I preordered her from HobbyLInk Japan last month.

She is so stunning! My second Momoko.

I love the shoes. Very nice detail.

She did not have a stand included in her box - on purpose or oversight? I shall find out.

I've always been tempted by Momoko, but the price has kept me away. What do you think of the quality of their bodies?

Momoko are like potato chips, you can't just have one!

Momoko bodies are ok - you don't get the motion of an obitsu, of course, but they are better than the bodies pullip come with.

I like their bodies. They are not super articulated, but the proportions are pleasing and I find them cute.
I have never had an Obitsu or a Pullip so I can't compare.

Obitsu bodies are ultimate in posing - but not always aesthetically pleasing. For some reason they have tiny feet that seem to be completely disproportionate to the body. Pullip bodies are just nightmares ;p

I like the Momoko body too - although I do have a few on obitsu bodies because I bought only the heads originally so I had to get them a body :)

Be careful about redressing them as they are somewhat fragile.

She's got a darling face! I have just one, but if they were priced better, I'd get more. They are cute and the clothes are really nice, but I just don't think they are worth what you have to pay for them.
