Have you noticed? the description printed on the back of the “Japanese New Year Barbie” box is right, the new year comes when the plum blossoms burst (Dec-Jan). but the graphic design is so wrong–flowers shown on the package are not plum blossom, but Cherry blossom. Cherry does not blossom until spring comes (March in Japan), 2 or 3 months after Japanese new year. The Graphic desinger certainly didnt pay attention to details.
plum & cherry blossoms look similar, but they are not the same.

oops, she is already sold out. but that’s fine. I dont really miss her. I actully think the promo picture is bettter than the actual doll. at $69.99, I’d rather get anothre Kimora doll–simply her outfit looks worth more money. but I do not like her face.
the promo pic of Oshogatsu Barbie is very pretty, like a silkstone, but the actual products is another story

I have got an idea, I’ll dress up my Kimora Barbie with an OOAK Kimono and dump her at eBay…
