Well, I decided to take the plunge and order an Ante in elf grey. Now let's just wait and see whether that helped and they will now add faces and colours to make me miserable again. LOL!! All this thinking about Pukis made me want to get my trio out of their winter clothes and enjoy the spring sunshine today. So Truffle, Jasmine and Cookie went out to play- but Cookie was playing hide-and-seek and decided to come out blurry in all the pictures. Here are Jasmine and Truffle showing off their new(ish) outfits for the spring, though: (Jasmine is a Darjeeling, and Truffle is of course a Cochon. Cookie is a Pukisha, but like I said, he was being tricksy this morning!) I decided that both Cookie and Truffle need their regular hands - I am a bit tired of the bulky front hooves and paws. (Love the feet and the ears, though - even though Truffles ears are somewhat hidden by her curls in this wig...)
I ordered a Pukifee ante in tan with faceup and sp plate with faceup last March and it took 5 months through Denver Doll. I just expect a 6 month wait and it’s nice if it is quicker.
My orders have all been through DDE since the FL website change. PKF Kaka was my last one in 2022, I ordered her June 22 and received her October 29, so just over 4 months. For the most part, my wait time has generally been around 4-5 months
I have gotten budget go ahead to order one of these darlings, and I am wondering if I should get Rory or Cupid. Anyone have a particularly great face up to show me how amazing they could be or should I go for the company faceup?
I suggest going to Flickr and searching pukipuki Rory and pukipuki Cupid. There are some gorgeous pukipuki Rorys there but they are not mine to share so I can’t. ( If you haven’t joined Flickr yet, there are free memberships). Congratulations on your approval! I’m going on the “beg for forgiveness later” concept
Hey, has anyone tried one of those miniature room kits for pukipukis? I am wanting to put together some furniture and rooms for them, and I was wondering if they are a good fit.
I made a 1/24 scale one and it was too small for a 10cm doll so it will definitely be too small for puki. You probably want 1/12 scale.
They are really cute but not very practical anyway. However, it did give me some ideas on how to make my own props when I do eventually work on a doll house or room box for my pukis.
I caved in and purchased a dolls house from Argos for mine. Not that I’ve put it together yet, or even bought any furniture/props for it. The tiddlywinks are not due for quite a while but it is good to know what size things to look for.
I’ve been looking at doll houses and trying to decide if I want a realistic look or a toy look. I don’t know if I want them to seem in their own world or tiny beings living in a human size world if that makes sense.
The cabinet I got for my dolls is a little impractical for the big ones, but I can see one of the cubicles making a lovely home for a puki! I need to search for some diorama ideas. I actually have some of the dollhouse furniture I had for my former pukisha, too.
Cube storage is a good size for them. I use scrapbook paper for backgrounds when I take photos so I have a good supply of “flooring and wallpaper.”
I have no display/storage for any of my dolls at the moment, but one of the ways I want to do it is Doll house/doll room set ups, especially for the 18 inch dolls I have. Don't think the Lusion or my sd13 will get rooms of their own, though! But the pukis? I need me a coffee shop, a bakery, a tea house... hahaha, I'm going to be so broke when I have space.
My daughter has a Lori Doll Cafe but it fits 15-17cm dolls, the pukis would look like toddlers in it. I want a little greenhouse/flower shop scene but first a bedroom or playroom. Just be careful what you’re looking at to buy, sometimes the scale will be off, look for actual measurements and what size doll fits the items. Then you have to decide if you want your doll to look like a child or adult in the space or using the props. Luckily I have a daughter with all kinds of dolls so if I buy something that doesn’t work it will most likely work for one of hers.
I ordered my PongPong! I’m excited to have one with a non-Fairyland face up. I’m excited about the sleeping faceplate too! I think sleeping PongPong is possibly even cuter than the awake version.
I saw this little one on the marketplace right before the Pukipukis were rereleased. I just couldn't get them out of my head. The face-up was so unique. Painted by our @Fairy Milliner I believe. So, now they are home with us! I am so glad I got them! The face-up is even more amazing in real life! Check out the spoilers below.
