Best Selection Cute:
Classic Alice Chershire cat AIKA (Regular Version), Classic Alice Chershire cat AIKA (Alternate Mouth Version)

The latest series (10) seems to be choosing from past releases, so Chesire Cat Aika was the winner as people's favorite Aika... but I'm not sure if they're including every version ever made (Like, was Kinoko Juice Chiika one of the Chiika choices when people voted?) So it'll be interesting to see what we get in this series.

Azone Friday Update

Time for Friday's Azone Update!

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

A new Pure Neemo gal joins the fold,
Series 10 for the Pure Neemos has begun,
and some 1/3 fun

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

· . . · ° ° ·. . · °★ ° ·. . · ° ° ·. . ·

Introducing Mio!
The adorable older sister of Mia and Miu, Mio is on the M body, but with a larger LL bust.

Preorder Starts: April 22nd
Price: $110

This one is the Normal Version:
OMG, those boots!

I love how much she looks like the forest girl Miu and Mia!

She is reaching out, asking me to take her home.
Yes, Mio, yes I will bring you home!

This is the LIMITED Direct Store Version of Mio.
She is very, very cute, but I'm really happy I like the Normal version better.

But she is awfully cute!




Series 10!

So, evidently series 10 is going to be made up of past released girls, the ones people have voted their favorite (which... I kind of feel leaves certain Neemos, like Raili, with very few options!)

Aika
"Ex ☆Cute Best Selection"


aika_10th_001

The winner of the "popularity vote" for Aika was
"Classic Alice Chershire cat AIKA"
This time around you will have two faces to choose from though!

Order Period: 4/24/2014 (Thursday)-5/19 (Monday)
 Now... this gal has an order period... so I'm not sure if we'll see her on preorder,
or if we should be looking into ways to order her from Azone.

I'm suspecting if this series will be an unlimited order during the order period, though,
that we'll see a lot more of these series 10 gals on the aftermarket.

 Price: ¥ 12,000 (Roughly $120 USD)

Ⅲ. BlackRaven postcard present ★

blrn_480 · 640

A cute little commemorative postcard will also be available.

Ⅳ. BlackRaven series comes with doll accessories for sale!

Other Black Raven items will be available as well... but... since it's all in stores,
and I'm more of a Neemo gal anyways, I won't list it all here XD
If you're interested in props like guns and whatnot, for 1/3 scale, though, you might want to keep an eye on Mandarake and Yahoo Japan for anything that might show up.

Gotta catch em' all!

I posted some pictures on Instagram and have quite a few inquiries on
how folks can buy one of their own of these:

Kinoko: Hi!... I mean, Pika!

I'm talking about the Pikachu outfit, not the doll, XD

Well, I'm more than happy to share the info!
And I hope it generates a lot of business for the gal, because this little outfit is SO cute and soft!
I felt this piece was totally affordable as well.
(I'm not going to say how much, though, in case she has to figure it differently on a case-by-case basis based on size and where she has to ship to... but it was incredibly reasonable, in my opinion)
It's also high quality and arrived in the time frame she said it would.
It closes with velcro in the front, and has elastic arm and foot holes. 
SO CUTE!

On Instagram, the maker of this awesome outfit goes by the name of
treehousebjd

You can contact her through email (this is how she recommended I contact her when I asked if she made and sold the pikachu outfit)

Her email is:
khkinohaza@hotmail.com

Now for a little review, from the expert:

Pikachu: Pika pi, pika pika, pika pi.

Pikachu: Pika, pika, pika!

Pikachu: Chu.

Kinoko: Uhm, you guys totally understood that, right?

A magnificent repaint artist with a super cute blog!

 I saw this posted on Ms. Alyssa's flickr and had to share...
a *seriously* cute reroot and repaint of a Picco Neemo!


 She went for quite a hefty sum 0_0

This, of course, made me look up her blog... where there are a MILLION friggin cute things!!!

Here's the banner (which you can now find in my sidebar) that you can add to your blog if you want:
http://stjland2.blog.fc2.com/

And the blog site is:

I highly recommend going to die from the squee.
SO CUTE!!!!

Although... through Google Translate, I get the blog name translated as:
The blood was small people on the floor under

which cracks me the heck up... but if someone has a better translation, I'd love to know XD

Adventurer's Club Update!

Hello everyone!!

There is now an Adventurer's Club Blog to post your images to!

I have been trying to figure out a better way to organize the images... since I felt the tab page here would get *really* long, and unruly, really fast...

So with this blog, it will automatically organize it by Month and Year (which you can find in the right hand side bar).

Now... I am testing out my ability to invite you guys as "authors" to the blog... that would allow you to just post your own adventures directly!

But you have to have a blogger registered email address, otherwise I can't invite you...
and I know not everyone wants to do that,
so I'll still take email and flickr entries, and add those myself.

Sooooo... anyone with a blogger account who wants to have author access... just message me with your blogger linked email addy and I'll add you!
(you can email me at littlebearries@yahoo.com )

I'm hoping this will make things easier for folks!

The Adventurer's Club tab on this blog will still be a direct link to the club blog and the flickr site!
