Pullip Tokidoki Luna Review

Pullip Tokidoki Luna Review

Last month I bought my very first Pullip doll, Tokidoki Luna.  I knew when I first saw her that I had to have her.  Well, it took me a while to decide whether or not I was going to actually keep her in the box or take her out.  Today I couldn't resist the temptation any longer and I removed her from the box.  She is even more beautiful out of the box and I'm so glad that I took her out.

If you are interested in purchasing her, she is on sale at PullipStyle for $144.00 + Free Shipping if you choose "Best Way" for shipping at checkout.  (In stock at time of posting).

Here is the site's official description of her:

tokidoki is … a brand that was created by SIMONE LEGNO, an artist from Rome, Italy who loves Japan. The brand is based on cute, funny, and sexy concept (www.tokidoki.it) Designs that reflect tokidoki’s elements are reflected throughout the dolls. Her hair is a mix of different colors, showing a variety of facial expressions depending on the angle. *The Tattoo on her body are stickers. Included tattoo stickers can be enjoyed in different ways.

Accessories: Adios Beanie, Bag, Donutella Plush, Tattoo style Stickers, Doll Stand.
(It's not listed in the description, but she also comes with a second outfit, shirt/shorts).

Here are some pictures of her in box:

Here are some pictures of her out of the box:
Close-up of her face-up her eye color seems solid black as far as I can tell.  (this is not a shirt she came with).

Here she is wearing her skirt, Unicorno shirt, striped socks, holding her Tokidoki Donutella plush doll and Tokidoki messenger bag.  I really love the bag.  It actually can zip open and closed. 

I love this skirt.  It's very silky and soft.  It lays above her hips and has a velcro enclosure on the back.  I would be careful with it though.  A piece of the inside of the skirt was stuck to a piece of velcro when I took her out of the box and it was tearing at the skirt's hem pretty easily.  Luckily it was only the inside of the skirt and it didn't fray passed the sewing.  The shirt is very cute, but the bottom of my doll's keeps coming out and showing the underpart in the front.  It is hard to get it to stay down.  This particular shirt only has velcro on the back at the top so the bottom of the shirt doesn't close fully.
Here she is wearing her Adios beanie.  The beanie is very soft and has a silky texture on the inside.  It's well made, and the skull applique is sewn on.
Here is a full shot of her secondary outfit.  Shirt/shorts.  The shorts are very thin and actually my doll's pair appears to be not sewn that well.  The seam is not folded very far in and was actually not sewn at all in one part which is kind of a bummer.  They are soft though.  The longer shirt is very well made.  It seems sturdy and the velcro in the back goes from the top to bottom and lines up well.
Donutella up close front.  She is so cute!

Donutella up close Back.  Where they attached the head wasn't sewn very well so I feel like this could unravel and fall apart.  It would be an easy fix, but still.

Here is a closer picture of the bottom of the shirt.  I know it's hard to tell but the inside of the shirt on the bottom keeps unfolding and coming out.  It's hard to keep it where it belongs.
Overall I think she is a beautiful doll.  Her makeup is lovely.  Her hair is not very soft and I've read that it can frizz really easily.  Mine is not bad so far.  Just a few small areas are having problems, but nothing serious.  If you are a fan of Pullip dolls and/or Tokidoki, I definitely think she is worth it.

On another note, I have caught the Pullip bug and can't wait to get another.  Save, save, save time as they are quite expensive.  Pullip Sfoglia is the next one I'm going to get someday. (I hope).  She's so lovely!

Here's a quick stock photo of her:

  2. Thank you! Yes she is very beautiful. I love her a lot. I usually order from PullipStyle since they ship throughout the US and have competitive prices on these dolls. I did get my Angelic Pretty Sfoglia too! I will be making a review on her soon. She is my very favorite.

  3. I have a clarification to make about her beanie hat. I had said that the skull applique was sewn on, however I was wrong. After closer inspection I realize that it's not sewn on. It appears to be glued on. It's still very sturdy.
