FairyLand Fairy Line Mini discussion part 6

@Littlebirdzoom Congrats on your dragon! I think he’s amazing. I really like how sleek he looks in his fullset.

I’m confused why they aren’t doing violet either. I thought maybe it was blushing, but it sure doesn’t look like it.

 

I'm really tempted by him! I already have a fullset Altis (he's amazing, I love his legs so much!) and really liked the look of the realfee dragons when they came out, so very much considering putting this one on layaway ^^ If I cave I'll probably get a blank Erda with white dragon parts, though like you guys above I would have loved the violet as well :'c And my Altis has white legs too, but at least white is a good base for customising when the time comes! I've been thinking about dyeing his hooves dark grey - anyone have any experience unstringing (partially or fully) the faun legs?

Curious to know what the Nanuri head will look like, too! When do they usually release pics, is it kept as surprise until it arrives or do they show it off later? (Still new to fairyland's way of doing things, Altis was my first from them!)

Can't wait to see an army of dragons here!!

 

I have fullset Erda and am sooo tempted by little Erda dragon! Normal skin boy with white suits me so I can paint his beastly parts how I like. I don't have any minifees or puki or fairyline. a bit confused which is which. Fairyline is different from minifee?
I'm very curious about the vampire sleep head they send as a gift. I have so many gift heads, and there will be the Nanuri as well. (sitting unpainted in my parts cupboard.)
Where did they talk about violet resin? Oh, well, not what I see for my guy.
What clothes fit fairyline boys? slim msd? I wish he were coming with shoes instead of tall boots. so difficult to find everyday footwear for odd-sized dolls.

 

@petiteballerine Fairyline and Minifee are pretty much the same size and appearance wise, the main difference is that Fairyline is engineered to easily swap out fantasy parts - they're strung to detach at the hips (and the female bodies have a complicated inner torso piece so you can swap arms and bust pieces). Most heads, hands, magnet feet/shoes etc are interchangeable between MNF and Fairyline, but MNF bodies can't use Fairyline fantasy parts like the Erda dragon legs or Sia arms. The male Fairyline body looks essentially the same as the MNF Motion Line, with some differences in the knee and thigh joints (and how it comes apart to use the fantasy parts). /end lecture, I think that's most of the important stuff but let me know if I missed anything you were wondering.

The promo pics of Erda look like they used the grey-violet resin they offered for the Altis faun parts for the Erda dragon legs, but that isn't listed as an option to purchase this time, which seems kind of odd. It's a fun color! I like it because I'm terrible at painting parts and it only needed minimal work ^^; but white would be more versatile.

Yeah, generally slim MSD is the size for both MNF and Fairyline. I definitely feel you about the shoes; imo one of the best things about fantasy feet/legs is not having to worry about footwear, haha. I wish they had images up of the gift heads! Usually they do sometime during the events, hopefully soon. I'm tempted too but I'd really like to know if I'd prefer to use the vampire gift head as his main head, so I could skip the sleeping head/makeup...

 

thank you so much, @Cennie . you answered my questions. wow, the violet is gorgeous.

 

I also ordered an Erda dragon!~ I haven't had a Minifee/Fairyline in a while and though I did really want to get more someday I wasn't planning to so soon...but dragons are my ultimate weakness! I have been hoping for a dragon since the very first Fairyline was released! I just couldn't pass him up~ I'm so excited!

I got mine in all white skin. I'm considering dyeing him a light mint green as its my favorite color and i've been saving it for a super special doll, but i'm also really loving the idea of keeping him white for a shiny opal/iridescent "Seath the Scaleless" sort of look haha~ I don't think I would have gotten him with the violet dragon parts even if they offered them, but it is a bit cruel of them to advertise it and not offer it. I'm probably not going to stick with the Erda head for him, I think there are other Minifee head sculpts I'd prefer, but he is very cute. I wonder if Hwayu might work as a boy...? I think her large fangs and ears could make her look very dragon-like.

