REVIEW: Good Smile Near Harmonia MELLOW

I can't remember when this doll was supposed to come out. February? But she got delayed. I actually thought I'd never get her, so I was surprised when Amazon gave me a new delivery estimate. 

She arrived today and she's absolutely adorable. 

Good Smile makes a lovely brand of quite expensive small dolls called Harmonia. I don't have any, though I definitely regret not getting one of them that came out a few years ago. These little girls are a basic version of Harmonia, so the line name is Near Harmonia.  

I love this type of stand because it's so flexible. 

But if you get one of these, be careful putting the post in. I wasn't pushing hard, but the base still cracked. 

Here's her little dress and ribbon belt. 

Mellow comes dressed in little bloomers. 

She is wigged and it's quite slippery. I may end up doing a little velcro treatment for her. 

She sits nicely. 

The dress was interesting to put on. Her arms aren't flexible at all, but they do pop off at the shoulders. I got one in the arm hole the regular way, but took the second one off, then popped it right back in. 

She's so cute! Very ethereal. Almost like a fairy alien or something. 

Look at those teeny feet! They're like the most dainty thing ever. 

Overall, I love her. These aren't cheap dolls, so a lot of people would balk at the $46 price considering, say, the lack of articulation that's a sticking point for so many. But a fully articulated Harmonia is going to run you anywhere from $200-$400. I think she's adorable in a very different way from other dolls I own, so she's a nice addition to my collection. I already have one of the second series preordered!
