When Licca first came out in 1967, she needed some friends to play with! Takara-Tomy released two dolls as her 'best friends' the next year; the strawberry blond girl Izumi Sato and the dashing boy Wataru Tachibana who also became Licca's first boyfriend. They were both released until 1972 and both of them also have one younger sibling ( Read more... )

I've been promising to introduce this Licca for a while and here she is! Ginza Licca (Limited Edition of 1000) has been another wishlist Licca of mine since her release in 2006. Not only was she a must-have doll to me, she was among the TOP 5 Liccas I wished to own! There are quite a few Liccas on my wishlist at any given time, some top priority ( Read more... )

The auction said she was part of the Castle Collection 9. I wonder which year that was in? Doesn't seem long ago. She has a cute bob cut hairstyle in a dark chocolate color, ( Read more... )

Right now I'm looking forward to another package, hopefully I can take pics and post ( Read more... )

Here are vintage Licca and her best friend Harumi from early to mid 70's. I have lots of pics of these two gorgeous, sweet gals. This is an image-heavy post, if any of the pics don't show up, just right-click on the red x's and select 'Show Image' (or similar) in the window that appears. That'll reload the broken pics. It's better than refreshing ( Read more... )

This LONG post is a clearer and cleaned-up version of a much older rant I wrote last year. Recently I got a few more readers from the action figure fandom (Hi! *waves*), not necessarily dolls, and while both worlds are about 1/6 scale "mini people", they're not the same hobbies ( Read more... )

Just one more Superman action figure pic today while I wait for better weather (it's been raining like mad) and lightning conditions and my beloved Clark Kent figure. The background again is from one of the teaser posters. The surface has this nice grainy feel to it.

He's gonna getcha! Flee, Lex Luthor! Flee for the hills!
