BlueFairy Shiny Fairy/(MW) Junior body discussion part 1

Thanks, SarahRachel, for the info regardling both the Minoru World and Luts wigs. I was wondering particularly about the Minoru World wigs but am now glad there weren't any of the Luts wigs that really suited what I was after...although it's a shame as they have such a great range in the HoneyDelf size, especially in the heat-resistant fibre range.
I'll make sure to post up plenty of pics when my Luka has his new wig. I just changed over his eyes yesterday so will try to get some photos up the way he looks at the moment.

LeChibi , so will this be your first BJD that you're planning / saving for at the moment... best of luck with your saving either way. I was in your position as of April last year so just a warning that this is one addictive hobby ...one doll (my original pukipuki pukisha) quickly became 3, then 6 (7, if you include I act as caretaker for my daughter's Pipos Dali) with number 7 currently on Layaway and what will be a custom floating head for some time in the works as well. If you have anything invested in this hobby, such as if your dolls become your photographic or artistic muse or otherwise an emotional or creative outlet in any way then it becomes seriously addictive

 

JenKat: I've got about 2/3 of the money I'll need to get Benji in savings....But art college is about to bankrupt me. I need to find a new job once I get to school. :P
The funny thing is, BJDs creeped me out until fairly recently. A few friends of mine bought their own dolls, and that's how I started getting more warmed up to them. I started looking around and found BlueFairy's website. Benjamin was really the first one I liked enough to be willing to spend money getting. I want to get at least 2; Benji and a smaller one IE a Puki or Pocketfairy. I'm having trouble deciding which one to get first, though. Why don't I have a wallet with an infinite amount of money in it..?? *sigh*
Right now, the cheapskate in me is trying to get access to the Marketplace so I can possibly adopt a pre-owned and save some money.... I still need about 20 more posts before that happens, and I need to wait about a week and a half before I get access. :P

 

LeChibi..I understand where you're coming from with Art College...even if my art college days were over a decade ago I was doing grad studies up until Easter this year so I still understannd the broke-student-syndrome side of things all tooo well. Can still only work part-time at the moment so that I can be at home with my 2 1/2 year old during the day but its so nice to have a steady income again.
I originally discovered BJDs around the late 90's - used to design, make & sell miniature teddy bears during my uni / art college days so saw a few via the dolls & bears magazines I used to collect here & there but they just didn't impress me at the time / kinda creeped me out too. However, it was last year I rediscovered BJDs when I started my grad studies... just at the time they were the least affordable for me so my first was a tax-return purchase and my second 2 were a birthday gift... my next dolls weren't bought until I recieved my tax return this year.
Believe me, we all have dreams of the magical wallet of infinite funds here at times as in life in general... especiially as it seems there are some people on this forum who do seem too be in possession of it. However, there are plenty of BJD people of average means who save, sell, scrimp, sew and do everything they can to earn their dolls the hard way, so you're in good company here on DOA

 

My Bon Voyage May has arrived!!
I named her "Poem"
She's such a cute little angel!
Love her and adore her Bon Voyage outfit!

 

Congrats Turbow!

I think our bunch will be almost ready then, too. ^_____^

 

Ohohoh!!! Turbow! Voyage May is really CUTE! She must be more beautiful IRL!! Please post more pictures of her in the future! (I am now so tempted to add a SF May into my "will buy list" though I have decided not to add anymore into it forever!!!)

 

Congratulations, Turbow. She's adorable, I love her outfit.

 

There's going to be new shiny fairies Paul and Andy X3

 

Andy is adorable! Like a little pouty mini-Kyle! I can't wait to see what Paul will be like!

 

Wow. Lovely photos!

Looks even better than Blue Fairy's promo shots! Stylish. ^_^

 

Paul is a mini Denis?! So cuteeeeee

 

Aww~~ Paul and Andy are both too adorable!! Especially Paul!! I've always been partial to girl Denis (Dei?), but now that he is chibi-sized, I might have to get him as a boy too! XD

Anyway, it's awesome to see more SFs from Blue Fairy! Now that the ratio of SF boys to girls is 3:2, I wonder if they will come up with a third girl sculpt and who would it be? ^^

 

Bonberry
I would love to see a baby Olive! XD

 

turbow, I agree! A chibi Olive would be very cute!!

