But those 10th anniversary re-releases weren&#8217;t very interesting to me because the outfits weren&#8217;t that much to my taste&#8230; nor did they include the face sculpts that I like best. Although, now later on the nikkori versions of Cheshire Cat Aika and regular Tick Tock Rabbit Himeno have grown on me &#8211; and I&#8217;d love to get Aika&#8217;s red dress and ribbon hairband for Yumei.

But preferably as little as possible, ahah. So far I&#8217;ve had good luck with the others. But I certainly hope that the Swan Lake Raili won&#8217;t be limited &#8211; I&#8217;ll definitely pre-order her! T__T Finally a cute Raili of my own, eheh~ I really love that outfit, it has so many cute little details. >u< And her blue eyes are definitely lovely~ I just giggled a little because she seems like she'll be released in summer - her outfit looks very wintery to me, haha. xD I'd definitely want to photograph her out in the snow~ &hearts;\n\nAnd also, quite surprisingly I really love the new <a href=\"http:\/\/myfigurecollection.net\/item\/280601\">Little Briar Rose Lien<\/a>! ;u; She hasn&#8217;t exactly been one of my favourite faces, although her Majokko 1.1 version has grown on me&#8230; but this one is just sooo pretty, I completely adore her outfit, it&#8217;s to die for! T__T &hearts; She&#8217;d be another green-eyed blonde girl, but&#8230; ugh, I want her too! xD I should&#8217;ve known that after many not-so-interesting releases, Azone is going to troll me hard this year, ahah. xD Fingers crossed neither of these girls will be limited. ;___; &hearts;<\/p>\n<p>&#8230; although, it doesn&#8217;t end here. When I was digging around for more info, I also spotted that there will be two versions of Koron for this series too. She also isn&#8217;t my biggest favourite, but as I&#8217;ve seen her in other people&#8217;s photos, she&#8217;s grown on me. But, I right about died at the <a href=\"http:\/\/myfigurecollection.net\/item\/280599\">Wolf version of Koron<\/a>! THAT WOLF HAT OMG! xD It&#8217;s soooo adorable, I love animal hats on dolls so much, haha~ Well, her outfit as a whole is lovely and she also has really beautiful blue eyes. ;__; She, too, has silver hair, though&#8230; and I generally like the regular smile better for Koron, than the :3 mouth&#8230; the <a href=\"http:\/\/myfigurecollection.net\/item\/280600\">Little Red Hood<\/a> would have the mouth that I like better, but she&#8217;s blonde with green eyes&#8230; blue eyes definitely trump in this case. And the wolf hat. xD I really, really, hope that if one of them is the DS version, it would be the Little Red Hood one&#8230; because I really want the Wolf version, ugh. Those eyes and that hat, I can&#8217;t get over them. xD<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/myfigurecollection.net\/item\/280602\">Pink! Pink! a la Mode Sahra<\/a> is really cute, too&#8230; but she&#8217;s not a must-have, I&#8217;d rather get the <a href=\"http:\/\/myfigurecollection.net\/item\/271604\">Happy New Year 2015 Sahra<\/a> because I love her kimono and brown hair&#8230; but she&#8217;s a DS version so hunting her down is a bit more challenging &#8217;cause I&#8217;m sure her second hand prices just keep going up over time&#8230; I couldn&#8217;t afford to order her when she was released, so I&#8217;ll have to keep an eye on Y!J and Amazon. Perhaps I&#8217;ll get lucky at some point. :3<\/p>\n<p>But yeah, this will certainly be a Azone year for me! I did already promise that I wouldn&#8217;t buy any BJDs this year because 2014 was crazy with all the limiteds &#8212; only exceptions will be if Bimong re-releases Narins and Soom has a Faery FCS including Asis and Gray skin &#8212; so I can fully focus on gathering more cute little neemos. They&#8217;re friendlier for my budget, too, ahah. xD I can&#8217;t wait for some new info on these cuties!! &hearts;<\/p>\n<p><center>Here are some better photos that one of my contacts on flickr, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/foto-artemis\/\" target=\"artemis\">\u0386\u03c1\u03c4\u03b5\u03bc\u03b9\u03c2<\/a>. posted:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/foto-artemis\/16237928166\" title=\"15012018 by \u0386\u03c1\u03c4\u03b5\u03bc\u03b9\u03c2, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7556\/16237928166_c9541a6bd2_z.jpg\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" alt=\"15012018\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/foto-artemis\/16262029501\" title=\"15012225 by \u0386\u03c1\u03c4\u03b5\u03bc\u03b9\u03c2, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7550\/16262029501_4e8bca306c_z.jpg\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" alt=\"15012225\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/foto-artemis\/16077974757\" title=\"15012039 by \u0386\u03c1\u03c4\u03b5\u03bc\u03b9\u03c2, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7489\/16077974757_234a5ebf48_z.jpg\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" alt=\"15012039\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/foto-artemis\/16076472350\" title=\"15012153 by \u0386\u03c1\u03c4\u03b5\u03bc\u03b9\u03c2, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7543\/16076472350_5b0431d35b_z.jpg\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" alt=\"15012153\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/foto-artemis\/16077711079\" title=\"15012025 by \u0386\u03c1\u03c4\u03b5\u03bc\u03b9\u03c2, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7478\/16077711079_443d0aeb33_z.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" alt=\"15012025\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/foto-artemis\/16262012231\" title=\"15012156 by \u0386\u03c1\u03c4\u03b5\u03bc\u03b9\u03c2, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7578\/16262012231_f77f9edf5b_z.jpg\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" alt=\"15012156\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/foto-artemis\/16262991152\" title=\"15012049 by \u0386\u03c1\u03c4\u03b5\u03bc\u03b9\u03c2, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7534\/16262991152_85661d10f8_z.jpg\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" alt=\"15012049\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Aahhh, so much cuteness! *___* &hearts;<\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last year I wasn&#8217;t terribly excited about the Azone releases &#8212; apart from Haru Usagi-san Mia and Mio of course, haha.
