>>10910824If this was bunnies I’d be all over it like a rash. I wish they’d used this fabric for Flower Garden Teatime.The boob ribbons are an interesting design choice though
Nu AP is so ugly
>>10910841>The boob ribbons are an interesting design choice thoughthat's because it's popular with chinese lolitas. taobao brands put them on a lot of stuff because it looks like the ribbons on hanfu. i personally don't like the ribbons like that, it'll look better as just bows.
>>10910837They just traced over Vanilla-Chan and made it worse
>>10910847I'm with the Chinese on this one. Titty ribbon a cute.
When is sugar hearts JP MTO shipping? I can't go that far back in the AP news section of the site.
>>10910847>>10911194O i c. I think it looks alright on the jsk but a bit weird on the OP, like there’s too much going on with the yoke. I ended up getting the lavender jsk but where is my matching headbow, AP? Where is my Decoration Ice Cream headbow? Not even enough spare fabric for some barettes?>>10911223June!
Just lots of plain basics this week
>>10911792
Bad news: Melody Toys againGood news: it’s the regular jsk cut that a lot of people wanted!Bad news II: no mint or sax
>>10910878They do look similar but the art style and theme is way different for it to be traced
>>10911794this looks good. i wish they did more white with pink lace pieces though.
Next saturday should have this
>>10911799sax is the best colorway, are they stupid?
>>10911799Do we have any idea why this print specifically has been re-released a billion times? Is it China's favorite print or something?
>>10912784No, it's not super popular there.My personal theory is somehow the fabric printing order got fucked up and AP wound up with like 10x more Melody Toys fabric than they needed. so now they just keep re-releasing it to use up all the extra. That would also explain why the color selection has gotten more and more limited through all the billion releases they've done, bc they're gradually running out of the excess fabric.
Why is AP USA doing another Day Dream Carnival MTO?There was already one in January with a ship date in September.
>>10912920I dont know but nows my chance!
>>10912920OH YAY! I'm so glad you posted this, I missed out on the first mto and now I can still get it. Who knows why, but I hope offering multiple chances is something they do with future mtos too
>>10913237>>10912966What color do you want to get? The sax and lav and pink are so pretty. The ivory is gorgeous and I just can’t decide
>>10913261I got the lavender actually! So excited!! If you still cant decide I think you should go pink! >>10913237Me too! I had no idea the first one was going on until after it was finished! Very excited I got a chance to make a purchase.
>>10913261I got pink and lavender. I like ivory too, but I'd be too paranoid about it getting dirty really easily.>>10913298Congrats on being able to get it anon!
AP have posted info about the Lyrical Bunny backpack MTO. Scalpers BTFO>https://angelicpretty.com/Page/Feature/202405mto2.aspx
>>10913601They’re also offering a Princess Ribbon Decoration MTO which I am very excited for>https://angelicpretty.com/Page/Feature/202405mto.aspx
>>10913601Why are they kind of ugly
>>10913601these are low key usakumya bootlegs and look like actual children's plush toys>>10913603actually tacky and costumey, recent AP is so disappointing
>>10913613I think it is lovely and hime as fuck. I want lavender but I do wish it was solid like the pink.
>>10913603getting one of every color.
>>10913603That lavender fabric looks sooo cheap
Suzuran Bouquet this week>https://angelicpretty.com/Form/Product/ProductDetail.aspx?shop=0&pid=242PJ05-020615&cat=ITENEWThe OP comes in black, mint & pink, and seems to be a presale in certain stores & online shop only. The JSK is available in black, mint, pink & lavender.
>>10913735
>>10913603I love this.Also, did people stop posting AP releases to the Lolita Updates FB group? I was surprised not to see discussion about this release.
>>10913762lolita updates is just really slow
What's the best way to keep up with news of AP's MTOs? Not just announcements but reminders on the dates they happen etc? I don't wanna sign up for the official newsletter because I don't care about regular releases, only MTOs.
>>10913611the swollen sphere cheeks I do not understand the obsession at all, it makes otherwise cute plushies/figures look like they tried to swallow bees.
Did anyone have any luck with the drop? Both the sugar heart bracelet and necklace sold out in one minute.
>>10920000I went in-store. The only popular items were the pink and blue heart pocket jumper skirts. If there are items you wanted there’s a chance a SS can find it in stock because today’s release was not that popular.
>>10920000I checked out with the Sugar Hearts socks first and then went for the choker and bracelet, which immediately sold out. Amateur mistake. I'm just going to try again in the AP USA drop
>>10920008Those jsks are gorgeous. Really wished I could afford one, but I don't think the cut would look very good on me.
>>10920000>>10920008I kind of wanted the OTKs, but AP has turned me off of thier socks with the bad quality/no stretch.I miss the dark pink letters for the necklace and bracelet too. I have the original necklace and it looks much better than the rerelease stock photo. I was tempted by the bracelet, but just feel iffy about all of it.
>>10920000My SS got the necklace, rings and socks for me!
>>10920000got the socks and purse. kind of afraid of what the quality of both are going to be.
>>10920000I got the necklace, bracelet, ring, socks, and blouse! I would've gotten a bag as well if it wasn't made of that cheap pleather.
>>10920234will the US shop get the accessories too?I missed out on some items but I was able to snag a few items on the Paris website.
>>10920074The purse is made out of synthetic leather. It will crack and peel like that material is prone to do.
Was this really so popular there needed to be a re-release so soon?
>>10920900Hmm, talked to someone that got one of the new purses and they say the material is a lot nicer than their old synthetic leather. We'll see.
>>10921066They re-released it for me personally so that I could finally get my lavender jsk set :^)But yeah only the sax OP is left on the jp site and the JSKs were gone in under a minute. It’s not unusual for AP to re-release a new print within months of its debut.
