I'm not sure they permanently discontinued pukifee pong pong or any of the others. I think that they will offer only a select few at a time in the future, but that the select few will change. They have said that they are going to discontinue Littlefee sculpts though and I imagine this will be like the minifees that they discontinued.
Uggghhhhhh I don't know what to do. I just remembered I have a YoSD-sized head preordered that's going to need a body (Element Doll Pitt L) and I figured they could share with a LittleFee, but I've gotten more acclimated to buying second-hand now and am thinking of how much money I could save...I guess I have until tomorrow. ...OR at least until 11:00am tomorrow, if they're following Korea time. I totally forgot about that until just now. Good luck everyone!!! (Edited to add that I'm on the east coast. Otherwise, it could be as early as 8:00am. Yikes!)
Ack! I just saw the notice about the discontinuation this morning and noticed a little bit of damage around Tamsin's joints yesterday. She's 9 years old and well loved (but perpetually six to continue the "age" discussion). Here's hoping her body holds out, because I don't think I could handle not having my best girl as part of my crew. She's had a faceplate replacement already and I was thinking I could just get another littlefee ante for the sleeping face and body, and just have a perpetual "Ship of Theseus" partial reshelling.

I had to get a LTF Elf Ante at the last minute. I have Ante in tan and always wanted a natural resin version as well. I don't imagine they will discontinue Ante, but not taking any chances.
I hope everyone managed to snag their must-have Littlefees! I put my order in for that LTF Chiwoo I've been wanting. There are several others I'd love to own one day, but I'll just have to hope that at least a couple of them make the cut and will be available again in the future. It was really hard to decide who to get. Y'know, I hope FL isn't using the sales numbers from this event to decide which LTF are the most popular and which should be retired, considering that a lot of people seem to be trying to order the LTF on their wish list that seem the least popular.
Hmm. It's nearly 1:00pm EST (USA) on April 1st and the LittleFees are still available. Is that on purpose?
They are still available now. I'm just now getting back into BJDs, and I just saw the announcement of the LTF 'hiatus' and panic-bought one. We'll see if my order gets canceled. I ordered a Chloe, which is probably not one that they would discontinue. But I've been meaning to get my Chloe boy his twin sister for years, so also taking no chances over here.
Probably because 4/1~4/2（kst） is a holiday weekend and they are off, so maybe wait till Monday when they start work and they will close them.

Well they're officially sold out on the website now, still no list! So that's sad. I'm glad i ordered my el elf when i did. @Blodeuwedd So gorgeous! i love her style.
Ugh! I somehow missed the cut off date! Kinda poopie that they only mentioned the hiatus and culling in a line in the Sarang Event post. Something like this really should have had its own announcement.
I totally agree! I just found out today. Denver Dolls is still taking Littlefee orders until April 21, I will have to make a decision really quickly.
This was exactly my reaction. I always thought it'd be super easy to get a backup Littlefee Ante so no worries. Out of all my dolls I can't do without her. I am pretty sure Ante would be the last one to be discontinued, but it's still unsettling. I love Tamsin, she is the sweetest!
Okay, I caved and pre-ordered a LittleFee Big Pukisha from DDE just now. I went with the four-month layaway option since it will likely take him that long to get here anyway. I decided to finally go for it because 1) I couldn't stop obsessing over my LTF concept, which usually indicates that it's the right decision, and 2) I have another YoSD-sized head on pre-order already -- an Element Doll Pitt L head through SpacestudioBJD that should be here in August -- and I'd need to find them a body anyway, and I knew that someone had used LTF. If the Pukisha doesn't work out, I'll at least have the body! Now to wait...
In honor of the discontinuation, does anyone want to share pictures of their favorite "underrated" sculpts? I only have one of the most ubiquitous sculpts (ante) so I won't be able to participate, but I'd love to see a Flora or a Rachel!
I'm quite fond of my Jude - it's a really sweet sculpt without being too cartoony. edit: apparently with all the changes at FL, I'm a bit lost in the threads. Sorry gang!
Here is my Jack Straw. By the way, there is one in stock at DDE! The FL stock photo is very different and I prbably never would have gotten him if DDE didn't feature him on Instagram in one of their "Wig-out Wednesdays." LittleFee Jack Straw by Jane K, on Flickr
