Peak's Woods Mini Discussion Thread

I ask Peakswoods when they will release the new fob body, and they tell me it will be ready for the end of december/january.
I'm so impatient, I want so much a wakeup lady bee !
Can it be possible to have more pictures of peakswoods/kid dollchateau body hybridation ?

 

Hi, new to PW awaiting the new bodies/alt. looking for resin matches for NS... (I WILL have a KoonieS someday) Thanks Nyl. for the information, hopefully the bodies will be ready by then, and lovely

 

Has anyone had news on when the FoB body will be released? I'm wondering if I skip and go for the next doll on my list, as I've almost reached my savings goal...

 

Ecmm, I'm not 100%, and you could email them and ask--but I heard it was supposed to be May/June. They are currently discontinuing their line of FoC/AB girls--all the basics--to go to a system like Leekeworld, where they only sell LE dolls. (From what I understand, it should decrease delivery time for them.) From what it looks like, they started first with Dandy boys, and now AB/FoC girls. My guess is that next month or the month after they will re-release the FOB girls (and maybe boys) again. (I'm in big trouble once they release these girls again--I'm dying for a new Mia de Butterfly!)

Snowfrost, I have several PW hybrids, but not too many in normal skin. (DollChateau and DollPamm white is about perfect to PW white, FYI.) From the dolls I have, DollPamm normal skin is a good match to PW, as is Dollmore. Soom is a little darker than PW, but the color is pretty close in hue (I think that's the word, LOL!). Here's a link to my Flickr album, which includes a bunch of hybrids: https://www.flickr.com/search/?sort=relevance&text=hybrid&user_id=31024825@N07

And finally, Nyl., this is for you--white skin Lady Bee/DC Kid body:

[MENTION=42761]alington[/MENTION] Oh okay! Thank you for the response. Wow... hmm I wonder what I'll do >: I really want Lady Bee (yours is so precious!!), and was considering putting her on a soulkid body as apparently they're a good resin match. BUT, I adore the company face-up and want to get that, and want to see what the new body looks like/whether I wouldn't need to bother with a hybrid. Leekeworld seems to still offer basic dolls, so I wonder if PW would too... Hmm. The Australian dollar is so bad at the moment I don't even know if I shouldn't wait another 6-12 months to buy anyway

 

Oh--I'm sorry--I was thinking Leeke had discontinued all their basics. My mistake! (I was sure they'd made an announcement last summer about discontinuing all their basics to focus just on LEs--but I must be confusing the companies now. My brain just doesn't work like it should.) PW is retiring all FoC/AB and has already retired all their Dandy boys--and I don't know if we will see them again. Here's a link to their announcement: http://peakswoods.net/board/view.php?board_name=DREAMBOARD4&choose2=&choose1=&pagenow=1&CB=&ID=206

I actually used to have another Lady Bee (NS) on a white skin Souldoll body--the original SoulKid size--an older mellowed white body and then a PW NS head (quite old--she was really pale normal skin at the time, ordered through DollHeart, when they were still a PW dealer--perhaps they sent me white by mistake--though she matched a couple other PW normal skin dolls at the time). Here's a photo:

Ah! Do you know, I think it was your girl that I found when I was searching for hybrid options! Yes it was - I think I ended up looking through your whole Flickr. Yes, ahaha, I've found her again. So do you think the match was only due to the aging of different resins? I think in the end I might place LB at the top of my list and just wait until she is available again. I can be patient!

Thank you for your help~ And gosh your girl is just so gorgeous ahaha. I normally go for the smiley dolls (Mori Moth originally caught my eye!) but I just adore Lady Bee's doe-eyed look. I'm really looking forward to seeing the updated body and what it will be like!

I saw that they're retiring the other dolls. I hope it does end up being LE dolls, rather than they're closing those sizes and stuff forever. I very much love their sculpts and haven't had a chance to get one yet, so I'd hate for them to stop producing one size at a time. Fingers crossed one day I'll bring home my very own Lady Bee!

 

LOL! I do kinda have a lot of photos, I suppose. (It's always a little embarrassing, I have to confess.)

But yes--I think the Souldoll resin matched well because a) the body I had was older, and b) Peak's Woods normal skin used to be quite pale. Unfortunately, I don't have any current Souldoll resin--but the more I experiment, the more I think normal resin would probably match, too. You could ask for a photo comparison in the photo forum, if anyone has it? OR if you can find a dealer who carries both PW and SD, you might get a good response. (I know Denver Doll carries both--you might ask if they happened to have one of each doll in stock.)

Here's another normal skin Soom Rosette and Peak's Woods normal skin comparison--though this is a Naomi head. It looks like a larger (FoB) head might be a little better as far as proportion, but the resin is spot on.

Another gorgeous picture! I've sent you a PM with more body questions Alington, I don't want to clog up the thread eheh. That resin match looks excellent though, and the body has quite a nice aesthetic!
Mmmm I love all your hybrid photos :P They're very helpful, ahaha! Thank you

 

Hey, guys, so I went to the Peakswoods site today after a long while of not going, and noticed that a ton of FOBs were missing! Anyone know if they're coming back?

 

The new FOBs will be released soon~! They announced it on their Facebook page, the first one they showed photos is is Romantic Lady Bee in Lavender-pink skin. It is a lovely color resin!
Here is the link, looks like no body pics yet.

 

Waa I've just seen the new pics of Fob! I wonder what the new body will be like! How exciting! And scary for the wallet ><

 

I'm so excited to see! It'll help me decide whether a FoB or a Rosette :O

 

I am totally broke so I can't get one, but I'm super excited about the new FOB release! I hope the lavender pink resin is something they bring back in the future.

 

I am definitely ordering a lavender-pink girl during this event. The Romantic Lady Bee on their front page is spectacular!!

 

I am hoping to get the Romantic Lady Bee as well Serein. She is really pretty, and that skin tone is amazing. I love that Peakswoods is so great about layaways.

 

How is the resin match between the Peak's Woods white and the Doll Chateau white? There is a hybrid I'm hoping to make with a PW head and a DZ body, both in white, and I'm pretty sure DZ and DC use the same resin. But I could totally be wrong so don't quote me on that.

*edited to add* I'm really excited to see what the new bodies will be like and how they'll be different from the old ones. I sold my Mori Moth but I might just need another FOB.

 

Hi fellow Peak's Woods fans! There is a one of a kind Lady Bee posted on PW website, and it looks like there are the body photos as well! Looks like a mini version of the SD lolita body, very sweet. Here is the link to the photos.

[MENTION=64450]dotworkdoll[/MENTION] - Allington said that the PW white and DC white are a great match! There is a post of hers about this on the upper part of this page.

 

oh man, I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought the new FoB body looked like a mini version of their lolita body. I'm pretty excited about this summer event, between the pretty lavender-pink resin and that new body.

 

Ah the romantic KoonieS they posted on Facebook has stolen my heart!
