For someone who find the h.Naoto collabs among the best releases, the February 2010 trio seems really REALLY promising..!
I absolutely love their stock outfits, amazing detail and several items to choose from with each doll.
I am, however, not thrilled about their somewhat bland faceup. 
There’s no sign of them at the Groove blog nor frickart yet, so I have no idea about their pricing. Frickart says 10900 yen, which translates to rougly US$120 (Groove says $151 (!), but I believe there’s a national tax on toys/goods in Japan – their mentioned price was quite higher the last time as well). The Hellcatpunks name is a fashion brand, though, so I am guessing at least $118 as with the other recent collabs.
German/European dealer plasticpop.de has loads of pics at their flickr stream!
Edited: The minis are pretty neat too, meet Vivi (mini Fanatica much?) and Janice:
Doll collector since the summer of 2008, never really played with dolls as a kid. Discovered Blythe and Pullip... (
Oh wow! No doubt on your bday money going bye bye quickly! xD
I’d like some of their stock too!
Gorgeous photos, btw!
Two words…KITTY EARS!!!
I totally agree with you about the make-up though I have to say I think the Dal, Pheobe, is absolutely divine as is. The Pullip, Chelsea, gets an A+++ for the wig and outfit but I do wish they had darkened her eye make-up and changed the eye-brows…she’s still fantastic, though. Kain just isn’t my cup of tea and I can’t quite put my finger on it as to why. I like certain elements of him, just not the whole package, if that makes any sense.
Thanks for keeping us updated! :)
I have to confess that I like none of them… I don’t think their non existent make-up goes with the outfits. :/ I love the hat on the Dal though.
And for Vivi, I think the real Fanatica mini is much cuter. Janice has a cute face though. The outfit… horrible in my opinion.
The Dal has grown quite a bit on me, and I still love all the outfits. :) Two jackets for each doll, that’s quite awesome!
Yeah, the Dal has grown on me, which normally is a good sign – the dolls I fall for immediately usually end up on my “might get” list. Kain: I don’t like his eyes, nor his hair. Outfit is swell!
Yeah, I believe they must have gotten a new photographer (highly needed, too..!).
yup! I think you’re right about that! (on both counts!)
