Review of “Luke and Michiru Azone Dolls”:
Who are Luke and Michiru? They are professional cosplay models in Japan. Luke and Michiru are lovely twins who wear the latest cosplay fashions and model for cosplay retailers, such as COSPA. Their images have graced the covers of many cosplay books, magazines, CD-ROMs, videocassettes and trading cards. Luke and Michiru even pressed a CD-single of cosplay rave music! Figure manufacturer, Azone, designed and fabricated a two doll set based on the real life twins. Only 500 doll sets were made. They are 1/6-scale poseable dolls with real fabric clothing designed for collectors. Luke and Michiru are wearing police-type uniforms based on Hiroki Yagami's "G-Taste" characters. The dolls are pre-assembled, pre-clothed and fully poseable. They are well-proportioned, including Luke's distinctive facial mole (Luke has a mole under her left eye and on her cheek, while Michiru has a twin mole under the right eye.). The Luke doll has short blond hair and Michiru doll has long black hair. Each doll has a stand and accessories: a pistol and handcuffs. We were very happy to add these pretty dolls to our cosplay collection.
The front of the box features a picture of the real Luke and Michiru, with official Kodansha seal.
