Sera Returns to Wonderland - Gothic Lace and a Light-Blue Daydream

By Nana · Published 11 October 2026

One character, two expressions, and a Wonderland story that began years ago.

A familiar fairy tale can feel completely different when the colours change. Sera (せら) is Azone's example of that in Another Secret Wonderland, an Ex☆Cute Family pair celebrating the series' 20th anniversary.

Azone traces the story back to the original Secret Wonderland theme of 2009, when characters dozed off over their books and wandered into an imagined world of sweets, toys and tea parties. That story reached Sera in 2010. In 2026, Azone returned to the setting with two new takes on the same character.

Gothic version - a little more mysterious

The Gothic ver. remembers the older story's more dramatic side. Sera wears long Silky White twin tails and has Midnight Purple eyes, matched with an adorably pouty musu mouth expression.

Her white ruffled blouse, black corset skirt, underskirt and large bows bring a classical gothic-lolita silhouette. Silver heart details add a little brightness without overpowering the dark outfit. Azone notes that the ribbons on her twin tails attach with hairpins from the back.

This is the version I would put beside a miniature antique bookcase. Her boots and skirt already look ready for a very serious tea party.

Product code: POD010-SSG.

Light Blue version - Wonderland after the clouds clear

The Light blue ver. uses a gentler, almost monochrome palette. Sera's Light Blue hair and Blue Gray eyes sit alongside a smiling expression, giving the familiar face an entirely different mood.

There are still frills, ribbons and hearts, but the pale colouring makes the details feel airier. Azone highlights her white patent-style handbag and long hair with tied sections at either side. That little bag is enough to make an otherwise very proper look feel ready for an outing.

Both editions use a Pure Neemo Flection S girl body (White), standing approximately 23.5 cm tall. Azone lists the same main clothing pieces for each set: the doll, blouse, skirt, underskirt, stockings, short boots, shorts, bag and hair ribbons.

They are separate editions, so the difference is not simply a change of dress colour. Their hair, eyes and facial expressions are also different.

Nana's little note ♡

I like that Azone didn't try to make one version the clear favourite. Gothic Sera is a little distant, all silvery hair and dark ribbons. Light Blue Sera looks as though she has just spotted something lovely through a shop window.

Put the two together, and I think they'd disagree about which teapot to use.
