Peak's Woods Mini Discussion Thread

Hi everyone, thread newbie here. I'm really interested in Punky Beetle, Mori Moth and a Rabbit Goon boy but as a photographer posing is a huge consideration for me and some of what I've read has put me off a little bit, so I was very happy to see they sell just heads but I was wondering about resin matches - I'm not bothered if its normal or white skin, I'm happy to order whichever I can get a pretty good match for although body-wise my preferences would be Luts or Dollzone as I know both are great posers (and I can get them pretty easily). Thanks in advance for any help

 

Bumping this thread for kicks. It needs one! ha! Pretty dollies. Maybe I would get one someday.

 

@FrozenRose: there are threads and threads of people asking for PW resin matches... there is some information on that and the poseability of the bodies in the FOC discussion threads, so you should check that out, and maybe do a general search of the topic. I don't own one myself, or I'd compare it to my army of Luts KDFs. I'm going to order a Vampire Hucky in WS this summer, and then I'll take a bunch of comparison shots.

 

im a fan of PW's bjd! too bad... so few male i can find...... im waiting for the new male one then~ XD

though Lady Of Spider is kinda attracted me >.<

 

Hi rendroid. It is just a thought, but so many of the PW's boys make nice girls so why not try a girl as a boy? I know Segi started out as a boy, and Punky Beetle and Pop Moth are boys, too. So try one of them maybe? Or maybe one of the girls that you think would be a nice boy. Oh, and I have seen that some people put a FOC head on a FOB body so you could do a Segi as a boy that way. I just got my first PW a Goldie. She is absolutely gorgeous. I would like to get a mini PW, too. Leaning toward a Lady Bee elf version.

 

My FOB girl arrived a week ago~



She's wake up Lady bee with lovely small elf ears I did her faceup myself to match with my Soom Gluino, her father.

 

Oh wow! She is beautiful Adawolf!!!! And I love the faceup! Great job

 

Hi everyone. I am really in love with peakswoods koonies but I am a little unsure of there bodys. What do you guys think of there bodys? love or hate? and if hate what bodys do you like better?

Thanks so much ahead of time ^_^

 

I'm in the same situation... I love love love the Lady Bee elf sculpt, but I'm unsure about the bodies. Actually I'm thinking about making a hybrid of a FOB Lady Bee head and a Minifee body. I heard the WS resin matches quite well, but it's quite expensive... $120 for the head and $365 for a MNF body plus shipping for both... ~ $550 . I'm certain that there a quite a few FOB lovers out there who are reluctant to order, because of the bodies. When they were released, the FOB bodies were okay, but now the standards for Minis have raised to another posability level (Fairyland, Luts etc.). I can't understand why Peakswoods are still clinging to their old FOB bodies.

 

Bumping this tread up
Still looking for peoples opnions of the bodys ^__^

 

I am a first-time FOB owner as of yesterday. I own/have owned dolls from a great variety of companies (Volks, CP, Angel Region, Custom House, Blue Fairy, Dollmore, Dream of Doll, etc.) and I must say I was impressed with my little FOB's resin quality (nicely matte, not "plasticky" like with some brands) and standing ability. I believe my FOB was made in 2003 and although his posing is a wee bit stiff (and his wrist movement is limited), I am happy with it and his legs are solid when he stands.

Here's a photo of Diodore, a Pop Moth.



I'm so charmed with PW, I may have to get that Segi I've long wanted!

 

My FOB Mia De Butterfly has arrived! She so gorgeous!

I keep flip floping back and forth on weather Im going to do a layaway with them or not but that body is such a stumble >.<

Nikittin-- your Pop moth has such a good look his wig and eyes are so cute withhis face ^^ He looks a little like a hucky

 

So sweet boys and girls here! Rhapsodia'd like to join again

Thanks for sharing the picture! I just love the Lady Bee sculpt and I wish I would find the guts to order her . But I only have tiny dolls and I am afraid she might not fit in.

 

Lady bee is lovely. She was a but of an impulse buy at the time. She kept following me around. Lol have you ever held any bigger dolls?

 

Yes, I once had a Luts Kid Delf Aru, but I've sold her because I felt that she was too big for me. I didn't know how to pose her legs and arms properly (maybe she was too loose) and I didn't like the Kid Delf elbow joints.
I'm still hesitating about ordering a Lady Bee, because I'm not too fond of the PW body.

 

Im not fond of the PW mini body either... my girl is on an Angel Region girl body. which i love much more and is a good match.

 

hi
i'm new to world of bjd collecting and i'm in love with the peakswood girls. of my top 20 list i have 5 from peakswood. the two in this category is the mia de butterfly and wake up lady bee. once my 2 layaways from summer promotionals sales are done, my next girl is gonna be a peakswood girl. i just love their faces. i did understand that they are sized similiar to a minifee, correct? my final question is how does their white compare say to a minifee

Saraqael you said you have bought from them off their site and i have a questions if you can. i know they have a layaway policy but i have not been able to figure out how it works. would you anything about that.
