@spih THANK YOU for that photo: that Pio factory faceup looks great with a black wig! I also like Dollquest's faceup. Just depends on what mood you're going for. I love 'em both! @Dollquest Your faceup is INCREDIBLE! Great job! I'd love to see your Pio Peggy in a warmer-colored wig, though, to complement the beautiful warm tones of your faceup. Did you make that dress with the hand-embroidered roses?! Also wonderful!
I did not make the dress. You might be right about the wig. Maybe a warm darker blonde. The white one was one I already had. I’d like to try to make a yarn wig. I’ve made alpaca wigs so I think yarn might be fun.
Is he a 2023 Pio or an older one? I wasn’t sure if fairyland was still doing those colors for the faceup on this sculpt.
He is an older one, about 2018-2019 year. I don't know if Fairyland still use those colors. They usually use the basic make up pictures as reference. If there are several options you can try and ask them to do the one you prefer. They do it for my Bonnie)
Where do people find Pukifee these days? I've been out of the loop for about seven years and cannot find 2nd hand dolls now, it used to be SO easy!
You can get new ones from Denver Doll Emporium and direct through Fairyland. They came back with a few sculpts and some new changes. Offical: DenverDollEmporium on Instagram: "Fairyland Pukifee is BACK! These 8 sculpts are available for preorder IN TAN, Natural and BW. The faceplate & backhead joint have been updated. The faceplate itself has not changed.

I’m debating whether I want tan or natural skin ante. I’ve never had tan and was wondering how the tan ages for those of you that have tan girls. Does the yellowing blend with the tan better than the natural tone? I love both so having hard time deciding which to order . The warning says there maybe some green, yellow or white areas… anyone have those issues with new ones? Thanks!
I've never had any issues with the spots - just some seam lines. The older tan pukis I have don't seam to have much yellowing, maybe a little mellowing. I have even had to boil out dents and scratches in a head I bought that was mauled by a dog, and the color is still fine.
With all the excitement about the re-release of RealPuki, I was trying to decide if I wanted to go with one or if I should just grab a Pukifee. I noticed that Icis, Zio, and Dony are now available in the A La Carte section. Not sure when they joined the line up, but I'm definitely excited to see more options!
Someone does! This is Khaleesi She looks normal skin, but she's actually tan. Khaleesi by clochette62, on Flickr
Ahhh shes so cute!! I am thinking of in the future getting a tan mio! Khaleesi is so sweet, love her lil face ♡♡♡ can I ask her eyes/wig size?
Old photo, but one of my favorites...after a visit to Denver Doll! Pukifee Dash Denver by clochette62, on Flickr
@SacredMonsoon Sorry you had a bad day! Here's one of my older photos (Pukifee event faceplate). He's gonna be trouble, I can just tell!
Little Mio is here to say, "Hi!" @SacredMonsoon I hope you are having a better day today! Pukifee Mio tan by Jane K, on Flickr
Here’s one of Waverly’s first pictures, from 2009! She’s started hinting about getting a car for her next birthday, she’s going to be 16!? by daisydayes, on Flickr
Here are my two Ante sculpt Pukifees, the tan one is new and the natural one is older, but I love them both @DaisyDayes, I didn’t know pukifee have been around that long even though the info is in the wiki, that is amazing! I wish I knew how old mine is.
I finally get to join this thread!!! I just bought me a Pukifee Ante in NS secondhand, so I should have her home by the end of the week! I'm so excited. I am already making plans on what to do with her.
Thank you! I keep checking my tracking and staring at her sales pic, lol! Fingers crossed she's home by Saturday!!
Congratulations @pepperonipizza! Did you get one from 2023 or an older one? I remember getting my first pukifee, she arrived on a day when I had an event to go to and I just wanted to stay home.
Good question! The seller didn't say when she got her, so I guess I'll know when I look at her COA? Oh man, that had to be so painful to have to wait to open your girl!! What sculpt did you get first?
I don’t think the coa has a date on Fairyland dolls, the new ones have 2023 inside the head though. My first one was my natural resin Ante, she’s an older one, before coas, but I love her!
Oh okay - I guess then I won't know unless she has the 2023 stamp! Oooh, the Ante is just the sweetest. I should have mine tomorrow if the PO behaves!!
I just added to my PKF family and bought a secondhand Zoe She's very mellowed but I don't care (she actually matches all my old FL), she's adorable! I'm planning on hybriding her onto an old Tiny Delf Centaur body.
@twylight - Congrats on getting her!! She's such a cutie pie. My Ante came home today and she does have 2023 inside her head. I've named her Rose Petal and will share pics of her as soon as I make her something to wear.
@pepperonipizza Thank you and I can't wait to see yours!! I don't know why I don't have more PKF, a failing of my younger collecting years for sure.
pukis by Jordan Roth, on Flickr They're insisting they need more sisters. My bank account after ordering three pukipukis suggests otherwise....
It was a failure of my early collecting years too - they just seemed to be somehow out of reach! And now I've just paid off a second Pukifee....Rosebud needed a brother, lol! They are so sweet!! Lol, good for you for ordering 3 pukipukis!! Maybe your girls will still get more sisters one of these days!
Sorry for the double post - I wanted to share pics of Rose Petal. My second Pukifee arrived today, but he's still in the box. So I'll post pics of him eventually! Forgive the lack of wig - I'll start working on her wig when I can. I got some pale dusty rose pink yarn to make it out of that will be perfect! Any ways, here she is. I made the dress out of the wrong color - I should have gone with pink! And it still needs a belt and her tights, so it's definitely an unfinished look. I'll post more pics when she is more together, but I love her so much I had to share! Rose Petal's first dress by PepperoniPizza 13BlackCats, on Flickr
@pepperonipizza She is really cute. I love yarn wigs for the little ones! The dress looks really well made! I like the style. You could try adding some small silk rose embellishments to the dress and maybe some silk plant leaves or silk plant flower petals to make it more pink.
@nancy_schroeder_ca - thank you! @Dollquest - thank you! I lined the whole dress with tulle - it was the first time I lined that much with tulle, but for small clothing items, it works really well and finished the different pieces cleanly. I do love your suggestions - I will experiment and see how it comes together. I don't have any silk flowers or leaves at the moment....but I can easily fix that! More excuses to go to the fabric/craft store! Now that my second PKF is home, I need to figure out his clothing. I was initially planning on a similar look for him, only with a tinuc rather than a dress, but after seeing him, I don't think that's the right style. Doll are so much fun!
I couldn't decide exactly how I wanted to fix the peach dress, so I just gave it to a family member who has a tan skin doll on order. It'll be perfect on a tan skin doll. And I made Rose Petal a new dress in the colors I first imagined it in. And she has a temporary wig (which I am loving more and more) until I can make her pink yarn wig. Though this wig is so cute, I think the pink yarn wig can just be a secondary wig if/when I ever make it! Pukifee Ante Rose Petal Dress by PepperoniPizza 13BlackCats, on Flickr I am so much happier with this dress! It's exactly how I wanted it!
Fern by Jordan Roth, on Flickr I used to exclusively like the ante sculpt, but now I really love bonnie as well. Its kind of unfortunate that you don't see too many of them.
