Azone International attended Doll Show 55 Spring Asakusa on March 10, 2019.
Like previous events, Azone displayed a-l-o-t of cute dolls and outfits.
I ask that you please take a moment and prepare your wallet for the possible pain it may experience this year.
Azone has set the dolly dials to “cuteness overload” & “irresistible.”
If you’re ready to view over 125 images and if you think your wallet can withstand the pain then continue below.
Here’s what’s in the works & coming our way:
- 45cm doll under development (I want her!! Take my $$$ now!)
- Obitsu & Azone collaborate to transform Eiri Uemura into a marshmallow rabbit - June 2019 (I'm very interested in this exclusive doll)
- EX-Cute & KIKIPOP! bring us Sera Kimagure - Summer 2019 (we've haven't seen Sera in so long. Glad to see her again)
- The 13th EX-Cute series is going to be magical! Magical☆CUTE begins with Happy Shiny Koron Magical☆CUTE - Summer 2019 (hmm, what's her magical power? Cuteness?)
- Meryl Day of Departure II - April 12, 2019 (cute)
- Alice's Tea Party ~ Sweets Tea Party ~ March Rabbit Raili -July 2019 (oh, I must resist!)
- New Ex-Cute boys? Yes! Sweet Tea Party - Boy Alice Noah (Raili's brother) and friend Cheshire Cat Klye - April & May 2019 (I didn't think the EX-Cute cast could get any bigger. What is Azone trying to do to our wallet?)
- Time of Eternal Alice/Time of Grace VI Taisho Roman Black Cat (regular ver.) & Ellen/Time of Eternal VI Taisho Roman White Cat (Azone direct store) - Summer 2019 (whhhyyyy!! too cute!)
- Black Raven Amane/The Rainy Veil - Regular & Azone direct store ver. - April 11, 2019 (It's so not fair. It's too much cuteness)
- Happiness Clover Nanaka - Summer 2019 (she looks so cool dressed for school )
- Picconeemo bodies and so much more!
Okay, Last Warning: It’s not too late to turn back. I really hope your wallet can handle these dolls.
My wallet is packing up and preparing to leave me. She doesn't want to go through the pain of being empty & abused again.
While I work on convincing my wallet not to abandon me, here are the images of Azone International’s booth.
Enjoy! ﾟ.:｡+ﾟ（●￫‿ฺ￩●）乂（๑￫∀￩๑）ﾟ.:｡+ﾟ

Sooo much cuteness 🙈🙊🤯😱!! Makes me even more and more tempted to invest in the 1/6 scale dolls
Hi Mariana,
Oh, Azone is tempting you into the world of 1/6 scale 🙂
Which one has caught your attention the most?
Thank you for taking the time to chat with us,
Tatyana
Azone is really bringing their A-game in 2019. There’s so much to appreciate and admire!
The magical girl EX-Cute series is going to be so fun and I can see it being such a big hit. Can’t wait to see how all the designs turn out since Koron is starting things so strong. More additions to the Alice’s Tea Party theme is great, too. I definitely see March Hare Raili finding her way into my collection. Also keeping an eye on Hell Girl as I’ve always had my eye on her old Pureneemo, so maybe this is a sign, lol.
Thanks for collecting all these images together, it can be hard to find all the new stuff scanning through tags on Twitter.
Hello Robyn,
It seems like Azone wasn’t holding anything back at the doll show.
Though I suspect Azone still has a few more surprises for us for 2019.
We’re glad to hear you enjoyed all the images from the event.
You’re so right, there are a lot of images to go through on Twitter during the dolly events.
I’m scrolling, opening tabs and saving images . . . it’s the best dolly fix for me 😀
Thank you for chatting with us,
Tatyana
Thank you for all the photographs. As always, I really appreciate it!
Kristen, you’re very welcome.
It can get a bit crazy sorting through all the images and visiting all the platforms.
But it’s all worth it when I get nice comments like yours or when people take the time to chat & share their thoughts on the events, it makes me happy.
I checked out your Instagram. Nice photos. I like the Death Note L image (I loved that series) and I really wanted that Medicom figure when it came out.
And I have a Umaru-chan nendoroid too 🙂 I totally want to jump into your photo.
I appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment,
Tatyana 🙂
Lots of lovely dolls coming out by the looks of things. That Obitsu girl with the rabbit ears, I am really liking her. I wonder which of the new bodies she comes on. I’m surmising she’s a 1/6 scale?
I am also liking that girl with the long black hair in the uniform with the red eyes. Is that a Pureneemo? She looks like she has inset eyes rather than decal eyes. Maybe she’s an Obitsu. I hope if both of those are Obitsu that Parabox ends up carrying them so I can get them!
The the long black hair doll is Hell Girl (from an anime with the same title) and does have an inset eyes (only irises), she and doll with the rabbit ears are both on Obitsu 24cm body with s bust. I thougt the rabbit girl is actually on the 26cm body, but it yet come out.
Parabox only carries the Obitsu bodies and sell their own made dolls.
It’s interesting to see how Azone which started out making dolls using obitsu bodies, then made their own ones, is now going back to use Obitsu. I really like the 1/6 dolls having inset eyes, now they only need real eyelashes and they will be perfect!
I also hope at some point Azone will finally sell the stylized Picco Neemo body and head separately as well. I have some sort of retro/cartoony style custom in mind.
Hello Anonym,
Thank you for the helpful information.
Tatyana
Thanks Anonym for all the information. So they’re Azone heads on Obitsu bodies? That’s great news. I really hope Hobbysearch or AmiAmi will sell those two dolls. I’m really tempted by both!
Hi Alasse Carnesir,
I agree, Azone is creating a lot of lovely dolls.

Tatyana
Thank you for the link! I don’t know how I missed the photos of her on that post. I am really liking her even more after seeing those close ups of her face.
Hi Alasse Carnesir,
Glad to hear you were able to checkout her photos.
