 Whut the whut???
We all recognize the center girl, that's the Pipi Carat girl, Neemo,
but... Pico Neemo version on the right?
And TOTAL MYSTERY HUGE HEAD VERSION on the left????

No idea what the doll on the left is (other than Ms. Neemo in another form)
Will they be releasing more like her?
Is she the start of a new line?
Who knows.
Who knows. *shakes head*

Figma #143 Yuzuriha Inori

I'm not going to lie,

I'm in love with this character's design,

but other than that,

know absolutely nothing about

Yuzuriha Inori from Guilty Crown.

I've never seen the show, don't have a clue what it's about...

and yet, I'm repeatedly drawn to this character.

Her Pink, gradient hair, her pink/orange color scheme, her bird-like motif

she's just cute.

She makes me think of a Phoenix.

Here are her extras:

 

Does this ever happen to any of you?

Are you drawn in by a character's image,

without knowing anything about the character itself?

Time for confession #2:

This is how I buy ALL of my figma.

I see a character design that I like,

I buy it.

I have yet to buy a figma based on the fact that

I *really* love the anime it's from.

Instead, I often buy the figure,

and then seek out the anime.

This particular figma I had resisted when she was first listed.

No idea why... I think I was trying to be responsible.

But then, just the other day, I saw she was back in stock...

someone must have not paid for their order...

so I snapped her up.

I do not regret it,

she's a great figma.

Excellent posing, 

each of her skirt tails are jointed,

and she's adorable.

I'm pretty sure I'll never bother trying to watch the anime she's from...

but that's fine with me.

I enjoy imagining her as some outer space diva

(the open mouth she comes with looks like it's singing to me)

She makes me think of RahXephon (an anime I have watched, lol)...

so that's where my mind categorizes her.

Friday Azone Update

  Time for Friday's Azone Update!

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
 
Wonderfest 2013 brings us
plenty of Neemo News!

 ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

~~~1/12 Scale~~~

For those anxiously awaiting more Picco Neemo news,
the time has finally come!

First up,
there was a trio of gals with plastic hair,
that seemed to be released in Wonderfest exclusive bundles
for roughly $40 each:

You can see them above standing next to Koron and Aika,
the previously released Picco Neemos.

 If any of my readers out there can read the characters on these posters
and wish to elaborate, please do! :)

Aren't they cuties? XD
As far as any plans to mass release these girls, I have no idea.

•••

They're also expanding the Picco Neemo Ex Cute world!
They had on display the following two girls:

Romantic Girly Chiika and Angelic Sigh Lien. 
They are slated for a 2013 release,
and will cost about $70 USD.

•••
 
The final 1/12 scale girl is this gal:

who is really bugging the heck out of me,
because I feel like I should recognize her.
If anyone knows who she is, lemme know!!
She is slated for a 2014 release.

Well, I guess it's time to reveal what an uninformed dope I am

when it comes to the world of anime...

I have no idea who this girl is... do you?
**Thanks to Galvatim for the following info!**
 The following girl is:

Reinforce Zwei from Nanoha

She's cute as a button, though (look at those fun little gloved hands!)
and is slated for a December 2013/January 2014 release date.

 ~~~1/6 Scale~~~

Next up is Pure Neemo News!

 The next girl I don't recognize is this gal:

I'm assuming she's from the Love Love? anime... which I know very little about.

She'll be released December 2013 for about $126 USD.

•••

 

Next up is an addition to the Forest Girl Series (Series 9)

that I'm happy to say, I don't want!

Please meet Black Lolita Aika and Bordeaux Lolita Aika.

Both of them are considered to be part of the Forest Girl Series (Series 9)...

which is entirely baffling to me,

since the Forest Girl series is all about Mori style fashion.

Where did these Lolita kitties come from?

How does this even connect to Series 9 at all?

I have no idea.

She will be DS (limited) only, both versions,
so you'll need to use a shopping service to order her.
She will be released on August 10th, 2013
Price: roughly $120 

••• They are also mentioning a selling of the Pure Neemo XS Boy body,
happening in August...

I'm hoping it's available through places like www.hlj.com as well!
•••
These next girls are going to be very bad news for my wallet ;_;

First up is the next in the Forest Girl series,

Koron the Bear!