Can't wait to see the event head though! They do typically show them off a few days (or maybe a week?) after the even starts if memory serves, so hopefully they'll post them sometime soon~

 

The new dragon boy is gorgeous! I am significantly tempted by him, although I would like to see what the event head looks like. If I do end up going for him, I'd probably get normal skin with white dragon parts. I'd rather have the lavender though!

In the meantime, here's Ymir being pretty in the sunlight. Trying new wigs on him.

 

Who am I to resist temptation? I ordered little Erda in normal with tan dragon parts. I want him more animalistic and manly with black and copper metallic highlights on his beastly bits. I love painting fantasy parts! I hope it's not a long wait. for those wating for something, have some cake. (we're all waiting for something!)

 

Photos of the event heads are up!
The new Nanuri head looks a lot like Minifee Momo to me. I was kind of hoping i'd like it for my dragon over Erda, but I'm not sure it suits the character I had in mind. I do think it's quite cute though~


@petiteballerine Congrats on your Erda! Black and metallics are always a good choice for a dragon I think!

 

The Nanuri head is quite cute, although not for me. As much as I adore dragon stuff, I think I'll pass on Erda this time. Can't wait to see everyone's pics of him though!

In other news, the great wig shuffle of 2020 has begun. I've decided that the long wig suits Elliot better of the two twins. XD

 

I don't generally do boy dolls, but the idea of buying the Erda dragon and the faun lower half to have him be a multi-shifter druid is ... sorely tempting. So very tempting.

 

I have to say that I am tempted by the Erda as I love my Faun legs, but I am hoping to one day get Momo so will hold out for her I think.
Fairyland slumbers...

 

I recently fell for MNF Klaus after trying to decide for ages between Sircca, Maya or Mirwen for a tanned boy I'd like to bring home. I don't know how he managed to steal my heart, but there you go and I can't stop thinking about his adorable face... @Magnus Vale Your boys aren't helping..

I do have a question I'd like to ask. I was looking at the FL website and he's only available as a basic package under Fairyline. Does this mean that they won't be releasing him under a la carte or is this something I need to wait for?

 

I'd say wait for it, @kagami. the Fairyline girls (like Sircca) are available as regular a-lines too. Even though, I have to admit, I absolute -love- the male Fairyline body, its an extremely good poser, in my opinion far better than the 'regular' a/b/moe-lines.

 

@meanae Thank you for that information! I'll probably wait it out a bit and see. What makes you say that? I have a regular MNF motion line boy body now and I already think he's amazing Do the FL bodies have different joint systems that aid in posing?

 

@kagami Unfortunately, I don't have any other Fairyland boys to compare to, but I can definitely confirm that the Fairyline body poses like a dream! Sorry my boys keep tempting you, Klaus is a very nice sculpt. XD

Apparently Elliot is now the bathroom goblin. (It has the best light in the house at night for pictures.)

 

@Magnus Vale Your bathroom goblin is adorable

I'm now to tempted to get Erda for the dragon parts to go with this MNF Klaus that I'd like to bring home... omg all these decisions

 

The fairyline has newly designed upper leg joints, which, as @Magnus Vale mentioned, pose like a dream. I've noticed that a/b/moe-lines have a kinda restricted movement there (especially standing with legs spread or holding their legs up on any way), which the Fairyline body holds perfectly. He also got mobility joints (a first for bigger dolls!) and can hug his knees to his chest

 

Now I'm really confused. Was under the impression from the sales listing descriptions on the Fairyland site and DDE site that the FairyLine boy body is the Motion Boy body.

If one orders from the A la carte Fairline Basic boy section, will the body be Motion boy style but with the human pelvis/legs that can be detached?

When I bought my FairyLine Sia human her pelvis and legs were with the detachable engineering.

Will someone who has a Motion boy body and a Fairy Line boy body post or direct me to any postings that compare them.

Where can I see the mobility joint and knees hugging the chest pictures?