>>10921165Glad you got something you missed out on!After Ice Cream Parlor in 2020, that really hasn't been true for regular print re-releases. Happy Garland and Jelly Candy Toys took a year, so that's why Dreamy Night Cakes sticks out to me.
>>10913647This is gorgeous, might fuck around and make this my first AP main piece
>>10921066love the dreamy night cakes blouse so this is great actually. def feels a bit soon though but im glad more girlies were able to get some pieces
ew
>>10912249I don't wear sweet but I really like this, I should have bought it
Still waiting on AP US to drop the sugar hearts accessories and bags...
I stopped holding out hope for a milky-chan mto, but I wonder why they haven’t done one? Surely AP has to know it would be like printing money. Is it just not as popular overseas? Even in Japan the secondhand pricing is wild.
>>10923222The secondhand pricing is wild because they know stupid westerners will pay their overinflated prices.If Chinese customers aren't asking for it, it won't happen.
>>10922483I took this screenshot before the "buy" button went live - did they not get inventory for the bracelet or lavender "Love" ring? I refreshed for awhile and they never appeared.
>>10923527How fast did the choker and ring fly off the shelf?
If you joined the Decoration Ice Cream MTO, what did you get?I already have the pink jsk, and decided to also get it in white!
>>10923630People like this print?
>>10921090Synthetic leather is still synthetic learner. The type AP uses will flake eventually. If you’re talking about the PVC purses (I think that’s the material used. It’s shinier and resembles plastic. It’s not considered a synthetic leather to my knowledge but someone who knows materials better can correct me if I’m wrong) then those won’t flake.
Dreamy night cakes is up and they still have everything. Looks like multiple pieces were released of items.
Be My Valentine JSK again, but with sax and black instead of lavender and mint

>>10925592Decoration Ice Cream's basic heart jewelry
>>10925594And decoration heart enamel bag with a dangling cherry pouch
>>10925599Free her
>>10925600I almost almost bought this bag until I saw it to scale. Wtf is this AP? I assumed it’d be similar to their other tote bags and didn’t bother looking at the measurements. Anyway glad I swerved
>>10926071Out of the 4 heart tote bags on the online shop, it is the second largest, only losing by 1-2cm.Yokohama has a tall girl working thereThis other photo is probably more accurate
>>10926079*heart-shaped bags
>>10925599>>10925600love these
Did you all get your Bunny Chan Pocket JSK? I did. I missed the headdress but it looks stupid anyway and I would not wear it.
>>10924215The early to mid 2000s AP bags were made from vinyl iirc. Pvc is a type of vinyl, but not all vinyl is pvc. The vinyl they used was more matte, although still very plastic-y looking, and doesn't flake (it can get a yellowish hue over time though) and is often still called fake leather even though it doesn't look like leather at all to me. Perhaps fake leather was/is used as a catch all term for synthetic non-fabric materials used for bags.Some PU shoes are also referred to as fake leather, but they're just as plastic-y looking as the vinyl bags.
>>10926079this cringe print is almost ok, almost, just imagine the same piece without the awful print, it'd be a 10
>>10928094Seethe
>>10928144what
AP released a new series called Fancy Stationery. Was anyone happy that this exists? None of the main pieces have soldout.
>>10929424
>>10929424>>10929425I absolutely love it but I can't afford it right now, so I'm glad it didn't sell out like I thought it would! I love cute stationery and I love Bunny College so this series is the perfect mix.I know a lot of lolitas just don't vibe with these bright all-over polyester prints and that's fairI finally got one of those stupid Lyrical Bunny bag charms when they re-released them on Wednesday. I'm not sure about the amorphous versions yet.
>>10929424I weirdly love it in the grey, it's so pop.
>>10929424The stationery and bunny details are very cute, but I just don't like any of the colorways.
>>10929430I don't know how to feel about them either, lol
>>10929424I don't dislike it, but it's not great, either
>>10929424I love the lavender and would love a full length skirt, but they only have the short ones this time. Really cute, but I'm too tall for that style.
Sorry for dumb question. The items released on the 24th release at noon or another time Japan time?
>>10929532I have mixed feelings too but my biggest worry is how shit the qc has been on every other recent plush bag release. I have the original milky bear and the quality has fallen so far it’s hardly even recognizable. The fur used to be this almost woolen feel, with super dense filling and high quality joints. It has such a high quality feel. The lyrical rabbit bag I bought in 2022 looked like it was from dollar tree and the stitching on the face details was off center and wonky af. So disappointed and I know I wasn’t the only one cause people posted on here about it.
Question about granba, are the dress samples that will be for sale from this year/last year only or do they also sell previous years as well?
>>10929994I understand your gripe about plush bags, but these bunnies are just tiny keychains
>>10930057A plush is a plush. Same factory, probably.
>>10929916Online at noon JST, same as a Saturday release >>10930049Sample sale dresses can be from any year from the past 5ish years? It’s completely random, whatever they feel like getting rid of from their samples storage. Usually not marked down much though so sometimes not worth getting if you can find them cheaper second hand. Hair accessories, bags, shoes, and socks from more recent releases but not much gets put out. And very old jewelry.
>>10930059Yes, but they're 1/5 the size and have no joints to worry about due to having a star for a body. There's not much to screw up in comparison.
>>10930086Well I guess my wallet is safe for now. Thanks nona
>>10930086NTA but samples can also have slightly different features/finishings, and also sometimes have different measurements. I bought a sample on Mercari that didn’t have the whirring that the final bulk produced item had.
>>10930185*shirring
>>10930185Did it have a zipper instead? It must’ve been a fashion show piece when they have to dress models quickly.
