 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*

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

Price:  ¥ 12,000 (roughly $120 USD)

Yotsuba eats a lot

All of Yotsuba's "Up North" adventures
seem to have revolved around food this weekend:

Yotsuba: I can have dis coffee?

Yotsuba: You ateses it all! T_T

Me: Uh... I saved you... that piece of bacon... -_-;;

Yotsuba: THIS ONE IS MINE!

Yotsuba: More!

Me: 0_0

 

Pipit's Plan: Part 3

Pipit: Oh, good morning, Heather, my, what a lovely day.

Say... do you know what today is?

Hmmm... I think it's something important... but...

I seem to be forgetting...

Me: Pipit, did you sleep in those clothes?!

Pipit: These ol' things? HA-HA-HA-HA... yes.

Me: Ok, ok, you can go.

Pipit: EEEEE! *scampers off*

Pipit: I gotta put my makeup on!

Me: Ok, just don't take too long!

 Pipit: I'm ready!

Me: 0_0 What IS all that??

Pipit: Acen essentials, money, sustenance... and... uh... where's the Red Bull?

Me: Uh, yeah, there is no Red Bull... don't even think about trying to get some.

Pipit: Okaaaay, but if I fall asleep you'll have to carry me...

Me: As if you were going to walk on your own anyhow... oye.

Pipit: We're quite lucky, it's a lovely day out. The drive should be quite nice.

Me: You're right... I'm glad it's not raining.

So yes, in the end, Pipit wore me down and got to go... and here are a few things she saw:

Pipit: OH WOW! Lookit these ponies! They all bend!! (uh, and some of them cost more than I did)

Pipit: Good Smile Company! Veeeery collectible... I got a Saber Lily figure! (I was trying to get Rin, but no luck ;_; )

Pipit: I stopped by Disjointed Images and had a custom button made of myself (had to document my awesome cosplay, for posterity!)

Pipit: Yay! Thor! He's stepping on Steve's head, hehehehe... 

I think Steve's gonna cry XD

Pipit: Aren't these beautiful stickers?

Pipit: 0_0 Dwarven... Body... Pillow...?

Pipit: I got a cute little seahorse at this booth, where they sold lovely Kimono for dolls!

Pipit: I commissioned an artist to draw me!

Pipit: Here's just a shot of some people... it was very crowded!!!

Pipit: I had to be careful not to get stepped on!

Pipit: But walking all that way was really tough for me.

I saw everything... but...

Pipit: Boy was I tired -_- (so was my little Neemo friend!)

Pipit: I got some really awesome loots though!!!!

Pipit: And a cute little drawing of me in my cosplay! Hehe!

Pipit: And Nyanko~sensei!!!!

Pipit: It was a great day at Acen!

Pipit: A great... crowded day...

Pipit: There was even a chalk artist there making this huge Lupin the Third drawing!

Pipit: But man... by the time we saw everything...

Pipit: I was ready to head home!!
