Maleficent – A Disney Villain’s Doll

Tuesday, September 11th, 2012

Yesterday the first of the dolls from the Disney Villain’s collection was being released: Maleficent. I made my adventure to the local Disney Store in anticipation for the event. Each store selected received a limited amount of dolls, so I had to put my name into a caldron in hopes of being chosen for a chance to purchase her. While I waited around for the appointed time for names to be drawn I browsed around a bit and snapped a few pictures of the lovely new display of Villain’s merchandise.

Seeing all of the dolls in person was a real treat since I’ve only seen pictures up this point. I think I definitely want to try for the Evil Queen and Cruella when it’s their turn to be released.

Summers New Dress – A Bonding Attempt

Friday, August 17th, 2012

I have had Summer for quiet some time now, but have had issues with being able to bond with her. So much in fact that I have kept another Azone girl in her box for quiet some time now, hesitant to open her until I am really sure Azone dolls are for me. Today I decided to just change her outfit completely and see if perhaps I would get lucky and that would strike a fancy with me.

I wanted to take some quick snaps to see how she would take to the camera, so no fancy setups here. I just plunked her into a sunbeam on the floor and started snapping away.

So now she is sporting a new frock, stockings and accessories from Azone plus random shoes which I forget where they are from at this moment. I do believe I like her so much better now!

Introducing: Azone Summer Melody

Friday, September 16th, 2011

At last it’s time for me to show you photo’s of my newest girl! She is my first Azone doll actually, it is Sahra Summer Melody! I’m really thinking of just calling her Summer for short. :3

Now I will have to say that her new body type is taking some getting used to for me. I was expecting it to act more like a Pullip body, but it really doesn’t. I guess really there are two things about the arms specifically that bother me. There is a split in the upper arm which let’s it rotate. This split doesn’t stay firmly closed but gaps which really bothers me, she will definitely have to keep some kind of little top on so those stay covered. You can see this in some of the photo’s below.

The other is the limited mobility of this type of arm jointing. She can not touch her face or pose with what I call “airplane arms”, which are both arms held straight out at shoulder level. Now maybe I am just really spoiled by being used to the Pullip body, time will just have to tell.

My girl didn’t come with any extra hands, which I had thought she would since so many of the other PureNeemo’s DO come with extra posing hands. ;_; I sure hope the Madoka girls come with some, at least then they can share.

Hanging out in Suzume’s Room

Thursday, September 1st, 2011

Grabbed a few shots of my fluffy girls Suzume and Sachiko hanging out in Suzume’s room. I can only imagine what the conversation must be about. XD

Suzume is just relaxing on her bed, arms full of her favorite stuffed friend with a glass of strawberry milk close at hand.

Seems like Sachiko is going to work on improving her hand sewing skills. Now if she can just figure out what she did with her sewing hoop she could get started.

Doll Family Group Photo

Friday, August 26th, 2011

It has been since last December that I have taken a group photo of all of my dolls, thus a new one was long over due as a few fresh faces have arrived. I thought I could toss this all together on Wednesday but I lost the light of the day (ugh, shortening days!) and thus had to wait till Thursday’s fog lifted to actually get the job done.

I’m not sure how I’m going to handle getting this done when I have a few taller guys, maybe split BJD and fashion dolls into separate photo’s? Definitely going to have to think this one through when December rolls around and I’ll probably want to do this again.

Arrival: Dal Fiori

Thursday, August 25th, 2011

I first saw little Fiori at a doll meet last December and was really enamored with her, but didn’t know her make name. Ever since then I have been keeping an eye out for her as a full set, I adore her outfit and especially her small doll.

Monday I actually stumbled upon her brand new in the box and the rest is, as they say, history.




And now for some photo’s of my new little cutie, she is SUCH a camera bug! I haven’t decided on a name for her quiet yet. She arrived so fast I haven’t quiet came to a decision on it.

Pullip & Isul Halloween 2011 Release?

Wednesday, August 24th, 2011

I stumbled upon these pictures today of both a Pullip and Isul dressed to the MAX in Halloween themed garments. I’m amazed at how suddenly Isul is getting loads of releases.

Both of these are supposed to be late September releases and will retail for 13,000 yen.

First up is Pullip Banshee.
I adore her eyes and makeup, she really makes me want to find a little Harry Potter school uniform for her with that pointy hat! XD Not really all that crazy about her stock clothes though personally.

Pullip collaboration with Baby, the Stars Shine Bright

Tuesday, August 23rd, 2011

I have to start this out by saying, “It’s about time!” There have been collaborations with Innocent World and on going one’s with Angelic Pretty and I have always wondered when Baby, the Stars Shine Bright was going to jump on the wagon and get to making some tiny clothes for Pullip girls and boys.

From what I can tell these are December 2011 release.

Let me introduce to you at last…Pullip Nerura and Isul Johan!


I found some larger pictures, hurray! :D

Monday, August 22nd, 2011

My Sugary Carnival set arrived a few days ago but I just got around to taking some photo’s today. Keiko is my only Angelic Pretty girl, so she get’s the honor of wearing this new set. One of these days I really do want the lavender version of this print too. :3
