REVIEW: Nebulous Stars Petulia & Marinia

 

I'm so happy the Nebulous Stars dolls are now on Amazon! It was a total pain to get someone in Canada to ship Nebulia to me. Amazon has all three for $49.99 each. I've seen each one with a coupon, too. I'm hoping they do well enough that we keep getting more in this line. I really want them to get to Eclipsia and Hazelia!

So here we have Petulia on the left and Marinia on the right. 

The art for Nebulous Stars is mind-blowingly gorgeous. 

If I had the space, I would keep these boxes, but sadly no room.

So here is Petulia.

She wears a dress with a skirt of multiple layers of petals over leggings. 

 

They used a partial updo and a bit of gel to approximate her flower-like hairstyle. 

I love the makeup on these girls. (The shiny bit is some gel I need to clean off.)

Another angle on the makeup. 

The dress. 

Accessory-wise, she has a necklace, two arm pieces and that little plastic detail on her dress. 

The leggings. 

She's the only one to have sneakers. Nebulia and Marinia have flats. 

One more makeup angle. I love the petal details!

Her pamphlet folds out to have a lot of different language options, which is really cool. 

She also came with a little booklet of Nebulous Stars products, which is the same one Nebulia came with. 

And here's Marinia!

Man, is she gorgeous. I didn't think she'd be my fave, but she is. 

I keep pushing her hair away from her face. The tiara moves it in front of her eyes more than I like, but I'm not detaching the tiara from her head. 

Trying to show more detail on the makeup. It's so gorgeous. 

Her dress is the only thing I'm disappointed in. The fit is pretty bad at the top. 

I moved the velcro to be as tight as it can and still be attached, but it's still not a good fit. Oh, well. She's so gorgeous, she can pull off a too big top. 

Marinia's accessories are the tiara, two bracelet pieces, and the plastic detail on her dress.

Her shoes are like Nebulia's. The part that goes up her calf is completely separate and I'm leaving the plastic bands on to hold them down. 

Here are her pamphlets. 

And the other girls' feet. 

All three together! Nebulia is definitely still the most striking. It's the eyes. She also has the best detail level in her outfit, even though I prefer the design of the other two. 

Petulia and Nebulia have slightly similar eyes, but having the darker bit at the top really helps Petulia look less odd. 

Marinia has the big starey eyes, too, but it's much less evident. 

She's so beautiful! 

One final pic. Again, SO HAPPY to see this line continue and that they're now accessible to American fans. (I wish they'd get the plush on Amazon, too.) I'm hoping these do well. They're still on the outlier side honestly. They're an odd size at 15" and they're not articulated so the adult collector snobs would stick their noses up at that. They're a bit pricey, too. But also, there's nothing else like them out there. I'm hoping that's what helped them get these new two girls produced and that it can keep going enough to get all the girls made.
