Ripo-chan??

Who’s Ripo-chan?

Let’s step into the time machine and go back to the year 2009 when Azone released the Pipi -> Carat series.

Time Travel Begins

The Pipi -> Carat series consisted of 3 school girls: Repo-chan, Ripo-chan and Neemo-chan.

They made 2 official appearances in 2009 & 2010 with a few pop-ups now and then at events

End of Time Travel

We’re back. That was fun!

With that brief look at Pipi -> Carat let’s get back to the 10th Anniversary Coordinated Doll.

Coordination Dolls feature the head of a past Azone original doll wearing an outfit set. These are great dolls for those new to the doll hobby.

Ripo-chan is wearing the Meow x Meow a la mode outfit first worn by EX-Cute Mia.

Who do you think wears it better?

Fans can claim Ripo-chan at the Osaka Labelshop & Azonet beginning February 24.
