According to Volks, Ria is supposed to be Rio's younger sister. She was designed by Maimilk as well, obviously! Looking at the pictures of her on the Volks page and at the prototype on Maimilk's page, I think that she's pretty, but a little plain. I would love to customize her! I think that if they were to standardize her, she'd be a great companion for Fuuka. If she's only available as a limited edition, though, maybe I'd be better off with Nono 13? I won't make any plans to buy Ria, but if Volks does do a standard release of her....maybe....
Gahh....Shirou is great-looking guy, but he's so expensive that I'd be afraid to breathe on him! I told myself that if I ever bought a full-size SD boy, it would be Michael. Just the same, I'm sure that a lot of people are looking out for Shirou!
I think that Chii is...okay. She looks a lot like the character, but maybe that isn't such a good thing? I would've preferred that her look be more of an interpretation--I've seen some pretty cute custom Chiis with the F-13 head. This head that they used is too stylized for my tastes. She might be nice for novelty value, but I have to wonder. Who the heck would spend that amount of money on that doll besides of love-starved fanboy who wants his very own Chii?

.....I don't like Anais. She's not my kind of doll at all! I do think her outfit is cute, though.
I put the purple wig on Fuuka. You can see it here:
