Azone International

AZONE INTERNATIONAL items work with 1/6th scale figures at times depending on the figure and the cut of the outfit in question. They have a large selection of them on Hobby Search, it seems.

They also have a showing at HOBBY LINK JAPAN. HLJ also has a large selection of the Azone figures as well.

I like the different looks you can achieve with this line. Not your standard "hooker gear", Azone provides a strong Asian feel, action items and - for those who prefer a little sexy sizzle - some items that lean more towards fetish and the like. They also have some additional items like briefcases and hats and things to top things off.



What I found when I was working with the Azone items was that it really depended on the figure you were working with originally. The COOL GIRL figures seemed to work well, but I only tried dresses and I think the Cool Girl hips of Power®  :)  might not work well with the slim and slight pants made for slim and slight dolls. (Sorry...FIGURES)

The Dark Angel figure I made (left) worked well with the Azone Dress and stockings. It fit well and no adjustments had to be made.





My KITE-like figure to the right here was the same story. The Cool Girl figure fit the dress and shirt without having to augment anything. Here I had the chance to really break out of what the norm was to create something unique and fun.


I'd love to do a little more with the Azone accessories and clothing. The biggest issue is just making sure that the clothing fits the figure you wish to use. Some of that is leap of faith and some is guesstimating. While some sizes are given, there are some designs that just won't play well with certain figures.

N'joy and let me know if this was helpful in the comments.

Or, just say HELLO! :)

Angel of Dream - wow


Angel of Dream is an amazing site with some figures that are true works of art. Works of art that happen to cost around $265.00 on average up to $700. They have a cool style and are so very Japanese. Take a look if you care about such things. :)
