As is the norm for Arte Tokio, the English site has soon updated to include content from the Japanese website. As anticipated the 'drape' body made the transition. But a small surprise to me is seeing 'Uncho Kanu' a character from 'Battle Vixens'.

So my standing hypothesis is that Characters who began life in Manga (and perhaps Anime), may end up being okay to be sold to overseas markets; whereas those that begin life as ero game characters will not. I further hypothesise that this is due to some negative press ero games have been getting and the ero game makers have reacted by restricting their presence outside Japan.


After reading what's been put up in English on the 'drape' body and 'Uncho Kanu'; I've changed the conclusion I reached earlier in a previous article. The conclusion I reached was that perhaps Arte Tokio was experimenting with using silicones of different hardness. I now think that's not the case, and what's actually happened with these newer bodies is that they are different sculpts. So I figure 'drape' may have breasts of a different shape, and wider hips than ARTE 060 ++. Whilst 'Uncho Kanu' has a sculpt with more defined musculature.

Besides the above mentioned, it appears that Arte Tokio is expanding their inventory in other areas too. They have a greater range of clothes available for the 1/3 scale dolls than when I bought mine. Also there is a new variety of 27cm tall doll (ARTE 027 -)(http://www.artetokio.com/arte027.html). Now with smaller breast. Ooops, at the time this was written, that was only on the Japanese version of the site. But I am confident it shall be on the English one soon.
... strike that you can get the page in English (http://www.artetokio.com/english/arte027.html), but it looks like the only way to do so (at the time this was written); is by going to the page in Japanese then changing it to English.

In addition to that there are a series of flags... What could that be about ? Oh seems it's kinda sorta legal warning/explanation of what the product it. Looks like it's available in several languages.
