Azone International attended Wonder Festival Shanghai 2019 on June 8 – June 9, 2019.
Visitors saw several anime themed dolls & concept illustrations.
They also were able to buy a variety of Azone original dolls.
Let’s take a look below to see what’s in store for us this year:
- Junta Azumaya and Takato Saijo from The Most Huggable Man Has Threatened Me
- Mai Sakurajima from Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai
- Ren Amamiya from Persona 5 The Animation and
- Norman, Emma and Ray from The Promised Neverland
What do you think about the dolls Azone revealed at the event?
Did they do a good job transforming the characters into a doll form?

I wanted the Dakaichi dolls but hopefully they do get the height difference and facial expressions right. And I think the eyes of Junta and Takato and not blue and green enough. Or maybe just the way the pic was taken… But I will definitely buy them either way… ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Makoto,
Here’s one promo image Azone shared on Twitter of the guys.
What do you think about their eyes and expression? Are the guys better, the same or worse compared to their Wonder Festival images?
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts on the Dakaichi dolls.

Whhhhaaatttt?!?! Promised Neverland Dolls?!?!? ??? all my money I will give it Azone for these dolls!!! I hope they get their expressions right though…. ??
I’m a little disappointed in both Junta and Takato while they’re good dolls they are poor representations of the characters, both in their expressions and bodies. Junta is like a head taller then Takato, and usually is wearing a smile or a smirk. His expression doesn’t really fit well with the characters.
Mai is adorable, I will invest in her if I have the extra funds… question is does she also come with a bunny suit?
I really hope they do the girls from is the order a Rabbit in 1/6…. not that I haven’t already turned my nendoroids into dolls but hey….
Hi Mariana,
Azone shared this image on Twitter about Mai
Looks like she’ll come with the bunny outfit
I find the male expressions from Azone is a mixture of good sometimes and blah other times.
It’s not as consistent as it is for the girls but Azone continues to make progress.
They did well with the guys from Hetalia.
Thanks for your comment
Wow, I hate to say it, but the two Azone guy dolls look a lot better than the Petworks guy dolls. I don’t know why Petworks strayed so far from the original prototypes.
That’s the million dollar question Marna: “why [did] Petworks stray so far from the original prototypes?”
