Product Review: QMagic Doll

Not too long ago I decided to take a chance and order some
super cute shoes and tights from QMagic Doll on etsy.

https://www.etsy.com/shop/QMagicDoll
Click the QMagic banner to go to their etsy shop!

All of their clothing says it's Blythe size...
but a lot of Blythe stuff will fit Azone Pure Neemos,
so I thought I'd give it a try.

I could not have been happier with the result!

I know a lot of you had seen these shoes in one of my past posts,
and asked about them...
so I figured I'd do a full review, with links to the store!

I had actually ordered two pairs of tights and the shoes...
but in the move, the tights have gone MIA!
So you'll just have to take my word for it when I say the tights fit Azone Pure Neemos
wonderfully, and are SUPER cute!

Now, on to the shoes!


A good pair of red shoes can go a long way,
and QMagic Doll shoes are no exception.

They are exceptionally well crafted.
The tiny design work is adorable!
The stitching is clean, the laces are easy to use and they fit nicely over socks
(even two layers of socks!)


The soles are also lovely... something that is often overlooked, or lackluster when it comes to
such tiny shoes (even Azone will have very plain, foam bottomed shoes)


They are adorable from all angles,
and the dolls can stand in them easily enough!


Seriously, how cute are these???
Shipping was also pretty fast, considering they came from China and weren't shipped EMS.
I will definitely be buying more shoes from them!

If you're interested in picking up a pair of your own,
this particular pair comes in a few different colors:


Buy them here!

These are the tights I bought, as well as some bear tights,
and I love them!

And... here, just for the heck of it,
is the tip of the iceburg on other products I'd love to buy from them!!!

They have quite a lot more when it comes to cute stuff,
though... so go check them out!!

KIKIPOP! Preorder open to International Customers!

Ok, so I'm a little late to the party on this one,
(again, thank you, snow storm!)

Azone has opened up the preorder for their latest collaboration with Kinoko Juice,
KIKIPOP!

The resin versions of these dolls are highly coveted little creatures,
selling for between $900 and $1200...
so the chance to snap one up for considerably less 
has a lot of people really excited!

Now, I keep seeing folks saying that this preorder is running from Feb 2nd - Feb 27th...
but the date I saw on Azone's site was Feb 22nd... 
so I have no idea which one is right.

If I was on the fence and pondering things, I'd make sure to have my preorder in
by the 22nd (Japan time) just to be safe!

They have a cute little honey-pink haired gal, and a cute little marmalade-red haired gal available!

Here are their links on HLJ,
but they have them on AmiAmi and HobbySearch too!

February Adventurers Club!

Sorry for the delay, guys!

A huge weekend blizzard knocked out my internet!
Yay?

 Anyways... here is February's Theme!

True... Love?


Have you ever had an adventure in love?
Perhaps it was a perfect, true love...
or perhaps it was not!

Show us what kind of adventures you've been having!
(erm... if you're going to show something intimate,
keep it no more than PG-13 in rating though, LOL)

Azone Update: Osaka Store's 6th Anniversary Doll

The Osaka store is having it's 6th Anniversary,
and in the tradition of Azone store Anniversaries, 
they will be releasing a special doll to commemorate the event!

She will be a limited release on February 7th, 2015

She is the Normal Version Winter Vacation Mia head
with a new outfit!

It looks like they took the beloved kitty hat and made it into a bunny one for the occasion :)
Plus she has the adorable little bunny purse!
I have this purse,
I love this purse!

She also appears to have another dress...
but thanks to online translations,
I'm not sure if this is just something that comes with her,
or if this is for dolls being sold at places other than Osaka:

 Her price will be 11,000 Yen.

Do you ever take your dolls to work?

If you do, do you have somewhere special on your desk where they sit?

Enchanted Doll Ebay Auction, you've gotta check this out!

I just have to share this link with you guys...

Enchanted Doll is having an ebay auction for her Cinderella...

©Enchanted Dolls/Marina Bychkova


Now, Enchanted Dolls by Marina Bychkova are beautiful.
True works of art,
especially when she makes them one of the full clothing ensembles like this Cinderella gal has...

but man oh man...
there are still 5 and a half days to go,
and she's already been bid up to $40,000!!!

Granted, she started at $10,000...
but still...
this is going to be one of those insane, awesome auctions to watch.

My life would be so much easier if I had $40,000 to spend on ONE doll.
I can only imagine what kind of folks are bidding on this gal.

Hopefully more reliable ones than bid on my $50 dolls on ebay and then say
"Oh wait, no, someone was using my account without my permission."
(I've heard that excuse enough times for me to write it off as total BS now)

My husband and I could each get a new car for $40,000 0_0 
I'm not going to lie, I'm curious to see if this doll sells for more than the price of our house.
 
Anyways,
I think it's seriously worth it to watch this auction,
for the sheer insanity of it all!
 
Plus, if you'd never heard of Marina Bychkova's dolls,
you should really check them out.
They really are works of art!
