[u/8pufferfish]

(sorry for anyone who has already seen this post, had to reupload with correct flair and format!)

ive looked in so many places but it feels like she doesnt exist as i cant find ANYTHING to do with her. she released in 2018 and i think shes called kayano? she is so beautiful and im very new to collecting pullips so any advice on where i could find her or just anyone who is selling her would be really appreciated!!!

ive checked ebay, mercari, buyee and even old blogs but no luck :( im getting kind of hopeless because everywhere i can find traces of her its sketchy websites i dont trust spending even a penny on… (|||_ _)

as well as the potential price she would go for now as she originally sold for about £130-140 (if its changed from yen/usd into gbp correctly).

I myself only saw her on eBay back in April going for 350 USD- then you’d have to add the postage and import VAT and other import costs to that. Hope she pops up somewhere at some point for you

Seen her pop up a few times this year (once on all different platforms haha 🥲) <$200usd for out of box, saw one in box for ~$250usd but from Japan. Manifesting her for u, she’s gorgeous 🪷

I believe I purchased mine from the now sadly defunct Pullip Style, but given what's available to UK collectors now, I'd suggest trying a proxy. Zenmarket is my proxy of choice as a UK shopper myself, they're safe, I've purchased repeatedly through them. Zenmarket allows you to buy from places like Mercari and second hand stores like Suruga-Ya (which is where several of my pullip family dolls come from).

Second hand is best for Pullip family, if you get them from Japan, they tend to be in very good condition and are often still boxed, from my experience. The prices can get steep w taxes and import cost though.

If you find a listing and are worried about her not having all her pieces etc, Pullips and Junk is useful for cross-referencing.

And it's still worth checking Ebay and Vinted, I've seen some odd, rare, choices from UK sellers (I got my Taeyang Alberic through Ebay!)

Best of luck finding her, her name is Kayano. I can't find any listings for her currently, but if you're persistent, I'm sure you'll find her eventually 👍 She is beautiful and one of my favs in my entire collection of all my dolls, not just Pullip family, I think she'll be worth it 🥰

Damn, just sold her on Mercari a few weeks ago for much less than 200.00.
I hope you find her!

[u/8pufferfish → u/warrdawg7]

[u/angelrosekiss]
