Post #100 is Sakurana!

I'm going to re-take the shots tomorrow. It was too cloudy, and mosquitoes everywhere. They were even biting Sakurana through her jeans!

Sakurana Shamrock Air edition

Sakurana came today! The doll is more action-figure like, and comes with an extra set of gripping hands and a pair of flat feet. It's designed for both the arms and hands to detach. She also came with her own stand.

The dress quality is OK, the inside of the skirt is serged. I'm not a big fan of shiny satin, but it is a human-clothes quality satin. Both her feet are a big non-standard size.
I know I need a real lightbox and real lights. I need it especially now that my very old camera is losing its dying. This is the real color of Sakurana, pale skin and a blazing pink fashion.

What timing!

A few days ago, YouTube toy reviewer Mike Mozart did a clip about Bandai and Takara Barbie. Most of the 4,500 comments seem positive, which is pretty amazing considering how horrible YouTube comments usually are.
