News: May 2008 Archives

The magical mystery girl pictured at Gina's, and mentioned here in the Rumours section, is a reality!

Peony is a special CWC Limited Edition NEO.

This Prima Dolly is dressed at a girl in her pajamas, just before she is getting ready to go out.

She is wearing a lovely pink pajama top with white polka dots on it, and has a
pink bob haircut.Her face type is radiance, and her skin color is natural skin.

Price: ¥7,875
Limited Edition of 1000 dolls

This is the cheapest Limited Edition Neo ever produced.

Sneak pics of the new Anniversary girls have emerged on JM's website. Unfortunately only tiny, so no real detail to be gleaned from these.

Following on from the NEO My Best Friend (MBF) released not that long ago, CWC/Tomy Takara are bringing out the Petite version.





At only ¥21,00 (AUD$22.00 approx), that's a steal! Released date is June 6, 2008.

Now available for purchase at CWC and special Blythe Stores, last year's Beauty Contest winner, Precocious Candy Mushroom.




This beautiful redhead was a natural choice, and personally I love her.

¥14,490 (approx AUD$150.00). See Blythedoll.com for purchase information.

I'm not so sure about the "sexy" but I sure did laugh! Great advert.

This year's Anniversay Blythe is not one, but five new girls! Two NEOs and three Petites.

Based around a fairy tale, the Denizens of the Lake hold a special significance. Christina the Bride is based on Jam Fancy, our very own Australian star. Christina was part of design team, Team Sibley, who won the 2006 Beauty Competition with Gentle River, which was later produced as a beautiful Limited Edition NEO.

Christina has worked closely with Junie Moon and CWC, and this year they have honoured her by creating a doll named after her. The release happens to coincide with a Very Special Event in Christina's life happening in Japan this year (sorry, can't post details without permission!).

Denizens of the Lake are a wonderful twist to the standard Anniversary Editions of Blythe, with such effort and styling put into creating a truely epic tale of love and fantasy.

All dolls are a limited release of 1004 units each style. Information on how to purchase to be released later.


Christina The Bride ¥27,300



Eleanor The Forest Dancer ¥27,300



Suzie Sugar in Pink and Green ¥39,90


Lily Wild ¥3,990

From Japanese designer, Hiroshi Sasagawa, these animal book dividers are a great addition to any bookcase. I love them to bits, but I simply can't read Japanese, therefore they will not be coming to my home. Bummer.




Animal index available from Shop H Concept.

Such a cutey, Peppermint Bunny will be a limited release of 500 dolls. It's funny, because I actually have those exact heart shaped beads (glass) in my stash in both pale pink and pale blue!

She's rather a pretty little thing, and even though I generally don't collect Petites, she has really caught my eye.

She's only ¥2,625 (around AUD$27.00). Release Date to be announced

Today I added the ability for you to search J-List directly from here.

J-List offers an abundance of goodies from Japan, including Blythe, Dolly Dolly, ReMent and a whole bunch more.

I've been using J-list for ages, because they have pre-order and great pricing. I hope you have as much fun shopping with them as I do!

CWC have posted the release photos of Cancan Cat, and I must say, she is even prettier than the drawings!




If purchasing direct from CWC, she will be a mere AUD$103.00. Pre-ordering around the traps has her as low as USD$89.00 before postage.

What a steal!

Gosh, I've been so busy creating the new shop, and taking stock photos that I forgot to post an update!

Right now, we have a heap of eyechips, buttons, zips and other goodies in stock, but no shop front to list them!

With the rise in PayPal fees, the broken Australia Post shipping doohicky and a lack of time, it's meant the re-launch of the shop is pushed back a little.

In the meantime, don't hesitate to contact me if there is anything you would like!
