They are very cute, but I'm glad I didn't have an instant feeling of must have. I think I need to think about them more. I'm a bit tempted to think about May or Hana, but... mmm.. must think some more. ^^
That little Voyage May has me.. if only I could find the cash! Maybe someone buys my Beyla before they sell out?!
Guess what....I've just adopted out my Rhythm to a friend for Bon Voyage May!! >"< Bye bye my sweet little Rhythm...at least she will live with a good friend of mine.
Aw. Luckily it's a good friend of yours. Rhythm looks sweet and I'll find it hard to part with her. ><
Aww bye bye Rhythm . Well I know you'll take wonderful pictures of Bon Voyage May. Anyone else a fan of the TFs think we may get a May V. Shiny Fairy? One can only wish
I ordered Voyage May already! OMG!! Can't wait to see her soon!! Who else is going to have Bon Voyage SFs here?
Aw, bye bye Rhythm. Is she being reincarnated as BV May or gonna be a different name? silentstardust, I think an SF May Valentine would be really popular...!
SarahRachael Voyage May will have a different name. My friend who adopted Rhythm will still keep her name as Rhythm and I will get to see her from time to time
turbow, I'm eagerly waiting what cute will you make from the white SF May. ^^ She'll be as adorable as Rhythm, I'm sure. Great that you'll be able to see her too! I didn't buy any of the Bon Voyage sets this time. I'm sure I'll get the right SF girl for me someday. May V would be soooo cute. I'd vote for her! ;D
xaya : Aww hope you'll find the right SF soon!! But I hope I won't coz I have decided not to have more Yo-SD size doll. This size is never the right size for me but I really couldn't pass SF May!! She's way too cute to not have! X3
turbow, I did! I have layaway on Benjamin second hand, I'm so glad I snatched him even before my friend even got to our forums market place. But I want to have more, since the girls are very cute too, just waiting for the perfect set and mold. ^^ May is so cute, I have a TF May and I find that mold very charming in any colour of resin there is. ^^
Bluefairy released choice special versions of the SFs. I'm updating http://angeldolls.co.uk/ to reflect the changes now. Benjamin girl is my favourite, I think...
May boy >< I've always wanted a TF version but now there's an SF version, hard decision xD The hana boy looks cute too.
I really want to buy May but I don't know were to buy here here -> http://www.bluefairyint.com/shop/step1.php?number=648 or here -> http://angeldolls.co.uk/choicemay.html Do any of you know if ones better than the other, regarding S&H, or something else? All I know is that the UK site is cheaper
I'm not sure how much Bluefairy charge for shipping to US, but we charge £19 (we don't charge handling). If you have any other questions, let me know & I'll see if I can help. You are planning on naming her Naomi? (checking out your signature). That's a cute name.
Yes I am c: Thank you! BlueFairy costs $49.. Would you happen to know about how many days It takes to arrive to the US? (AngelDoll) Thank you! c:
Bluefairy can be pretty darned quick too, but I've had mixed experiences with them. Angeldolls has them in stock I believe so you'd get her right away!
Hay, just wanted to let everyone know we are getting in a few of Bluefairy's cancelled Bon Voyage Limited sets. I'm placing an order for some more BF stock today, so if there is a particular one you want, let us know & we will include it so you don't miss out!
I didn't think of it that way! I thought they had some people cancel their orders, so were just offering dealers these spare sets. I think they might not be re-releasing them on the BF site themselves (or if they are, not for awhile).
I'm getting Benjamin next week! ^^ Just paid the rest of the layaway this morning. I'm exited about my little Nikolas. OuO
Oh, so lonely, I guess I'm just talking with myself here now. ^^; Well I got my Benjamin today and I'm really happy. ^^ He has these big hands and he is a cutie. ^^ I took some box opening pictures but I need to resize them before I can do anything.
Ah, I am listening! And can't wait to see box opening. Was thinking he would be arriving with you soon. Hope you love him!
Sarah, and everybody who is interested to see the Box Opening, here is the link for it. ^^ Shinyfairy Box opening is shiny. I do love that little boy. ^-^ I'm sure I'll get some more SF's in the future.
Ahhh how exciting xaya. I just paid off my Benjamin on layaway last night, and I think he's shipping out today! He is so adorable and I can't wait to play with his adorable little face.
Can't wait to see more little SF dears around the board. :3 My Hana, Koume, with her new pet friend, a mini Kuma from the latest edition of Dollybird.
Your Koume is adorably cute with those eyes looking up! Now you've got me wanting to hunt down the latest Dollybird edition because of that cute mini kuma.
reggie: Thank you! X3 Hee, it's volume 14. A glorious book on Alice in Wonderland! skwerlie: Thank you so much~ X3 Yes, she has the standard BF faceup. I love the way they painted her little mouth.
yoake, your Koume is adorable little girl. ^^ Here is a picture from my Nikolas. ^^ He is a cute little boy.
Here's a picture of my Benjamin, Christoffer. I will probably end up re-doing his faceup... or at least parts of it.
xaya: Nikolas looks adorable! He has such an innocent gaze and I like the way you posed him! timchener: What a manly boy he is! Love his cute black ruffled hair~
Ah! I was wondering when they'd get around to making a 27cm doll! I'm glad they finally did, I think they are fabulous!
