(My immediate impression: Something about sepia photos haunts me and the same can be said for this latest Groove doll.
For some reason she’s creeping me out, I’m not even joking.
It’s like she’s the ghost of Pullip Classic Alice . . .?!? The photo of them together doesn’t help at all T_T
Neat concept, but at this point I’m too creeped out.)
Order the exact same doll! on eBay
I have 4 words: Are.You.For.Real?
Come on man, really! a “Sepia” version (or insert a stripped version) of Pullip Classical Alice . . . I’m shaking my head right now wondering, where is the passion?!?
I do however have 2 positive things to say about this release, she’s not a collaboration or a doll based off of an anime 🙂 but in the end, nothing has changed, she’s yet another rehashed color version doll.
Sepia Alice is scheduled for an August 2014 release.
Things I love:
- Not collaboration doll
- Not related to any Anime
Critiques:
- Exact same doll minus the color
- Waaaaaaay to many recolored/rebooted dolls this year
- Sepia creeps me out
- She looks like Alice’s ghost 🙁 (sounds horrible I know)
Release Date: August 2014
Limited: No

I love this Alice and her coloring. But I can completely understand your point of view about recolors.
Hi Trish!
Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a comment! 🙂
I think she peeks a lot of Pullip collectors interests.
I look forward to seeing fan photos 🙂
Xo,

I had the same reaction as you but to be honest I feel like this is the best looking doll they’ve made for a while even if it is a redress/repaint. That being said it’s still not interesting enough for me to want to add to my already pretty hefty pullip collection. Grooves recent dry spell of unique dolls has actually turned me onto bjds and at this rate groove is gonna have to do something pretty impressive to peak my interest again but with this years track record I don’t see that happening.
I’ve been wondering about this shift that has been happening in the Pullip community.
Has the lack of creativity and originality been a major factor in Pullip collectors becoming former fans.
I wonder, what does Groove have to do in order to bring back their former fans.
OMG I adore her so much. At first I think it is a photomontage but now its really the doll O.o
I like the color scheme, her face up especially the lips and this nostalgic creepy feeling.
I find the recolored dolls good, because I like the colors from this dolls more than the original color scheme. But that is a matter of taste.
By Pullip Canele and Varele it was the same but no one said “oh it’s recolored” because they are two sisters. Perhaps we should see the recolored Dolls as sisters too ^^
Hi Lollydolly~
Thanks for sharing your opinion with me. 🙂
You made a very good point about Varele & Canele.
I don’t think I would have an issue with recolored dolls in general, if Groove would just release the dolls in the same month or even in the same year. (Example how Azone International has done with their Sahra’s a la mode)
But yeah, this girl is quite mysterious, almost on the same level as Pullip Wilhelmina.
I know fans will create some stunning images with this Victorian/Gothic girl
Thanks for taking the time to share your point of view with us!

to tell the truth i find her kinda cute, but yoru riht, i cant take the recolors anymore, its kinda depressing.
((i kinda like the anime dolls, im hoping they do hetalia or yu yu hakusho or gasp! inuyasha)) but this is both alice in wonderland and a recolor and well… i think they are thinking more about quanity then quality here.
Hey Johanna!
It’s great hearing from you again 🙂
It’s not that I have an issue with anime dolls per se, its just that I feel they need more variety when it comes to their choice of Anime inspired pullips.
We’ve already had the Rozen Maidens, so it just felt forced/old to me . . . >_< I would like to see an Isul Armin doll from Attack on Titan (I'm imagining him right now, soooo cute ^^) Till this day, Groove's fascination with Alice still surprises me xD I honestly thought this would be the year we wouldn't come across any Groove Alice releases. Thanks for leaving a comment! xo, ~Kat
good to talk to you too, and i agree a little armin doll would be wonderful. though since they havent mde a hetalia one wich is very popular i dont know if they make a attack on titan one.
and agian im sorta not surprised about the alice… i mean..eh. i wish they make a DECENT cheshire cat. then maybe ill be happy.
i would prefer maybe another fairy tale, like my ltitel mermaid, or rapunzel, or something, i mean i loved thier rendisions like that.