 

turbow, oo your Poem is soo cute little girl! ^^ Huge congratulations! WIshing for more pictures~

I think I like Paul (mini-Denis) more as a girl.. tough he is quite lovely as a boy too. ^^ I'm not a big fan of Andy (mini-Patrick) at the moment. I'm sure I'll someday have all the Shinies, Tinies and few Pocket. -_-'

 

Bluefairy said that these new dolls are much cuter IRL. When I get some in to the shop, we'll be sure to take some more photos of these 2 boys.

I agree Xaya, Paul is most cute as a girl! I think if I like Andy when I see him, I might keep him around though. Kind of like his expression. We shall see! It'll be my first own SF if so (apart from Xyn has a May), which I do think of fondly. ^__^

 

I want to see their pictures,SarahRachel!!

I wonder how much difference would Paul and mini Olive have.....Paul's mouth is not bending as much as Denis but is bending more than Olive *______* I really hope mini Olive will keep as much as Olive got

 

I am guessing there will be a mini Olive eventually. I mean, May and Olive are the two single most popular sculpts ever. Since they made May, they should make an Olive.

But ooh. Paul is very cute. I almost wish he/she is a bit grumpier and like the actual Denis.
Hm.. Not a big fan of Andy, probably because I wasn't a big fan of Patrick >.>

 

Jumping on board! I'm going to hang out, want to see some more pictures of this new mini-patrick/kyle (his eyes seem too closed to be patrick, but not curvy enought to be kyle....but the mouth is more frowny than kyle...)

I just love how stumpy the BF promo pics make thier shiny fairy's look. *isweird*

 

Aww man! Now I have to decide between a Shiny Fairy or a Tiny Fairy Dennis girl! D: Hahaha, man! So cute! 33

 

xaya, Somehow I don't doubt what you said about your owning all of the Shinies, Tinies, and Pockets someday! *imagines the family portrait* XD

SarahRachel, Ooh, I'll look forward to your real-life pics of these two new Shinies!

skyealloway, Me too! I adore how stumpy the Shinies look in the promos! Must be a visual trick of those loose sweaters and tall boots! ;D I just squee every time I spot their little hands peeking out from underneath the long sleeves of the school uniform! Weird, I know! XD

bronzephoenix, Get both~~~ they can be sisters!!

 

Bonberry, haha, that's not surprise for anyone is it.

SarahRachel, I wait also the pics from these two. ^^ I think the promo pics sometimes don't do the justice for the molds, and I think they do need a change of eyes too...

bronzephoenix, agreeing with bonberry, get both! 8D Double the cuteness!

 

After months of trying, I've finally nailed my girl's style and find her really adorable now.

 

thaelia, your little May is adorable. ^^ I agree!

 

With these new additions Paul has completly replaced Benjamin for my attention. And who knew cause i've never been a fan of the Denis (adult Paul) mold. I'm so glad they came out with more boys. I didn't expect Andy (aka Patrick) to be made though.

 

Well, pardon the belatedness of this photo and the very bad flash photography (every time I get time out to take pictures outside lately it rains) but I wanted to post up a picture of Luka, my little SF May boy. I gave his default wig a little trim and style & it suits him a little better now, I think.

Ooo... I didn't know about the new Shinies. Paul is cute both as a girl and a boy & Andy's cute too...gotta love those BBF Squinties! Hmmm... maybe Luka could use some friends. Maybe not for a while though. I was already thinking my next BF purchase would be another set of siblings... TF Sarang & SF Hana girls.

 

I finally found the wig color that look best on BV May!!
I had tried so many colors and companies, from Bluefairy ash blonde, Dollga eve cream, choco brown, black, peach pink, and RosenLied blond, cream, pink, but she looks best wearing RosenLied orange blond!
I also tried BambiCrony carrot on her and she looks adorable in this color too, but too bad that wig was MSD size.
I personally think all May molds (with Bluefairy default face up) look best wearing orange/reddish tone wigs, coz it enhance the complexions.

Here is my Poem wearing RosenLied orange blond.

 

Turbow,what a gorgeous colour...and it does suit her beautifully! Yes, I have to admit, the paler blonde coloured wigs seem to disapear a little next to May's lovely soft resin-complexion and lighter face-up.

 

Aw, Jen your May bou is really adorable guy!

And here you go some Benjamin spam, as he is a rare thing here~

Here we go, my Benji (Yes, he has the same name), being cutie pie.

 

Oh dear, between everyone's lovely Shiny Fairy spam and the two new Junior Fairy molds, my wallet is going to be very empty, indeed.

Turbow, your Poem is just too gorgeous!! And Tenaku, I want to buy your Benji all the ice cream and toys he wants~!

Please keep spamming!!

