The Azone family grows...

"Not many new dolls during this year" goal is going quite badly ^^; Me and Sarg will be getting some new additions to our Azone family, so I wanted to write a post about them...

I've been hunting for a Picconeemo Koron... I've seen many for sale, but they've all been over €100 :/ It's not necessarily a bad price, but I've been hesitant to pay that much since it hasn't been long since she was still in stock at Amiami (and of course I didn't order her when I had the chance, stupid me) and many Pureneemos can be cheaper/for the same price... I was checking Azone's shop to see if they still had a Picconeemo sized school uniform in stock (they didn't) and then noticed that it was still possible to order Koron from their shop O_o I have no idea why it didn't occur to me earlier to check their shop...

So, I placed an order through Celga's shopping service and will soon get my third Picco girl :3 I also ordered XS body for Mimori and some clothing. Super excited! ♥ Koron will most likely be named Rin, though I'm still going through other options  as well. She was the last must-have from the Picconeemos released so far, so now I can just wait if Azone releases some new ones!

Also, Sarg is going to get her second Pureneemo girl, Bambi-chan Raili ♥ We noticed her on Ebay for a low starting price and decided to try bidding... At first it seemed that the prize was going to rise very high and we were outbid again and again, but later we received a notification that there had been a bid cancellation and we were the highest bidder again! They had placed a maximum bid of $237, lol... So glad that they cancelled their bid. We both anxiously stalked the auction page in the last minutes, but luckily there wasn't any competition or attempt to snipe anymore XD Sarg already decided on a name for sweet Raili, she's going to be Harumi-chan~ Harumi is going to be a miniature version of Sarg's Ophelia (Soom Heliot girl), who is a chocolate reindeer! Sarg is going to make Harumi cute deer horns and ears~ ;3;

Miyu's reactions.. XD Big moment for a small Neemo

Sarg also pre-ordered Hello KIKIPOP! Kiki, this pink-haired version *w* We've both been admiring Kinoko Juice dolls afar, but never really thought we'd get one due to them being so hard to get... Until they decided to co-operate with Azone and create this cutie pie ♥ The price was not bad considering that Kiki is made of resin and Sarg didn't want to let this great opportunity pass. This doll will most likely star in some BJD photos and get her own photo sessions too, she'll be a mascot of some sort XD We think Kiki will bring nice variety to our collection of BJDs and Azones, being a sort of an in-between of those two!

Kiki still doesn't have a name or anything, but she won't be released until late summer/autumn so there's no hurry. We're looking forward to seeing how she looks IRL~

    Niin paljon ihanuuksia! ><! Raili on aina ollut myös yksi minun lemppareistani ja Harumi kuulostaa ihanalta nimeltä. Ja vielä Kinoko Juicen nuksu tulossa sinne! Vaadin kuva spämmiä :D

      Kiitoksia! ♥ Raili (etenkin tämä Bambi-versio) taitaa olla Sarkun lemppari heti Miun jälkeen ja itekin tykkään kovasti, joten ei voitu vastustaa~

      Eiköhän Kikistäkin tule paljon kuvia, parhaiten varmaan löytää Sarkun Devasta kun hänen nuksu kuitenkin on :3 Mutta postailen aina välillä tännekin!

    Ohh, you seem to be experiencing a bit of an Azone-fever, aren't you? :D
    Lovely new purchases and how lucky about that auction! Can't wait to see your pictures of them!

    Wow, that Kinoko Juice/Azone collaboration doll is soooo cute, I'm actually considering if I should get one myself.... I've wanted a Kinoko Juice doll too and this would be an easy way to get one! It's just that right now I'm having my "I'm more into male dollies"-phase so I wonder if I should get one or just keep the money and use it to other dolls... *sigh*

      Hahah weeeell maybe X'D Somehow Azones have started to fill the house now that we don't really have many BJD purchases to make... But thank you!! I'll surely be posting a lot of pictures ^^

      If you're even considering getting Kiki, I recommend that you do since this really is a rare chance to get one! I bet that the second-hand prices will raise a lot, so I don't want you to end up regretting later if you don't purchase her now :/ It's a bit like Soom's dolls feel most of the time, "now or never" lol... Please do consider it really carefully!!

      I do understand the phase you're having, I'm currently in such an Azone mood and feel bad for my small BJDs since it feels like they're not getting any attention right now ; . ; But I know that I'll always love all the dolls I have and the time will come when I want to play with my yo-SDs and tinies!

    Congrats on all the new orders! I have always loved that Bambi Raili myself but have not been able to find her at the right price if she even appears at all.

    I did see those KIKIPOP dolls. I must be living under a rock as I had no idea who/what Kinoko Juice was. Are they bjds?

      Thank you! ^^ We got really lucky with that Bambi Raili... I saw a few on Yahoo Japan recently too, though I'm not sure how high the prices ended up being at the end of the auctions.

      Yes Kinoko Juice is a small BJD company, they have a website here :3 Their dolls have been really hard to get if you're not in Japan, so the second-hand prices tend to be like $800-1000 o_o It made many people happy that they started to co-work with Azone, hopefully there'll be more KIKIPOP releases in the future!

    I can't wait to see her when she arrives. I can at least enjoy her through your blog.

    Thanks for the website. I can see why people like those dolls. The Jill sculpt is super adorable.

    Oh I so beg you to apam that Kiki once it arrives! I have bewn on the edge about ordering that cutiepie, but in the end I think I will pass on it myself. I think I mostly want it because of the hype. It is a very cute doll and I'm sure it will look even cuter at the hands of you two, but I think it'd go neglected by me. So I'll just be content looking at pretty pictures of this doll :)

      I'll tell that to Sarqq ;) I'm sure she'll take lots of pics once lil Kiki gets here and I can post some on this blog too~ She probably won't be that different from the "default" look, as she'll be more like a cute mascot than a carefully planned character :3 But yeah, it's nice that you don't always need to buy everything yourself and you can enjoy looking at other people's photos instead ♥ (Like I used to dream of Volks Souseiseki and Lorina, but realized that they're not for me, so I'll just stick with admiring them in owner pictures, like yours!)
