   Hi!

   I’m really tempted but I have already reach the limit of my budget for dolls with Happiness Clover Mocha… It’s a dilemma -_-‘ One side of me says “no. You already have the original Mermaid Minami and she gets the same dress as Alice’s Tea Party Raili in a different color” and the other side claims “but she is so cute!”… I must resist to the temptation! I must resist but it’s so hard T_T Well… It may be heartbreaking but I have to pass my turn this time…

     Hi Anne-Sophie,

     I understand.

     For me it’s like having a dolly on one shoulder saying “buy me, you know you want to” while on the other shoulder you have a dolly saying “it’s okay to pass on this one. You can resist the temptation this round.”

     But I’m sure you’re heartbreak won’t last too long especially since you have the support of many beautiful girls/boys already in your collection so far.

     You’re collection is awesome 🙂

     Thanks for commenting,

   I’m so torn because I love everything about this Minami but her face screening! Now half of all the Minami dolls they’ve ever released have the Mermaid Princess face. They really need to put it to rest and move on. If they had done something new, I would have snatched her up so fast, but perhaps I should be thankful that my wallet gets a break.

     Hi Robyn,

     OMG, you’re so right!

     Someone at Azone must’ve fallen head over heels in love with this version of Minami’s face design.

     That’s so funny. Thank you for pointing that.

     With all these Minami releases, I’ve forgotten what her original face looked like.

     I’m with you . . . giving thanks that the wallet gets a break 😉

     Robyn, I appreciate you taking the time to add your voice to the conversation.

   Is Fabric Friends and Dolls reliable? Their prices are really awesome.

     Hi Wendy,

     We haven’t personally shopped with Fabric Friends and Dolls before.

     After doing a quick search, many BJD collectors give praise to their service and products.

     Here’s a recent YouTube video tour of their physical store.

     They accept PayPal.

     Hopefully, nothing will go wrong but if so you’ll have PayPal’s buyer protection.

     If you decide to order from Fabric Friends and Dolls please come back and share your shopping experience with us.

     Thanks for your question.

   I wish! Sadly no… Why must she be Japan only? Azone International’s site isn’t UK friendly, I’ve tried in the past, but it rejects my details, and, they wont reply to my emails :(. Guess I’ll be scouring the used market…

     I agree, they should open an international online store like PetWORKs did. That way they could get the most from more collectors with minimum expenses and more profits.

     I like that doll hair and eyes color combination, but not a fan of the dress’ color (I just don’t like pink anymore as I used too when I was a kid:P).

       Hi Anonym,

       You bring up a good point. I wonder why Azone hasn’t created an international shop.

       PetWORKs, Junie Moon and Groove have them for their international fans.

       Hmm, maybe they thought about it but got scared.

       I can relate to once liking something in the past but now not so much.

       I’m experiencing that with the color purple. I use to love that color but now not so much 😮

       That’s strange how that happens.

       Thank you for taking the time to add your voice to the Alice’s Tea Party Alice Minami Kanihoru × nico conversation.

     Hi John,

     Unfortunately, Azone only accepts orders from Japan.

     You’ll need to use a proxy services like From Japan to place orders on Azone site for you.

     There are 2 Azone dealers in North America who ship worldwide.

     You may want to try them to bring Alice’s Tea Party Alice Minami Kanihoru × nico home.

     There’s TASINA.

     She hasn’t posted Minami, yet but keep an eye on her Facebook page for updates.

     We’ve purchased from TASINA’s before and she’s delivered on every doll we’ve ordered.

     There’s also a new Azone dealer, Fabric Friends and Dolls.

     They have Alice’s Tea Party Alice Minami Kanihoru × nico to buy now.

     I hope you’re able to bring Minami home.

     Thanks for stopping by and chatting with us about Alice’s Tea Party Alice Minami Kanihoru × nico 🙂

       Cheers 🙂 I’ll wait tho’. N’Am’ is no good for UK …(postage !!!!!! >.<). One will turn up used with no box/ clothes etc (they're of no use to me) which will help keep her affordable too 🙂

         Hi John,

         Oh yes, shipping.

         That’s always a concern of mine too when it come to ordering from shops in Japan.

         Shipping cost me anywhere between $20-$40.

         How much does shipping cost you for a doll the size of an Azone?

         Fabric Friends and Dolls has shipping for about $25 to the UK.

         Not sure what TASINA charges.

         I’m sure with a bit of patience Minami will turn up at the price & shipping you want.

         I’ll be rooting for you and Minami 🙂

         Best of luck,
         Tatyana

           Hi Tatyana

           P+P from Japan is fine, I always use SAL, approx £7-£8 normally. But from the U.S. … double or treble that >.< . And thankyou
           🙂 I'm sure one will turn up (Just got a Sahra 'Twinkle' Rose Quartz, Direct Store Ltd for £43 all-inc' , :D, so patience… 🙂 )

           Hi John,

           Thank you for sharing how much you paid for postage.

           Wow, you got a great deal on Twinkle a la mode Rose Quartz Sahra Direct Store version 🙂

           Thanks to your comment, on how you waited for Sahra and got her at such a great price, I’m going to adopt your attitude of patience.

           We appreciate you sharing your shopping wisdom with us all ^-^
