Tsukiha and Sorane Little Blue Bird by Azone International

Tsukiha and Sorane

This January make room for the Azone’s Fairyland tale Little Blue Bird.

January 2016 Azone International and designer Michiru of Babydoware are transforming the adorable EX-Cute twins Tsukiha and Sorane into delightful fairytale characters.

Tsukiha (the girl) and Sorane (the boy) will play out the charming Little Blue Bird story.

January 14, 2016, Tsukiha’s pre-orders begin. Her release date is late January 2016.

February 4, 2016, Sorane’s pre-orders begin. His release date is late February 2016.

Before we take a closer look at the twins, let me get you caught up on the heartwarming tale:

The Little Blue Bird

Long, long ago

A cute little girl and her twin brother lived in a small house in the woods.

The twins had a kindhearted older sister.

It would soon be their beloved sister’s birthday.

So the twins, wanting their sister to always be happy decided to give her a little blue bird that brings its owner happiness as a present.

The next day, the twins set off into the woods in search of the little blue bird . . .

To be continuedAzone International

Isn’t that such a touching story?

I had already fallen in love with Tsukiha and Sorane when I saw images for this fairy announcement but with this story . . . I want ’em even more!

But Wait There’s More!

There’s still more to Little Blue Bird Tsukiha and Sorane, the concept behind the dolls design.

A collaboration between doll outfit designer michiru of babydow and the Ex☆Cute Family characters Tsukiha and Sorane!

Tsukiha and Sorane are re-imagined as two parts that once formed the little blue bird. The two embark on a journey to find the little blue bird of eternal happiness.

But the truth is that Tsukiha and Sorane were themselves the little blue bird.

A large, ribbon-shaped bustle hangs at their waists, representing each of the bird’s wings.

When the two twins stand next to each other and the their bustles are moved to the outside, the left and right wings are joined together and the two transform into the little blue bird that brings happiness.Azone International

OMGosh! I’m Speechless . . . . Here Azone Take My Money Now!!

I have a sinking feeling that the twins will sell out quickly, I hope I’m wrong but if you’re at all interested in adding them to your family; do not snooze on pre-ordering them.

I know that’s easier said than done.

Now It’s Your Turn

I’d love to hear what you think about the 6th dolls from Azone International’s Fairyland Designer Doll Collection.

Do you like it when companies offer “twin or counterpart” releases?

Will you be adding Tsukiha and Sorane to your collection?

If you’re skipping this release what do you hope Azone will announce next?

I look forward to chatting with you about Little Blue Bird Tsukiha and Sorane.

    Oh what a lovely story behind these two. I have to admit, I do like twins however I have Tsukiha already with the green eyes and lovely caramel colour hair which I just adore and I have a Sorane that has silver hair and blue eyes (very similar to this version actually) so I’m probably going to pass. I wish the outfits were sold separately though. I’m not the only one who would love to purchase just the outfits.

    I would love if Azone did another pink haired doll. I really want a pink haired Pureneemo.

      Hello Alasse Carnesir,

      Oh, you already have the twins, lucky 🙂

      I can understand your reasoning for passing on this release.

      **It has been awhile since we had pink haired pureneemo dolls.

      Maybe Azone will change that up this year (keep your fingers cross)

    Hello!

    Why Azone do that now? T-T After the Little Prince and My Melody Hen-Nako I took the decision to not spend any money before February… It seems that I have to break my resolution! XD I can not pass on this cute doll!

    Tsukiha and her brother’s look reminds me the one of chidren during the 19th century with their boater hat! As a big fan of 19th century fashion my heart screamed of pure happiness. So I must get at least Tsukiha in my collection *^*

      Hiya Anne-Sophie,

      Don’t worry too much about breaking your resolution. I read that 92% of people break them (myself included).

      I have a feeling Azone is going to be a beast this year with their doll releases.

      They had a teaser for the Twinkle a la mode line. Looks very interesting.

      **Oh, that is so awesome about the boater hat. You really know your fashion 🙂 Now, the twin are even more adorable!

      Good Luck with adding Tsukiha to your collection 🙂

        Yeah I know but it’s really frustrating because my car had some unforseen mechanical problems again and I have to be careful this mounth! Anyway I’m not interested in many dolls in February (at this moment!) so I can buy one more doll this mounth, I will save up my money later XD

        I have no merit because I’ve made an exam file about the 19th century fashion when I was in the college few years ago. More precisely the twins reminds me the period where boating was an extremely popular activity for rich poeple (towards 1870 – 1880).

        Wooow! If it’s a preview of the box’s design then I really like it! And the yellow and white silhouette draw upon it are very promising! It seems like the outfit will be very puffy and frilly and I love frills and lace and ribbons… I may be wrong but I really hope it’s a gothic/sweet lolita-style outfit! >.< I will be so happy if it's the case! Now I have to wait for more pictures of this mysterious doll… :3
