Cy Girls (known as Cool Girls in Japan) was assembled/distributed in the United States by another company bbi, and also by the manufacturer Takara, in Japan. They're some of the nicest 12" figures that I've seen. With generally nice headsculpts and amazingly articulated bodies that make them wonderful action figures.

I got hooked into collecting them last summer because of my boyfriend, and we even did a little company-like thing and sold customized clothes for them on ebay... o_o

I only made one complete outfit, which I was really proud of, for the Cy Girls. It was a navy kimono with a white dragon and lotus print, complete with Obi (the sash including the cushion) and headdress. It's not that great since it was my first custom outfit, but I have a pic of Jun (Princess) modeling it HERE! ^^

My bf has more amazing outfits and pics but I'll let him show them off... I don't want to steal his thunder... xD

My Cy Girl collection consists of:

(bbi released name) / (Takara released name)

3 Joanna Dark (2 blue ver. 1 black ver. only bbi released)
2 Princess Jun (only Takara released)
2 Electra / Ruby
2 Bloody Rose / Bloody Rose
1 AJ McLeod / Lightning
1 Cutey Honey (only Takara released)
1 Sky / Ice
1 Kat / Ash
1 Destiny / P.A.S.
1 Asian Perfect Body (only bbi released)

whee

I really like Cy Girls, and there are many more that I would like to own, but unfortunately student budgets don't allow me much room for more (I've spent hundreds on the above collection already... o_o)
And I also hope to do more customs in the summer (hopefully I'll have time... ^^; )

I thought I'd make this thread since I didn't see any for Cy Girl figures, and hopefully I will find some fellow Cy Girl collectors/fans/customizers in here! 3nodding

I don't have any CG dolls yet, the only ONE I have is a customized doll head that I brought on Yahoo Auction Japan, but I don't have a body for it... I might just use an obitsu body for it I guess...

I really like the customized repainted CG dolls, but they get so outrageously expensive crying

Here's an example I found on YAJ:
(it's so pretty redface but end price was more than $500US!)

Yeah Yahoo!Japan is notorious for their beautiful Cy Girl repaints... I saw one that went for $2000 USD. And I believe it was just the headsculpt as well.... @_@

I think they Cy girl bodies are really nice as well. They're really articulated and they pose really nicely. They're also very curvy like real humans are... wink

I only own the stock figures because repaints are way too pricey for me... and I hope to try to repaint one myself one day... but I haven't had the guts to try yet... xD

Yah, Yahoo!Japan's auction price sometimes are just OVERLY high, but they're also gorgeous!

I saw a CG doll sold in Hobby Link for a discount price a while back, I could just slap myself for not getting it... now, it's too late, sold out already... I think a good place to get them would still be Hobby Link Japan, their prices are a bit more fair...

Melonsoda is right... Hobby Link Japan has these Cy Girls for sale... but I haven't been there for a while so I'm not sure what stock they have... They're from Japan, so shipping is a little pricey... (lol, I'm just a poor student... x P)

I used to order mine from ebay sellers. But the availability is a little low (or if not, then the price is probably a little higher) seeing as the company that used to distribute them in the United States, is no longer distributing Cy Girls.

Here is a link to a nice archive of all the existing (and some OOAK) Cy Girls if you'd like to take a look!! They also show you what weapons and accessories each doll comes with. Most of them are stock face paints, unless otherwise noted. Enjoy~ ^^

Oh wow, now that BBi stopped producing Takara Cy Girls, the prices have soared to over $100 USD for MIB Cy's... T______T

I have enough money to buy a Pullip... I wonder if I should get a Pullip or maybe try to get another Cy Girl... >_<"
