Summer is a sweaty season in which kids can finally have a great summer vacation, and as well as for the foxes! It is that time of year when the Nine Tail Fox Lotus Fairy are gathering around to have a summer party at the lotus pond!

(Then I shall have history & Legendary Stories lessons. Skip to the fox dividing line if you are not a fan of this)
The nine tailed fox was founded in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" which was a book recording various strange beasts and legends, in ancient China. It is recorded as a good omen, before the Daji, the fox fairy, been sent from the realm of gods in the sky, who used the exact same strategy as Wolf Cried to recall the princess back, reporting there was a rebellion in the capital but actually there wasn't. As a result, when the rebellion really took place, princes thought it was just a false alarm again, they had this enough so they stopped coming. In this way, the Shang Dynasty perished.
So in ancient Chinese culture, the nine-tailed fox was described as a woman with dazzling appearance and clever mind.

What a beautiful oriental style work it is!
You might be wondering why are they almost identical in design? Well In fact, using a almost same model is a move that would be considered as lazy and non-innovative. Especially when their postures and expressions are almost unchanged from their previous works.ย
Although the brand company used the same molds in this series. However, what can be found is that, the brand companyย DID have spent a lot of thought and inspiration in manufacturing them. It's not just simply change the color for each of them.
There are 6 regular styles & 1 hidden style to this site, in which 3 of them used PVC as the material for fox body which made a soft fox body, and the other 3 used transparent composite material that feels just as smooth as plastic. And if you get lucky enough to have a hidden style, you will found it's a special luminous edition which will always shine in the lotus pond! She is completely worthy in becoming a hidden style :-)ย What a pleasure to get it! ๐ญ๐ .ย So if you would like to add them to your collection, why not just have a try?
The rough feel on the fox's tail makes you really feel like you're grabbing a fox's tail! (If you've ever grabbed a fox's tail). They are just so soft to touch and easy-to-place.
The little foxes closed their eyes and sat obediently on the lotus stand, just like a soft cute kitty, as if they were enjoying a rare and cool summer afternoon. Two tails in the middle, making up a heart. The fox's tail has a grainy feel to the touch. The whole figure is in a round distribution, nine tails spread from the little fox with different directions, as if coaxing her into a lazy afternoon sleep, and a cute bell attached to her jaw.ย

The base is designed as a lotus flower, protecting little foxes from being accidentally dropped from the table.
The most wonderful part for them is, each of them applies to a certain background. For example, the green transparent applies to a night background and will become reflective in darkness while the pink one is designed for daytime display.ย
The lotus base, the huge fluffy tail, and the sleeping little fox are making this work a delicate one, and a lot of people's favorite figure.
Imagine a tranquil morning in the early summer, when you get waked up after a rain night, then you'll probably recall your childhood joy regarding this series.
