Takara is offering a new doll in the blythe line. She is larger than a petite blythe but smaller than a neo blythe, she is appropriately named Middie.

[ Middie Blythe Stats ]
Size (height): About 20cm
Eye color: 1 color (eye direction is moveable from left to right)
Eyelids: Set (do not close or open)
Neck: Moveable to left and right
Arm: Moveable
Waist: Stable (does not twist)
Knee: Stable (does not bend)

The eye movement reminds me of pullip who can also only look from side to side. To me the pictures of her almost make it seem like she would be a good companion of dal and byul rather than blythe.  The one real photo of her we have makes her neck look delightfully unhinged, something just disturbs me about her neck angle it just looks to unnatural. I am really anxious to find out more about Middie such as her price. I will probably get one in the future, I have a feeling the first one released in the line will be hard to get a hold of as so many people are going to try and get one to try them out so I will probably wait for a redhead or a  fantasy colored release before pouncing on one.

Blythedoll posted a slightly creepy video of the eye/neck movement. Middie does look promising, I am very excited about her.
