Happy Prince Aoto & Little Swallow Yuta by Azone International

Aoto and Yuta have finally made it into the EX-Cute fairyland series!

Azone International and the talented designer, 赤い カメラ/Red Camera, transformed the two boys into fairyland characters.

They’re the Happy Prince Aoto and the Little Swallow Yuta

Pre-orders for the handsome duo begin April 28 – May 29, 2017.

You can expect each boy to arrive sometime in the Winter of 2017.

Before we take a closer look at their amazing images let’s read their story:

The Happy Prince

Long long ago, in the middle of a large town, atop a towering column, there was a statue of a beautiful, golden prince.

All those who gazed upon the beautiful prince, were filled with feelings of happiness, so it was called the happy prince, and was loved by all the townspeople.

One night, as winter was approaching, a little swallow arrived in the town . . .

To Be Continued Azone International

Oh, those “To Be Continues”.

Looks like you’ll have to buy Aota & Yuta and read their enclosed booklet to see how their story ends (booklet in Japanese).


Our Doll Identification service is designed to bring clarity to your cherished items

About the Design:

A collaboration between doll outfit designer Red Camera and Ex☆Cute Family Aoto and Yuta!

Aoto and Yuto are the crowning glory of the Fairy Tale Country Series!

Gazing down at the town, the kind, happy prince Aoto is adorned in an exquisite pintuck shirt, an antique-style blouse with frills, a corset with a golden chain, and a heavy velveteen coat.

Aoto has platinum blonde hair and sapphire eyes.

Flying freely in the sky, the gallant swallow Yuta is adorned in an exquisite white bell-sleeved blouse, made to resemble wings, a Bordeaux corset, and a swallow-tailed sailor’s jacket decorated with a star.

Yuto has striking indigo hair and eyes. Azone International

I love when the designers give us a brief insight into the design process.

It adds a captivating layer to the overall appeal of the doll.

If you’re interested in knowing more about 赤い カメラ/Red Camera then you’ll want to get Dollybird vol. 25.

Inside there’s a 3 question interview and the design sketches from the designer.

I love the last photo in Aoto’s gallery.

It’s pulling at my “must get them now” heart-strings.

But my $$ is ear-marked for another item so I’ll have to pass on the prince and swallow.

I’ll get my Aoto and Yuta fix from seeing owner pics in late 2017.

Now It’s Your Turn

Do you like Happy Prince Aoto and Little Swallow Yuta?

Will you order both of them, 1 of them or neither of them?

All the core EX-Cute family and friends have made an appearance.

Wakaba and Fuka are the newest family & friends members and came onto the scene in 2016, after the tale began.

Not sure if Azone has plans to add them to the fairyland series or not.

So let’s assume Aoto and Yuta are the last members to transform into fairytale characters.

How do you feel about the 11th EX-Cute Series?

Did you like it, what was your favorite tale?

If you didn’t like the series what theme do you what Azone to do next?

We’re always excited to hear your thoughts & opinions.

I look forward to chatting with you.

Are these cute Aoto’s and Yuta’s missing from your collection?

      Hi Marco Flavio,

      I agree with you. They should be displayed together. They make such a cute pair 🙂

      Yes, the pre-order date is from Friday, April 28, 2017 to Monday, May 29, 2017.

      The pre-order period is longer than usual.

      I wonder if Azone expects the boys to be a huge hit.

      Wish you the best of luck bringing Yuta and Aoto home.

      Tatyana
