MinoruWorld Junior Discussion part 2

[Ballet]

Aw, Everyone's' dolls are so cute and don't know how I feel about the merger, but eh it's done lol XD One day I'll get another MW. Just wanted to drop a photo off of my Jane, sorry for the blurry, it was slightly raining and I'm using my phone.

[PotatoMash]

Maaan I'm not at not pleased with this ! Especially not with the price of a junior with face up compared to what they were on minoru world. And I hope shirley will be listed soon, I was really looking forward to her. I'm not good with change at all, I think they should've kept the original junior price and kept the unassembly kits. the new boy is really cute though, I love his set, but I wish I could have it as a girl instead ): Oh how I complain !

[olmmm]

Peppermintsheep: That sounds AWESOME! Please post pics if you get them, the thought of Avengers Juniors is just too adorable...
almyki: I noticed that resin mismatch too! I would definitely hold off on ordering Juniors for a while until everything is coordinated. Bummed about the raised prices too...
Ballet: Jane is so cute! I love her hat -- she is definitely prepared for a chilly, rainy fall.
PotatoMash: I'm with you on the Shirley -- where is she?! Also, anyone else notice that there are no shoes or outfits for the Juniors except on the Shiny Fairy choice dropdown? Now I wish I'd picked up some more Junior shoes, unless they add those at a later date. :\

Still, it's nice to have everything in one place on the web, instead of two separate sites. And maybe this means Juniors will be included in more theme special outfits?

Linus is adorable! I'm glad he's a choice, too, because I think he'd make a really cute girl. Plus I am just not a fan of white skin :/ Jaden V is adorable, too! But I don't see the Junior body as an option at all as a separate part. Hopefully it will appear on BluefairyInt soon, because I need a blossom body for my Leila...

I'm really not sure how I feel about this whole thing either, but time will tell, I suppose.

Popping back in with a pic of my spooky little Abigail! I took some time off from making dresses for other people to spoil my own girl. She insists she "only will wear colours ironically".

[Sodabeentjes]

@Yumi: Miel is adorable!!
@ballet: adorable shot, I love your girls hair!
@kastalia: I love both the dresses! <3

I had some posing problems with my Leila, she could not stand and sit, basically she could lie down...
I had tried restringing and pipecleaners, but it didn't do much.
And a few days ago I wired her, and wow! That made all the difference! She poses quite good now, can stand and sit normally ^^
And when I hold her, she doesn't flop backwards anymore
I felt all inspired with her again, and I made her a dress and some thights. I just can't get enough of her now! ^^

~daww! Loving all the sudden pic-spam!
Aw! A LTFChiwoo+Jr hybrid would be soo cute! Your family looks so great together Yumi~, and Miel looks like a wonderful big/little bother!
Jane is so adorable with her umbrella Ballet!
Abigail looks creepily-cute in her new dress, Kastalia; I think pink suits her! XD
Your Leila sounds like she was a little too loose Sodabeentjes; but I'm glad she's behaving herself now; and her new dress is wonderful! (Merle's body is awful kicky, but then I wired her & now she can really hold a pose!)

Kinda bummed about the merge... I've been wanting a boy-minoru to be the older brother to one of my Yos... :< I'll still get him down the track, but I am really gonna miss the 1-2 week waiting time! ... I'll also miss the "unassembled-choice" option too... Ah well ^^;
Also, what is up with the terrible resin-matching with the Junior heads on the SF bodies! XD

[PotatoMash]

Well, after looking a bit more on the new dolls, I've decided Linus is going on my wishlist, he's simply adorable. I don't know if it'd fit best on a girl body, or boy yet, but the autumn walk edition makes him seem like this little outdoors kid who climbs trees and scrapes his knees !
Other than that, I made my girl a little dress here the other day. Actually made 2, but I haven't got pictures of the first one!
She's wearing a different wig from what she usually wears too, thought it made her look more classy

[hobbywhelmed]

I bet BF took existing heads from MW. The resins of the Jrs and the BF shinys has always been slightly different. BF was different from AR too, even though the minis' bodies were the same. I don't know how good the matching will be, especially initially. I've noticed when i buy parts now from BF, including heads, they come in closed cellophane bags with cardboard tops. So heads may well be produced ahead of time. I think it will be safer to order the ex-MW heads on the Jr. bodies for awhile, rather than order them on the BF Shiny Fairy bodies, which also may be stockpiled.

My Minoru, Hotaru, is a little guy, kind of a fantasy character. I wish his lower lashes weren't quite so dark, but I'm not about to change them!

[Leeza~Kat]

Has anyone tried TTYA jeans to see if they are long enough for MW boys?

[PotatoMash]

Sooooo, did anyone get themselves a LE Linus or Jaden from bluefairy? I got myself a Linus and have the personality all sorted out and the clothes and such, all except the eyes and name - it's the first time I haven't named my doll before it was here lol ! I'm looking forward to it anxiously!

[Leeza~Kat]

Got to try on a pair of TTYA Jeans at a doll meet today, they are easily 1-1.5 inches too short and the waist is a touch too small to side up over the hips.

[ZenakuCreator]

I really want to get two Leila's next, a boy and a girl in Junior size, to be my twins, Hanna and Hazel.

Would you guys recommend getting the wig that comes with them, or should I get different wigs for them to wear? Has anyone purchased the default wigs with them? I'm doing some research before I purchase the twins, and this is one of my last few questions I need answered.

Thanks in advance for any advice you guys can give.

[angelcallie]

PotatoMash I'm so excited to see pictures of your Linus! I really thought about picking him up myself, he's such a cutie.

ZenakuCreator Bluefairy makes very nice wigs. I have their default on my Ted and I've ordered wigs from them for some of my other non-bluefairy dolls. The wig cap on them is sometimes a tiny bit big, but that can be easily fixed with a silicone wig cap or something of the sort that you can pick up for a couple of bucks. So I'd say if the default wigs fit the look you want for your dolls, go on and get them! The quality is quite good.

Eee~ I'm so excited! I'm trying my best to save for them right now, I'm just having difficulties with the holidays so near. Lol.

[PotatoMash]

I'm super excited bout'im too Angelcallie, but it isn't finished yet, Bluefairy promised to have the autumn walks shipped out before 16th of december, but now I'm worrying if I get mine before christmas ): When I do get it I'll spam my Linus and make my first doA box opening too !

[Peppermintsheep]

Has anyone ordered and received a Shiny/Junior hybrid since Blue Fairy started offering Juniors?? I'm planning on a Shiny head with a Junior body in an order in the next week or so, and I'm just hoping that the colors are matched in real life better than they are in the promotional pictures.

Thanks!

Everyone's kids are so cute! I finally uploaded a few shots of my Juniors from earlier this year. Cyrus and Lilian:

I love that picture! It has a real sunny quality.

[Lelei]

PotatoMash > She looks lovely, very classy indeed! Reminds me of Audrey Hepburn ^^

I asked on Bluefairy's Q&A about the junior shoes and they told me they haven't gotten around to updating all of them but they will add ones requested first. I asked for Engineer boots yesterday so hopefully those'll get added soon and I can finally make my order!
