Announcement regarding the eye colors of "Precocious Candy's Mush

We incorrectly announced the eye colors of CWC Limited Edition Neo Blythe "Precocious Candy's Mush Room."
We announced the eye color at the left as stock pink, but in fact the color is lighter than stock pink.
So the eye colors of the doll are: Light pink (left), Brown (front), Light blue (right) and Dark green (front), and they are all special colors.
We are sorry for the confusion.
