Peakswoods Fairies of Colors Discussion PART VIII

Did anyone get their Han? I did not order him but I would love to see photos! Also curious if anyone ordered Daze, I think I may want to get him during the next ordering period.

 

I have received my Han some months ago! Sadly I've not yet finished his faceup, he's still a WIP, but the plan is to do it before the end of the month.
And here is my Shen Jiu in all his unfinished glory

 

I do not bring a Han, but I do bring my freshly put together vampire Red, now that she has a faceup, a body and I finished blushing her hands. She is on a Maskcat body (I wanted something a little more in the vein of a classic SD13 for her, plus I just loved how delicate the body looked) and I can safely say that the color match between PW and Maskcat white is basically perfect! Her name is Lottie.

Spoiler: More pics!

 

She's wonderful! I love the gothic makeup and her tilted eyes

 

She looks beautiful. Her shoes are so cute!

 

DDE just got a bunch of FOCs in stock! I'm mildly tempted by Gumiho Miro, but I think I'm safe for now since I want the character in darker grey skin.

 

Omg they have a vampire mona...soooo tempted!

 

My layaway for Miro Blossom and Hon is almost finished and in the meantime I'm doing some shopping for them, so I wanted to ask (and I'm really sorry if it has already been asked and I didn't manage to catch it): which size of wig do the girls of this line fit in cm?
On the PW site it sais 8/9 inches, but it can go from 20 to 23 cm and I'm unsure about what to get for them.

 

I am super super tempted by the DDE stock but PW also has their FOB sale going on and I have to get a FOC body for the free Lemon Blue head they sent me earlier this year *dolly want problems everywhere*

 

@karlyl Same thing here! I got a Hunky Dory head earlier this year and now I need to save for a body. PW makes their dolls so hard to resist, though.

 

@ViperOrchid they really, really are hard to resist haha

Some doll pic tax -- I painted my Lemon yay! Here she is with my Red.

 

Hello everyone! I recently have taken an interest into Peak's woods dolls and I have a few questions.

1)I've only had Volks dolls and one of my old white resin dolls turned yellow-green eventually even when keeping her out of the sun. I'm curious for anyone who has the FOC girls in other skin colors (particularly gray), how does the resin hold up? My tan dolls pretty much look the same since I got them.
2) Is there any company who makes clothes that fit FOC well? I understand Volks is a little big on them.
3)I understand after reading this thread that the next FOC order is usually around Halloween and the FOB order is now. Do they only release each type of doll once a year or are there multiple times? Edit: Found this answer

Thank you

 

@cakeinversailles I bought my Blue Gray Tristan secondhand in 2016. Though I don't remember what year he was made, I've had him for six years now have not noticed any yellowing or fading! He is kept inside a glass cabinet in a somewhat dark room, and has probably gotten a little bit of indirect light.

 

All of my PW girls wear 8/9 wigs

 

That's nice to know in case I get a gray. Thanks so much! I wonder if anyone has insight on their white skin dolls. They look pinkish, I wonder if they yellow less?

@cakeinversailles I actually have a white skin one, too. I ordered him in 2014, and yes, the white skin has a pink underdone to begin with. Despite being in the same conditions as my Tristan, the white resin has discolored over time, though I wouldn't say "yellowed" in the sense of becoming more yellow... but instead, the pink faded. So now it has a kind of peachy undertone. I hope that makes sense! It has certainly aged better than other white skin dolls I have.

 

Ou that is so good to know that the white resin holds up a bit better than most dolls. That neon green was disappointing for me. Thank you for the information

 

@xyuemoto beautiful doll! Love the ears.

@cakeinversailles my Peakswood dolls are very old, and I don't think they use the same colors anymore. I have a 2008 that was white skin, and like overlordu said, it's like the undertones have faded over time so there is no pink in it now. I have a normal one made I think in 2015 and it's color appears the same normal tone, just paler. Of course now Peakswood offers so many more colors, and overall color formulas are more stable than they used to be. You should pick the color that you like best!

All Dollheart brand clothes fit Peakswood girls very well (or at least they used to, mine are very old)

 

@skyealloway - Thanks.
