![]() ![]() This is kind of the oldest trick in the book, and pops up in quite a few fairy tales. One of the most common faerie practices, or even just general enchantments, was rearranging landscapes to make travelers become lost and therefore trapped. ![]() Iron was believed to render faerie powers useless and could also hurt any sort of faerie creature (quite a lot like silver to werewolves, but a bit worse).Ĭlothes were worn inside out whenever traveling through an area believed to be frequented or inhabited by faeries, the rationale being that it confused them and they didn’t know whether you were coming or going. Here's an explanation for some of the references: For example, many of Olivia’s dislikes are things that were traditionally used to keep faeries away: things that either weakened them, hurt them, required them to do certain things before they could continue on with their faerie business (often doing things to tease or even hurt humans) or acted as a barrier which stopped them from going past a certain point. It includes a huge amount of references to old faerie lore. I find this card hysterical, and tend to giggle whenever I read it. She was $56 with shipping to Canada included. ![]() How do I know? I got my NRFB standard edition Olivia O’Lantern for $40 US without shipping costs, when she tends to go for closer to $70 or $80 and up. Make sure to do your research.) This being said, a deal can most definitely be found with lots of attentive searching, patience and a bit of luck. (Don’t trust the eBay prices though! There is one Lolita Sun on eBay for just under $200 when she can be bought for $47.99 from the Varner Concepts website. Most Begoths tend to fall right in between these two at around $60-$100, without shipping. Let’s just say I am very glad I didn’t fall in love with her. If, however, you want a doll such as Anarchy Annie (who I believe was some sort of super-ultra convention exclusive in the UK, and rarely comes up for sale) then you are looking at.possibly whatever the seller is asking. If you want a standard edition doll that wasn’t very popular such as Gloria Phobia (who is still in stock at Varner) then you can get your hands on a new, NRFB doll for under $40 US no problem-possibly less if you buy her secondhand. There are many exclusives, chase dolls, variants, limited editions and even convention exclusives within the Begoth line. As with almost all products which have been discontinued for awhile, Begoths can be a bit tricky to find, but this all depends on which Begoth it is you are after. ![]()