 

@meanae Ooo thank you for that. I was just wrestling with Solas' legs to see if he can do the knee-to-chest thing, but he can't

@passionasfashion Hi! If i'm understanding correctly, the Fairyline and Motion line bodies look the same but their engineering is different. Fairyline comes with detachable pelvis and legs that are strung separately so that they can be swapped out with fantasy parts. Motion line does not have this engineering and are strung together from head to foot. I managed to find this post in a previous thread that shows some comparisons, as well as what the Fairyline mechanism looks like! If you scroll down a bit more, the same owner posts a photo of the knees-to-chest pose you're looking for. On a side note, I love the Ryung on your profile photo

I managed to talk myself out of Erda for the dragon parts, but I am this close to hitting check-out on a tanned Klaus on DDE.

 

@kagami Thank you for the link and clarification.
If the head I wanted was in the list for Alacarte Fairyland boy, then I'd order my new boy that way.

My Ryung, Ricky Jones, thanks you for the compliment.

 

It's been so long since I've been on DOA! I just ordered a full set Erda so I could get the vampire head. I don't care for most of the set, but definitely need that head, and maybe the other parts will grow on me.

 

Hi everyone! I'm also coming out of a long dolly hibernation but the "new" fairyline has really caught my attention. Can I request some spam of Atlis, Rens, and any other fantasy-legged beauties hanging out here?

 

Hello guys! This is my mermaid Alicia

Alicia by Anna Zueva, on Flickr

 

@Annaku Wow, what a pretty picture! The beach looks amazing, and your girl is beautiful!

Here's one of the twins, now that I switched wigs again.

 

@Saraht
hes so pretty!!

@Magnus Vale
We are all bathroom goblins in this time. Isn't it great how we can the best lighting in the weirdest...places?

 

Has anyone received the Carol Fairy yet? I'm more than two months out and getting anxious!

 

Fairyland has posted a notice on their Blog that the korean shipping services stopped working.

 

Oh I must not have seen that! That makes sense, though. Thanks for letting me know.

 

Depends on region for shipping according to their update (Oceania is a no-go and I am writhing in agony), but I assume that they're not done manufacturing the orders, considering how thorough South Korea was about their quarantine procedures. I'm also waiting on a Carol and she's still at in processing (at roughly 50 working days). I expect that even without the current pandemic, I'd have been waiting a couple more weeks with the full-set and event head combo that's in my order.

 

Put together my centaurs (and soon-to-be centaurs) finally I'm still not sure how to do Alysses (modded Maya) overall color scheme, but Siean will get a white centaur body and will probably stay light.

 

WOW! They are stunning! The colors are perfect.

 

a centaur chorus line of amazing beauty!

 

I wonder if they will do another Fairyline release soon. I need a fairyline body and holding out to see if they announce some more releases like the last event.

 

Hi all I have a question for the seahorse tail owners. I own the Alicia tail but it's been in storage for quite a while. I took it out now, and suddently the body doesn't seem to fit in the tail as well anymore...It keeps trying to lean back. It never did this before. It is like the body doesn't 100% fit the tail anymore. Anyone know if this is possible? Can I fix this somehow?

 

I'm trying to get going on some projects that I've put on the long finger and one of them is dyeing my Fairyline centaur body black, but I remember Fairyland recommending not taking the body apart as it's complicated, has anyone successfully taken theirs apart and put it back together?

 

Jup, me! two times actually when dyeing both my tan centaurs bodies darker. Its not extremely complicated, but requires some work.

 

I've heard of this happening. Mine are always on their mermaid tails but I do have a Momo whose human legs don't fit right anymore after being on bunny legs a while. I think the fix I heard of is to use a bit of heat to get the resin to go back into shape. Maybe hold it over some steam for a bit? I know that helps pop dented resin back out, I imagine it would have an effect on "warped" (for lack of better term) resin. In any case, it shouldn't hurt it any to try that. If we can dye resin by boiling it then some steam to try and pop it back into shape shouldn't hurt.

