There are new Kuma’s in town! I’m thrilled to announce that there’s a third version of Kuma’s being released in April 2011. The colors are Milk Cream, Chocolate Black and Cinnamon Beige. I’m very fond of the black one.

The price for one of these sweetie pies at Toy & Goods Trading is 10,500 Yen which is about €97 and US$126 at the moment.

I’d love to get a black one, but I still haven’t received my Usagi, so… no pre-order for me this time.

Here are my KUMA set on Flickr. I wish I had my Usagi…

The price for this darling is $148, and if you want extra faceup and body blushing he’ll end up taking $218 from your bank account. You can also buy clothes for him in the shop, but I think he’s cute naked.

Nappy Choo is a chubby ball jointed resin doll that looks just like a Kewpie doll. He reaches 12 cm tall and has molded hair just like the original, but he can wear 4-5 inches wigs.

He comes with 12 mm Soom eyes in a random color, a diaper and swaddling clothes. Faceup and body blushing are optional and cost $70 extra which makes the doll pretty pricy. There have been some complaints about faceplates that don’t fit very well, so the mold might not be as perfect as you could hope for the price you’re paying for him, but most of the Nappy Choo owners love him to bits and don’t mind his flaws.

There’s no other BJD with his proportions and measurements out there at the moment so he’ll definitely stand out in your doll collection unless you’re a pure kewpie doll collector.

I think that Nappy Cho is very appealing because of his proportions and similarities to Kewpie. I’ll use him as a model when sketching chibi characters in my job as an illustrator. But I do find his long arms incredible annoying, but understand that they’re necessary to create a good crawling pose.

The price for this darling is $148, and if you want extra faceup and body blushing he’ll end up snatching $218 from your bank account. You can also buy clothes for him in the shop, but I think he’s cute naked.

He poses very well, and can sit, crawl, stand and wave with his freakishly long arms.

This beautiful Ooak kitchen made by Keera will be on eBay until the 6th of September. The starting bid is $150 and everything in the photographs such as furniture, food and all the little items are included (except for the dolls).

It’s very hard to find items that work perfect with 16 cm dolls such as Lati Yellow (renewal body) and Puki Fee, so this is a rare opportunity.

Secretdoll released a new tiny Baby Fairy BJD called “Dazzle”. There are three versions with the same face mold and body, being:

Type 1) Normal skin, black curly hair and brown eyes
Type 2) Normal skin, blonde, bobbed hair and blue eyes
Type 3) Tanned skin, black curly hair, blue eyes

They are only 10 cm tall and fits great with 1:12 scaled items. The price tag is quite high and the waiting time is quite long. Type 1 and 2 cost $300 and if you want the tanned version you have to add another $30. It takes 6 weeks for them to be made but I’m sure they’re worth both the money and the wait. The outfits are not included, but are available in the store.

Secretdoll are known for making dolls with a lot of personality, attitude and illusion of emotion. They’re a blast to photograph! The double Dazzle owner Suzanne Schmidt says “I have both of these. They pose really well, and I think they are very photogenic”.

Ixdoll released two new dolls to their shop this month. Their names are Mika and Pika and are two vintage looking rabbits. They are 16 cm tall and the head can be detached from the body, and the head, hair, ears and palms are designed to be changeable. The cost for one doll is HKD$1800 and they’re available in the Ixdoll online store for you to order.

I was honored to receive this doll in mid June this year. I painted him and took some photos to upload to my photostream on Flickr. The photo to the left belongs to Tanya and her faceup on her white rabbit is so sweet. I’d never made a faceup before but I did my best using what I had a home.

Story about Mika & Pika

The Molly character is very popular in Tai Wan, Malaysia and Singapore. Its still hard to get a hold of Molly merchandize if you don’t live in Asia, but if you do you can visit the shows and be able to get your hands on anything from a pair of Molly Monster Jeans to a Molly Volkswagen.

There is a chance that Molly could become a BJD in the future because Kenny and IXTEE are friends. Lets hope and pray that it will become a reality!