I don't like these girls... BECAUSE I WANT THEM BOTH!!!
How cute is she? And that honeycomb charm? GAH!

I didn't see a release date on Bear Koron,
but it's likely she'll have an August or September release.
She should be roughly $126 USD

•••
 
 Then there's the next Sahra a la Mode collection...
"Sweets a la Mode"
it's like Azone has a direct link to my wallet...

First up is Lycee...
currently I am unsure which is the limited and which is the regular,
but if I had to guess, I'd guess the blue haired girl is the limited...
just based on Azone's penchant for making fantasy hair colors
the limited ones.

These girls have a November 2013 release date,
and should be roughly $126 USD

Blueberry Lycee

ChocoMint Lycee (I LOVE her outfit!)

Next up is Maya,
both of whom are adorable... but man oh man
do I want the pink one 0_0

Cherry Pie Maya

Peach Pie Maya (eeee! I want!!)

•••

Next up is a revamp of Kirino from Oreimo
(see... I know *some* anime.... *weep*)
This girl is interesting, in so far as they seem to have given her
more of a facial sculpt.
I own the original Kirino, who is flat faced like the other Neemo girls...
but this one seems to have a more pronounced nose, and an actual lip bump.

I think she's cute, what do you think?
Release date is currently unknown.

•••

Finally, in the 1/6 realm,
there is the Assault Lily collection.

Azone has had a web page up about these guys for quite some time,
with no product to show... but finally
they have debuted some finished looking pieces!
(and check out the new bodies lurking in the background of one of the photos!

These girls seem to be slated for a September 2013 Release,
and should cost roughly $89 USD.


 ~~~1/3 Scale~~~

First up are two more girls from the Puella Magi Madoka Magica series:

Kyoko Sakura
No release date yet on this girl, but she'll cost roughly $630 USD

 Homura Akemi
Release date is slated for January 2014.
Cost: Roughly $630 USD

•••

Next up is Jubei? (Is this right? Am I making this up?)

She's slated for a December 2013 release
and will be roughly $500 USD

•••
 Next up is Nanoha

I'm unsure of her release date and cost,
although to assume she'd be in the $600 USD range isn't out of line.
•••
There's this girl...
Charlotte Dunois
(read more about her here: http://infinite-stratos.wikia.com/wiki/Charlotte_Dunois)
evidently from an anime called 

Infinite Stratos

Not sure on a release date or price tag on this girl as of yet.
••• 

Finally,
Azone is releasing a special Halloween version of their
character doll,
Lilia

I'm unsure of a release date... but...
wouldn't logic dictate it would be near Halloween? XD

Friday Azone Update

Time for Friday's Azone Update!

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Azone has announced 2 new dolls!

First up:

©Azone

Tsugumi SHIRASAKI from the (adult game??)
Daitoshokan no Hitsujikai

which, according to Google Translate,

roughly means: Shepard of the Large Library

She is a 1/3 scale doll (Like Dollfie Dreams or SD sized BJDs)

Now, I'm just guessing that this is some sort of dating sim type game, or something along those lines... because the Azone page for this doll is filled with warnings that the links they've posted are not appropriate for people under the age of 18... which usually denotes something of a sexual nature.

If anyone knows more about this particular title, please share!

Regardless, the doll is pretty cute (although I hate imagining terrible things happening to her):

 

©Azone

Reservations start May 29th

Price:  ¥ 48,000 (roughly $480 USD)

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Second:

Despite its naughtier sounding name, 

the anime that the next girl comes from seems to be more of a Shojo

romantic comedy... definitely more innocent than the poor girl above.

©Azone

Tsukiko Tsutsukakushi from

The 'Hentai' Prince and the Stony Cat

seems to be a girl who has lost her emotions after a run in with

"The Stony Cat" (I'm guessing it also is her nickname)... at least, that's all I can gather online.

If anyone knows more about this, please let me know! 

She is a 1/6 scale doll (Like Barbies, Pure Neemos, Momoko, Misaki, FR, etc (although a bit shorter than the Fashion Dolls))

Reservations start May 31st
