FR:Nippon has returned: Promenade collection 2013

After a two-year break, I'm thrilled to see the return of Integrity's gorgeous line of FR:Nippon girls, exclusively sold in Japan.

These dolls will be available for preorder shortly, and you can see a list of dealers on their website. Dealers should be updating their websites soon, as the dolls have a scheduled delivery date of mid to late May 2013.

Both dolls retail for 13,000 Yen (a little over $132 US) and are limited to 300 each. They have beautiful long hair, golden eyeshadow, pink lips, and applied lashes. Both dolls are simply sweet!

First up, it's Promenade Misaki with lovely warm chestnut hair and emerald eyes. She's dressed in a graphic print tee shirt, black slim fit leggings, and bronze high heeled sandals. She's carrying a wonderful FR:Nippon logo canvas tote with zipper closure. 

Our blue-eyed blonde is Promenade Amelie. She's also wearing a screen-print tee with coordinating eggplant leggings and gunmetal heeled sandals. The sandals are wonderfully detailed with buckle closures. She is carrying the same tote as Misaki.

According to the update from Integrity Toys, the packaging has been updated to "new collector friendly window packaging," which is now shoebox-style with circular window cutouts for doll storage that is both convenient and classy. Dolls still include wrist tags and stands.

Note: If you're looking for a dealer, I can recommend Midori at Doll-Collectible.com. She charges retail prices, offers both EMS and non-insured first class (deboxed) shipping services as well, and does not charge credit card or additional Paypal fees. Plus, for novice users like me, her website is in English. She also is a dealer for Momoko (PetWORKs and Sekiguchi), Azone, Obitsu, Groove (that's Pullip), and more.
