They are really cute and detailed, I found them on Ebay and I really liked them. So I took a chance. They are not all that cheap considering that they are 1/6 scale, I would say they are about the same price as a normal human umbrella. At lest here in Norway >w< And the best part, they open. Yeah, they function just like a normal umbrella. its great~
I love these umbrellas so much, they are super cute and they work. When I get some more stands for my dolls I'll take them outside for a little photo shoot in the rain. I think that could come out really well. Yukiko decided she would model the umbrella >w<
The umbrella might be a bit big, but I still like it and it looks great. Can't wait to test it out in the rain~ In the second package we find a new set of Re-Ment miniatures. I love Re-Ment stuff. I discovered it last winter and I have been hocked ever since. The details are amazing and the Re-Ment stuff works amazing with the PureNeemo dolls. I got the Hello Kitty Natsukashi Oyatsu pack. I got this on a whim and did regret it a little. Its a nice set. but its not the best. This is my second Hello Kitty set and I'm not too impressed. I think the Rilakkuma Re-Ment stuff is better. If you want just some of the sets in this pack I would recommend just trying to get them separate on ebay. No need to pay for the whole box.
Now lets open the third package and the biggest one. I had to pay customs for this as I expected. The customs limits that we have here should really be raised as more and more people shop online. The limit that we have now was set in the 70's. But all that's for another blog post >w< Lets have a look at whats in the package~
PureNeemo Ex☆Cute Himeno
I got her on Amiami pre-owned B+/B for 8,980 jpy. I got her at a whim, she had a good price I thought and she is cute so I just got her. I have to say I did regret getting her ^^;; But now that I got her she is really adorable. She is from 2008, so is one of the older types. And then I noticed that she has a PureNeemo Advanced body. As you see her knees are seamless and have no joint. Same with the elbows. And then I noticed in her box that she came with another Advance body. And these bodies are hard to find so I was now really happy with this purchase.
So with this body she can sit and have prettier knees >w< I like the arms as i can use them to get the hands closer to the body and the face. You can mix and match all the bodies to get the look that you want. I will be playing more around with mixing later.
Here she is sitting and it looks a lot more prettier. I'm using a desk produced by Azone, more about this desk in a later post. She looks really cute and I'm now glad that I got her. She didn't come with much, but Im really glad for the extra bodies as they are hard to get. I will be getting her a Flection type body like the other later. I will give her a small body as I think that will fit her best. When I got here I was really close to sending and email to Amiami to complain about her condition. She was an B+ meaning that she would have no sign or damage. On her left eye there was a scratch. and quite the noticeable one too. I was really annoyed by this as this was a clear damage. But then today as I was taking photos of her, the scratch moved and flew away. It was a small piece of fabric dust, I believe, and after moving her around for a bit it fell off. So this made me really happy because having a scrape across her eye was not pretty.
So now all is good and I can relax. I had fun playing around with her and her clothes are just as detailed as any newer Azone clothes. Overall I'm really happy with her, the only thing thats a bit bad is that her heir seems a bit weak and brittle. I was gently brushing her hair and a few strands fell off. I'm gonna be careful with her hair from now one. But if thing goes bad and her hair falls off she can be a re-rot candidate. I would like to try this out someday. Now I need to decide on a name for her. She is gonna be a tomboyish girl so she needs a fitting name.
But now its getting late again and I need my sleep. I have reviews planned for the stuff I got yesterday. I think I have the images I need, I just now need to write it.
Nice loot! Just had to comment because I believe I was watching those two umbrellas on ebay as well. Didn't know you got both of the ones on auction. Thought of bidding as well but they became a bit too expensive for me. Maybe next time. Anyway great blog... :)
