Peak's Woods Mini Discussion Thread

@blackcat87 thank you for your kind words!
I agree that PW's face-ups are stunning but I decided not to order my Dotty Muse with the Dark Elves face-up since it was too dark and mature for the character I had in mind. And the cost of the face-up was one reason too... My Rosemii does have the gorgeous PW face-up though sometimes I feel it's too brown for her bluegrey skintone. I don't like brown in general.

 

I ordered during the winter event! ^_^ I ordered a emerald green Lady Bee (Elf Ears) with the Little Yeru Dark Elf limited makeup. I fell in love with @suruni 's emerald green doll, and also several others I've seen in this thread! I'm so happy Lady Bee was one of the few with elf ears - I like her a lot and had her sculpt in my wish list. I really loved how the elf ears were painted in the Dark Elf face-up - the pink tips of the ears - so pretty! I loved the contrast of the pinks and purples with that beautiful green skin. Peak's Woods has particularly pretty green skin dolls - it looks to me to be more of a mint green than emerald!

One of the projects I have planned for Lady Bee is creating an "Absinthe Green Fairy" outfit in greens, purples, and blacks.

 

@suruni I agree about the browns potentially clashing with the grey skin! I love love love my incoming doll’s faceup but a part of me worries about the brownish blond coloring with the moonlight grey resin, and I wonder if another color might have complimented her more. I found the perfect dress for my girl style wise but passed because it’s primarily beige in color and I just can’t picture it going with grey skin.

@Apocatiel that’s so exciting! I hope you share pictures, I may need to live vicariously through all of the green doll owners, I’m such a fan of it! And the elf ears paired with those little fangs *sigh* one day I’ll bring one of those green beauties home. An “absinthe green fairy” sounds just perfect for Lady Bee. I’m drawn to all the rich purples and teals to go with that green resin too. It looks like PW does such a wonderful job blushing all the fine little details on their dolls, like their ears and hands, it makes me fall for them more and more.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone!

 

My Mona arrived this week, and I’m still working on a name for her, but I am so impressed! She is going to be my ghoulish girl for sure. The only thing I was truly disappointed about was that she came with the special long nailed, blushed/painted hands… but they sent me two right hands on accident! I was so excited for those beautiful hands and they really added to that ghostly look I was going for. Denver doll is trying to contact PW to see if there’s anything that can be done, but my hopes are low since they’re in the moonlight grey color.

Anyway it’s just a quick snap I took of her the day she was unboxed, but I thought I’d share it here because I honestly can’t get enough of her and that pretty grey skin tone/ sparkly eyes/ stunning faceup. This is the wig I was really hoping she could keep, but it’s a hard cap style meant to fit minifee and it sits too high on her forehead unfortunately, so my search for the perfect wig is still ongoing!

 

@blackcat87 Wow! Your Mona is stunning, and you’re right, a ghoulish character is absolutely perfect for her! What a gorgeous skin tone.

 

Have you guys found high heels that fit the FOB girls really well? I've ordered several pairs that have turned out to be too large.
Honestly any shoes, not just high heels lol.

 

@blackcat87 She is gorgeous! I'd be surprised if Peak's Wood wasn't able to get you new hands. I've run into issues in the past where I had an urban brown girl come with some damage and they remade the body for me.

 

@PoeticSoul Thanks! I really hope I can find some time / better lighting to take more pictures of her soon. I really would love some with a ghostly theme or background! And it might help me decide on the right name for her.

@EmmiImee Thank you! That is so good to hear, I really pictured those hands as a part of her character. I’m hoping at the very least if nothing else can be done for now, that Peakswoods will let me just order the hands the next time they’re having an event with that resin option!

Since there’s been questions on here about what shoes might fit these dolls, and I haven’t gotten any yet myself, I was wondering if anyone has tried shoes from the Etsy shop MoriTime? I’ve noticed some of their shoe listings say they’re a little too loose for minifee feet without socks, so maybe they’d be just right for the FOB size. For reference Minifee feet are 5.5 cm and FOB are 5.8 so not a huge difference. The minifee shoes I own that are a perfect fit are just barely too small for my FOB.

 

She is beautiful!!
PW will have in a few days an event for their 20 aniversary and will offer moonligh grey color, you can ask them directly for the hand's mistake. Ask them with a inbox in their facebook, I do this all the time, they are very nice
sorry for my english

 

Thank you! My two right hands situation took a funny (and happy) turn. Another customer of Denver Doll emailed them because their moonlight grey doll arrived with two left hands! Peaks Woods must have gotten them mixed up. BUT me and the other customer have each mailed back one hand to DDE so we can swap them and have correct pairs. Mine should be delivered to my house in the next day or so

 

I’ve been making some little changes here and there with my Mona,
and I feel like her style is coming along nicely. I have some clothing commissions I’m waiting on that I’m very excited for. Now if only I could find her a realistic little pair of converse, but it seems like most shoes come either in minifee size or 6.5cm inner length… I’m really missing MarbleMoon shop right now!

 

@blackcat87 She’s so pretty! Love the hair and eyes combo with her moonlight gray skintone, and that outfit is so cute on her.

 

@PoeticSoul thank you! I think I got lucky with her wig. When it arrived in the mail I couldn’t believe how perfectly it matched the color of her eyes, and how well the grey streaks matched her skin tone, it feels like it was made especially for her!

 

Is anyone else planning to get one of the new vampire fairy girls? I'm planning on a V.F. Mona because I just fell head over heels! I was originally planning a Vampire Lady Bee for a DnD character but Mona just stole my heart.

 

Me too, I just can't decide which skin I want XD I have a vampire Yeru in emerald green skin, so maybe something that would go well with green heh. The vampire Mona is super pretty

 

Maybe the lavender pink skin or the pink punch? From what I can tell the emerald green skin looks a little minty, and I always find that pinks look good with minty greens!

 

I’ve been looking at the PW site all day, there’s just too many beautiful options between the resin colors, sculpts and faceup choices. I just love their colors so much! The lavender pink skin is my favorite this time around. I really want a Romi in emerald green but I don’t think that will be an option anytime soon as the green isn’t available now, and it will be in October, but PW will only be making the vampire dolls at that time. *sigh* I think I just want to bring them all home.

 

I have a hard time choosing which one to buy too. So many options and cuties.

As for Oktober event; I would not give up hope. Most of the time they offer a lot of sculpts to choose from. Not just the one from the promotional pictures, but you will have a drop down menu where you can choose which head you want. And if Romi isn't there you can ask in the Q&A if you can order her.

 

@Pyoko do you plan on getting a doll during this event? I think I might wait for the next one even though I really do like the lavender pink PW has right now. I am going to keep an eye out for Romi and I’m looking forward to seeing what else PW comes up with!

 

@blackcat87 I am getting a grey Dotty Muse with the school of rock face up
And I am considering getting a Little Lottie in lavender.

It's super hard to resist their dolls xD
At least I am mostly into the 1/4 ones, that's a bit cheaper than 1/3. Though I am hoping for the Halloween event to bring back FOC sentimentally wicked face ups
