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!

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

 

For all you Madoka fans, Homura is up for order here:

http://www.hlj.com/product/AZNHAC632HOM/Dol 

for ¥57,000 

(roughly $570 USD)

 

 

 

And another girl in the Black Raven series is soon to be released: 

 

Amane  

 

Here is the translation Google gave me of their Amane flavor text:

Name of her dressed in costume shaman is "heaven sound (I bitch)"
She is the incarnation of the fox, those who live to protect the company law from ancient times.
Tonight nobody had kept watch over gently the city spread out below the heaven sound.
Then, master magic withdrawal of two people from entering the field of view suddenly.
Two people who came to be guided to the voice of heaven sound when singing.
World of each other cross each other,
Fate of the girls start big move! 

 

Haha! 

 

The lighter haired one is the normal version,

the darker haired girl is "DS" or direct from store only (meaning you can only buy her in Japan)

 

 Preorder begins November 7th, 2013

They'll be ¥43,000 (roughly $430 USD)

[Such a Doll] [ Mahō Shōjo Madoka Magika | Kaname Madoka ] (school uniform)

Twig again... please don't hate me!

I've been here several times these last few weeks... more than anyone else... I think the other girls might be getting a little jealous. It's making me nervous!

Anyways, it's new doll time again!

You might have seen her around already, but I'd like to introduce you to Madoka, her official name is:

[ Mahō Shōjo Madoka Magika | Kaname Madoka ] (school uniform)

She is still available for purchase at places like Hobbylink Japan (www.hlj.com)

for about $180 USD shipped via EMS...

and trust me, you want EMS shipping.
[[Click here for a direct link to Madoka]]

I think she's still around because she's a little pricey compared to non-character dolls... but she's so cute (and so nice!) that, in my opinion, she's worth the extra dollars.

Here she is in her box, unopened:

Twig: *taptaptap* Hello, Madoka!

Her box was made of cardboard, which is not the usual for Pure Neemos. They usually come in quite the stylish plastic box. This box WAS shiny, however, and had holographic type on it:

Twig: Oooh, magical type!

All Pure Neemos come nestled into molded plastic that is shaped to hold them tight, with another molded plastic cover taped down over them. I hear it makes for a very comfortable trip.

However, unlike every other Pure Neemo that has ever arrived here, Madoka was the only one to show up without a "Pure Neemo Care" manual, or information booklet on that specific Pure Neemo.

Hmm, wonder why?

Twig: I'll get you out quick, Madoka! Don't worry!!

This Madoka comes dressed in her school uniform, which, in terms of Pure Neemo outfits, is neither the best nor most exciting. Don't get me wrong, the quality of the outfit is great, and I'm sure the skirt will be very useful for mixing and matching, but I was a little annoyed at how the big red bow was sewn onto the white shirt. 

Usually, Pure Neemo bows and neckties are separate, with a little hook in the back, so you can use them with any outfit... but not Madoka's big red bow, it's sewn directly onto the shirt. :(

Madoka comes with Kyubey (the show's magical mascot), extra hands and red bows for her hair.

The red bows are awesome, because they snap on, making them really easy to put on and take off, and then they won't become untied.

Madoka: Let's not let him out, ok?

Overall, I'm really thrilled to meet Madoka, and super happy that she's going to be living here now. She's so cute with her pink hair and stylized eyes. :)

The only major difference between her and the promo pics is her hair, which is not as stylized and messy when she gets to you. That can probably be fixed with some minor styling though!
