I adored the 2016 version of Mio.

So much so, that both girls are a part of The Dolly Insider crew.

I don’t know why Azone is doing this . . . I find myself liking this version too.

But I must be strong and not give into dolly temptation.

Luckily, the version I like is the Azonet one (so that’ll be my excuse for not getting her).

Over to You:

What do you think about Azone Rose Red Mio & Rose White Mio ver 1.1?

Will you add the 1.1 versions into your collection?

Which do you prefer, the 2016 Mio or the 2018 Mio?
