This June, PetWORKs is kicking off the month with their Color Folklore Festival, which is an exciting celebration of their One-Sixth Scale Boys & Male Album (PetWORKs Boys Eight & Nine)
The event will be held at Azone Label Shop Akihabara from June 6 to June 29, 2025, and it promises a vibrant showcase of creativity.
Doll artists from across the community will create one-of-a-kind Eight and Nine dolls dressed in colorful costumes inspired by cultures around the world.
But what’s really turning heads?
Special dolls exclusive to the event: B25AZ Eight and Nine.
These limited dolls borrow their look from the 2024 Vampire Eight and Nine, minus the vampire gear.
This time, it’s just the doll, letting collectors style them however they like.
But these will only be available at the event and won’t be sold in PetWORKs’ stores.

Hi Miki,
PetWORKs really has a way of making each boy stand out!
It’s tough when a favorite turns out to be limited.
But the good news is, they always release more great versions of Eight and Nine.
Take your time choosing.
The right one will click with you, and it’ll feel just right when you add him to your collection.
Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts on B25AZ Eight & Nine.
Wishing you the best of luck finding your perfect boy!
Thank you for your kind word, maybe I have find a way to get him, I ask to Tokyodolls if they can buy him for me, and they tell me that there is a very little possibilty to have him nothing certain just a little hope, if I can’t have him I think I buy the normal version of vampire eight he’s very cute…now i have a dilemma buy the vampire one that is in stock on petworks store and the other one if they can find him, or wait until I know something certain with the possibility that the vampire one goes out of stock…decision decision decision…
Miki, I feel you decision, decision, decision!
Just when one choice is made, another shows up.
This hobby definitely keeps us thinking.
Let me know what you end up doing!
Oh, and did you catch Azone’s post on X? (if not, I’ve added the image to this page. toward the bottom)
They showed the boys in outfits made just for them.
No word yet on if they’ll sell the outfits, but I’m curious to see what happens.
Hi thanks a lot I have sen the photo the outfit is amazing on him!!! Hope they Made the outfit Soon,Luckily Tokyodolls write me today and tell me that they can have a stock so I can have him I’m so happy ❤️❤️❤️❤️…but I have to confess since I don’t think to be this lucky I had already order the vampire one…so I think that I will have both the vampire and maybe this one can become the vampire butler or his guard or even a vampire hunter no never a vampire hunter. Now I just have to wait for them to arrive and save money for the future because Now I’m broke but so so happy 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Congrats, Miki! 🥳

Oh shoot, both of them are so tempting! I want them!
I’m both upset and relieved that they’re store-exclusives, because while I’m sad I won’t be able to get them, I’m also relieved because I really cannot afford them right now, I’ve been splurging on other things.
I actually like these two better than the original versions. If I were able to get them, I would definitely style them as vampires, putting them into something very similar to the original vamp fits.
Generally speaking, I like both – stock dolls in beautiful dresses that I never redress because I love them the way they are, and nude dolls that are mine to customize and go wild. My collection is a healthy mix of both options.
Though I do wish there was a budget option for the dressed dolls, without the dress, but cheaper, so that I can at least have the beautiful base doll. I always wish for this with lines like Iris Collect (+Petit), as they are expensive and limited amounts, and the pre-orders usually come up before I had the time to save up.
And I often wish that we as a society returned to the old Barbie sales model, where you buy the base doll in something simple like a swimsuit or underwear, and fashions com in fashion packs. And beautiful elaborate stock releases could be for special occasions, like brand anniversaries and holidays and such.
Hi Neon,
It really does feel like PetWORKs is on a roll with these tempting boys lately.
I totally get the splurging.
I’ve been focused on paying off a few surprise expenses myself.
And yes, preorders always seem to pop up right when the budget’s already spoken for. Perfect timing, right 😅
