Alice Cherry Blossom

More on the newly discovered Alice Cherry Blossom Line:

=====================

Based on the highly collectible and Oh-so-Expensive, vinyl doll line created by Holland's renowned pig artist, Charles Stephan - "Alice Cherry Blossom" figures are 2.5 inches tall - and are all created/designed in collaboration with South Korea's BJD makers, Elfdoll.  These are being produced by  Designer Vinyl - which also producers of Toy2R goods, most notably Qee - which makes the whole project quite an International one collaboration.  Such are the BEST offerings nowadays!

 

The packaging shows 5 different offerings: 1) Alice Cherry Blossom, 2) Gothic Hoody Alice, 3) Ballerina Alice,  4) School Angel Alice & 5) School Angel Billie.  I broke down and got Alice in Cherry Blossom and School Angel versions....  they look nice together - color theme wise....  but now I see School Angel Billie is needed to match School Angel Alice...  hmmmmmmm......

Just back from a week long getaway to Jeju Island, South Korea last week....  it was nice, beautiful really....  relaxing and a lot of fun...  only thing missing was Be@rbrick sighting....   not a single Be@rbrick in sight ('cept for the three that I carried with me..)....  Everywhere I looked - NOTHING...   I did spot  little Qees and China made copies of Be@rbrick waanabees - but that was all...  So, not a single purchase to remember the trip by.... 

 

Still, I am not complaining as, upon my return, waiting for my at the mail box was a package from JAPAN....  weeeeeeiiiiiiii....  it's raining be@rbricks, alright!!!  More than half of the collection I did not have yet - so they are a nice amount addition to my collection....  the others will try to sell off here and there.....  :)

Everything's coming up DORAEMON lately...   why, because this Popular Manga/Anime character celebrates a BIGGIE...  100th BDay before the birth of Doraemon!!!  Does not compute to most, am sure, but you see - in the story of Doraemon, he was born September 3, 2112 - a year from now....  Still, confusing?  well, nevermind, instead FEAST yourself on a few DORAEMON goodies coming out at all directions celebrating this big event...

 

In Kawasaki City, the birthplace of the late Doraemon co-creator Fujiko F. Fujio (born Hiroshi Fujimoto), is giving away Doraemon's certificate of residence at the city for free. The city presented Doraemon himself with his certificate at the local Fujiko F. Fujio Museum yesterday afternoon, his actual Bday... The museum btw, opened  exactly a year ago on September 3, 2011, and has wowed over  500,000th visitors so far....

 

The official Doraemon Channel website is celebrating the anniversary with a cuuuute Flash Animation.  CLICK HERE!
