This is a static copy of In the Rose Garden, which existed as the center of the western Utena fandom for years. Enjoy. :)

Utena BJD
Does anyone know when the Utena azone (BJD) doll will be released and how much money it will cost? Thanks!

Re: Utena BJD
From what I've been able to gather, it looks like it will coming out in the fall this year:
http://kitasite.net/b/2013/02/27/7715/
Azone, the manufacturer, doesn't appear to have it listed on their site yet (http://www.azone-int.jp/), but I can't read Japanese. This is just from I was able to muddle though via Google translate & the few Japanese search terms that I have cut & pasted.
Quotes that I have seen from some BJD forums seem to think the price will be set around $600 - $650 USD, or 60,000 - 65,000 yen. I don't know too much about BJDs, but I definitely want one of these; it seems like this one is going to be pretty large.

Re: Utena BJD
Okay, thank you! I really want one of these too, but its a bit out of my price range. So I'm probably try to find one cheaper if it's going to be 600. Thanks again!!

Ouch. 
I'm just glad there's no Anthy one, because that would be even more painful and hard to resist.

New pictures from Crunchyroll!

I have to say, she's greatly improved from the initial pictures of the doll, like the one linked to in this thread earlier. And I think all they did was give her a new expression, but it helped a lot - she looks a lot more Utena-like now! I really want it. ;_;

Re: Utena BJD
Is it just me, or did they make the proportions a little more realistic? She seems to have a body shape more fitting for an athletic girl in real life than her noodly SKU depiction.

Re: Utena BJD
I wonder if you can find it cheaper someplace else.

Sites like AmiAmi usually have a sale after an item has been out for a while. (They already have a 6% discount on the doll.) But usually the max they offer is a 30% discount, which is still around $429. D: The only way I'd be able to afford it is if they had an 80% sale.