 

Turbow makes me want to be a better photographer and hug all her dollies Too bad Yo size is too hard to hug .

Tenaku - your Ben is so cute. I like that you kept the name i'm always tempted to do that with dolls.

 

Peppermintsheep, thanks! I think if you buy him what he wants he became very naughty boy I'll keep spamming in future)
silentstardust Thanks! I always trying to figure the original name for my dolls, but this name is the best for my taste!

 

New look for May!

 

Agh all these cute Shinies! ^^ I'm so happy to see all of them. I should also make my boy some more clothes. ^^

 

aw so cute X3

 

So.. I picked up my May today from the post office! She is such a cutie pie, I just want to eat her up! OwO
Unfortunately, she now has a borrowed eyes, -clothes, (msd)wig.. Let's hope that I win the lottery so she could have something of her own.

 

Uh oh, is there not enough love for Shinyfairys?

.. Here, lets all look at this picture and say awww ..

 

Awwwww! X3 I love the Shiny Fairies, but for now, I just have to bask in the cuteness of other people's pictures.

Keep 'em coming, kerberos!!

 

kerberos, she's wonderful! I just "found" shiny fairies and I can't stop looking at them.

 

Peppermintsheep, your wish is my command!

 

Ahhh, she's so tiny and cute! I think I'm going to have put off getting the two Juniors I was planning on, and go for the two Shinies I was also planning on! (Now if only I'd win the lotto!)

So many cuties, so little funds!

 

My G Ben looks very mature in this picture lol

 

eatingsmile: She looks like a mermaid!

And you're right, she does look mature! If this weren't in the Shiny Fairy thread, I wouldn't even think she was so tiny!!

 

oh goodness eatingsmile!
She does look super mature. I thought it was a different doll when I saw the pictures!

 

She is stunning eatingsmile! At first I didnt even recognise that she was a shinyfairy


'' Is dat a fishie or a girl?''

 

kerberos your girl is super cute! Makes me want one of my own! So please spam more

Everyone owning these cuties should spam!

 

I agree!
I have subscribed to this thread so I won't miss anything. They are adorable, and I'm seriously thinking about getting one...

 

I've just come across these dolls and think they are gorgeous. I'm also rather excited about being able to purchase one inside the UK rather than from abroad and face the dreaded custom fees. I love May and KLeila! I was slightly confused by the double references to blue fairy - are Minrou a separate company to Blue Fairy? I wasn't sure as they both have shiny fairy moulds.

Does anyone know how the compare with bambicronys? I have a BC girl already and would like them to be able to work alongside each other.

 

Minoru dolls are seperate from Bluefairy but Minoru World sell BF dolls (a Minoru artist / sculptor used to work for Bluefairy, as far as I'd heard ... least that was how I understood it. It could have been the other way around. Anyone else have something to contribute / correct there?)

The two companies have colaborated together on a number of limited dolls. ( see http://www.abjds.com/forum/showthread.php?t=841 )

As fasr as Bambicronys go for size compared to Shiny Fairies, I'm not sure.

 

Here ya go:

 

I think Minoru World recently came into ownership of Blue Fairy. It happened back when the BF site closed for a while. I could be wrong, but I believe that is what happened

 

Thank you everyone for the explanation and clochette for the comparison photo.

 

''Where are all the others?''

 

Little Poem comes to greet everyone again






SF May triplets.
Rhythm & Poem & Lyric.
(Sorry about the weird colors. It was taken and processed with an iPhone app.)

 

Oh my, Poem is so adorable!! *w* And that little camera prop is so cute :3
I wish I had some great props for my May..

 

I love your Poem, Turbow! And that shot with her sisters is adorable! The "weird" colors look fine~!


EDIT: No posts in five days?? D: I have sort of a request for the Shiny Fairy owners out there! Carolyn.S has put together a Tiny Size Chart (see it here: http://www.denofangels.com/forums/s...-dolls-are-missing&highlight=tiny+spreadsheet), and she has Pocket Fairies and Junior Fairies, but no Shiny Fairies! If anyone on this board has a little tape measure and some time, perhaps you could measure your Shiny and post its specs for the Official Database?? Thanks!

 

I came here today and expected to find many pages of spammage and discussion.. I am now confused!
Peppermintsheep, if I have time today, I can take the measurements ^w^

And my little girl still has no name! I'm feeling bad for her.. At least she has her teddybear..


'' Peek-a-boo? ''

 

May is such an elegant looking tiny sculpt! I am sooooo tempted to get one, especially after seeing all the May spamming here.....
