    Just in time for Christmas, Junie Moon announce a Toys R’ Us exclusive Neo Blythe.

    TRU Exclusive Stella Savannah

    TRU Exclusive Stella Savannah

    Stella Savannah is a bit of a literary buff, and likes to write mystery novels. She’s dressed head to two in perfectly proper attire, and best yet – those fantastically hard to get platform Mary Janes that first appeared on Momolita Ultimate Tour are included!

    She’s going to be pricey though – with a suggested retail of 15,540 yen – and hard to get, being a TRU Exclusive to Japan only.

    Perhaps us plebs will get a lottery?

    “Stella Savannah” wears a frilly white blouse with tartan jumper skirt.
    The dress has a waist marked with 2 little buttons.
    Her wine-red velvet cape has a big collar and frills at the trim.
    The hat is matched with the cape.
    The heart-shaped brim and brown velvet ribbon around the hat add a lovel accent.
    Inside of the hat there is a comb, so that it stays on the head easily.
    Her hair is pink straight long with bangs.
    For the shoes she selected a high-heel black strap shoes and white lacy stockings to match the shoes.
    Her makeup is a brown eye shadow with pink blush and lips.
    Her face type is Radiance, and skin type is Natural.

    Hello Kitty turns 35 this year, and to celebrate, Sanrio and Junie Moon have gotten together to create ‘Ribonetta Wish’ – Hello Kitty Blythe.

    You can tell a new release is going to be popular when every single Blythe collector on flickr has uploaded the promo sketch to their account.

    With only a very limited release of 3,000 – I think Hello Kitty Blythe is going to be harder to get than Doronjo X Blythe and Momolita Blythe were put together.

    Can you say inflation? Get yourself in line for the lottery, and pad your retirement fund with Hello Kitty Blythe – probably already worth five times her listed release price, and she doesn’t arrive until December 2009.

    Hello Kitty Blythe - Ribonetta Wish

    Hello Kitty Blythe - Ribonetta Wish

    “Ribboneta Wish” is the name of this special doll created to celebrate Hello Kitty’s 35th anniversary.
    Bows in five colors beautifully accent her dress and hair.
    Red is for friendship, pink is for cuteness, yellow for happiness, green is for wishes coming true and lavender for sweetness.
    She is a doll with the precious message from Hello Kitty.
    May your world become bright and beautiful!

    “Ribonneta Wish” wears a light pink dress with bows and a lovely bolero with dots.
    The dress features pink pearl beads and ribbons in Hello Kitty’s five colors at the waist and hem.
    The strap of the halter dress has has a bow behind the neck, the magenta bolero has a polka dot and puff sleeves.
    The “Hello Kitty” face is printed on a cute white handbag which features a pearl-bead handle.
    Her shoes are magenta and made from a new mold with high heels for a mature style.
    Her subtly permed hair is reddish brown with bangs and two ponytails with big bows on both sides.
    Her make-up is all shades of pink. Special colored eye chips are used for all of the eyes with Hello Kitty’s symbolic bow embedded in the irises.
    Her face type is Radiance, and skin type is Fair.

    Please look forward to the final design announcement of CWC Exclusive Neo Blythe, “Ribonetta Wish,” the dream collaboration between Blythe and Hello Kitty!

    Ages ago, I started a group of Flickr to address the issue of photos being used without permission, mainly to create goods for sale on places like eBay, Etsy and Oztion.

    This group has proven popular, and has helped shut down many manufacturers who were producing unlicenced Blythe products, using stolen imagery.

    Recently, Blythe doll itself has been “cloned” and been released en mass via auction and sale sites around the world.

    These low quality counterfeits are also low priced, so very tempting to many people as a cheap fix to their Blythe addiction.

    I understand this, I do. I was very tempted myself, but my concience would not allow me to contribute to the theft of a name I love.

    I cannot stress enough to anyone thinking about purchasing a counterfeit item how it will eventually ruin the Blythe community.

    How will you know if that second hand Blythe is actually a Blythe, and not a clone or replica?

    How do you know that custom Blythe wasn’t made with cheap, inferior, replica parts?

    How will a small business like Junie Moon (the legal licensee in Japan and Asia) be able to compete against cheaper mass produced counterfeited goods?

    If you wouldn’t like your own work being duplicated and sold off, your reputation diminished due to the poor quality items with your name all over them being traded, then hopefully you understand my position.

    I recently posted on the Flickr photostream of someone who purchased an entire range of one brand of counterfeit, and said I was disappointed to find someone who is a passionate collector contributing to this black market industry.

    The comments were not intended to be personal, only to highlight an issue that can only bring about the demise of Blythe as we know her.
