those three wigs, I am very happy with how they look on my girls. Now I just need to style them!

You're making me want a VE Phoeb!

 

@thakyuki Sorry! She's such a pretty sculpt though!

 

The wigs are beautiful! Your girls look great!

 

Thank you! I enjoy making them. My minifee are such a spoiled crew, they all demand alpaca wigs

If it ever stops raining, I would love to get Kerridwen and Cerridwen out for pictures outside.

 

thinking about getting a phoeb boy in the deep ebony color. Has anyone else gotten the deep ebony color yet?

 

Mine is still at the spa, I'll post her when she's back!
