Pictures of the upcoming Tenjo Utena and Himemiya Anthy Pullip Dolls have appeared! They will be approximately 31cm in height. Preorders will start on 1pm JST on 19th September for Â¥21600. The release date is supposedly some time in December 2017. Finally we have a Himemiya Anthy figure …  of sorts.

You'll (eventually) be able to preorder them here: https://www.jgroove.jp or https://item.rakuten.co.jp/groove/c/0000000279/

Also, if you're lucky enough to be in Japan, the dolls will be displayed at the Animate Cafè Shop in Ikebukuro during pre-order period. More pics to come!

I am so WEAK against Pullip dolls! They are so gorgeous!!!  If we're lucky this English run store may carry them: http://pullipstyle.com/pullipstyle/

Look at Anthy's DRESS! Sorry every one, fan girling to death over here.

Damn, those dolls are really cute

Those dolls are sooo cute!! I want them

There is akio perfume. So... I need someone to remake the old spice akio amv because now your man CAN smell like him!

I fucking have to own the Akio one. Like...it's not an option for me? But I also already bought the Anthy and Utena ones, and it was a pain to ship them and they've been at sea for like two months now...

But...

I'm going to wait. 1. for fucking overtime, I'm broke beyond all reckoning, and 2. ...no Touga? Really? I'm very suspicious now and wondering if more are going to come out.

In the meantime:

If I weren't expecting a baby this is what all my money would go to. ALL OF IT.

As is someone has to let me know how the Juri and Akio scents are!  I may splurge and get the Anthy perfume for Christmas.

So uh the problem is this. They won't ship again, since there's a ban on shipping alcohol based products out if Japan. In fact no proxy services will do it. It was apparently a fluke that they shipped the two they did and its not a mistake they'll repeat.

Does anyone know anyone in Japan? Or is anyone going? I would risk it not passing customs if someone's willing to ship it.

There has got to be a good damn solution to this problem!

The solution is to get friends in Japan to ship it on the down-low by surface, and hope for the best. I am seriously considering risking this, given how fucking unlikely it is I'm going to survive the rest of my life without Akio perfume.

That said, I have a feeling they're going to do another run. Like him or not, not having a Touga perfume already is extremely suspicious.

I thought the same thing!  I bet they will put out fragrances for Saionji, Touga, Nanami, and probably other characters.  I wonder what Wakaba's would be like? (please no onion)

If you know someone, I would totally jump on the risk taking train. Rose is my favorite scent so this is all a MUST HAVE. I can compensate anyone that can help me.

Those fucking dolls tbh creep into the uncanny valley for me and I don't think I'd want them in my house, as beautiful as they are.

As for the perfumes, I'm still working on finding some means to get them to me. I mean, obviously not any legal means, since it's illegal to ship them, and Canada doesn't allow them to be imported, but like...I can order from Luckyscent, which sells exclusively high end and niche perfumes and is totally okay with shipping them so.....

We'll see. I swear to God I will eat my Touga plush if they don't release a Touga perfume. The fruit is so low it's dragging behind them when they walk, like come oooon.

I know, this is just fucking painful this year.

I really like the little sword, too. There is also going to be a rose crest I think, they're gonna sell it for like 18000 yen.

Still, the thing I'd really want they haven't announced having, which would be an equivalent to these:

BTW this is literally the third time I've seen the Touga one ever, and the first time I've seen the Utena one at all. The only others I saw sell after market were two Miki and Kozue ones. My holy grail has been the Saionji one, but I've never seen it. These were insane limited, so like...if that's your jam, this is probably one of your only shots at either. I got the Touga one right when it showed up and I didn't pay that for it, but at this point this is probably the only way you'll get either of them.

So far they haven't mentioned anything like that in this exhibit, though, so I'm curious if they'll have that kind of swag? Maybe they think we're all too tapped out financially at this point, rofl

It's a new Rose Seal ring. And it's sweet

(AND expensive; please please makes the goods stahp I'm dying)

I wonder if this is going to be sold outside the event?  Hopefully so; I haven't seen that teacup set outside of the event page (/cry).

This is pretty … costly! LOL. I wonder what the rings from Nozomi's upcoming Blu-Ray set will look like. Somehow, I doubt it's these. Most probably the regular ones that's been released years ago.

At first I was kinda meh about that thing, but it looks full of neat little graphics and stuff I'd love to lift for site design...
