Editing Pullip (section)

==Releases==
New editions of Pullip dolls are released on a monthly basis. Additional limited-release exclusives are sold occasionally. Each doll has a unique name with distinct face makeup (called a "faceup"), hair, outfit, accessories, collector's card, doll stand and box. (Some of the earliest Pullips did not come with a collector's card or a doll stand.)

Between 2003 and 2014, there have been over 220 Pullip doll releases. The regular monthly releases of Pullip are limited in that only a certain amount are produced; this number is known only by the manufacturer.

Occasionally, a limited-edition, exclusive Pullip will be made in a quantity between 300 and 2000 and will be sold in addition to the regular monthly release. In early 2006, with the release of limited-edition Fall Purezza, Jun Planning announced that it would no longer produce exclusive Pullips because their sales cannibalized the demand for the regular monthly releases. However, the company apparently changed their mind in early 2007 with the release of the first US store exclusive, Haute LA, by HauteDoll, which was later followed by multiple Japan exclusives. Some stores that have had these exclusive Pullips are Toys-R-Us Japan, who sold Vivien in November 2004; Magma Heritage, in Singapore, who sold Bianca, Oren and Mitzi in 2004; HauteDoll, in Los Angeles and New York, who sold Haute LA and Haute NY in 2007; TBS shop, in Japan, who sold Kirakishou in September 2007 as well as a limited version of Sparrow and (new) Shinku in March 2014; and pullip.net, in South Korea. Until September 2007, the limited-release exclusive dolls came with a certificate showing their production number; however, as of 2014, certificates are included only sporadically with the exclusives/limited-edition dolls.

Prior to 2006, Jun Planning released some editions that bore close resemblance to popular characters and celebrities but are not officially licensed. Fantastic Alice is similar to [[Disney]]'s rendition of [[Alice in Wonderland]]. Rida bears resemblance to [[Nana (manga)|Nana]]. The "Happy Birthday #2" set includes a [[Indigenous peoples of the Americas|Native American]] Pullip named [[Sacagawea]] and Namu named [[Geronimo]].

In anticipation of the 5th anniversary of Pullip in 2008, five dolls were released as part of the "Another Alice" limited-edition series, including Another Alice, Another Queen, Another King (Taeyang), Another Rabbit (Dal), and Another Clock Rabbit (Dal). Only 500 of each of these dolls were produced. This series was inspired by [[Alice in Wonderland]]. Their original release date was postponed in order to include the updated eye-closing feature on Taeyang Another King, and the series ended up being released in August 2007. Collectors who ordered the complete set received a bonus flamingo figurine.

===Collaborations and licensed releases===
In 2006, Jun Planning began releasing licensed Pullips based on the characters from the anime/manga [[Rozen Maiden]] series. With the exception of the final Rozen Maiden Pullip, Kirakishou (which was an exclusive to TBS/Japan),<ref>http://ishop.tbs.co.jp/tbs/special/rozen-maiden3/index.html TBS ishop</ref> the Rozen Maiden dolls were not limited editions.

Since 2007, several Pullip dolls have been released through fashion and design-based collaborations, such as with designer [[H. Naoto]]; clothing brand SunaUna; [[Lolita fashion]] houses [[Angelic Pretty]] and [[Baby, the Stars Shine Bright (brand)|Baby, The Stars Shine Bright]]; and doll customizers Kanihoru, Mitsubachi@BabyBee, Silver Butterfly, Sheryl Designs and PoisonGirl.

Several other Pullip dolls have been released through commercial collaborations to portray well-known fictional characters, including [[Hello Kitty]] and [[List of Sanrio characters#My Melody (1975)|My Melody]] from [[Sanrio]]; [[Rei Ayanami]] and [[Asuka Langley Soryu]] from [[Neon Genesis Evangelion franchise|Neon Genesis Evangelion]]; Grell, Sebastian and Ciel from [[Black Butler]]; Angelique Limoges, Rayne, and Erenfried from [[Neo Angelique Abyss]]; [[Peter Pan]], [[Captain Hook]], [[Tinker Bell|Tinkerbell]] and [[Tiger Lily (Peter Pan)#Native Americans|Tiger Lily]] from [[Disney|Disney's]] [[Peter Pan (1953 film)|Peter Pan]] film; and Dumbo and Pinocchio from their eponymous [[Disney]] films. Three Pullips have been based on characters in [[Audrey Hepburn]] films, including Holly, from [[Breakfast at Tiffany's (film)|Breakfast at Tiffany's]]; Princess Ann, from the film [[Roman Holiday]]; and Sabrina, from the film [[Sabrina (1954 film)|Sabrina]]. Several Pullips released from 2011–2014 were based on [[Vocaloid]] characters.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.vocaloidism.com/2011/01/11/new-groove-pullip-dolls/ |title = New Groove Pullip Dolls}}</ref>

The majority of these collaborations have not been exclusive or limited-edition dolls, but they do have higher [[MSRP]]s than conventional releases because of licensing costs.
