News from Doll Carnival

Posted on December 3, 2010 | 7 Comments

Doll Carnival was held this past Sunday in Japan, there was a lot of interesting news for pullip collectors this year.

Pullip’s long awaited baby brother Isul has finally been revealed. Isul, was actually first announced alongside Byul and a still as of yet unseen best friend of pullip. The first Isul release is  Apollo, he is the final doll in the Steampunk line.
Isul- Apollo
Apollo is scheduled for a 2/2012 release but his release schedule beyond that is a mystery. It’s not known if he will be a monthly release or if he will be added into the rotation with byul and taeyang (meaning there could now only four taeyangs/byuls a year :O). Unfortunately being part of the Steampunk line means he is limited to 2000 as well as being the not so fantastic price of 15,750 yen.
Isul Apollo
He is rather pretty for a boy ^^; I am curious if they actually are giving him a unique body or if they just giving him a dal/byul body.

Other interesting news from Doll Carnival… More Angelic Pretty collaborations are on the way, this time there are even minis to match :O
New Set of Angelic Pretty Dolls
I believe this set comes out in March, so obviously I need to demand the entire set for my birthday hehe ^^; Pullip/Dal/Byul are collaborations so are all priced at 13,650 yen each, I am curious about the minis though as I do not believe we have really seen collaboration minis before so I am not sure what their price will be like.  Continue reading →

Doll Carnival 2009 Event Pictures

Posted on January 20, 2010 | 1 Comment

Finally there are official pictures surfacing from last year’s Doll Carnival. Pictures gleefully borrowed from Pullip.net, there are a lot more pictures from the event on their site as well (I just grabbed the ones that interested me ^^; ).
steampunk
Finally better pictures of the steampunk set, I want them all even the damn byul (the mask manages to conceal her less desirable features).I hope they really do come out with these as they would be incredibly epic.
prototypes
Some new prototypes showed up, I am really interested in the White Rabbit taeyang the others are all really nice to but he is the one that really captivates me.
proto
More prototypes nothing really grabs my attention out of this bunch.

Of course they had some pending releases on display
audrey
I love Audrey really I do but do I or anyone else really need three different pullips of her.
shanria
I keep getting more and more intrigued by this pullip, something about her really draws me in. I plan on naming my Vintage when I eventually get her.

Japan Doll Show- Pullip Prototypes

Posted on November 23, 2009 | Leave a comment

Pictures taken from Pullip.net. I am not exactly sure who is responsible from the photography while I am grateful for the pictures, the photographer could probably benefit from a better camera ^^;.

The November/December/January releases- Nothing earth-shattering here. I am personally very excited Naomi and Edge are currently in the mail at the moment and I simply must have Richt when funds become available.

null
The January/ February/ Possible March releases- I am really looking forward to Feb’s, the more pictures I see the more I want all three. This picture seems to be confirming Dal Pinocchio, Byul Dumbo and another Audrey pullip for March. I am not sure if this Audrey is based on her portrayal of the title character from Sabrina or not as I am not familiar with the film, but there was a rumor floating around that a pullip based on her portrayal of that character was going to be the March release so I am kind of assuming it is ^^; . I still hate Byul but I so want the Dumbo Byul’s stock as I love elephants and Dumbo was one of my favorite movies as a kid.

null
Prototypes- A bunch of byul prototypes in the front some that I haven’t seen before, some that I have. I’ve noticed a lot of the byul prototype stock is nicer than some of the dals recently ^^; I think they may be trying to entice people over to the byul side. The Egyptian dal seems to be joined by an Egyptian pullip prototype, it’s kind of an interesting concept. I am not exactly sure what the other pullip prototype is at this point, is it supposed to be a Gypsy or something?

null
Doll Carnival Limiteds- Jouet, Isolde and newcomer Chantilly who is being released at this year’s doll carnival.
