Fairyland RealFee Discussion Part 7

I wish FL would sell realfee bodies + headbacks separately. I have a couple extra face plates that could use bodies.

 

I'm very excited to finally get one of those hippogriffs, but I REALLY hope they offer mint or something. I'm not a huge fan of the purple resin or tan and would rather not default to white. If anyone wants pink or mint, they should tell Fairyland on their board or something before the event starts so we can see what options we can get

 

Ooh how exciting! I thought we were due perhaps another Littlefee but this is better, hopefully!

 

Fairyland is offering Rus in natural, white, pink and violet.

 

They never really say - and there are no pictures- Will Rus connect to a Realfee? It does, however caution about taking it apart on FL’s website. Although, you would have to take off the head to put on the sleeping head.

 

It looks like the original Rus that connects easily to a realfee, no need to take it apart. The neck is connected to he body with a hook, just like the lower body of a realfee. And the sleeping head is a faceplate like other Fairyland dolls have,

Here's how Rus looks with a realfee upper body:

Very excited about the realfees they brought back! I had been wanting a Toki I wonder if they are here to stay for a whioe or only part of the event I better spring for Toki regardless lol I don't wanna kick myself in the butt later.

 

I was hoping they’d have Pano, that’s who I want more than anything but I’m still happy to see Soso, Coco and Toki. Very tempted by Rus but as I tend to avoid things that need body blushing (my hands sweat badly) do I really want to end up getting angry at myself for not being able to get it looking how I think it should? Aargh, damn you Fairyland and your incredibly adorable dolls!

 

@spih Yours is adorable, by the way! I love his fur wig. It's perfect!

Thanks! I purchased the female that went with the former Rus secondhand and I have always wanted the fantasy parts to go with her. I like that they have Rus's head too because I think he will also be her pet.
I love that you can purcase the rabbit legs too! I also have a second hand older bunny realfee too. Boy this is going to be an expensive month! Fortunately my birthday is on Sunday

 

I have an old Pano faceplate and I was hoping to get a body and a headback for him, but Fairyland says that they have modified the faceplates to fit the vampire Luna faceback. I wonder how much they have changed the construction and if it would be possible to modify it to fit the old faceplate.

Does anyone have both the Luna vampire headback and an older headback to compare how much and how they have changed?

 

I’m not sure about your exact doll but I attached an older Realfee plate (Haru) on the recent Luna body without any problem.

 

That's interesting. Haru is a girl faceplate. I have an old girl body (Coco, though I have used he Sira event faceplate on her). I tried Pano faceplate on her and though it looks all right, it won't stay on. It seems that the girl headback is slightly narrower. There are places for magnets, though, and I think with added magnets the Pano face plate would stay on.

I asked Fairyland about the new headbacks and they just stated that the old faceplates don't fit. They did not give any details, though.

Could you take a picture of the vampire Luna headback (without a faceplate) and perhaps also a picture of an old headback so that I could see what kind of difference there is and if either the old Pano faceplate or the new headback could be modified so that they would fit.

 

@spih I tried all the heads on all the head backs. One of my new Luna head backs was loose on all the bodies, but would have been fine especially with a head cap or wig. The other new Luna head fit well on all of them, so it was just a FairyLand "thing."

There were gaps no matter whose head I put on what body. Even the heads that came with the bodies had slight gaps.

Thank you @spih for bringing that up about the old/new thing and thank you @Dollquest for trying them out.

 

Thank you very much! It looks like there is no major difference. A little looseness can probably be helped by adding a magnet or just some eye putty. A slight gap would be covered by a wig. I think I may take the risk - and if I order Toki, I would still get a cute RealFee that I don't have already even if I can't fit the Pano faceplate on him.

 

I'm so happy I ordered a tan Toki! Her smiling face and big ole elf ears are just too cute! I def look forward to the day this girl arrives!

 

I think I have figured out what the difference between the new and the old headbacks is. All the dolls in Dollquest's comparison pictures are girls, therefore the old and new faceplates can be switched around. I tried Pano faceplate on my old RealFees. It fits fine on all boy headbacks, but is loose on a girl headback. I tried my floating Coco headback on a couple of my boy RealFees, but it did not fit! It might have gone on if I had tried hard enough, but I did not want to break anything. So it seems that the old boy RealFee headbacks have been slightly bigger than the girl headbacks, and now Fairyland has modified them all to be the same size. That means that my old Pano faceplate would be a little loose on the new headback, but I could make it stay on with either magnets or eye putty.

And while I was fooling around with the faceplates, I put the sleeping faceplate on Orm, my dragon boy:

I’m so excited! Been kicking myself for not getting a tan Toki the first time around so I put in my order today! Cannot wait!

 

just ordered eva this morning! the little ears is what got me

 

Where do you all get your clothing for your Realfee's? I'm going to have to order a Soso, as I've kicked myself for missing out on her for forever. Just wondering where everyone shops for clothing for these little ones?
