She’s got to be the most popular frog since Kermit, but what is it that makes Studio-Uoo’s Wonderfrog so popular? Hhmmm…
Well, her designer, Kenzo, is a fan, and an imaginative customiser, of Blythe dolls and that’s always a sign of a person with excellent taste in toys. But that doesn’t explain the explosion of interest over the past year (her birthday was on the 20th June) that has led to Ms. W. Frog being almost constantly being sold out.
I was taken with her as soon as I saw her in some photostream or other on Flickr. She was on some adventure or other, as she apparently often is – she has starred in an ‘Edge of the World’ storybook which makes me want to learn Japanese right now. I’m not sure I can put my finger on exactly her appeal though. I think it’s something to do with those funny little skinny limbs and her somewhat enigmatic smile.
Whatever it is, Wanda, we love you.

I heart Wanda! I don’t know how the interest in her has blossomed like this. But she’s so cute and quirky. I love the purple one too.
