Fairyland MiniFee MNF discussion part 68

@Pen-Pen Thank you so much. I love the name Serenia it fits her so well. I'm keeping that for now.

I love your pictures btw. They are so artistic wish I could do that.

@Klaw Would love to see her in elfgray. I love the full set too. It looks different depending on the skin tone of the doll. On my tan it stands out more, looks more bright.

I had the same problem with the head cap it's on so so tight. But one eye was looking a complete different way. What worked with me: I could get it a little open with my finger nail. Then slid a ribbon in there and pulled. Not sure if it was just luck. Some how that worked. But not trying it again.

 

Same! I’d love to see photos in elfgrey!

I’ve also had a horrible time getting her head cap off. I hat how I have to hold her face to get a good grip to even try. I’ve had a little success with sticking my fingernail under and pulling up as hard as I can but oof it’s difficult.

 

I guess Briar is keeping the wig she stole from Braith. The new one I bought looks weird with her ears, and I like the blonde color on her better. I think Braith can pull off mint though, and it'll match his dragon legs now! And now that they both have shoes!

 

Does anyone happen to have a doll in the pure white skin with a face up? As I mentioned before I'm thinking about getting a Phoeb and really like the look of the pure white, but I'm a little worried the face up may look less appealing with a brighter resin. I had this problem with my beauty white F60 Miwa, she's lovely but I feel like her face up looks better on natural or tan skin.

 

Priya and I are anxiously waiting for her sister Nila (phoeb) to come home. I'm looking forward to having two minifee again.

 

This is my CP 2008 ShuShu elf in the original Beauty White. She has a custom faceup that was intentionally soft (she came to me with it and I've had her for over 10 years). Keheley with Lashes by FionneB, on Flickr

 

@Kirahfaye She looks so pretty, thank you for sharing!

I hadn't planned on getting Phoeb for a long while, but the hubby had me put her on layaway. She's my birthday gift! I ended up choosing natural skin as I'm still worried the default face up won't look as nice on the pure white.

Late night rambling because I am nervous about my daughter's surgery tomorrow and can't sleep.

 

@PinkBear gratz on your Karsh his is one of my fav FL heads, up there with Alan.

I love motion line boy body it's a little like the fairyline boy, but with some changes in how it's strung and how the legs work. I find it a little less fiddley to pose then the A-line boys, but all dolls have quirks. FL strings their dolls a little on the tight side, which sometimes makes it hard to add hot glue in the joints if needed. I find some motions boys and some a-line girls like to lean back when sitting up straight un aided. It's not all of them though just a few like to be dramatic I guess.

Fun bonus female a-line heel and kill heel feet can fit some motion line and fairyline boys, it comes down to casting batches.

I know my A-line guys if you wiggle the torso it can move the legs and vicey versy, but motions boys have less kickiness.

Oh if he has one of the new head backs (which he is an older mold so might not) those can be a bit tight. Older head caps can be loose easy fix for that is a bit of tape or tight wig.

Off of the top of my head I can't think of anything else for learning curve of this body, but again all BJDs have some quirks.

 

Yay for more Karsh! I bought 2 back in 2021 during the "discontinuing" sales period, after years of pining after the sculpt, so now I have one in NS and one in WS. They still need faces though. I only recently unboxed them after they've been in storage for years, so I haven't had time to "play" with mine yet.

 

I think this is the quickest I’ve ever bought two dolls at the same time. DDE has a tan Serenia with a faceup and I snatched her up. I think this new character is going to be a mimic that just so happened upon Briar in the woods or something and morphed into her instead of regular twins. I’ve always wanted a fairyland tan

does anyone have twins they can post to make me feel not weird about having two of the same sculpts?

 

I have Sylvia twins, but they are OE and dreaming. Sometimes you just like a sculpt enough to want to style it more than once, nothing wrong with that!

 

They’re both so pretty! That’s exactly what my thoughts were! I knew I’d really regret not getting her in tan, so I took the plunge!

 

@Pen-Pen Thanks! I hope you post pics when she arrives!

 

Definitely! I have a few thoughts about the new girl being a mimic that meets Briar in the woods at sunset and turns into her and all the shenanigans she gets up to looking like Briar’s body double!

 

@Pen-Pen Congratulations you will love her just as much. If I really like a sculpt I have a hard time deciding on skin tone. It started with my first Fairyland doll Rin. I love her so much I have her in F60 too lol.

@Amet Your dolls are gorgeous

@Lillyroos - I love them! Even dressed the same and they still look different! These pictures are making me even more excited for her!

 

Taking a picture of both my Serenia together was hard. But I cannot choose I love them both. The tan for some reason looks magical when it's dark.

She’s really is so gorgeous in tan!
