I am regular customer at Hobby Search and I’ve been buying from them for years. I wish they instead use the creative outfit of their mascot instead of generic miko outfit and also use 1/6 scale body instead.
Hello Anonym,
You bring up some interesting points.
I’m curious why Hobby Search went with a big girl instead of a smaller (⅙ scale ) girl.
With a smaller girl not only would the price be more appealing for collectors but a smaller size would take up less space in fans’ ever growing collection.
Maybe if she’s successful enough, Hobby Search will offer another shop exclusive Azone doll, at a smaller size.
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts about Kano Hobby Search 20th Anniversary Ver. doll.

Oh, wow. I really like her. I love the red and white outfit and blue hair together. Her expression is lovely. I only have one other Iris Collect doll since they take such a hit out of the dolly budget and I collect a lot different dolls. I’d get this one if I could, but it’s too much of surprise to be able to fit her in the budget. I have other pre-orders coming in throughout the end of this month and next.
Thanks for sharing the news of her. If she’s somehow still available in a couple of months, I may try for her.
Hi Lisa Brackett,
I agree, there are so many lovely dolls demanding the attention of our wallets this year.
It’s becoming a challenge for me to keep things straight 😉
I’m glad to hear you found this post helpful.
Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts about Kano.
P.S. hopefully things will work out and you’ll be able to welcome her home someday.
