Peak's Woods Mini Discussion Thread

anyone have a comparison of Peakswoods and Volks NS?? I might wanna put my Dollgru #12 head on the new lolita body from peakswoods! and Dollgru matches Volks xD so either way! some kind of comparison please!

 

DDE has FOB as not available while the bodies are being redesigned. Does any here have more information or know about how long this may take?

 

Hopefully not too long! It's a happy surprise for me, I've always loved Peakswood sculpts but never the bodies. It's exciting, I wonder how they'll improve them!

 

I'm hoping they will do something similar to the improved FOC body. The lolita body is double jointed and lovely. I'd like to see the FOB's on a double jointed body, but I am so awful about waiting

 

That's what I'm hoping for too, oh yus. I love when companies make articulation improvements to their dolls, especially when they look good too. And you're very right, the lolita body is lovely. Plus, it looks like at the very least, the old heads will fit on the new body since they're still selling the heads. That's not too big of an assumption, right?

 

That's what I'm hoping for, too! I love the current head sculpts and think an improved body would be worth waiting for --- even though I hate waiting I may be able to do it for this!

 

Be strong, you can totally do it! Just pretend the update is..shipping rather than a preorder. You just need to wait for the update to ship instead of the long preorder wait. u w u

 

I can't believe this is happening right after I just got my FOB! Oh well LOL. Maybe this means I will have to update her body, or you know just get her a new friend. PW girls are so pretty that I have a feeling one will not be enough.

 

Ooooh, I've always wanted a Lady Bee elf, but I never clicked the order button because I was not convinced about the old FOB body. I really hope they'll update pics of the new body soon!

 

@Dotworkdoll: If anything, it seems like PW would be cool enough to sell the body separately. After all, they're still selling heads on their own, so it's likely they'll just sell the bodies on their own too so people can upgrade.

 

I would be thinking the same thing dotworkdoll if I'd had the $$$ to order when I wanted to. Now we can all search for news updates together

 

After taking Candy out for a fun photo shoot in the park, I've convinced myself I NEED another PW FOB girl this year.... there is something so special about her.... now just to decide who! I'm contemplating wake up Lady Bee or another KoonieS with the gothic make up

*sigh* So beautiful

 

That's awesome news. Although I probably won't be able to update my KoonieS for a while, I'm so excited. All of Peak's Woods new bodies are beautiful so far, so I expect the FOB body to be no different.

Candy looks really cute in those pictures, valee.anne. It's hard resisting the temptation of getting another FOB girl. And now that they're even updating the bodies, I really do think I need another one.

Oh, and congrats on your Mori Moth, dotworkdol​! The long blue wig looks stunning on her.

 

In case anyone is curious... I have my little WS Lady Bee on a white skin Doll Chateau body for now. It's not a perfect match (PW is a little pinker--but my head is pretty old), but it's pretty darn close, and the neck size is perfect. Plus, it's very sweet, and she's very posable.

My guess is that the new body will probably be done before the summer, if not before (they are pretty fast about these things). I can't wait!

I have two Volks girls--but both of mine are ancient... like from 2003 and 2004. So the comparison of the resin probably won't be very accurate. They are very, very yellow! I don't think I'll be of much help!

If it does help... I've made some semi-successful matches in the past with:

Thanks, Orangey34! I've decided I probably need a second Doll Chateau body. I love the look of the FoB heads on the DC Kid body--here is KoonieS on the same body now:

Eeek! I might have a small problem. I wonder if the normal pink skin DC would be a decent match as well?

 

Your KoonieS looks great on a Doll Chateau body, alington! I would have never guessed that the FOB heads would look so nice with Doll Chateau.

I took some pictures of Mona outside today. Her hair was blowing all over the place because of the wind, but she stood just fine. It just has recently started to warm up over here, as you can probably infer from our rather sad looking grass.

 

Everyone's girls are so lovely! And alington, that red wig on your Lady Bee matches perfectly. Thank you for providing the body compatibility with Doll Chateau, too.

Like everyone else, I also hope Peak's Woods offers FOBs for sale again soon.

 

alington Thanks for sharing the gorgeous photos! They do look so lovely on DC kid bodies don't they?

I think I want to get a better body for my Mori Moth but I'm not sure if it should be the updated FOB body or one of those DC kid bodies. She was a decent but not perfect match to my DC Queena in normal pink skin.

OMG--your Morimoth is too cute! I was just thinking of doing this!! Now... waaa!!

For normal skin hybrids--Soom is a little too pink and deep, usually, for PW normal, but I've done it: https://flic.kr/p/eQrGaC
Shockingly, Dollpamm's normal was pretty darn close--a little pink, but my girl is old, old, old: https://flic.kr/p/nQ9WQ6
This is an older normal skin on normal skin Dollmore: https://flic.kr/p/bm3StW
Here's another Dollmore/Peak's Woods: https://flic.kr/p/ey1nFC
Really, really yellowed white skin (and old) Souldoll body with older paler normal skin Peak's Woods: https://flic.kr/p/8VJbwB
Unfortunately, most of my hybrids are white, I think.

OK--I forgot to update this thread, but at the KBJD Show, I got to talk with Pan (of Peak's Woods), and Kyung Min (her sister and the company owner) is the one that works on all the bodies. She has been having serious problems with her hands. Like--it sounds like arthritic issues. (She looks very young to me, but she's been sculpting for a long time.) I asked about the FoB bodies, too--since I would love some body upgrades--and they had been aiming for the summer of this year, but it's definitely been postponed.

She is working on them, and if she knows you want one, and are waiting for one, POST on the message board. PW fans are very, very quiet. We tend not to post our photos everywhere, unlike some other fan groups. So go ahead and ask. On their board. They still may not know. But ask anyway! It never hurts.

BTW--these two ladies who run the company were the BEST, most NICE women I have ever met. I am trying so hard to go to Dollism (and I'm in southern CA), just so I can meet them in person again! I was expecting them to be sweet. But not like that!!
