If anyone has doubts my anime obsession predates my current work, they should be erased by the fact I just spent at least two and a half hours playing with a doll.
Today, my “Asuka” Pullip arrived in all her glory. Jun Planning, the peeps who manufacture these little lovelies, outdid themselves.
The doll, herself, is gorgeous. Her wig isn’t just red. It’s wonderfully, multi-colored red. She’s pale, pale, pale(!), and her eyes are super blue. Her makeup is age- and character-appropriate, too.
But wait, there’s more! Asuka arrived wearing her stretchy plugsuit, including the infamous red hair clips! (They are real, functional hair clips!) Plus, she has two additional outfits: her full school uniform, with red-trimmed white socks and Mary Jane shoes, and her yellow sundress with petticoat.
I’m so psyched about this. Asuka looks so cute! The designer(s) got all the details from the Neon Genesis Evangelion anime right!
