MNF "Active Line" Body

[kiyakotari]

Excuse me while I go find a wall to bang my head against.

If this body (please ignore the strangely crossed eyes in the photos - apparently they can sculpt dolls that make me want to weep, but cannot yet place doll eyes correctly) were 1/3 scale, rather than 1/4, it would be the PERFECT option to serve as the incredibly-hard-to-find body I need for Jian. But noooooo...it's an MNF body, and all that posing and those muscles and everything will never, ever be a part of my crew because I'm determined to move away from the 1/4 scale dolls.

Jeebus. Look at the posing on this guy, right out of the box.

I may cry. Or go eat a cold dairy product with peanuts in it.

I suspect you'd have company on that one.
Tough part being to decide what you can live without.
Just paid bills, argggh.

The eMail I sent to FairyLand:

Hello Dear Fairy Land!

I love the sculpt of your MiniFee Active-Line boy body. The posing, the joints, the muscles - they're all perfect. Sadly, I know a lot of people who don't collect 45cm size dolls. I'm one of them. I only collect dolls that are around 58-60cm tall.

Will you consider someday making a larger body for boys that has the same style of joints, and the beautiful Active-Line muscles? A body in the 58-59cm range? I know a lot of people who would love to own a 58cm boy with a body like that. I think he would be very popular, because there are not any boy bodies that are 58cm tall and have good muscles like your MiniFee Active-Line body has.

Thank you so much for your time.
Sincerely,
Kiya

And their reply:

Dear Kiya,

Thank you for your support in FairyLand dolls. It is rather difficult to comment on your question at this stage because our sculpting team is always working on preparing new projects, but until some visible progress is made it is hard for the administrators like myself to know what will be available in the future.

If you have any other inquiries please feel free to ask ^^

So basically, not a flat-out no, more of a, "Stupid little fangirl, don't ask us about our plans, we're not telling you anything. Pfft." (Which makes me hopeful, even if it's without any reason.)

On one hand, I totally want to get a list of people together who are expressing an interest in a 58-60cm version of the male "A-Line" body, not so much as a petition as just to show FairyLand that there is a market for it. On the other hand, I'm vaguely worried that such a thing would be taken the wrong way.

Maybe I'll give it a few months and see what happens.

Hmm, dunno, but I read the note as a slightly frustrated administrator getting that blank look from the artists and some sort of cryptic answer that's impossible to translate into the real world. It's quite amusing.
You know that blank look, right?
And the totally wacko poetic zen answer, like, "Pigs appreciate the red maple leaves of autumn," and something sketchy of a couple rounds blobs and a vague comment that they could get just the right red silk at nine million dollars a yard for the costume.

Sigh.
