Chimikko DD Arle from Puyo Puyo

Seen this morning on Volks' Twitter! 

She looks very cute - I wish she had a sculpted mouth though.

I agree on the mouth - I’m glad there’s another licensed Chimikko but I hope they don’t all have flat mouths like this if there will be more．
She’s very cute - I think MDD Arle is the cuter doll, but Chimikko Arle does resemble the character somewhat more. And I like that she has the goofy armour with her outfit this time.

I also like that it looks like Carbuncle got shrunk down as well.

Finally! I’d been wanting to say something about this for the past week, but it was still under wraps.

I was super excited when they first announced it, but seeing this photo, I’m a bit disappointed with the new faceup…

Gonna wait to see more pics in Volks News and hopefully in person at Doll Point, but not really feeling her from this photo…

She was shown in the PuyoPuyo stream tonight too.

The Chimikko size is so cute. I hope there’s news about it being sold separately in Volks News next week, but it might wait for the summer Dream Choice update..? 

saw this on twitter and hopped over here to see if there was a thread on her yet!! she's so so cute, but personally, she looks nothing like arle to me... i think of arle as being a younger teen/tween, and honestly think something like ddp would suit her best (rather than mdd or chimikko). this is the same issue i had with volks' mdd rena, where their interpretation looked way too young for the character... like a baby-ified version of them.

what's interesting to me is that this is seemingly the second time they've done a second iteration of a previously licensed character doll (the first being the mochi-ashi versions of reimu & marisa, right?)... i'm curious as to why. is it to simply promote whatever the new body is at the time? i know arle's mdd was very popular, but that was seemingly because of how cute her sculpt was, so i'm unsure if that had any effect on this...

I think she’s pretty adorable but honestly wish her mouth was sculpted. It looks better in the irl puyo puyo stream but still.

She's so so cute!! I'm happy with my MDD Arle, but I'll admit her updated clothes did briefly tempt me....hoping they release other Puyo characters like Amitie someday!

My heart! She is so precious, especially in the stream where you can really get a sense of her scale. She looks like she'd be easy to take around with me and take photos of her. I'm a little disappointed in her price through, she's only a little cheaper than Sakura Miku and more than Chimi Anya. She her mouth isn't sculpted too. Although, I'm not sure how much that bothers me. Is she click war on the same day as Sakura Miku release?
