Slinky Neko Junior Discussion

As far as I noticed there was not a thread to discuss Slinky Neko mini-sized dolls in, so I decided to create one.

This is my SN Junior Borry, Nora. We had a bit of trouble bonding at first, but I think she fits right in at home now.

I haven't made her much proper clothing yet, but at least she has her chair...
If you have any other questions about the sculpt feel free to ask me. I will try my best to answer.

 

I've got her with my Lati Green girl


I just got the e-mail today for SN's May limited. One of the lucky 10 purchasers of the limited baby Borry will 'find' her older sister (a Junior Borry) when thy receive their doll. I think this is a super cool promotion, the person who ends up with both girls is going to be super lucky!

 

I'm sorry I took a bit to respond!
I'll post a link to a picture of her body for you, so you can see her joints. I don't have too much experience with BJDs but she is single jointed, and with some sueding (which I have not gotten around to doing) her arms should pose nicely. (I am keeping the images as links so that I don't have to reduce them and you can see up close)

As you can see in the picture, her arms are somewhat uneven when straight:

but I guess this is the way the mold is supposed to be, according to SN (I asked on the message board).
Her legs are very sturdy, and she stands well. Her knees really have only 2 positions - straight or bent, but she has nice grooves in the back of the knee to keep them in place for sitting or kneeling:

I will be honest, when I first got her I was very disappointed with her body/posability, as I had ever only been in contact with double-jointed dolls, but I have gotten used to her
I did order directly from SN. I had a few questions before I ordered and they were happy to answer them. They sent out my doll with face-up within the 30 day period that they promised and she was well packaged. They were quite easy to deal with, which I think is a benefit of ordering from a smaller company.
Finally, the May event dolls will be sold from May 24 at 11am Korean time. Here is a link to the little photo story that came along with the e-mail:

I am sure more information will show up shortly on the site, but if you want me to forward you the e-mail with all the information, feel free to PM me your e-mail address.
I hope that addresses everything for you, if you need any more clarifications let me know!

 

Aww thanks for the compliment! I feel like she is pretty slim, but I am sorry that I have not seen any other MSD sized BJDs in person to really compare. When I got her I couldn't believe that her legs were so long! I love her curvy hips and flat chest lol
I hope you do decide to order one of these girls, I will be happy to see photos if you do! My buy was kind of an impulse, I really didn't know much about this company and I couldn't find much information, so I am hoping that this thread will help with that, so others won't have to go in as blind as I did!

 

I don't, she is my only MSD
But if I do meet up with others I will be sure to post.

 

Ahh, no problem, I mostly just have my girls sitting or standing so I know what you mean. SN Junior hands are really pretty! I can't wait to paint Nora's nails You probably already got what you needed, but for the sake of being thorough (and because I have nothing better to do and I enjoy spamming photos of my dolls), here are some hand close-ups!

 

Lol scary indeed! Getting dolly manicure supplies is up on my to-do list, but I will be afraid when I actually do it.
Aww I am secretly glad to hear that I am making it hard for you to wait... I need more spam of these girls, and others to join me on the dark side... XD

 

Today's spammage:

 

Wow, congratulations! She is so beautiful, and your photos are just perfect! I adore her red hair and faceup. Her outfit is gorgeous too, and I really like your set. Actually I just love everything about that girl and your photos of her!

 

You are lucky to have such a cute, unique girl! I adore dolls with freckles.

 

I know my photos are nowhere near as gorgeous as Enamadora's, but here is some more Nora spam anyhow. ^^

 

Those two are so different but both so pretty! They look like good friends. I hope to keep hearing about Girasol as time goes on and you get to know her more! Her freckles are just too precious.

 

I did a photoshoot with Nora in my boyfriend's backyard a few days ago, they have lots of garden and the pictures turned out really pretty.


I've also since finished a new outfit for her:

^__^

 

I have a feeling she is going to be keeping these clothes for a while, I have been neglecting my other doll D:

 

Absolutely stunning photos as usual, Enamadora! You are such a good photographer!

 

Aw so cool, such great pics as usual! Nora and I are great, thank you for asking! I took her out to a campfire last night but I didn't really get any great pictures. You have so many awesome props, I am jealous! lol
I really enjoy seeing all your photos and an glad to have a fellow SN Junior lover in this thread, I hope more join us soon. ^^

 

Hmm I am really not sure. I make most of my girl's clothing myself so the chest thing is not an issue. I actually love the fact that she is flat chested, lol, though her body itself can be a bit of a pain sometimes (I don't love the shape of the legs). I would love to hear if anyone else knows of resin matches as well, just for future reference.

 

Nora has a new friend! (She is a BlueFairy TinyFairy Jasmine, and belongs to my cousin)

 

Oh my goodness, those photos are beautiful! Again, your photography blows me away. You are brave to let your girls get wet. That beach looks so pretty, I bet Girasol had a great time.

 

Ohh, I see that is good to know! Their swimsuits are so cute.

 

Oh my goodness, Enamorada, so beautiful! You always amaze me. That last photo is superb!

 

Nora Spam!

 

dropping some Nora in here again:


Happy October!

 

Oh no! Junior Borry is such an amazing sculpt. I hope you can get your hands on her soon! There is no way I would be willing to part with my Nora lol. I haven't come across any other owners of her yet either. If you are able to puchase her, please post some photos. It is awfully lonely here in this thread. XD

Nora sends her greetings:

 

Oh wow, she is so pretty! She is a Haroo, right? Sometimes it is hard for me to tell the difference between the Haroo and Borry sculpts :/

 

I wish there were more too!
Here's a little shot of Nora just to throw in some fresh spam.

 

Wow she is stunning! Congrats! We need more Borry love in this thread! It would also be really cool to start seeing some of the new sculpts or tan girls. Where are they hiding? Sidenote: SN body was always giving me issues with posing but after a year of having my borry I finally hot glue sueded her and it blew my mind how much it helped!

 

Oh gosh, Megan is perfect. I agree, once I found Borry it was love at first sight too. The perfect doll!

 

Here is a front and back image I took a while ago when someone was doing some 3-D modeling and using my Borry as a model.

Let me know what kinds of poses you would like to see and I will be glad to take some more photos for you tomorrow. Her knees really only have 2 positions but I've hot glue sueded the rest of my girl so she poses a lot better. I find her to be quite slim, and most generic MSD clothes fit her, though they are often loose at the bust due to her lack of chest. Though I find that the body is not the best to pose, I love the look of it. Particularly the hands and hips are very well sculpted.
Hope that helps a bit.
