Wizard Of Oz Himeno by Azone International

wizardofoz-himenoAzone International invites you to join Himeno as she journeys through the Merry Old Land Of Oz!

December 6, 2016 pre-orders will begin for Wizard Of Oz Himeno.

You can expect her arrival late December 2016.

Himeno will mark the 12th EX-Cute from the Fairyland series.

We saw images of Himeno at Doll Show 47 Fall which took place on July 24, 2016.

The designer behind the Wizard Of Oz Himeno is the talented A-line.

You may remember A Line’s work on Ruruko Bird Cage Girl and Ruruko Bird Cage Boy.

Let’s check out the story of Wizard Of Oz Himeno.

The Wizard of Oz

One sunny day, along came a cyclone.

A girl got caught in it, and it carried her away.

She awoke to find herself in a strange forest.

In the middle of it was a brick road.

“If I follow this road, maybe it will lead me home?”

Just then, in a burst of light, along came the Witch of the North, and she said: “This is the Land of Oz.

You must go to the City of Emeralds and ask the Wizard of Oz, who lives there, if he can help you find your way home.”

The Witch of the North gave Dorothy a pair of enchanted silver shoes, and kissed her gently on the forehead.

The girl thanked her, and she started down the brick road . . .

To Be Continued . . .Azone International

About the Design:

A collaboration between doll outfit designer 「A line」and Ex-Cute Himeno!

Dolly-style clothes with a hint of mystery, inspired by Himeno when she’s lost in the Emerald Palace.

Enjoy creating all different looks from girly to classical, just like Dorothy under a magic spell.Azone International

What another cute story!

I hope she makes it to the emerald city.

I thought Himeno looked lovely at the doll show but I was on the fence on whether to get her or not.

But after seeing all her images, I find her super hard to resist (must resist . . . but  resistance is futile).

I like the details A Line added to the apron.

It’s one of the cutest aprons I ever seen.

And the little bag with Toto on it . . . adorable!

But what I really love about Himeno is the black & white look she has going on underneath the blue dress.

Now, that look is stunning! And it’s the main reason I’ll try to my hardest to get the $$ to bring her home.

I can imagine how cute she’ll look next to Black Princess Aika.

I’ll need to find a pair of black & white striped tights for Himeno first but they’ll be quite the cute pair (^-^)

If you were wondering, like I was, about the ruby red slippers, there’s a simple explanation.

Thank You Robyn for sharing the Oz fact with us 🙂

Kudos to Azone for drawing inspiration from the original story.

Let’s Chat:

Will you & Himeno follow the yellow brick road together?

Or will you pass and travel to another more exotic place?

Now that Azone has announced Himeno we only have Mia, Yuta or Aota left.

Mia attended the Doll Show so we’re only waiting for Yuta & Aota to make an appearance.

Which fairy tale will Azone transform the boys into?

    Oh my gosh! Thank you for sharing that she originally had silver slippers! It actually really botheeed me that they made it silver because I was going by the movie and thought they were red. I thought they messed up. I really like the stripes on the skirt and her hair. I don’t have many pureneemos with different hair styles. So her hair is kind of like a breath of fresh air into my collection.

    I couldn’t think of many male characters from fairy tales so I googled a quick list of a few notable ones.

    Snow White’s Prince
    Cinderella’s Prince
    Sleeping Beauty’s Prince
    Rapunzel’s Prince
    The Huntsman in the Little Red Riding Hood
    Farmer’s little boy in the Puss in Boots
    The Frog Prince
    Pinocchio
    Hansel
    Alladin
    The beast from beauty and the beast
    The boy from the snow queen?

    I don’t know many but they might even surprise us and make like a male version a female character? Or if there is an animal in a fairy tale they might make a human doll version of it who knows.
    Puss n boots might be cute and maybe even a the boy from the snow queen could be cool.
    Or a really fancy looking alladin would be really neat.
    Ive got to many ideas >.>

      Hi Amber,

      I totally agree Himeno’s hair is lovely.

      It wasn’t until I saw Ringo’s images that I completely, without a doubt, fell in love with Himeno.

      And now I can’t wait to get her.

      She’s too cute!

      Wow, you’ve found a lot of captivating tales and you have several interesting ideas.

      I can’t wait to see how Azone will transform the boys.

      Since it seems the series is coming to an end, a surprise would be nice 🙂

      I only knew a handful of fairy tales before Azone’s Ex-Cute fairy tale series.

      It’s quite fun & funny to think how much I’ve learned from this hobby (I never would have guessed it).

      It was a pleasure talking with you about Azone’s fairy tale series.

      Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment.

      I look forward to our next conversation (^-^)

      Tatyana
