Ech. Well, at least she doesn't have a swastika arm band.

Beressa Kerfluffle
May. 10th, 2005 02:17 pmOK, so here is the letter I've been composing in my head over lunchtime, while I was sifting through the racks at my local bankrupt record store (everybody, go buy Spoon's new CD, they're awesome!!).
The goal is to convey my Nazi squick, but also sound like a not-insane person, and also be clear enough that a non-English speaker won't be completely bamboozled. This is addressed to Madison at Magma Heritage, since he's the retailer who forwarded me the image.
Hi Madison!
Thankyou for forwarding the news about the upcoming Pullip, Beressa.
I find I am a little upset after looking at her picture, and I'm not sure whether to buy her. I wanted to write you about it.
Pullip is my favorite doll. So far, I've bought every single one of the Pullip dolls, including the limited ones I've been lucky to buy through Magma Heritage. I have posted pictures of all of my dolls on my web page (http://www.bobagirl.com), and I have persuaded several of my friends to start buying Pullips too.
But I'm not sure whether I can buy Beressa. I like cosplay uniforms, and I think it is a very cute idea to make a doll based on a policewoman. However, Beressa, to me, does not look like a Policewoman. Instead, I think her outfit resembles a Nazi SS uniform. For example, the insignia on the cap, and the red arm band look like details from a Nazi uniform to me. I think this is inappropriate. I have talked to other doll collectors in the USA, and they, too, are upset by this doll.
Do you know if there is anyone I could contact at Jun Planning, in order to express my opinions about Beressa? Perhaps if they heard from some collectors in the USA, they would want to change Beressa's outfit before she is released.
Thanks!
Pam
