PetWORKs and Sekiguchi collaborated in the one piece strawberry Ruruko. (FYI: strawberries are Chimutan favorite food).

They are FINALLY releasing a version of this doll. I was looking at Petwork’s 20th anniversary site https://pw20th.wixsite.com/spiral/goods, & noticed that towards the bottom left there was a picture of “Peach’s all-in-one ruruko”. I confirmed with Petworks that this is a future doll, so I’m looking forward to her.
Hi Marna,
Thank you for sharing the exciting news.
Only a few days left before the event.
Hopefully, they’ll annouce more info about Ruruko before the 18th.
So many exciting things to come from PetWORKs.
Someone who went to the Isetan event said that Sekiguchi told her that this was a pre-release for this doll, & Petworks site now says “scheduled to be released in advance at “Chimutan Club at Isetan Girl”, so it looks like she’ll be for sale to the general public at some point.
Hi Marna Levin,
That’s awesome that your friend spoke with Sekiguchi.
When I checked One Piece of Strawberries Ruruko’s product description it states that neither Sekiguchi or PetWORKs plan to offer her in their stores.
But this might have changed.
It would be great for fans if she became available at a later date.
Thanks stopping by and leaving a comment on One piece of strawberries Ruruko.

Thanks for providing the additional info about Chimutan for those of us not familiar. Ichigo Ruruko makes more sense now. 🙂 I love her pink hair and was so disappointed she was an exclusive. IMHO she’s super-cute! 😀 <3 I love pink-haired dolls. Fortunately, I found a way to get her and she'll be on the way later this month.
Hello Bai Yi Lin,
Congratulations!
That is so awesome to hear that you were able to get One Piece Strawberry Ruruko.
Do come back and let us know what you think about her.
I’m glad you found the information on Chimutan helpful.
Ruruko had such an interesting design that I was super curious as to where it came from.
I wasn’t familiar with Chimutan before this announcement but thanks to this release, now I am 🙂
Thank you for visiting and leaving a comment.

I’ve used Buyee before. thanks!
Hi Lisa Davie,
Cool, I’ll have to checkout Buyee sometime.
CC Toys recently posted One Piece Strawberry Ruruko on their Facebook page.
You may be able to order her from them as well.

Isetan Girl? Is this a web shop I can order from? I’m a little confused on how I would get her. It just looks like a physical shop in Japan. Maybe online, but I can’t tell if they ship international
Hello Lisa Davie,
Isetan Shinjuku Shop is a department store located in Japan.
Unfortunately, I believe you could only get the Ruruko at the physical store.
She is on Yahoo! Japan for 17000 yen.
You’ll need a proxy service to place the order.
We’ve used From Japan before but there are many others.
If you have any additional questions please feel free to ask 🙂
