REVIEW: Shibajuku Anime AKIRA


I have no idea how this is going to look! Agh! 

In case anyone doesn't follow me on IG, I live in Asheville and 3 weeks ago, a hurricane hit. We were without water and power for about 3 days. We still have no wifi or cable. The cable came back for a day and a half, only to disappear last night. So I can't use my normal review style, which is digital camera and laptop. I've got some pics ready to go for when wifi comes back, but this is one review I didn't want to wait on. 

Stores here are mostly open again, though some were destroyed by catastrophic flooding. But my Walmart doesn't have these new Shibajuku Anime dolls. I overpaid a bit for this one on Mercari but I have no regrets. 


All these photos were taken on my phone and I'm typing this on my phone, which is pretty annoying. If anything looks weird, well, at least I tried!


Anyway! Who remembers the Shibajuku Girls doll line? I still have most of mine. Definitely not a line I would have expected to make a comeback, but here we are. This girl's name is Akira and she's the spooky one, kinda like Yoko was for the original line. Look at the cute skull designs on this dress. Love it!



It's a really nice dress.



She has a black cat ear headband. Nicely made and it's got little bells on it.




Cute but I'm not leaving it on.





And here's original Yoko for a comparison! 





The bodies are the same, just less shiny. Hair is very similar. The only difference is really the new face style. I like both of them.



Yeah, I love her. I'm glad I was able to get one. 



Not the most glamorous review ever, but I hope I've given some idea of how cute she is. I need to get back to stalking the Walmart site for Kiki. They've only released two so far and they're Walmart exclusives. 

Hopefully, I will be back with more soon in my normal format.
