Fairyland PukiPuki Discussion Part 24

Looks like they were shipping Antes first.
Fingers crossed you will get shipping notifications soon!

While waiting for all new pukipukis to arrive, my darling Agnes is trying to befriend everyone .... including this bumblebee

 

I just made my last layaway payment - so hoping my Ante comes home soon!

 

@Lemon Balm Sprite What a fantastic photo! You must have been patient to capture Agnes and the bee at the right moment. Very well done! It's so crisp and perfectly focused too.

@Kirahfaye Fingers crossed for you. I haven't heard anything on either of mine, but they were ordered during the period extension, and it does seem to mostly be Antes (And Pongs, based on DDE stock) coming out first. Hopefully your Ante is among them.

It seems Pukis are coming back into my life with a vengeance. I've never had more than two at a time, and thanks to this sale, that doubled. I thought that was probably all my Puki fortune for the next several years, but the secondhand market had other plans...

...help. Hoping she gets here safe and soon.

 

I am waiting by the email box to get my shipping notice for my tan ante...

 

Aww! I was looking at her this morning! Congrats on the purchase!

 

@psychicandroid Thank you! I'm excited. Apologies if I snapped her out from under you. I don't buy many dolls / doll parts on Ebay anymore, but the last time I let an old, discontinued doll go and decided to let someone else win her, a recaster bought her and she started showing up in their listings less than a month later. Definitely a worst-case scenario- I don't snap up every old doll I see, nor could I afford to- but after sleeping on it, I knew I'd regret letting Rose go.

She will fit right in with Bellweather (Piki) and Pendelon (Flora). I'm looking forward to seeing her personality emerge when she settles.

 

Hahahah, you actually did! XD But I'm so glad she went to a good home. A long time ago I had a Rose and that litle face brought back some fond feelings. I've made the mistake twice of selling pukis. I've decided that no more selling the pukis XD

 

OMG, I have a Rose and I just love her!!! I can't wait to see pictures of yours!

 

I ordered a tan Ante from DDE on March 1st and got my shipping notice today. Hopefully her outfit will make it here in time!

 

@psychicandroid Ahh. I understand. I'm in the same boat- my parents bought me an Ante one year for Christmas, but I ended up trading her to help get a gift for a friend. Always pined for a Flora, but decided to wait for tan... and missed both tan events. Shortly after they were discontinued, I had the opportunity to adopt a Pipi and a Brownie hybrid, and I was highly motivated to do things with them. I made a wig for one, started an outfit for the other, and then just... ran out of time. So I sold them a couple of years later. Almost instant regret. Now the Pukis stay. It's not like they take up much room anyway.

Fingers crossed that this Puki sale went well enough that they'll decide to bring them all back. I wish you success in finding another Rose. Auction sites have yielded the best results for me these past three years, but there was a Puki or two on the MP here within the last... half a year, I think?

@Dollquest Thank you! I'm very excited. ETA says Saturday, but both of my previous Ebay parcels have been late, so we shall see. I'm trying to lull my impatience by working on Project Cupid- the WS rescue Puki I picked up in 2022.

Your Rose is precious! I remember her- she's the one with the nicely-painted black cat ears. And your incredible Pukisha with the realistic faceup. In fact, you have a strong little family of Pukis, if I recall correctly. Likewise, I would love to see more pictures of yours too. I need to get back into toy photography- I've definitely missed it.

@NineOneThree Another Ante spotted! Congratulations! I hope she arrives safe and soon, and that her outfit does not delay. She's a great choice, especially in tan. That face will melt you once you see her in person. Looking forward to pictures, should you decide to take some.

Looking forward to everyone's pictures, no less. I never get tired of seeing more Pukis.

...Speaking of Project Cupid, poor soul still doesn't have ears- the first pair I sculpted snapped right off, and I had to clean up the leftover epoxie. Thankfully it came off with magic eraser, water and elbow-grease once I got down to the bits laying on the resin. No sanding required. We're going to try glue-on ears next, since magnet ears would turn out too large with the smallest magnets I have. They've been made... but now the weather must warm up again before I can lay down some fresh MSC coats.

 

Thank you @Loptr, I have Ante in other sizes but I am excited to see her in Pukipuki size

I hope they bring back Darjeeling and Pipi.

 

@NineOneThree Add my vote for Pipi, especially if we can get them in tan. I miss Pipi the most out of my previous Pukis. Love that sassy little pout.

...Rose did arrive on time and is just as sweet in person.

 

My little friend arrived and I'd forgotten just how tiny Pukipukis are!

Meet Thimble, a tan Flora.

 

I now need Flora in tan! OMG! I love her!

 

@cleverLC What a perfect name for her! (Or are they a 'him'?) And what a great outfit. Those bright stripes compliment tan nicely. Congratulations! Is Thimble more mischievous or gentle?

 

Thimble is a "them." Still working on personality.

 

As I was posting this pic on another thread I thought I’d pop it here too as someone mentioned they missed that sassy Pipi pout.
It’s an old photo of Patticake but it says everything about her. I redid her faceup a few years back but never really got around to taking many photos. Think I’m a bit scared to if I’m honest as she’s not very forgiving!

@Blodeuwedd Is... is she making the loser 'L' at you? Vindictive indeed! That pout is powerful.

 

Don't cross that Patticake, she's hardcore!

 

Love Patticake, I really hope they bring that sculpt back

My Ante is here, I’m working on a name and character while waiting on another wig, all I have available in that size is pink and I’m not sure that suits her.. The outfit I had made arrived on the same day and it is amazing, I can’t get over the talent of the seamstress who makes tiny outfits with so much detail. I’ll post pictures as soon as the other wig gets here and I make decisions on styling.
