I’ll be getting one, how about anyone else? 😊

I received one of these bodies recently (C chest), and am not entirely enthusiastic about it.

Hip articulation is extremely limited in some directions: the legs can move forwards for sitting poses and backwards a bit for walking poses, but the body can't do a split as left-right movement is highly limited. Basically, the only reason the legs can move sideways a little is for poses where one leg somewhat crosses the other. The feet are smaller than the hands. The knees are single-jointed so seiza is impossible, but some other alternate sitting positions are possible because the knees are pegged into the thighs and lower legs and thus can rotate in them. The torso joint looks like it allows more movement, but really it just can minimally wiggle around.

Arm articulation is good.

So basically a body that looks good and mature with little clothing on, but that mostly has articulation on par with a late 1990s 'action' doll (except for the arms).

I am waiting for my Kokone to reach me. I don't have any of the azone 1/6.. or any for that matter.
How does it compare to the Pure Neemos? How easy or annoying is it to manage the body? Does the clothes for Pure Neemo fit?

That's a shame that the posing is limited, especially since the Feel/Emotion bodies were well articulated 😔 Have you found it easy to dress, and are shoes a struggle due to the small feet? I'm still going to get one myself eventually, but I'll need a head to go on it.

I can't answer any questions about Pure Neemo clothing yet, as I don't own any yet (I picked up the body because HobbySearch had it at a discount). However, I have some older Takara/Sega dolls on the way, and will test whether their clothing fits onto this body when I upgrade them to Obitsu 24/26 bodies. I expect problems with panties and the like, because the Qz body really has a big ass and thighs. I've seen on Azone's site that they specifically indicate whether clothing can fit the Qz bodies, so probably not all clothing fits.

One thing the body has going for it is that all of the joints are very stiff, so it holds poses well.
