Peak's Woods Mini Discussion Thread

Random question; how is Peakswoods white and normal skin to those of other companies?
Is the white paper white or still a light skin color?

 

I'm trying to tell if the new lovely girls have elf ears or not. Because I want a girly with fantasy ears, and am trying to decide between the new Mona and romantic vampire Dotty Muse.

I'm also trying to decide which face-up I want, but that's a whole 'nother thing. The new rainbow ones are so pretty though!

 

As far as I can tell, all the recent vampire sculpts have elf ears. It's kind of hard to tell in the promo pics, but if you look real close you can see the pointy shape poking through. These 3 new girls definitely have the ears, as do the recent batch of the 3 "Dark Elves" girls.

 

Ah, yes, I was having trouble seeing in the promotional photo. They looked like they could be, but I wasn't 100% sure. I think I'll probably get Mona with the RabbitHolic face-up then! Still contemplating whether to get it in the pretty purple resin or in white. I'm weak for fantasy resin colors, but I haven't seen many girls in the Lavender pink yet!

 

@Magnus Vale I agree it looks like the new sculpts do have elf ears, but also if you look at the PW site in the FOB section under “parts” you can see all the head sculpts without faceup or wigs! I don’t think the newest heads are there yet but it might give you a better idea how they look! I wish so many of their promo pics didn’t have wigs that covered their foreheads and eyebrows, it makes it harder to choose which faceups to go with. Eyebrow shapes are important to me and blush on the forehead is always a plus.

I think I’m going to cave this time and get a vampire Dotty muse in Lavender pink… I just have to decide between the event faceup or the school of rock one. I wish I could mix pieces of both of the faceups! Hopefully I will be able to get my emerald green Romi one day, but I don’t want to miss out on the chance of getting one that’s been on my wishlist when it’s available now!

 

@blackcat87 Can confirm, I have definitely visited the heads page several times to look at sculpts! The new heads are not there yet, but I looked a bit closer at some of the promo pics on another page, and I can see a little ear tip for Mona sticking out in one of them, so I will be getting her. The more I looked at the new rainbow face ups, the more I liked them, so I'll be getting one of those (but without the stars). I'm hoping that she'll be the perfect shell for my little goddess character that I've been trying to put together (but if not, I'll love her anyway because she's adorable, haha).

I adore Dotty Muse, but they still haven't released a vampire elf version of her that's not romantic, so I'm holding out to see if that happens. I love her vampire version, so I'm praying for elf ears! If it doesn't happen in the next year or so, I'll probably spring for her regular vampire version, I just love her face. Can't wait to see your girl when she comes!

 

@Magnus Vale the new vampire Mona is so pretty! I think I would have gotten her too if I didn’t recently get her human version. It’s nice to see that they’re starting to make the vampire sculpts with the elf ears AND fully open eyes, it looks like in the past they only added those ears with the romantic versions. I would have loved a vampire Dotty muse with little pointy ears too!

 

@blackcat87 She really is! She's going to be my first Peak's Woods doll, I've been wanting one with one of their gorgeous face ups for a while! I was going to wait a little longer, but I really fell in love with Mona and the rainbow style. I hope they continue this trend with the open eyed sculpts with elf ears and fangs! The romantic ones are lovely, but they look a little too sleepy sometimes for me.

 

@Magnus Vale You must be SO excited congratulations! I hope you share her here whenever she makes it home, this thread could use some more spam and I can’t wait to see some owner pictures of the new rainbow faceups. The PW faceups are so unique and beautiful, there were 3 that I was really struggling to pick from but in the end I went with school of rock because it think it’s what made me really fall for Dotty Muse the first time I ever saw her! My girl is on a 4 month layaway so it’ll be a while before I get her.

 

@blackcat87 I really am! I definitely will share pictures of her when she arrives, it'll be a while because of the layaway for me too, but I am super pumped. I struggled myself between the new ones and the Rosemii Rabbitholic one, I adore the darker lips and white eyelashes! School of Rock Dotty Muse really is adorable, I remember loving the pictures from that set! I hope I'll be able to get an elf eared version of her in the future, I'll look forward to seeing pics of your girl when she gets here too!

 

I saw the Rainbow Fantasy face-ups and was enthralled! I'm going to buy KoonieS in normal skin with the Rainbow face-up. ^_^ KoonieS has been on my wish list - I just love her heart-shaped face and prominent, graceful chin.

The options are all so pretty that I've been shifting around my cart for a week and a half! o_O Lots of options! Lots of indecision!

I was wondering the same thing.... I wrote to PW, and they told me that it wasn't paper-white, but it was still a lot lighter than the normal skin.... Though, personally, I kinda think the normal skin is pretty light! I'd love to see a side-by-side comparison between PW white and normal!

 

Congratulations on getting KoonieS! She's such a gorgeous sculpt. I decided on V.F. Mona with the Rainbow Fantasy face-up, I thought it was too lovely to pass up.

I purchased her in white skin, and I have a FOC Tristan head in normal skin so maybe I can take some comparison photos when she arrives?

 

I did the cart shuffle dance too! In the end I had to close my eyes, hit the “complete order” button and just tell myself I that I can’t go wrong with any of them because they’re all gorgeous! Congratulations on your Koonie S! She does have a very gentle, graceful face.. I was comparing her to vampire Dotty Muse before making my order. She will look so great with that rainbow faceup.

 

I am curious what everyone here does with their doll’s hands when you’re changing their shirts. Do you keep your dolls hands on or take them off while putting the arms through restrictive or tight sleeves?

My Mona has the specialty hands with those long nails and pretty manicure/blushing. I couldn’t imagine dressing her top with those hands still attached, I’m too scared I’d scuff the paint or worse. I plan on using big safety pins to hold her elastic in place while I dress her instead of keeping her hands on. Are there any other better tricks that I haven’t thought of instead?

 

I also use the large safety pin trick when dressing my girl in tight fitting sleeves. It’s really the only safe way I’ve found to do it.

 

Hello there, gorgeous people. I don't own a PW MSD yet - YET - but I shall once I either can put up a WTB in a couple of weeks, or whenever the next preorder happens.

In the meantime I shall stare longingly at all your dolls. Especially the emerald skin ones. Especially Dotty Muse.

Don't mind me but I will also not say no to more pictures BD

 

Hi there. Long time admirer of Peakswood. I was wondering on the body proportions, do slim mini clothes/shoes fit, or more standard MSD clothes?

 

Pendragon- definitely NOT slim mini stuff, neither the shoes nor clothes will fit. PW MSDs are a bit more slender than something like a Volks MSD, but they are big gals! Here is my girl next to a Doll Leaves body that is more in line with MNF proportions. You can see that her waist sits higher, her legs are thicker, and she's generally a good few centimetres taller in general. Forgive the photo quality:

 

This comparison photo is a huge help, thank you @LittleProblem ! The listed dimensions made them seem very close but side by side PW is much thicker and taller.

I'm excited. While nothing is solidified until my payment is sent, I'm getting a PW off the marketplace.

 

Hello there! I'm looking at getting a wig for my girl, but I'm not sure if I should get a 6/7 or a 7/8. What wig sizes do you all usually use on PW's dolls?
