A gorgeous take on the character that’s worlds apart from the Disney version, and can be read in English or Japanese.
Cinderella
Critics are calling the modern anime aesthetics “inappropriate,” but publisher says they’re missing the point.
A rare case where it’s not Cinderella’s feet that everyone’s eyes are on.
Disney and dollmaker Volks come together to create a one-of-a-kind Cinderella Super Dollfie, but its final price costs an arm and a leg, plus maybe a glass slipper or two.
For any of you who have ever wished for your own fairy tale ending, for your Prince Charming to come and sweep you off your feet and carry you away to his kingdom, or if you ever simply wondered what it would be like to wear shoes made of a material that could potentially shatter and cut your feet to bits, well then these real blown-glass, Cinderella-inspired slippers are just what you’ve been looking for!
