Groove has put up pictures and information about the third girl in the special “fan appreciation” series of Pullips; Sola – limited to the Japanese audience. I am not particularly enthusiastic, I think the first one (Lala, the pink haired one) is the nicest of the three. Except, perhaps, for the eye chips – Sola’s seem nicer and not so “Aquel-ish”. But, as Groove mentions in their blog, if the translator is to be trusted, these are meant to be customized – I guess that’s why they are so simplistic in every aspect, and why their price can be held as low. Sola is being released to the Japanese market from several official dealers, the price is 7.350 yen.

I have to say, though, that I am actually more intrigued by the upcoming Blythe release; “Punkaholic People”..!

Release date Aug 28, price 13.500 yen (appr US$143).
