I’ve finally started working my way through my stack of new birthday dolls. I decided that opening them all at once would be way too overwhelming so I am going to open them one at a time on a rather lackadaisical schedule (ie. whenever I feel like it).  Akoya is a part of the ninja set of pullip and company that was released this past December.

Overall I think Akoya is a gorgeous doll but I wish she her ninja outfit had a different color palette as it does not seem too stealthy and ninja-like to me.


I especially love her eye make up and lips.

I decided to name my Akoya, Kunoichi as I like the anonymousness of it as it literally means female ninja in Japanese.

While Kunoichi does come with a sword, the one she is pictured with is not her stock sword as her stock one broke while I deboxing her Kunoichi decided to use a double katana from one of my Final Fantasy Play Arts figures for the photos.

Kunoichi is a really pretty girl so I feel kind of greedy saying I wanted a bit more from her, her face up is gorgeous but I have been wanting a ninja pullip for years and her ninja stock just doesn’t seem to live up to my expectations. I think I may need to go shopping for some slightly better ninja clothes and maybe a teal wig.
