Yes, I know I already just ordered a Soom Toad Frog Prince in September, and hadn't even received him when I ordered this guy in February... But I'd had my eye on the Pipos frogs (there are several versions and sizes) for ages and had been on the verge of clicking that "BUY" button numerous times... And after the cancer diagnosis craziness in November, and getting half-way through chemo and REALLY needing a break!... I caved and put this guy on layaway!
Pipos had also made an announcement that they were re-vamping their dolls, and Tomo would be one of them. I didn't know if I'd like the new versions, and I know I DID like this version, so I went ahead and splurged.
I think I'm really in the mood for all kinds of unusual bjd anthros this year...!
