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.

Pukipukis were first released for pre-order in October 2007 [1] 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.

Elastic specifications from Fairyland: Pukipuki 2 cords: Body 20cm with differences of ~2cm, arm 11cm with differences of ~2cm. 'If you were to purchase your own elastic cords, you will be required to adjust small differences. Please use the following numbers only as your reference point and the tension will be affected even by how you tie the knots. We try to make the end knots around 0.5cm. The smaller the doll is, smaller the end knot should be.' Replacement Magnets can be purchased from KJ Magnetics. Some Countries have shipping restrictions on rare earth magnets. Magnet size is 1/8th inch diameter and 1/16 inch thick.

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)/Tommy
  • 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.
  • Sleeping bags are a good fit.
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
  • Boy clothes fit better than the girl clothes.
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
Heidi Ott Dollhouse Doll Collection
  • Some of the Heidi Ott dresses intended for dollhouse-sized "child" dolls fits (but not the Ott bloomers, hats or shoes)
Strawberry Shortcake
  • When being produced by Bandai shoes fit; clothing fits but pants are too long and the hoods on hoodies are too large
  • Present clothes not being produced by Bandai
Liddle Kiddles and Dawn Dolls
  • some are supposed to be a great fit, no specifics
Miki & Maki (Japanese Kelly dolls)
  • fabric is thick, pukis can't bend their arms well

The Only Hearts Club dolls: the "little sister" dolls clothes

Elf Pocket Fairy: boots

Petite Jenny by Takara
  • clothes fit perfectly

Props and Accessories

Props and accessories that are in good scale with pukipuki's:

  • Barbie accessories
  • Breyer Horses
  • Marx Little Hostess Line
  • Schleich Toys
  • Heidi Ott
  • Laura Ashley Doll House
  • Sylvanian family furniture
  • Christmas ornaments (car, etc)

American Girl Mini Rooms

  • Discontinued line, but can still be found on ebay.

Calico Critters/Sylvanian family

  • May be a tad on the small side but still workable.

1/6 Action Figure Items

  • Good place for pukipuki sized glasses, goggles and other prop items. Perfect sizing generally depends on the item.
  • Items for 1/6 action figures can be found on ebay and hobby websites.

Dollhouses and accessories

  • 1/12 scale (or 1" scale) and 1/18 scale items fit best.

ReMent and Megahouse miniatures

  • Both are Japanese based, dollhouse miniatures. The scale for the sets are usually 1/8 or 1/6. Yet some items work perfectly for Puki's. Google searches of both will lead to a large number of dealers and ebay auctions for both.

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. Monique wigs size 4, but they work better using a wig cap

  • Ruby Red Gallery (or here offers mohair wigs (Riley size fit pukipuki multi-heads best, they do come with a bit of velcro to keep them on)
  • Wigs for Volks 1/6 dollfies (Dollfie Plus) fit well too. Check ebay for those at stores like The Mimi Collection
  • Soom mini gem wigs
  • Monique wigs in size 4

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.
