Peak's Woods Mini Discussion Thread

katana803, Peak's Woods has a link up on their site about how to do lay-away. They are really flexible. In the past, they required a $50 down payment, and that was their minimum, but I'm not seeing this on their site now. (I know your post is a little old, and you might have found the FOF or FOC threads that are a little more active that this one.) They are a terrific company to deal with--and super sweet.

I've done lay-away a lot of times--I have a bunch of PW dolls--and usually, they don't start making the dolls till you're pretty close to paying it off. But you can order limited editions and custom face-ups as well. You name the terms--like $50 down and $50 every two weeks--whatever works for you. And they work with you. They will also pierce ears, if you like. They are awesome!

I don't have a minifee, but I have seen the normal skin of Fairyland to normal skin PW, and FL is a little deeper and creamier. As far as bodies go--I saw they they just updated the tiny body to pose better. In the summer, they also provided a new Absolute Beauty body update. I would bet that there will be an update to the FOB body coming soon as well. (I love how sturdy it is--it can stand right out of the box, and any kickiness can fixed with suede quite easily. My one complaint is that the wrists aren't as flexible as I'd like.)

You should be aware that the normal bust (for girls) is flat. Large isn't large, but fairly small.

Here's a quick shot of Mia de Butterfly. (I'm dying for a KoonieS still.)

I've posted some additional photos in the gallery:

Morimoth in DollHeart Alice 2012
Punky Beetle in Rabbit Fantasia
Mia de Butterfly in Unique
Lady Bee in Toy Clown

 

I am actually keeping a close eye on the Punky Beetle that is here at the moment, told myself if she is still there on pay day I am going to have her

 

Oh--you should totally pick her up. I saw her when she was listed before and she is so pretty! I'm actually tempted myself, but I've already got one--her face-up is just gorgeous. You can see some additional photos of my Punky Beetle boy on Flickr. He's crazy cute, and super versatile.

(Let me help, LOL!)

 

My girl got a new top today

 

Bumping this for a possibility of knowing if a minifee body will work with a PW FOB head! Reluctant to get a PW because of the body like most

 

I'm also thinking of doing a hybrid soon (when I have the money ). Did you see this thread?

 

angeldoll, we have a tan Lady Bee, too, and I adore your girl's new top! (I'll have to try a pink wig on her, too--she's super cute!) Where did you find it?

sailor, I have seen that normal skin Angel of Dream bodies are a pretty decent match to normal skin PW dolls--I have seen like three Lady Bee dolls done this way. Also, I had a normal skin PW head on a SoulDoll Soul Kid body--for an interesting look. Not great for resin match, though.

Your doll is a beauty!!!!!

 

Gorgeous, dollhoarder1! Did you get your girl from dolladdict? I was looking at her, but I have some duplicates in my collection (I have two Wake-Up Goldies) and I really do tend to be a bit of a hoarder, LOL.

 

I once found a picture of a PW FOB with hands from a Minifee. But I can't find that picture again. Do anyone have such a picture or know about one?

 

http://www.flickr.com/photos/57495325@N02/6409967533/ this is a link to another user's photo, showing the difference between resin colors, normal skin Peak's Woods, Minoru World and Minifee. The dolls are lying next to each other, however, not actually connected.

 

Omg, I can't believe the Peakswood's hand would be much bigger than the Fairyland's... Gosh their proportions seems a bit off... wish they could do smth about it... :/

 

You know, elinate, I think PW will probably be updating the FOB body this year sometime. The reason I think this is because last year they added the Absolute Beauty body (which is a double-jointed body) to the large doll line, and also a double-jointed body to the tiny doll line as well. I think the next one in line for revamp is the mini size, FOB. I personally don't feel like their hands are huge--but that's when you have them in person, and compare their hands to their faces and to their feet, or when you compare them to other company's dolls (I have a FL doll on order). I believe PW are a tiny bit shorter than FL, and PW heads are bigger--they wear a 7/8 wig, not a 6/7, so their hands ought to be a bit bigger.

Oh--I just clicked on the link I posted above--and the doll shown is a tiny sized doll (Hucky--who is a Fairy of Fairytales) on a Minoruworld body, not on a Peak's Woods body. It looks weird to me, too.

 

I really hope they'll update the FOB body soon! I'm still hoping to finally own a Lady Bee elf one day .

 

Depending on what other companies you like... I also have a larger Soom/PW hybrid, but she's a larger scale. I don't know how the posing is on the Soom mini sized bodies (I don't know anything about them), but their normal resin to PW normal is usually pretty close. Soom is a tad darker, but not too bad.

 

I have ordered two Peak's Woods, a FoB Wake Up Lady Bee, and a tiny. I'm pondering more girls/boys in the future.

 

alington,I really hope that they would, the last time I've asked them about it, they said that they would be working on the improvement of their FOB bodies.. but up till now still no news, so I hope you are right, cause I really do not like the FOB body at all, it's not really poseable, and her body is a bit huge to fit in many clothes... so cross fingers ><
