Two Crocodilians and a special My Wanda Friend
Happy new year, dear Wanda family!
The year 2025 has begun. To start off the year, we are introducing two new Noiel Forest Friends, two Crocodilians and a special My Wanda Friend.
First up is Marco Hoult, who wears a set of cool goggles. He is a cool Crocodilian boy with a translucent white body, with a silver highlight from his chin down to his belly. He lives with his family, who run a brewery in Noiel Forest’s Crocodile Village. These brand new set of goggles are especially made for Crocodilians. They fit perfectly to the shape of their head, making them easy to wear. It is very fashionable.
Next is Azalea Phin, a Crocodilian girl with an adorable translucent pink body. She looks so pretty in pink that she doesn't need to be dressed. She and her sister run a balloon shop in the big city of Horus. Since she is from the same collection, Marco's goggles fit her perfectly as well, so it would be twice the fun if you got both of them.
Last but not the least is the Year of the Snake My Wanda Friends, handpainted by KENZO. In the spirit of this year’s zodiac, the dolls are painted in its motif. Red and white are used for New Year's in Japan as the colors for celebration. Therefore, this My Wonda Friend pair are each painted in red and white. The red one has deep green eyes. Its head and arms are adorned with golden spots. To complete the design is a snake mark on its belly. The white one is based on the image of a white snake, known as a lucky charm in Japan. It also has a golden pattern on its body, a pair of black eyes with red lining on the eyes. Both are valuable pieces of artwork and has a limited stock.
The sale will start on Tuesday, January 28, 2025 at 10:00 PM Japan time. Mark your calendars so you don't forget!
We hope you have fun shopping with us this year! A blessed 2025 to everyone!

New Dolls in December 2024
Dear Wanda Family
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Let’s all welcome our Christmas doll line-up, which will surely usher in the happiest season of all.
First is Noel Light, a very special FWF doll, Christmas edition. His features are quite unique and reminiscent of a white candle, with the red hair representing the candlelight flame and the white drippings on his chest looking like melted candle wax. His body is transluscent and when put over lighting, it illuminates like an ornament on a Christmas tree. The doll comes with two kinds of shoes, a black and a cafe au lait color pair, which will all come in a special box with a soecially designed cover, making it a perfect holiday gift.
Next, we have two new Wanda Friends as well. Comet Bloom is the eager beaver 14th Red Messenger of Noiel Forest. She is a reliable and trustworthy new member who aims to become a the best messenger she can be. Together with Nine, she visits the Mushroom Festival at Noiel, to greet the residents and give out presents to children. She is red all over, with white hands and feet, and cute little freckles on the face, with black, emerald green and white eyes. A pair of transluscent boots will come with each purchase.
Comet Bloom’s best friend, Bliss Polar, is our second WF doll for the season. This matte milk-tea colored doll is part of the Horn tribe. He has some cosmos-inspired paint pattern on his left leg, featuring stars and comets. He has a brown-tipped middle horn, and black eyes that look slightly similar to a shark’s. He gets along famously with Comet Bloom and goes together with her at the festival, to help out with their daily tasks. He will also come with a special scarf.
These dolls offer an alternative, yet festive present idea for the season of gift-giving. They will be available for sale on December 10th, 9:00 PM Japan Standard Time.
Happy holiday shopping!

New Legged Snail Mohl and cute monsters!
Dear Wanda Family,
We are here again to bring you more dolls this month. Following tha announcement of Wanda Friend Dusk Ash last week, we now introduce you to his friend the Legged Snail and a family of dolls that is perfect for Halloween.
Let's begin with Dusk's friend, Mohl Glenn. He is a Legged snail whose entire body is gray, which comes with a glittery silver and black house on its back. His monotone motif is quite refreshing. If you secure his protective house shell with a black ribbon and style him with our exclusive black shoes, his look will be complete. Additionally the colors white, black, or navy blue would also look good on him.
He once had a serious throat injury which Dusk treated. That is why he is still working for Dusk, paying him back for saving his life. As Dusk’s assistant, he has also offered the back of his house as a storage room for the doctor’s medical equipment. They are quite the tandem.
Next up are our Halloween offerings. First one is AAAA, with a transparent body and a huge, singular eye. His eye is blue and silver, reminiscent of a crescent moon. The other one is BBBB, a mummy ghost. His transparent body is wrapped with tattered bandages, like an Egyptian mummy. Despite this scary appearance, he has an endearing pair of eyes and a bright red heart, hand-painted on his chest. He, as well as many other mischievous little monsters, live in the Black Forest, deep in the darkest corners of Noiel. On Halloween night, they quietly approach unsuspecting Wanda Friends and scare them away. You too can enjoy Halloween with them this year.
And last but not the least, we also have new My Wanda Friends. A glow in the dark My Wanda Friend and a glossy Muscat-green My Wanda Friend. When illuminated, their colors come alive. My Wanda Friend Muscat weighs 21 grams, which is said to be the weight of a human soul. Add these dolls into your collection and have them displayed in your rooms.
It's already on sale, so check it out in our online store!
Thank you and may we all have a Wanda-ful Autumn Season!

