Ningyou is a pullip (and figure although they have only started to show up in the fourth issue) magazine made by the people behind the Dolly Market forum. The magazine itself in general is really nice to look at with gorgeous photos submitted from pullip collectors around the world but a quick read. Emphasis is on photos because let’s face it Pullips are by their very nature a visual thing.

The fourth issue happened to arrive in the mail last week. Clementine (my beloved pullip Papin) was quite pleasantly surprised that her and several of the other members of the rainbow mafia (ie. my many, many Papins) were on the cover. The theme for this issue was Color Wonderful and what could possibly be more colorful than the rainbow mafia?

I have some additional photos in the magazine as well, alongside reviews of new releases that I wrote. I was approached a while ago to do reviews for new releases for the magazine, writing something so subjective kind of makes me uncomfortable as I just lack the eloquence to poetically dissect a doll (or a figure hence why I don’t really write reviews here) but  I’m happy to help with whatever I can. I’ve had my photos/reviews in three issues now, I was interviewed in the 2nd issue and now I have officially made the cover 😀 Somewhat ironically the month Papin is featured on the cover is the same month that she happened to sell out in.
