PukiPuki is Fairyland's 11.2 cm line of dolls. Instead of a typical head with a headcap system, the doll has a faceplate system where the face is held on by magnets, which allows for a quick swap between a sleeping face or an open-eyed one. PukiPuki hands and feet can easily be changed because of magnets in the wrist/ankle joints and hands/feet. PukiPuki dolls also have a unique jointed system that allows them to hold a variety of poses.

Pukipuki's were first released for pre-order in October 2007 with normal sales starting in December 2007, the first released sculpts were: Pipi, Piki and Sugar. Since then the line has expanded to over 20 sculpts.

Shopping for PukiPuki

Due to the popularity of these dolls, it is not difficult to find clothing, wigs, and shoes for PukiPuki. In addition to Fairyland's assortment of outfits available, some commercially available clothing (mainstream dolls found at Target and Toys R Us for example) fit PukiPukis.

Commercially Available

Clothing and Shoes

Barbie’s littlest sister, Kelly (Shelly in Europe)

  • Outfits are a quite good fit
  • Sometimes pants are a little too short
  • SOME Kelly shoes fit, if they are squishy enough, otherwise, you can’t get their foot out
  • Boots and sneakers fit great - you can just take their feet off, and you can't tell
  • Some outfits come with tiny ballet-slipper style shoes that fit because the vamp is open enough that you can still get the shoe off

Only Hearts Li'l Kids

  • Similar to Kelly size, but pants are too short and short dresses are like long shirts.

Little Pullip - Bodysuit costumes only

  • Little Pullips series had a lot of them, including a panda called Panda, a black cat called Moon, Godzilla, a cow called Calfy, a reindeer called Rudolph, and a frog named Froggy.
  • NOTE that Little Pullip dresses are too tight, wigs are too big, and the eyes are not quite right.

Living Dead dolls

  • Very similar in size to Kelly dolls

Bratz Baby

  • Need some tweaking in the skirts, as they are a little large in the waist

Bratz Kidz Boys and some Bratz Kidz girl

  • Boy stuff fits well; some of the girl stuff fits but pants might be too small

Boneka

  • Size 10 Boneka dresses fit
  • Some of the Heidi Ott dresses intended for dollhouse-sized "child" dolls fits (but not the Ott bloomers, hats or shoes)
  • Source for both: Susan Scribner at www.littleprincessfrocks.com

Shoes

Wigs

Wig Size: Size about 3.75 - so for the most part - some size 4 are way too big, some are okay. Barbie wigs that are about 3.75 seem to fit best

Eyes

Eye Size: 8mm to 10mm. I believe a Piki (PukiPuki) is the only one who can take 10mm. A variety of vendors stock 8mm and 10mm eyes.
