My Faves:
- Miu looks sweet - love her twintails
- EX-Cute racing girls - I’m going insane for these girls
- Persona 5 the Animation, Ren Amamiya will have the new L Pureneemo boy body. He looks interesting - very exciting
- Lil’ Fairy cats - so darn cute!
Bravo to Azone International for such an amazing booth. Proving how dolls are just as awesome as figures & garage kits.
I hope Azone keeps up the creativity while expanding into new series and licensing agreements.

Hi! do you have any news about the racing girls? 😮
Hello Adi,
Unfortunately, I haven’t seen any updates on the EX-Cute racing girls since August 2018.
On the EX-Cute Racing Official Blog it says if the samples go well the girls would be available for pre-order winter 2018 for a 2019 release.
Let’s hope the samples are going well.
If I come across any news I’ll update this comment and share the news on our Facebook & Twitter pages.
If you have any additional questions please feel free to ask 🙂

The new Lil’ Fairy Boy is my fav! He’s so cute, I want him!!
Hello Ditto’sDolls,
Oh, I agree. Azone is doing a great job on their Lil’ Fairy boys.
Winter 2018 we may see Will make his official appearance.
Azone’s Ikebukuro labelshop shared images of him, in casual clothes on Twitter . . . adorable!
Thank you for taking the time to chat with us about Wonder Festival 2018 Summer: Azone International images.

Hi! Thanks for doing what you do. This is the only site I know of that is enthusiastic for dolls only! I read alot of great info here and it’s awesome to know there’s someone going out if their way to focus on dolls through the WonFes! (^-^)
Thank you Lisa for the wonderful kind words.
I love how you put it, a site “enthusiastic for dolls only!”
That sums it up so nicely 🙂
If there is anything you’d ever like us to cover please feel free to make a request!
Thanks again,
Tatyana
Hello.
I love reading your posts and seeing the photos but am hoping you can help me understand something. Are the photos of dolls that are not yet available? Or only available at the shows?
I love the racing girls in this post and was very excited about the jumpsuits in the photos from the AK-Garden show in June. But I can’t find either of them available for purchase online.
Thank you!
Hi Nealie Jean,
Majority of the dolls on display at Wonder Festival are not available yet.
They’re a preview of what dolls are coming soon 🙂
At some events, Azone does offer limited event dolls like the Meow × Meow a la mode Shiro Neko Sahra ver 1.1 for Doll Show 53 Early Summer Asakusa.
The EX-Cute Racing girls were not for sale at any events or shops.
They were prototype dolls.
After much hard work, Azone is finally ready to release the EX-Cute racing girls.
Pre-orders will begin winter 2018.
They’re expected to arrive to fans spring 2019.
We’re waiting for news if the girls will be exclusive or regular release dolls.
I’m keeping my fingers cross for a regular release.
Like you, I’m in love with the girls.
Nealie Jean, we’re happy to hear you’re enjoying the site.
If there’s anything you’d like us to cover please feel free to ask 🙂
Thank you for your question,
Tatyana
