Fairyland RealFee Discussion Part 7

I order from DDE in January, and finally got to open the package yesterday! (It arrived to my parents just after I moved out of town, so I had to wait about 3 extra weeks until I could go back for a visit) inside was my Realfee May, bunny ears, the event faceplate, pukifee connector, pukisha faceplate (a bit more yellowed than the rest of the rest of the NS stuff? ) , and a pink Leeke wig.
I instantly fell in love with her, and instantly knew her name was Minette. I still need to get the magnets glued in so I can put her bunny ears on, but I feel super weak when trying to pull the magnets apart (do I just use normal super glue to glue them in?)

I was also really surprised with how big she is, realfee look a lot smaller in pictures x3
(I hope this picture is okay to post?)

 

Wooo congratulations!
It's possible the Pukisha plate is something they had in stock at DDE or Fairyland itself so it's probably from a different resin batch or just slightly discolored from age.
The wig looks cute on her!

 

They only had a few Pukisha faceplates left so I expect it was from an older batch as Snow says.

 

Thank you! I need to make her some clothes now x3

 

PKF Pukisha event was in 2009. Not sure how long you could order the plates after that point.

 

Yeah, those are *fierce* magnets! It's easier to separate them by sliding the two pieces sideways, rather than trying to pull them apart.

Normal super glue works fine -- just be sure (I say this because I've done it) you have the magnets positioned correctly, so they attract rather than repelling the ears.

Also, I don't think this will be a problem with the Leeke wig, but sometimes if my doll is wearing a particularly thick wig, I have to put an extra set of magnets "outside" (on top of) the headpiece, then put the wig on, then use the ears. The extra magnets don't need to be glued on, they're just to give some extra "pull" so the ears stay where you want them!

 

Thank you! I managed to get them glued in the other day it was a challenge and ended up with super glue all over my fingers, but they are in! X3
I might try the extra magnets though. Since the ears will stick but they feel a bit loose with the wig on.. like they could fall off with a hard enough shake o.o (not that I'm shaking or throwing her around or anything)

Have been really busy lately so have not had a chance to make her any clothes, but I did find a realfee pattern set that was only around $3canadian so I'm going to try and make something for her with that this weekend

 

@Violetx0x Congratulations

 

Where is the best place to get extra magnets? My second hand Pano needs some for his horns and head. He's at least third hand so I have no idea where they ended up with all his owners, but they definitely didn't make it in his head.

 

Can someone post what the head back looks like? It looks like I might have to make one.

Ebay...that's where I got a bunch

 

Look for 'rare earth' or 'neodymium' magnets. They're widely available & inexpensive now, online at the usual places, or from hardware / craft / tech part stores. You need a specific size to fit into the sockets (holes) in the faceplate, but I don't remember the measurement off-hand.

 

They used to sell magnets on Fairyland's page, too, however if you are not getting anything else with it the shipping would be way too high. So Ebay or Amazon are better options.

BTW, anyone knows when they are going to reopen their ordering system?

 

From their site:

As of April 27th, all orders placed at FairyLand has been shipped.

Due to external managerial reasons that has taken place rather recently, we are extending the temporary pause for next 2-3 more weeks.

We do apologise for the delay.

We are also working on trademark/branding issue that has been reported to for us last couple of days.
More detail will be available soon in our image blog post.

Once again, we thank you for your patience and look forward to seeing you soon with new release.

3 weeks extra would take them to May 21st.

 

@Anne Laurie Thanks. I need to figure out the size so I don't get the wrong size.

@Sharkyra do they still sell the extra magnets? I should've looked there first.

 

I've always got my Realfee magnets from Fairyland, albeit they're closed for another week, but the dealers might sell them.

Hello, if there is anyone willing, could I see some pictures of Coco? I’m really wanting to get one, can’t wait for Fairyland to re-open.
Thanks

 

All dressed, with her bunny ears! I love her so much

 

She is beautiful!

You are right, she is lovely. I never realized how cute her profile is! Great picture
