Aja Finds New Shoes! Ladys Mission to the Rescue

Hey, hey, hey ... it's Aja!

But is she falling? No, she's so excited about the red kitten-heeled shoes fitting her that she's hamming it up by pretending to fall. Where'd she find those red heels? Aoshima/Skynet's Street Princess lent them to her. Nouveau Toys sent me an online brochure about their new doll shoe and clothes line. So I wanted to see if any of my other DAFs could fit the Aoshima/Skynet shoes. Conclusion: only Aja of the Holograms can fit the Aoshima/Skynet Ladys Mission shoes. Other dolls attempting this Cinderella-in-reverse act were Bbi Perfect Body Hispanic, Kenner's Darci, Get Set Club's Vanessa, Dragon in Dreams' Miss Fear, and YNU Group's Emerald. So if you want new shoes for your Jem and Jem friends/foes, check your Ladys Mission shoe closet.

Can the Ladys Mission ladies wear Jem shoes? Sorry ... no. Aja's feet are a softer, pliable vinyl/plastic while the Ladys Mission feet are hard, rigid plastic that do not yield to fit the moderately stiff Jem heels. So the Ladys Mission dolls cannot borrow Jem shoes - not the greatest hardship for them since the Jem shoes tend to be purple or pink or other garish - um - vivid colors.

Which shoe knowledge brings me back to the top of my post about Nouveau Toys's new line of fashion doll or action doll footwear. They have Uggs-type boots and some other spiffy, tailored low-heeled shoes for the Ladys Mission feet. So for those Jem and Misfits fans - there might be even more shoe selection for your difficult to fit ladies.

Aside to the crafts-inclined visitors: on Nouveau Toys' Links page, they list other 1:6 scale miniaturists. Perhaps you, too, can get your Etsy/craft link there. Worth a try, hmmm? Good luck!

If you do not want to place an international order, you can find the Girl's Missions figures and some of the Lady's Mission figures at Nouveau Toys. The link to that online store is

I recommend Nouveau Toys because I had placed two orders with them last year. I received prompt and courteous replies to my e-mail queries, well and neatly packaged boxes, items received as expected (NRFB) and items received when expected. Funds permitting, I would order from them again.

My first orders with Nouveau Toys were for Lady's Mission dolls no longer carried by HobbyLink Japan. I ordered the Lady's Mission No.24 described as "Woman doctor(obstetrician)" - Tanaka Miina and Lady's Mission #22 described as a "resistant covert agent" who also works as a nun - Sister Kyoko Tenryu. Please note: Sister Tenryu comes with a standard black and white nun's habit and a black pleather habit that laces up the sides. I then ordered the Lady's Mission #21 Street Princess - Madam Ryu Reika.
