Jun Planning's New Steampunk Dolls

Your faithful correspondents have a not-so-secret fascination with dolls and steampunk. So imagine our surprise when we stumbled upon the Comic-Con Exhibitor booth for Jun Planning, makers of the popular Pullip doll series, and saw a group of posable, adorable steampunks staring straight at us.

Jun Planning's Scot Reyes told us that these dolls are set to come out early next year. But that isn't all we caught at the stall. The company's collaboration with Japanese sweet Lolita fashion company Angelic Pretty is a hot seller and their previous collaboration with the unreleased-in-the-US manga franchise Black Butler was so popular that a second wave of themed dolls is on the way. Later this year, Pullip will be releasing a series of hot, Jrock dolls that look like they're ready to hit up a Malice Mizer reunion show. Then there is the new Age Princess Pullip line, also set for a fall release, that's based on the incredibly popular himegyaru look in Japan, which features lots of teased blonde hair and tiaras.
