KARA has become the first girl group to be made into figure dolls.

On March 15th, KARA’s agency DSP Media reported through a press report that 12-inch figure dolls created with the “Mister” theme would begin selling in both Korea and Japan around the end of March.

The new dolls were produced by professionals from Hot ToysDC ComicsNokiaEnterbay, and more.

In the past, figures were created for celebrities in Korea, namely actors, but KARA is the first girl group to be made into figure dolls. This will also be the first time a Korean girl-group doll will be sold in Japan.

Different from other dolls, the KARA figures will boast a sleeker ‘STATUE’ design for a more realistic feel.

KARA’s dolls will be available for pre-sales at the end of the month, and detailed information can be found on the DSP Media homepage and at Character M.



Accurate body shape for Seungyeon/Hara, accurate face for Gyuri/Jiyoung, terrible mop hair for Nicole, wtf is Hara. Still, accepting these as b-day presents, or blank checks, thanks Omona.

AKB dolls were made just for the Tokyo Doll Fair and were not being sold.

They're not the first.

If you go to the fourth floor of the SPAO store in Myungdong, Seoul, it's all SM artists and merchandise--including fashion dolls of the SNSD girls. Sorry Kara!

yea idg how they're the first girl group. i remember snsd having doll figures from girls' generation days w/ the pretty outfits and stuff

Maybe because the KARA dolls are actually modeled after the members? iirc the SNSD ones have the same face/figures but the outfits and hairs are modeled after the girls.

Oh, didn't 2NE1 have figure dolls too? I remember seeing pictures of Bom and Dara holding their dolls...

What's the difference between a figure doll and a figurine? Are they posable or not?

I want a Jiyoung doll if they're posable

sleeker ‘STATUE’ design for a more realistic feel

eh? I don't understand what that is supposed to mean. You are going to make them skinnier than they actually are in real life? Make them smoother than they actually are in real life? How do you even do that?... I don't get...

I remember when they made Barbie like this back in the early 00's with the bendable waist. Pretty cool.

By 'STATUE' do they mean figurine? Because that's what these look like. Not dolls.
