September 2016, mark your calendars for the arrival of the adorable Rose Red Mio & Rose White Mio from Azone International.

Mio is the 11th doll from Azone’s Fairyland series (wow! we’ve made it to 11).

This time around Azone has teamed up with doll clothing designer QP located in Japan.

And there will be 2 Mio’s for fans to order.

One Mio will be available as a regular release – Rose Red Mio (red outfit – honey gold hair).
The other Mio is a doll show commemorative – Rose White Mio (blue outfit – rose white hair).

Order Dates:

  • Rose Red Mio – September 13, 2016
  • Rose White Mio – September 19, 2016 (Doll Show 47 Autumn Sales)
  • Rose White Mio – September 21, 2016 (Azone Labelshop Sales)

You may remember seeing Rose Red Mio & Rose White Mio at Wonder Festival 2016 Summer which took place on July 24, 2016.

I really liked her at Wonder Festival and now I am in love with her.

I will certainly be in the trenches trying to snatch her up on September 13.

But before we put our game faces on, let’s dive into the story of Rose Red Mio and Rose White Mio.

Rose Red Mio & Rose White Mio Story:

White Rose and Red Rose

Long, long ago there lived two young, beautiful sisters in a small house deep, deep in the forest.

Whenever spring came beautiful white and red roses burst into bloom in the house’s little garden.

So people called the older sister “White Rose”, and the younger sister “Red Rose”.

One winter night, when the cold snow had piled up, there was a knock at the door.

White Rose opened the door, and there stood an enormous bear.

To Be Continued . . .Azone International

About the Design:

A collaboration between doll outfit designer “QP”, and “Mio” of the EX CUTE family!

White Rose has been dressed in blue tartan to let her white rose inspired white hair gleam, while Red Rose has been dressed in red tartan to fit the motif of a red rose.

The teddy bears are modeled on the gentle bear who appears in the Grimms’ fairy tale “Snow-White and Rose-Red”, which “White Rose and Red Rose” is based on.

Charms modeled on the roses that give the sisters their names also dangle above their laced corsets. Azone International

Azone, what are you doing to me. This story is so CUTE!! Agh and I love the design concept & inspiration.

Here Azone . . . take my $$ now.

After reading that story, I gotta have both girls.

My collection will be so incomplete otherwise . . . A-Z-O-N-E WHY?!!!

Sorry about that little dolly rant, I’m back now!

Let’s take a look at Mio’s beautiful images, shall we?

    Hi!!! my name is Eva, I’m from Spain and it’s my first time writting here >///<

    Have you purchase her??? she's soooo beautiful, I prefer Momokodolls but I'm losing the thrill of the new releases. Maybe because sometimes, they are too expensive but it's ok, because my favourites are the Wake Up models 😉

    I'm sorry I've got distracted!! I purchased mine in Nippon Yassan, like my last Lil'Fairy because I missed the 2 preorders in Amiami. Dolls are cheaper than in Amiami but the shipping cost is more expensive.

    My favourite ExCute is Aika and I didn't expect that Mio would be so gorgeous, so she's been a great present for me (from me). I can't wait to have her at home and take photos of her ♥

    Take care and thank you for your hard work doing this blog ♥

      Hi Eva!!!

      Welcome, I’m so happy to see that you left a comment today!

      I did purchase Mio! and I can’t wait for her to arrive 🙂

      Congrats on getting Mio too. Please feel free to share pix of her here.

      I’ve been noticing lately that Momoko fans are not as happy with the latest Momoko releases.

      I guess after 15 years it can be tough to create something new and interesting each month.

      Thanks so much for the kind words it’s our pleasure to provide doll news!

      It was so nice to meet you, don’t be a stranger 🙂

    I’ve never heard of the fairytale they were based on, but I read a plot summary and it’s very cute! The dolls fit it perfectly.

    I can see these dolls being quite popular, especially since it seems to only be the fourth and fifth release of this character.

      Hi Robyn,

      I have a sick sad feeling she’s going to be quite popular.

      My wish is for people to pass over her and I can snatch 1 up for myself but like you mention there’s only a few Mio dolls so far.

      These EX-Cute members who have very limited releases are a battle to get.

      Minami nearly wore me out – so I’m trying to conserve my energy and $$ for Mio.

      September 13 will be here before you know it.

      Thanks for taking the time to chat with me about Rose Red Mio & Rose White Mio.

      Tatyana 🙂
