H.NAOTO AND PULLIP RELEASE GOTHIC LOLITA DOLLS.
Whenever I try on tiny Japanese clothes, I’m convinced that only a doll could fit in them. Well, now that’s literally the case. Early next year, Pullip is releasing three figures dressed à la Gothic Lolita by designer h.NAOTO.
Pullip dolls hit Japan in 2003 and quickly became trendy collectables. The dolls are twelve inches tall; each has an oversized head and anime eyes that can be manipulated with a lever. New styles are released monthly, along with the occasional limited-edition. I’m not fond of dolls, but I do appreciate the Gothic, Sweet, and Punk Lolita clothes that many Pullips sport.
Soon available for pre-order ($98 each) is the spawn of Pullip and designer Hirooka Naoto. The details of the clothes and accessories are jaw-dropping – dig those studded leather chokers! Fortunately for me, h.NAOTO is also releasing human-sized versions of these outfits. From left to right, the dolls are:
+ Dal (Taeyang’s sister and Pullip’s fashion rival), in a casual Punk Lolita outfit from the Hangry & Angry collection. I’d wear her kitty-ears hoodie and matching knee-highs. [Pre-order in Jan 08; ships on Feb 28]
+ Pullip Prunella, in a layered Goth Loli dress from the Frill collection. She sports a lacy white hat and holds a tote bag stamped with the brand logo. [Pre-order in Jan 08; ships in Feb 08]
+ Taeyang Horison (Pullip’s boyfriend), in punk gear from h.ANARCHY. The website asks: “Why don’t you ask your boy friend to dress matching with TAEYANG HORISON?” Somehow, I don’t think that’d go over so well. [Pre-order in Feb 08; ships on Mar 30]
You can view more styles and order Pullips from Valley of the Dolls. My LA buddies can poke their heads into the flagship US store at 8230 Beverly Blvd, Suite 1.
