The black box had the MNF hands I forgot I had ordered, and the tan clenching hands!

No offence to anyone who likes this mold, but that picture really freaks me out.

Do the pukipuki boxes come in other colors besides red? Both my girls have red boxes!

Certificate! I removed the number, not sure if it matters if I share it or not, but best to be safe I guess

I love that the dolls often look terrified when I open up the box :P Tan Ruby was not an exception, lol ^^

Isn't she a lovely little thing? She has some sanding marks here and there, to be expected with tan dolls

Welcome home little one :D

I’m just really, really happy right now. As I mentioned, she has some sanding marks here and there, especially on top of her head, her knees, and the backside of her thighs, but they really aren’t bad at all. So far I can’t see anything wrong with her, she is strung nicely and is just adorable. As you can see, I did not finish her wig 😛 So she had to use a fake fur one instead. The glue I was using for the second wig was a mess, and it did not look good. It wasn’t so bad after all because the color wasn’t right for her anyways.
I doubt I’ll start her faceup today, I may need to do some research first to see what others have done to tan dolls, just to see what I like and what I don’t. I’m also in desperate need of 6mm eyes with “big” pupils. NS Ruby is wearing 8mm and they are really too big for her (and have a normal dome, might have fitted better with flat), tan Ruby is wearing 6mm but one of the pupils is off center and it’s driving me nuts. They have a nice pupil size though.
I just had a look at my dollies and realised that I have a whopping 7 dolls at home! I never thought I’d get this many again, lol ^^
