Shimotsuma Monogatari's Momoko Ryugasaki becomes a Super Dollfie!
Furthermore, she is sold as a Shimotsuma Monogatari Official Doll. The dress she is wearing is, of course, a Spring 2004 new release outfit made in collaboration with Baby, The Stars Shine Bright! Not only that, but the fabric is identical in design to the one that Kyoko Fukuda is wearing. The doll's face is a new model that was created with Kyoko Fukuda as its motif. This doll made from the strong collaboration between Volks Super Dollfie, Baby, The Stars Shine Bright and the movie Shimotsuma Monogatari is at last complete.

Notes:
Momoko was based on the main character from the movie Shimotsuma Monogatari and was released as a collaboration in conjunction with the movie release. Her dress was designed by popular designers Baby, The Stars Shine Bright and five dress sets for her were released separately at the same time.
Momoko was limited to 101, with #001 belonging to Kyoko Fukuda, the actress who portrayed Momoko in the movie. Only a small number of her was sold at Hometown Dolpa Tokyo; the others were sold at an event at Marui One, via the TBS Online website, via the Famima Net website, via Volks' online webshop, and via mail order from pamphlets handed out at cinemas where the movie was screened.
A doll was also designed based on Momoko's friend Ichigo from the movie, however she was a display model only and was not made available for sale. She used the SD13 Cyndy headmold.
Momoko came with the first version of the pureskin body, which had some issues with standing and had less realistic knees. This body was later upgraded to a newer version and this version is now fairly rare in comparison.
Volks have confirmed that Momoko is the same sculpt as Rose and Bianka, who were released several years later as new characters. However due to the different production periods, some parts of the head itself (such as a Schpitt Function inside the head) are different.