I have a BF SF May boy and I'm really not that fond of either the style (nothing like the company photos) or fit (covers the top of his ears) of his default wig. Does anyone have any recommendations for which wigs fit Shinyfairies well? He's a gorgeous little boy, I just don't like his wig.
Alright, I have a couple of Shiny Fairy-related questions. I'm considering buying an SF Benjamin sometime in the near future (To be my first doll). Firstly, how flexible are they? A friend of mine has a doll that's slightly bigger, but she wasn't very flexible, which bugged me. I know you can do sueding or whatever it's called to make them hold positions better, but I'd rather not have to do something like that. (I don't trust myself to do a good job...) Secondly, how portable are they? (Weird question, I know...) I'd like to be able to carry the doll around easily. Like, in my purse or something. That way it would make outings easier. :3 The reason I ask this is because I'm caught between two sculpts: Benjamin and a PukiPuki Cupid. From what I've seen, the Pukis are very flexible and very portable (people apparently carry them around in eyeglass cases??), and are less expensive. (The basic Cupid is around $150, while the basic Benjamin is $230.) However, I like the way that Benjamin looks over Cupid. So I'm torn. Any help would be appreciated!
LeChibi 1. No, all of Bluefairy dolls are not flexible since they are single-jointed but I found them great at sitting and standing straight if they're well strung. Tho, all of them have such adorable faces and BF's resin is very smooth and has beautiful color. 2. No, they are not that portable as PukiPuki. Shiny Fairy is 27 cm tall and won't fit in a purse. But can fit in an oversized hand bag. Hope this helps you get the picture. The biggest girl in this pic is Shiny Fairy May. The two tiny boy and girl there are Pocket Fairies which are slightly bigger (3 cm taller) than PukiPuki.
LeChibi - I would have to second what Turbow has said. When comparing a ShinyFairy with an FL PukiPuki (and I have one of each) the PukiPuki would win for flexibility due to their double joints and portability simply as far as size and weight are concerned. Howevver, their smaller magnetic parts such as their hands and feet are a little more fragile and might be more easily fall-off and be lost in a handbag if you're not careful, whereas all ShinyFairy parts are strung on with elastic. In the end it comes down to a matter of aesthetic preference - and personally I love all of BFs ShinyFairy sculpts and FLs PukiPukis... they are all little resin cuties in their own right.
Stilll hoping someone might help me with my wig dilema - anyone have a non-BF wig on their ShinyFairy?
Oh, right! I was meaning to answer you also but somehow forgot. Sorry! So far I have had my ex-SF May wore wigs from LeekeWorld Dollga and RosenLied Tuesday's child, and she could wear them beautifully And my friend have had her SF May wore wigs from Luts and they fit also.
Thank you, turbow. So the Leekeworld 6-6.5 wigs are a good fit? Wonderful! They have one of the best ranges in that size too. So with regards to the Luts wigs, though, is that the Honey Delf size wigs that fit, if you mind me asking? Thank you so much
Wonderful, thank you so much turbow. I think I will try a Leekeworld W111_D in Eve-cream then to see how that goes then. ~ >-< Thank you
Man, if they made a pocket fairy Benjamin my life would be complete. DX Would sueding help improve his flexibility at all? Or at least help hold poses better? (sorry for all the weird questions, I'm still a newbie to all this stuff. XD)
JenKat, sounds like you have made up your mind on Leeke wigs (must post pics!) but for anyone else interested I find the Minoru World Junior Fairy wigs fit them nicely too, actually. Worth checking out the Fairyland LittleFee ones too, they also work well. I've been planning to upload pics here. Also, just a note, but I found Luts Honey Delf wigs didn't fit too good, but maybe I was just unlucky. I really like the Luts ones, so Turbow, you have given me hope to try again! LeChibi, I haven't tried it myself, but wiring is supposed to help on BF dolls. They don't pose as well as Fairyland dolls ( I did a review here if it's of any use to you > http://angeldolls.co.uk/blog/?p=587 ) but they are lovely quality & have extremely cute molds. Haven't you seen any Pocket Fairies you like then? I think they pose pretty well actually (compared to SF & TFs) & if you are looking for a very small doll then that's the way to go maybe...or have you just fallen in love with Benjie? ^_~
SarahRachel: wiring? Seems to ring a bell. I'll need to find a tutorial for that. *searches* anyways, I considered the Pocket Fairies, but for some reason they don't show pictures on the BlueFairy website? On my computer, anyways. And I haven't done any real digging to find pics around DoA. I LOVE Benji (I think I'm going to use that name from now on...), especially the face and skin tone. I fell in love the second I saw his face on the BF website. XD But the reason I'd like to get a Puki or Pocket Fairy is because of the sheer portability. I love the idea that I can just keep one in my purse, and whip him/her out whenever I want for a quick photo-op. If I get Benji (and I will, eventually), I'd use them to make outfits for/photograph. I'd like to get both Benji and a smaller one eventually, what I'm trying to decide which one to get first. Especially since I'm in a weird financial situation right now (college). Oh well, I've got plenty of time to decide. The earliest I can probably buy a doll will be around Christmas. :/
