Just before I left the country I put in an order for one of my favourite translucent girls of all time (besides Miss Sally Rice and Margo Unique Girl) – the wonderfully funky, and spunky, Nostalgic Pop (also known affectionately as NosPop).

Alice in Steampunk World – A Review
A short break in-between posts of adventures of Nori and I, when I arrived home I was met with an almost-embarrassing amount of mail. But, among those was dolly mail, and one of the girls who had arrived was the much-anticipated Pullip Alice in Steampunk World.
Tokidoki Luna – Filled with Attitude
Groove has been going on a rampage where they’ve been re-releasing some old favourites. When they announced that Luna was making a return many collectors (myself included) jumped on it. She used to be over $300USD, and has now returned to $144 USD on Pullipstyle.
tokidoki x Hello Kitty Violetta Pullip
Spunk. Attitude. Violetta just rocks it. In between the Alice releases and Anime collabs, every now and again Groove releases an amazing Pullip, and with Violetta, they really hit the nail on the head. On JPGroove’s website she is listed as the most popular release of 2014, and it’s pretty easy to see why once you have her in your hands.
A Quickie Review on Natrume Wigs
I was asked on Facebook to do a quick review of Natrume’s Mohair Wigs. Natrume runs a shop on Etsy that sells Mohair wigs made only from Tibetan mohair fibres. Our model for today is Aurelia, who is kindly modelling the “Latte” coloured Pullip wig for us.
Alice is Romantic, a Review.
Romantic Alice was a Pullip release in 2011. Popular in her heyday, she disappeared off shelves for a long time, selling out, and being offered for large sums of money on the second hand market. And then one day, Groove re-released her, and I could not preorder her fast enough.
New outfits from Nénelle et Lalluli
One of the reasons I love dolls so much is that I spent an inordinate amount of time stalking Rinoninha’s flickr. She would make the most beautiful outfits for her dolls, and I was over […]
Mail Day & Jiajia Doll Clothing Review
Mail days are the best – and sometimes you get an unexpected surprise!
I say unexpected because I ordered these lovely clothes from Jiajia Doll some time in January, and they just arrived now (mid-late April!). This is probably my main complaint with the order – that it took so long. When you receive the clothes though, you have to understand due to the detail that is put into them. Jiajia makes the stock to order, so she does not have any on hand.
Bianca Pearl Review
I finally had some time to take some photographs of Bianca Pearl recently. Bianca Pearl is a limited edition CWC exclusive released in September of 2014. She was a major wishlist item for me, and it was only when I found her on Yahoo Japan for a (ridiculously) good price, was my lemming finally healed. She arrived, packed and perfect (I could not find the dent the seller was speaking of) in her pretty little box.
The First Blythe – Induction by Fire
I’m a Pullip girl at heart. I love their stock, the detail, the collabs, the potential for customs. Blythe’s were interesting to me but I did not understand the hobby at the time – I […]