 

Thank you! I shall give this a go. It is very odd to see how it doesn't fit right anymore after being in storage :/

 

I see that DDE has received shipments of little Erda to sell as in stock items. I ordered Jan 3rd. Wondering why it's taking so long? FL usually has dolls ready to ship when they first release a sculpt. Erda took less than 2 months last year even with the event head. I understand the shipping issue, but I wish we knew if our order was queued for shipping. Anyone have their Dragon Erda? Would love to see pics.
I guess I'll ask DDE what's up.

 

She's so beautiful! We live at the seaside and I could only hope to find such a lovely little mermaid out on the beach!

 

Elliot got some spiffy new hair!

 

Thank you both for your effort to clarify this! I was trying to figure out the difference and this was very helpful

 

Hi guys, does anyone know if the FAUN boy legs fit a girl body?
thanks

 

Only semi, since the shape of the pelvis joint is different.

 

Hugo and Delphinnia, getting to know each other much better.
I sure love CP tan. Glad I have a few in my crew.

 

Hello !

It's not a perfect match, the boy pelvis is a bit wider, but with clothes it's not bad at all ^^

 

I somehow managed to score an in stock blank dragon Erda from DDE this past week. He arrived this past Friday and I've been buzzing ever since. It's amazing how well he can stand, even without using his tail as a counterbalance. Haven't a clue how he'll be painted, mostly because I'm terrified of ruining his bottom half with dye, but I'm stoked to have him anyway.

A question I have, though, because I'm unfamiliar with FL sculpts as a whole: is it normal for there to be no marks whatsoever inside the head? I've seen heads for sale in various locales that show the sculpt name stamped inside so it was interesting to see him all smooth.

 

I recently read on the minifee thread that the first editions of a doll don't have anything inside the head, and the company add it later. Some owners confirmed it.

 

@~A*K~
Huh, that's very interesting. Thank you for the information.

 

Just made me grab my Erda and check- he doesn't have any marks either, so it's probably as @~A*K~ said.

Erda is my first fairyline boy and I have to say, all of my future fairyland boys are going to get the fairyline body. He has it all over my motion line boys. They not only fixed but vastly improved the hip joints with this body.

 

@~A*K~ Thank you for that information! I checked my full set Altis and sure enough he has no markings in his noggin! Good to know.

 

I've come up empty handed with my searches so I figured I'd ask this here:

For anyone who's dyed or otherwise dissembled the fantasy parts, especially one like Altis or Erda, how have you gone about unstringing him? The innards of the dragon bits seem very complex and I honestly don't even know where to begin.

 

I've only done a mermaid tail, but I took pictures of it so I could remember how it went together. Maybe try laying all the pieces out in order and lay the elastic roughly in the right shape with it and take a picture before dying? I've only briefly handled the dragon parts so I'm not 100% sure how complex they are

 

@BabySnow

Ah well the thing is, he's still in one piece at the moment. I'm not entirely sure how to even get to the string itself outside of overextending a hip and slicing through the elastic that I can see. I'm used to standard dolls where you can just unhook the elastic and it's easily accessible. Laying him out after the fact is good advice though, thank you.

 

Ooh, I see. Sorry, misunderstood the issue! On the mermaid I found the hook in the lowest non-magnet part of the tail and was able to pop it off. Is there not one on the feet/hooves of the other parts? If you have something like a hemostat that can hold the elastic after you pull it out, it makes handling the actual hook much easier.

 

@BabySnow
Hm, I see now! I can go through the toes I think, thank you!

 

Hi! Does anyone know if I could put some girl legs on their male body? I know it won't be a perfect fit but I'm wondering if it can be useable.
And also if other fairyland heads are compatible with the fairyline bodies?

I have a fairyland Altis but I don't like the company faceup so I'm wanting to swap his head with another of the same mold or look at others and want to know what can fit. xD

 

@Nattou It should be possible! I have done it successfully with the regular Minifee bodies to create height differences, so I assume the fairyline legs (at least the human ones) could be switched too. Which heads are you interested in? I'll check my collection against my fairyline bodies if you like!
