New girl in town: Momoko Merry go round

      26 Comments on New girl in town: Momoko Merry go round

Hello everybody! How fast is this year going? Can’t believe it’s february already!!! Good thing I managed to take a photo of my pure neemo girl before january ended, to keep my one photo a month challenge up and running, that arrival was on point!

And in the topic of arrivals, there’s a new momoko girl in this town. She’s the Merry go round edition that I found on amiami, which is great because there were other things in the store I needed, but that’s for another day.

At first I was going to go for the Fruity Kakigoori one because I liked the hair a bit better, but I just couldn’t justify the price for a doll I wouldn’t be using the outfit, especially considering my girls have nothing besides their stock clothes (and a dress I got from taobao that just arrived). For almost the same price, the merry go round girl got me a beautiful doll, gorgeous boots and a nice set of clothes. And the hair is lovely too, it just doesn’t have the pink streak I liked on the other haha. Some of you have seen this girl recently on Alasse’s blog too, as She got the same girl (more like I got the same doll as her, since she bought it first :P).

I was surprised to see this doll came with a stand, while Lady long legs didn’t, though I was aware older releases included a stand.

I also got a 1/6 scale bike from taobao so I decided to do a simple shot of this girl standing next to it. Of course I set the bike too far from her, so it looks tiny! But I promise the scale is very nice. Lesson learned.

Momoko

Hope you are having an amazing weekend!

      Thank you!!!! The bicycle is very detailed and it even comes with a bag that I think goes attached to the back of it? couldn’t figure it out lol. This girl is lovely, I’m never too sure with blonde dolls but I just fell in love with her face the moment I saw her 😀 wish I could keep her in her stand next to me always, but this place is too dusty for that so I’ll have to put her in the box again soon.

    Well you already know how much I love the fact we have similar tastes in dolls. It’s pretty dang awesome!

    The bike is so detailed. Can she “ride” it? And I totally agree on her outfit, look, everything. She has such a great outfit and style. That’s what attracted me to her too. Did you see on Dollyinsider the next Momoko to be released in February? Winter something or other. I haven’t seen her pop up on Amiami yet.

    Many congratulations on the new addition! Are you Momoko addicted now 🙂

      She can sit on the bike but I think her legs might be too long for her to look comfortable in it. Maybe pure neemos are a better fit in that way. The pedals can move and so the front part of the bike, is really neat!!! I think I’ll use it often, until I get bored of seeing it haha.
      I did see the new momoko girl but the eyebrows are a bit too light for the hair so I’m not too convinced. Wish I had the coat though!! Love it~ so comfy and casual. What did you think of her??
      Thank you!!! I’m loving all my new dolls 😀 going outside the bjd world has been really fun!

        I just find 1/6 scale so much easier to find props for! And the dioramas for this scale don’t take up so much space either! I’m really glad you are enjoying exploring outside the bjd world. I’ve been doing the same except for all my doll lines. I’ve discovered some art dolls in the vinyl material mainly in the 16′ size. which look awesome. There’s even a doll maker in Australia of one of these dolls. Prices are a bit on the higher end for me though but I’m always keeping an eye out for sales!

        I love the new Momoko’s coat too. She’s pretty but not one I will add to my collection. I do like her hairstyle though. It’s a shame that a lot of really lovely ones were either click war dolls or exclusive to Japan dolls. There have been a few that have been of the latter variety. I just hope it doesn’t turn into a trend.

          I haven’t been able to find many props yet, but I agree on how good the scale is. Dioramas are a thing I can plan on doing now where before I could only dream on making. I’m very happy you helped me get out of the BJD part and explore other things, still love my BJDs but it’s fun to have more to choose from. Still I don’t think I’ll venture on too many things at once or having more to choose from will become a bad thing instead of good haha.
          I totally agree, love the new girl’s hair, and I’m sad they keep doing so many exclusive releases, I want to bring more Momokos home :D! Most editions I want are sold out everywhere.

    Congrats Alejandra. The bike is really neat too! It’s not such a bad thing when you actually learn something from your mistakes, now you just need to retake that photo. 🙂
    Hugs,

    Wait..? What! It’s February? When did that happen? It was just the middle of January the other day. How time flies.

    It is really amazing how fast time goes by. I can almost feel the wind of the speed in my hair. 🙂
    Gongrats on your beautiful girl! And I just love the bike, great prop. Wonderful photo! I found even some motorcycle props in the model Vespa, in different colors. I have been several times at AmiAmi, and there is a lot of cute things – found socks in bright colors and I do love socks. And the prices are not so bad, at all.
    Hope that you had a nice weekend. Happy new week!

      Thanks!! Making them is not an option, I can’t sew hahaha, but I’ll get her more clothes at some point :D!!! I tried taobao but that didn’t go too well, I only found a few things that were interesting, so Iguess I’ll have to turn somehwere else, which will hurt my wallet even worst hahaha, but it’s all good :D!!
