Is there any additional info on these outfits? https://www.dollyinsider.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Azone-International-dollshow53-819.jpg
I noticed they’re showing in the top banner of the Azone International web shop, but I haven’t actually seen them for sale anywhere!
Hi Cauldy,
Judging from the web catalog, the outfits will probably be posted sometime this month or early June.
Keep a look out at your favorite hobby shops like Hobby Japan or Ami Ami for the outfits 🙂
Tatyana
Hi Cauldy,
The outfits you were interested in are now available for pre-order on Hobby Search and Ami Ami.
Tatyana 🙂
Thanks Tatyana! I’ve actually been stalking Azonet EVERY DAY since the beginning of June so I saw them right away and already have the blue outfit pre-ordered. Now I’ll just need to find a girl to wear them, lol!
Yay, I’m so happy you were able to get it.
Oh the thrill of stalking. I can only imagine the feeling.
I haven’t dolly stalked in such a long time that I fear I may be out of practice.
Cauldy do let us know which girl ends up wearing the outfit.
Tatyana 🙂
Nothing super exciting this time around. For now I think I’ll be able hold out until they do another round of Black Raven girls – or a round of Pureneemo with fantasy hair colors, haha!
Hi River,
I understand where you’re coming from.
The Black Raven series is slowly trying to return. I too would like to see more girls from the series.
I haven’t bought a Sahra girl or EX-Cute since the Twinkle a la mode & Fairyland series.
Ah, those were fun days. I’m starting to have some pureneemo withdrawals 😉
Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment.

Hello Kim,
Oh, we’re so glad you enjoyed the images from Azone’s booth at Doll Show 53 Early Summer Asakusa ＼ （ ＠＾◇ ＾＠）／
Don’t be a stranger 🙂
Feel free to visit us again.
We look forward to chatting with you,
Tatyana
The Picco Sahra’s a la Mode are a definite win, they are so darn cute! Really tempted by the Sweet Strawberry Shortcake, but I may hold out and see if they eventually do a Peach Pie version, my favorite from the line. 🙂
Overall, Azone has done well this show. Lots of cuteness that’s more difficult to pass by, variety of colors and styles, and plenty to be excited about for enthused collectors. I was admittedly a tiny bit bored after the conclusion of the Otogi no Kuni line of EXcute, but they safety of my wallet is certainly in danger now, lol.
Hi Robyn,
Peach Pie is a cutie.
It’s going to be interesting seeing all the girls shrink in size.
I felt the same way after the fairytale series.
The excitement was missing for the 12th series.
The girls are cute but the heart-pounding, please taking my money is not as strong with the 12th series.
I’m looking forward to seeing what Azone will present for the next EX-Cute series.
We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts about the upcoming Sahra and EX-Cute series.
Tatyana 🙂
They are all so adorable!!! :3
You really made my day with this post <3
I NEED a the new one of the new KIKIPOP! Dolls! They have the hoekuchi (is that what it’s called..?) mouth!
Hi Ari,
These latest KIKIPOP! have many collectors buzzing with excitment.
Yes, you are correct. The O-mouth by Kinoko Juice is called Hoekuchi.
We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts about the upcoming KIKIPOP! dolls.
Tatyana 🙂
Omg I NEED that Sahras. Will they be avaiable for us non-Japanese mortals? Looks like the purple one was an event exclusive, but what about the mint one?
I really like Chiika to, but I would like to see more photos of her.
Hi Orsi,
I’m sorry to say that the mint Sahra is not available to us mortals who live outside of Japan (∥￣■￣∥)
She is an Azone Direct Store exclusive.
But there’s is a slight chance Fabric Friends and Dolls may get her.
They were offering exclusive Azone’s like:
Himeno Sweet Girl of Oz on Instagram
And they have the Sleeping Cat Aika on their site.
So you never know what they may have at a later date.
Chiika does look lovely. It’s nice when she breaks from her usual expression & gives us a smile.
Since her pre-order will begin early June, I suspect we’ll be seeing her offical pictures soon.
Thank you for stopping by and sharing your thoughts about Azone’s booth at Doll Show 53 Early Summer Asakusa

Looking forward to the picco neemo’s like always and the cute boy lil’ fairies! Sahra’s a la mode is a favorite series of mine but I don’t have any as I really only collect the 1/12th scale dolls so I’m especially excited to see the lil’ fairy versions of it!
Hi Rebecca,
That’s so awesome that you collect 1/12th scale dolls ヽ(￣▼￣*)ノ
The 1/6th girls drew me into the hobby but the it’s the smaller girls (and very soon boys) who are stealing my heart & emptying my wallet (it’s so hard to resist them).
