Azone International's newest Sahra's a la mode theme is called Twinkle a la mode
The theme for Sahra's a la Mode's new series is "Twinkle a la mode", which uses the twinkling of gems and stars as a motif.
Under the shining moon and the twinkling stars, the sparkles from the night sky are taken in, and awaken the gems.Azone International
So prepare yourself for Twinkle a la mode Maya Peridot coming your way April 2016.
The "sun stone" that brilliantly sparkles even at night.
Each of the differing colors of the clothes, from the vivid green to the dazzling white, add a mysterious color to the seemingly transparent fair skin.Azone International
How exciting to have Maya kick off the new series and with fair skin!
Azone is offering 2 versions of Maya: one a regular release and the other an Azone direct store exclusive.
I'm going to start off by saying I’m loving the Twinkle a la mode theme despite the fact that I haven't seen all the girls yet.
I mean, how can I not like it. Twinkle a la mode has everything I love: sparkles & bling!
Even the theme's name sparkles or rather it "Twinkles" 😉
According to Wikipedia Peridot is a
Azone has done a great job incorporating Peridot in both versions of Maya.
Some companies are not as skilled as Azone in creating variations between pairs of dolls & tying a theme together.
In my opinion Azone is the master of the details and subtleties of doll design.
The regular release Maya embodies Peridot beautifully. The stunning colors of green and brown make up Maya's fabulous outfit.
While the exclusive Maya, is wearing all white. It makes you wonder where is the Peridot?
Ah, there it is . . . the subtleties of Peridot reside on Maya's hair bow, her ribbon tie and on top of her teeny tiny shoes.
And we can't forget her gorgeous Peridot eyes we well.
Bravo Azone!
Both girls are so lovely and I wish I could get them both.
But if I had to choose between the girls, I would go for the exclusive version. I'm really enjoying the Peridot subtleties of the direct store exclusive version.
However, it's probably much easier for me to get the regular release Maya (no need for proxy service).

Regarding the exclusive version, does that mean international buyers will not be able to buy it?

Since the time I was waiting for this announce… I’m really excited to finally see those two cuties. It’s very interesting for me to see a new project based on gem stones because I worked in a museum dedicated to lapidary work (the little hands who shap and facet precious stones to make them beautiful jewels) and I fell in love with the musterious and sparkling world of stones. ^^’
So Azone will got my money once again… I want them both! For the regular version it would not be a big problem but for the exclusive one… I hope I will have the time to get her through the proxy service! >.< Because recently some of the ex-cute dolls (Tsukiha and Sorane) were already sould out on major websites few hours after they were put on sale… and since I am in France… I deeply sleep when it's morning in Japan! T-T
I hope this new collection will add other stones :
1). diamond (even if I don't know how they can colorize something that is colourless…^^')

03/30/2016 at 2:12 amHello Anne-Sophie,
I agree, Azone has a home run on their hands with this season of Sahra’s a la mode girls.
When it comes to ordering the exclusive Maya that is my worry as well. Will I be up & on time to order her.
I have a sinking feeling that she’ll sell-out quickly.
Oh, you suggested some really stunning gems! Many of which I was unfamiliar with. Thanks for the info & links.
We have 5 Sahra’s a la mode girls, Maya as the stone Peridot & there’s Yuzuha whose stone is Lapis lazuli (your #6).
So, we have 3 girls to match up with your suggestions.
I would love to see one of the girls as diamond or ruby.
And then there’s the Moon stone and Tanzanite that you linked to. I hadn’t heard of those gemstones & I would love to see how Azone draws inspiration from them.
You’ve made me more excited about Sahra’s a la mode 😉
It’s always a pleasure chatting with you about dolls.
No worries about the length of your comment.
We enjoy hearing from you. We’ve learn so much from you already and the longer the better 🙂

04/01/2016 at 3:50 amArf! It was such a good theme… I hope Azone will not restrict themselves to the only 5 girls -_-‘ I don’t really mind if the same character comes in different stones :3 Any way I’m excited to see Lapis-lazuli Yuzuha now! >.<
I've found a japanese seller on eBay who proposed to make a preorder for the Peridot Maya direct store version. Even if it was a little bit expensive than the Azone webstore I've already made an order… I really hope that I will get her! Still few days left and I will know if he had succeeded in ordering Maya for me…

04/05/2016 at 2:08 amHi Anne-Sophie,
Hopefully, the eBay seller will come through (we’re wishing you the best of luck).
I’ve opted for the easier route and plan to get the regular version of Maya.
I did try to see what the direct store version would cost w/a proxy service and I discovered Azone’s online store has a restriction on proxy services 🙁
In the mean time, I’ll be researching proxy services who can go to the physical shop so that when Azone announces a girl I really want I’ll be better prepared.
Thanks for sharing your route on obtaining Azone shop exclusive girls (I had never thought about finding someone on eBay to purchase the dolls).
