Fairyland MiniFee MNF discussion part 68

Thank you for all you pretty tan dolly pictures.
Is it true than tan resin turns greenish after a while?

 

Tan Lami and NS Celine. This pink wig looks good on everyone! Clothing is a mix of TitoDoll, Balljointed Soulmates, Denver Doll, and Ellowyne Wilde.

The new event head (I'm pretty sure) is a sleepy vampire DES. My wallet. I just got my tan DES a few weeks ago. The only thing holding me back is they don't offer a faceup.

 

Oh there will be a Lookback head too :O
Maybe there will be more?

 

Everyone's tan dolls are gorgeous! I still have yet to paint my tan Lookback Shiwoo (that I've had for like a year now ) but I read that MSC can dry weird on tan resin so I'm scared to mess him up.

 

I got gouache paints and tried them out on Felicity's dreaming head. It is so much easier than acrylic for a fluid upper lid "liner" and eyelashes! Comparison of the new faceup on the right, and her old faceup on the left. The one on the left utilizes watercolor pencils for the eyelashes and eyebrow hairs. I also wanted it to look more natural so I toned down the cheek blushing and lip color. I was less worried about the eyebrow shape since her Monique wig has very long bangs haha. I also keep forgetting to put eyelashes on, though. Oops. Forever wishing they would re-release Marcia as a Lookback, but I don't think she was popular enough for them to justify it. (Still also struggling with the idea of re-shelling her into a more "grown up" looking sculpt like Maya or Sircca.)

 

heres my boy dressed in a way that is NOT his style but he still rocks it. Really wish FL would re-release kyle so i can get him in tan but he wasnt very popular either.

 

Does anyone know what scale/a company that heads would look more porportional on minifee heads?
here’s my dilemma, I really like minifee bodies and their head sculpts but I just don’t like them together… the heads look to big to me
But as mentioned I really like their body sculpt so I’m curious if there’s like a known brand that looks good hybrided onto the body?

also unrelated but I wish fairyland would release a minifee sized Rozen! I adore his sculpt but I don’t collect dolls over 50cm unfortunately

 

How often do you switch your dolls' hands? I'm trying to decide whether ordering some of the new hands is worth it... I like the idea of variety, but am unsure as to how often I'd really play with them.

 

@Aurify only when I need a specific pose, the other time my doll usually stay with default hands.

Most of my dolls do have a spare hands though, Fairyland or not.

 

DenverDoll has a bunch of blue and gray dolls in stock. My wallet is crying, but I'm trying to stay strong.

 

I was very tempted to get a blue or gray girl to go with my 3 blue boys, but I could not do that and get Nuia and Arial. In the end the elf and vampire pirate won.

 

Those in stock grey dolls are hurting me so bad, but I really don't want to settle for a sculpt I only mostly like. I wish I knew if they'd do this again with other heads so I can hold out for someone else. I had this idea for a grey boy on a black centaur body to make a storm horse, but I just really want a different head option. The FOMO is real.

 

That’s how I feel too! I’ve been wanting a fantasy color minifee for YEARS! I was so excited they finally did it, but in the end the particular head sculpts they offered I already either owned or wouldn’t have picked. I spent a lot of time pouring over owner pictures of the available heads, and am a little tempted by the vampires, but decided to hold off. FL made it sound like they’d be offering fantasy colors again in the future, I really hope so! I’m still worried I might regret not getting one this time around.

 

I know there's an event currently going on, but do we think there will also be a Christmas/holiday event? I'm more into 'winter' themed things than halloween-themed...

 

@Aurify FairyLand tries to have four events a year, Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall.
So I would say unless something goes wrong there will be a Winter event either in Dec, or Jan.
With the extra event in Summer where they offered blue and grey skin they talked about fantasy colors being hard to do and limiting batches to twice a year at most. So we might also see a bonus event with more new colors for skin tone some time in winter.

 

I repainted Felicity's main faceplate with my new-found love of gouache ( I will never paint eyelashes with acrylic again lol). I also stole eyes from my F60 Lishe. I had bought her new 12mm eyes for a smaller iris but there was gapping that really bothered me. This was also my first time putting eyelashes on a faceup! The lashes themselves aren't my favorite, but I found the process much easier than anticipated. Still debating on reshelling her into a different sculpt, but I'm much happier with her now.

 

I think you did super well with the lashes! They're always my least favourite part to do, haha.

 

I had to take a spooky pic for Halloween. Love her so much!

 

@brightberry She is really beautifully spooky! My Phoeb had to join in.
