Bjd Unboxing: Surprise! Hujoo Nano Freya

Anna came home with a surprise for us.

A new doll!

Anna says she took advantage of the Black Friday Sale at the Junky Spot and bought a brand new ball jointed doll.  All without breathing one word to me.

Still, what’s done is done.  Let us see who we have inside this rather small package.

“…Um, what kind of doll is it, Miss Hikaru?”

I’m afraid I don’t know, Yuna dear.  Anna has yet to mention any details.

“Could it be an Alien, Miss Ghost Lady? Or a bunny or a kitty…”

Enough Sakura.  And my name is not Miss Ghost Lady.

Shiro seems to have taken a particular interest in this package.  I wonder why.

Inside the box, we find more packaging, documents….

…Chocolate…

…And a tail?

“Yay! It is a kitty and it’s purple!”

Settle down Sakura!

Well, I shall allow Anna to explain this strange occurrence.

This is the Hujoo Nano Freya, a very tiny cat doll.  It’s only about 12 cm. and normally available in white or grey, but I got the special edition purple version. 

It’s a doll I’ve been eyeing for awhile.  There were only two reasons why I didn’t get one sooner.  First, it’s been out of stock at the Junkyspot for a while.  And second, I couldn’t decide between white or grey. 

So imagine my surprise when I got an email about the Junky Spot Black Friday Sale with this lovely little kitty in purple or “grape”.  Since I couldn’t decide between the other colors, why not get this one?  And on sale to boot.

It is a little different compared to the other dolls, and not just because it’s a cat.  It’s made from ABS plastic instead of resin, making it much cheaper to buy and possibly a little less fragile.  But the way it poses it a little tricky at least for me. 

I found the one foot seems to constantly want to point downward.  And I’ve been having trouble getting the poor thing to stand on its own.

But with a doll this cute, why would you want to do anything but hold it.

Anyway, the name of the company is proudly printed on the back of the head.

And trying to open the head is a little bit of a struggle. 

I found out it takes 12 mm. eyes that aren’t included.  Yep, no freebie random eyes so the poor kitty will have to have be blind until I can buy a pair.

So that is how this purple feline ended up at our doorstep.  Getting past the shock, I suppose it is something of a novelty to have such a doll.

Shiro seems quite taken by this new doll.  They do seem to see eye to eye, in more ways than one.

“…It’s so tiny, but its still cute..”

Here let me take a good look at our new little friend.

“…Um, I think you’re scaring the kitty, Miss Hikaru…”

Quite a skittish cat, why in the world would it find me frightening?

“Here little kitty, kitty.  Want to be friends? :)”

Well, it looks like Usagi isn’t as scary as Hikaru, right little kitty?

(I am not scary!)

(You are first thing in the morning.)

Anyway, the little cat seems to have settled down, but it still needs to be dressed.

So I will now present the “new doll dress”.  Given to every new ball jointed doll to wear until something more befitting is sewn for them.

“But Miss Ghost Lady, that is waaaay too big for the kitty.”

But it’s a tradition.  And besides that, the cat needs something to wear.  What else is there?

Yuna has saved the day, by lending the kitty her new blouse (see Of Bjd Fashion: Birthday Surprise Outfits Part 1 with Raglan Sleeve Top Tutorial).  It’s short enough to make a cat sized night gown.

I suppose that will do for now, even if it breaks our little tradition.

Don’t worry Hikaru, that dress will get worn very soon.

…Dare I ask why?

Because I bought another doll from the sale.

Oh dear me, another one!

To be continued tomorrow….