New Wanda Friend Dusk Ash
Dear Wanda Family,
We hope everyone is doing well. Japan remains to be quite hot in September. Having temperatures exceeding 30°C (86°F) everyday, are a real challenge. The sun is also super strong and the rays which are supposed to be a blessing, can caus trouble for your health. If you are planning to visit Japan at this time of the year, don't forget to bring a parasol and a pair of sunglasses, as well as any other cooling gadgets or devices. Hopefully, in another week’s time, we will have more autumn-like days.
Anyway, we would like to introduce this month’s doll offering, Dusk Ash. He is a doctor who runs the city clinic in Horus. He is very skilled and can do both internal medicine and surgery, which is something that is unique in Wanda World. His body color is ash gray, and his feet are painted in a gradient of black from the knees down and his eyes are black, as well. This shade is really sleek, making him look very smart and sharp. Black and white garments would especially look good on him. As a doctor, he also wears a white lab coat, so we are releasing one as well, which you can purchase separately.
In addition, we will also be releasing a new Legged Snail, Noiel Forest Friends, and a specially designed Fortune Wanda Friend, so please watch out for further announcements on these products. The launch date of all of these dolls is on September 24th at 7 PM Japan time.
Finally, don't forget to post your #wonderfrogcolorful entries this month. Our theme is, of course, gray.
As always, thank you very much and have a Wanda-ful end of summer!

Beautiful Blue Dolls in August!!
Dear Wanda Family,
The summer seems to have extended until September in Japan, so it’s still very hot and humid. In order to ease our summer woes, we would like to introduce to you some refreshing new dolls that are perfect for the season.
First up is the beautiful blue Wanda Friend Maris Coast. His translucent ocean blue body, which gradiates to dark blue from below the knees to the feet, represents the tropical sea. He has black-colored eyes with sparkles that give him a gentle image. Like other previous dolls, its translucent quality allows for a more luminous and varied color reflection, when hit by sunlight. Maris’ entire body transforms and even his smile becomes more apparent, as light passes through his body. He is also flexible enough to be dressed in any type of clothing.
He lives in the coast of big city, Horus. There, he runs a store specializing in tasty jellies. The ingredients of his jellies are creatures that live in the sea, such as jellyfish or sea slime monster! Such strange flavors seem to be very popular among the children of sea inhabitants.
Next we have two Fortune Wanda Friends. First one is Farino Coast. Farino's body is a slightly darker blue color than Maris. His color is the same on his entire body, except for his black eyes, making his appeal more innocently cute or endearingly simple. Together with Maris, the synergy of their colors create a symphony of blue, seeming to play homage to the Pacific Ocean. The second FWF is Bluefey Nonoi, which will be featured and sold at the upcoming Tokyo Doll Show on September 8, 2024. He is a special luminescent version doll, that glows blue in the dark. He is a long-eared breed with large blue ears, a pink nose and black eyes. He will also be launched for sale together with all dolls in this announcement, ahead of the Japan sale.
And the fun continues!
Besides WF and FWF, we also have Chatterbug Jinbei, who also lives in the ocean. With its beige face, light blue front, and navy blue back side, sprinkled in polka dots, it has some resemblance with a whale shark. It would look cute with our another Chatterbug, the previously released Grinny.
Lastly, we have a new My Wanda Friend doll. This new one has a completely transparent feature. Think of it as a blank canvas and take advantage of its transparency, by decorating it with various materials inside. You can put anything inside, like beads, ribbons, color paper and whatever pretty trinket you have, to create something you can truly call “My Wanda Friend.”
Don't forget that these will go on sale on Friday, August 30 at 7:00 p.m. Japan time! Thank you for your support.
Have a wanda-ful day!

P.S.
The August theme for the ongoing #wonderfrogcolorful Instagram posting contest is blue. We would love to receive more submissions for this month, so we have extended the deadline to September 7. Looking forard to your photos!
We have a new addition to the Muliphein tribe
Dear Wanda Family
We have another special announcement this month! We have a new addition to the Muliphein tribe. It is Sefert Muliphein, a Muliphein person with a special film inside his transparent body. When light penetrates through it, it shines beautifully like a jewel. The eyes are also painted in clear blue and glow when light reflects off them. It is similar to Wanda Friend Wattoo, which was released previously and was very popular. The release date for this one is the same as the previously announced Leyda Bone, July 23.
7 p.m. Japan time, don't forget!
Enjoy your Wanda-ful summer!!
Thank you Studio-uoo
