The PukiFee Plunge

I finally did it...…………….bought my first PukiFee. I have been tempted by them for a LONG time, as I collected Helen Kish Riley dolls (still have them) for a while, and LOVE that size. I have tons of shoes and props for them as well, but I had read the PukiFee's couldn't wear the Kish clothes, so kept telling myself I didn't want to have to clothe another size. Told myself the LittlFee's and Realpuki's would fill that "hole".  I have a very soft spot for the Ante sculpt though and every time I saw a PukiFee Ante I wanted one. In a moment of weakness earlier this week I was browsing Denver Doll's website and saw they had a PF Ante "in stock" …………...almost instant gratification!! A rare treat in the BJD world, so I hit the buy button. She arrived today and I'm totally smitten.
First step, finding eyes and a wig that would work. I had some 10mm Sprouty eyes in my stash, which I put in. I can't decide if I like them for her or not. The wig was a bigger challenge. I had read she wears a 5/6 and I have quite a few of those, but when I started trying them on her most of them were a little too big and wanted to come down over her cute little ears. The one she is wearing here is really the only one I liked on her. Anyone out there have any recommendations for wig shopping for these cuties? Most of my 5/6's are Monique. This one is the Brittany style and it fits her pretty well. I just can't decide if the curls are too big for her or not though.
I'm also undecided if the eyes will stay or if I should try something different. 
The first pair of shoes I pulled out of the Kish stash fit her well, so hopefully all the shoes I have will work, because I have MANY in this size. Now to get her something to wear that looks a little more girly.
I'm sure she will "need" a friend eventually. That seems to happen a lot around here. It is very rare that I have just 1 of any particular size.  I really do love this size, so I don't even fool myself into thinking there will only be 1. I look forward to photographing her with my LittleFee's and Realpuki's too. Welcome to little Annie!

  2. You know my feelings on this little no longer orphan. :) Just keep in mind these little critters are a bit like bunnies, they keep on multiplying. Or if you can't relate to that one, think of how hard it is to stop at just one potato chip!! Ha ha ha! You are really done for now Jackie!!
    Big hugs,

    1. Well, your adorable little Pukifee's sure helped to push me over the edge! Still trying to find her perfect look, but that is a lot of the fun of it. This size is really so nice to handle, and the Fairyland dolls are engineered SO well.
