Good Smile Suntanned Super Sonico Figma ETC!

I received a long awaited Figma figure, Tanned Super Sonico Bathing suit version!! I have been waiting for her arrival since January! I pre-ordered her thru ebay, last December, and sadly, it took really long... Then, the release was delayed, but finally the US seller shipped her and she arrived to me Yesterday, along with other goodies!!

 We had been doing errands most of the day, but I did receive four packages, and here's what came in... Figma Suntanned Super Sonico in bathing suit, another set of miniature frames, a pair of Azone zories in red, and a vintage odd Dime store doll thru ebay!

First, I've gotten these sweet miniature vintage Sunbonnet picture frames before, here! I couldn't resist getting another set, thru etsy and cheap too!

This "Girl Doll", below, was thru auction via ebay, her end price was pretty cheap, but I wanted another variation as compared to my first doll here! Toni Two has two faces, while this one, just has the one. Now, I have sisters! LOL These dolls are quite unique!

Now, on to my Super Sonico... Back of her box below!

She is a special release version. I've seen the white skin version, but not the tan. I've also tried to search every where for pre-order info. etc., but I am guessing she was only released thru Good Smile co. and to those shops that distribute them. She doesn't show up on Hobby Search, except on Amiami here, the white skin version. But if you read the title it says, unavailable? So, I'm assuming it was cancelled?

Anywho... My review: She is so gorgeous with her voluptuous sun-kissed skin, and comes with the usual extras for figmas, extra hands, a stand, two other face plates, a pink beach ring, a blue beach ball, and a Popsicle!

 The only disappointment, is that her joints are a bit light compared to the rest of her suntanned goodness! So, when you pose her you can see the off-color joints, but if it doesn't bother you, then, don't worry! Above and below, I posed her with Haruka! They look so sweet together!!

 I really need to do a beach scene soon!!?

 I haven't tried to remove her earphones? So, I am not sure if they come off?

 Because of her curves, she is hard to dress up in Azone Pico neemo clothing. Skirts can fit, if they have the velcro all the way thru the backside, but if it doesn't her hips are hard to pass over, goodness! As for her top section, you need to have stretchy or larger tops for her to wear... I will have to try all that I have to see what can fit besides this below!?

Sonico is fun and she will be in other photos soon!!

New Arrivals from Japan, Etc.!!

New goodies in from Japan, and others!! I had many boxes to pick up via the Post Office!! Most for the shop and a few for me!! LOL

 My large box from Japan, included all vintage goodies like a retro scarlet Miyako Maki sketch bag, retro plastic miniature furniture, a lot of various girl toy goodies, and a "Little Mermaid" encyclopedia book!

 Above, I won this lot of retro girly goods. The lot included a cute green froggy coin bank, clay bunny, 70's style paper clip, cute anime girl brooch, anime cards, and jewelry bits and bobs!

 Most from this lot will be added to my shop!

 These cute anime "Love!" playing cards include some very handsomely drawn anime boys!! "Free!", boys need to watch out for these guys! LOL

 Mod paper clip magnet. I've gotten before and are fun to decorate any work space or desk!

 Gorgeous Retro anime girl brooch. I've seen this type of brooch with Licca doll art on them, but retro anime girls!! Nice! Below, back side. I will be keeping this for my collection! The main reason I bidded on the lot!

This lovely Fairytale encyclopedia book of "Little Mermaid" below. Was a welcome version!

 Quite different from the usual books of the same fairytale, and with more artwork and details in it! I must admit the artwork is lovely too, very retro! It's a board book, with nice thick pages.

 An addition to my collection of course!

 Above and below showcase some of the other fairy tales in this edition...

Then, I also won this lot of cute vintage retro plastic miniature furniture! I'm thinking they are either 1:16 in scale or 1:18?! More on them later...

Now, on to this amazingly mint and beautiful, "Princess" Scarlet Sketch bag with Miyako Maki artwork! This Swan Lake ballerina art is just beautiful!

 Just gorgeous, and one of the reasons I love Miyako Maki's works!

 One flaw, there is some bubbling of the plastic protection over the face of the artwork, but still a lovely vintage piece. I haven't seen any sketch bags for some time, but this one, I just couldn't pass up!!

 Above and below even the sticker and tag is just too cute for anime words!! The bag will be added to the shop as well!

 Lastly, I also received this interesting gal from an etsy shop below! I've seen her a few times and usually when she is already sold! But this time, I found one still Mint in Package! Wow, now I get to know more about her!

 Her name is "Toni Two", a two in one doll, with changeable faces, from "Glad" to "Mad". She is marked Hong Kong, obviously, a clone type or kitsch toy sold back in the 60s! Her construction is very simple and cheaply made, but if you like quirky weird dolls like I do sometimes, then she is one to find!!

Even her silly buck tooth is too funny!! An addition to my collection of weird ones...
