Groove updated their website today. If you click the “English” banner, you are redirected to www.junplanningusa.com – which explains things about the confusing “if Jun Planning is bankrupt, why is JP still the distributor of the dolls in the US?”.

The Japanese site is awesome, packed with information. The English speaking website sadly doesn’t date longer back than 2009 as far as Pullips go – I hope they will add to it in the time to come (they have quite a bit to add to the rest of the content pages as well..!).

Groove has been posting to their blog like crazy this last week, in the preparations of the upcoming Doll Carnival this Sunday. They’ve posted several entries showing outfits which will be for sale (made by different Pullip customizers/dealers), and they’ve also finally decided to release the long since planned BJD Hawahh, a 57cm beauty – I hope they use “proper” resin this time so that they will be on topic for DoA!

Apologies for breaking the pretty LJ layout…

I don’t think there’s one single photo except for the bag close up which is focused correctly… and what’s with the dull colours? Weird, for such a bright and colourful line.

Other than that, the Angelic Pretty (XD) dolls are now displayed on the AP website; http://www.angelicpretty.com/ I am still not swayed, I want the prototype Dal and Byul back. :P

Groove Inc, Mango Park’s company which now has taken over Pullips from Jun Planning, has launched its blog: http://groovetoys.blog40.fc2.com/ [in English]

Thanks to minnie at Pullip Fiction for the pointer! :)
