Lil Fairy Illumie by Azone International

03/05/2017 By Tatyana 6 Comments

Just in Time for Spring Cleaning

Azone international wants to help you get your house in tip top shape.

They’re introducing the 2nd newest Lil’ Fairy for you.

Her name is Illumie and you can expect her arrival late March 2017.

We first saw Illumie at Doll Show 48 Winter and Wonder Festival 2017 Winter.

She was on display with the other 2 Lil’ Fairies Harmia & Pitica.

Pre-Orders begin March 14, 2017.

After seeing Illumie at Doll Show 48 Winter I honestly thought I could resist her.

But now after seeing her promo images . . . my hand is itching to click the add to cart button on March 14.

Me: What’s a girl to do about this dolly itch?
Wallet: Take an antihistamine or something but don’t you dare open me to buy her. Don’t Do It!

Product Information:

  • Body: 1/12 Picco Neemo D Sister
  • Hair Color: Shiny Gold
  • Eye Color: Ice Blue
  • Skin Tone: White
  • Headband
  • Dress with armholes
  • Apron
  • Drawers
  • Pannier
  • Socks
  • Strap Shoes
  • Dustpan
  • Hand parts (5)
  • Certificate of Registration

Release Date: February 2017
Price: ¥8,300 about $73

I told myself I’ll only get one of the newest Lil’ Fairies.

And I want to stick to my promise but . . . . I don’t know.

Where to Buy:

  • Azone International
  • Tokyo Otaku Mode
  • Hobby Search
  • Ami Ami

Azone Keeps Going:

Azone International is unveiling a lot of beautiful dolls in the Dollybird vol. 25 issue.

Cover Model: A Special Version of Wizard Of Oz Himeno

There will be a sneak preview of Fairy Tale Aoto & Yuta (yes, finally!) wearing yukatas (via @Azone_Ringo)

Several of the Azone dolls featured in the issue will be Hobby Japan exclusives (boo!)

I already pre-ordered my book and you can too from the following sites:

  • Hobby Search (pre-orders have stopped)
  • AmiAmi
  • Hobby Link Japan
  • CD Japan

Every time Azone announces exclusive dolls I tend to feel like this :

Over to You:

Will Lil’ Fairy Illumie be helping you with your spring cleaning this year?

Or will you save your $$ for another girl/boy?

How are you liking the new Lil’ Fairies? How many will you welcome home?

When Azone reveals an exclusive doll how do you control your emotions (I go through an array of emotions. So uncontrollable).

Do you do whatever it takes to bring the cutie home or are you thankful she’s a exclusive doll and patiently await for the next regular release announcement?

I’m looking forward to chatting with you about Lil’ Fairy Illumie & learning how you deal with exclusive dolls.

Visit here to meet all the Lil’ Fairy girls.

    I want a lil fairy doll so bad! It’s hard for a girl who can’t drive yet to earn money, so it’s taking forever! My heart is sold though! No matter how long I have to wait, one of these adorable girls will be mine!

      Hi Ava,

      I sense your determination to own a Lil’ Fairy.

      Since it’s coming from you heart, I’m sure you’ll own one.

      We’re sending out dolly wishes that you’ll welcome home a beautiful Lil’ Fairy soon.

      Thank you for taking the time to chat with me about Azone’s Lil’ Fairy dolls.

      Tatyana 🙂

    Hi!

    I just preordered Illumie! She is my first Lil’fairy! You scared me a little when I read on Harmia comments that the piconeemo body have the tendency to dislocate in two but I couldn’t resist to the color scheme of this little cutie! >.<

      Hi Anne-Sophie,

      How exciting, you’re getting a Lil’ Fairy!

      I’m glad to hear you were able to snatch up a Illumie.

      The newest Lil’ fairies are selling out quick.

      The smaller picconeemo bodies are the trouble ones.

      The Lil’ Fairy bodies don’t come apart at the waist like the smaller picco ones.

      I’ve experienced floppy legs with my Lil’ Fairy girls but with a bit of patience they can stand on their own (for a while).

      Welcome to the land of the cleaning fairies (^-^)

      Thank you for leaving a comment,
      Tatyana

    Hi!!!
    I really, really like the new Lil’Fairies. They’re so small and so cute. This is perfect with those blue eyes matching her clothes.
    I love her but I have to say no (this time), I’m still waiting for picconeemo’s clothes and my Mia Snow Queen (from Amiami). Although, I know I’m going to have one, my others Picconeemos need a little sister (they, not me, haha).

    One of my rules is if I’m waiting for something that it’s still unpaid (like in Amiami), I can’t buy anything new and I broke my rule because I’ve ordered a BJD that I’was waiting to have more than a year XD so, I can’t break it again…

    Finally, I can’t believe that Himeno is going to be limited to Hobby Japan only ¬¬ it’s so unfair, because she’s perfect and more beautiful than the other Himeno’s version (imo) buuuuut it’s better for my wallet 😉

      Hi Eva,

      It’s so awesome that you’re working to stick to your rule.

      You’ve motivated me to do the same (though Azone is not making it easy).

      I was on the fence about getting Illumie and have decided to pass on her.

      Exclusive dolls are like a blessing one day and a curse the next.

      My wallet is also relieved that Himeno is an exclusive.

      Though I would really like to have her in my collection.

      I feel I must pass on her and enjoy the Himeno I already have.

      Thanks for taking the time to chat with us about Lil Fairy Illumie & Himeno.

      Hope your Mia Snow Queen and picconeemo clothes arrive soon 🙂

      I’ve heard Mia is simply beautiful in person.

      Take care,
      Tatyana
