Peakswoods Fairies of Colors Discussion PART VIII

Yeah, they didn't say it was going away permanently, but they sounded like they're trying to phase out its use every release and aren't sure when it will be around or not.

And then they told me "the website doesn't allow them so many options" when they've very clearly had the heads and the discount at the same time in the past... always. So, that felt bad.

But I told them as well that it was SUPER unclear in their notices. But happy to know other people are saying something. I hope they change it and let us use it in the future. Halloween is the favorite event of most of us, I feel, so it just sucks they took it away for this one. Who knows which it'll be open to in the future, especially since I don't collect their 1/4. So the "sometimes" thing doesn't make a lot of sense and is super open. Either way, I'm still pretty upset. I'm not trying to slam them - they're one of my fav companies - but I'm still upset.

 

Yeah, they should at least make sure to make it clear it can't be used in their notices.
I kind of hope the negative backlash might make them reconsider removing the discount. Like probably not never removing it, but at least doing it less than they planned

 

I'm interested in a few of the FOC vampire/monster heads but I've decided against picking one up right now. I'm not sure if they're limited or will get brought up again in the future? Am I going to find something next year?
First time I see Peakswoods and I really love the sculpting style.

Oh also is their white a pinkish white or an ivory-yellowish kind of white?

 

If you like one of the make ups offered it's best to order now because they not always get re-released.
If it's just about the head sculpts then waiting for next year is no problem. Just be aware they only have orders open I think ~4x /year. And they change between their 1/3 and 1/4 ones too. So it might be some till till you can order again. (best to follow them on Instagram, they always post when they open orders)

The white is more yellowish ivory. I really like it. When I unboxed my girl it almost had an underlying glow to it.
I uploaded some pictures for you, I hope the link works.

 

@Pyoko oh my goodness what a gorgeous doll!
This one is stunning also!
I was interested in just a head for a hybrid (actually Gumiho Miro!) but if that's the quality I might get a full doll...

 

Thank you.
The one you linked is one of their 1/4 ones. I have quite a few peakswoods dolls. I think I could make a quick Flickr collection with them if you like to see?
My favorite color is their emerald green skintone.
I think their bodies are nice. I like how they look and they can do what I expect from bodies (double jointed arms and legs, hands can touch face, can sit and stand, has mobility joint on thighs). I guess if you are looking for super high mobility or cheaper bodies hybriding is a possibility too. I don't know about color matches though.

 

@Pyoko their resin colors are amazing! I don't normally pay attention to non-standard colors but they have such lovely shades.
The hybrid idea was with a Doll Chateau Youth body - from what I gathered, Peakswoods heads are on the smaller side of SD, so they would do well on DC. But I think this company is growing on me! The faceups are incredible.
If you have more photos I'd appreciate them! I'm sure everyone in the thread would.

 

I made folders for my peakswoods pictures on Flickr, not all are exactly good pictures but I hope people like to browse anyway:
1/4 girls
1/3 girls

I own more of the 1/4 ones though. Please be aware I adjusted some of the face ups slightly. (I like to enhance the smiles a bit more, peakswoods face ups tend to look a bit sad)

 

@Pyoko lovely collection. I can see your touchups now and I would've never been able to tell otherwise!
I'm definitely keeping an eye on this company... I'm going to end up with two vampires in the house

 

My Mimi crow blue arrived . She needs clothes and a wig but she is gorgeous!



I've also compiled some resin comparisons with some of my existing dolls

Spam...

 

I held off on the last FOC release (and regretted it a bit) and finally went for it this time!
I ordered Goldie the dark elf in white, with Ladybee's make up, and special nail parts with the French tips.

I lost my mind and ordered a BOY as well- I got Han in Urban Brown with Dohwa's makeup! I was tempted to get the monster nails, but I got long nails parts instead.
My friend ordered Dohwa, so I'm excited to sit there and admire him XD

They'll be my very first 1/3 sized dolls!
Now I need to find/make clothing for them

 

These dolls are so gorgeous! I'm in love with all the vampires!

 

That's a great choice . I also ordered an urban brown doll, vampire lady bee. The urban brown resin is really beautiful

 

I'm getting my Hunky Dory back from the faceup artist soon, but I was wondering if anyone knows what eye size works best with her?

 

You know what? I wasn't sure if I would like Mimi Crow from the promo photos, but she looks great. Congrats.

 

My new outfit for mimi crow blue:

 

@EmmiImee - Oh wow, she is gorgeous and that dress looks so complimentary on her blue skin. I'm looking forward to your incoming urban brown Lady Bee too!

 

She’s more then cute, she’s adorable! ❤️

She’s very pretty, her dress is perfect for her!

I adore her, she’s very pretty altogether and has such a pretty face! ❤️

Hello, just wanted to add my girls Red and Rosemii, here, it’s Friday night and I’m bored! LoL
