Christmas Doll Gifts

I didn't have too many dolls on my Christmas wishlist this year. All I had was Licca dolls, because I wanted to check out the Licca and Jenny dolls from Japan, but I didn't get expect to get any. However, Mr. BTEG came through and got me two Licca dolls and one cute outfit.

 

The Licca on the right is dressed in a 60s motif. The fabrics she wears are mostly a sateen weave. The only thing that I dislike about her outfit is her cheap rubber shoes. Her belt is too long, but it does make it easier to get the belt through the buckle. The green ribbon she is wearing around her neck in the second picture is stretchy, and I assume it is meant to be another hair band. I didn't really know how to tie it or what to do with it, so I just put it around her neck so you can see it, and how long it is.

 

Our blue-haired girl is wearing a kimono type garment that seems to feature animals and motifs from a brand called Econeco. The only thing that I could find it in English associated with this name are coloring books, which do match the print on the kimono. She also comes with geta which don't want to stay on her feet, as is common with these shoes when the dolls don't actually have toes, a fan with two of the Econeco characters, and a plastic headband covered with fabric. 

 

 

Blue-haired girl looks adorable in the separate outfit. This has a sort of star theme, with stars on the rubber shoes, and on two rubber bands that I'm guessing go around ponytails or buns like she has. I didn't want to mess up her hair right off the bat by trying to mess around with them right now, so I just put one in her hand.

 

I've known for ages that these dolls existed, but I decided to add some to my collection when I saw how photogenic they are in Instagram pictures. Lots of collectors seem to put them on Obitsu bodies, but the bodies they come with are okay. They are rubber over wire, and they are sturdier than I would have guessed. I may put them on Obitsu bodies eventually.The outfits are a slightly smaller scale than Barbie, but they are nice quality, except for the rubber shoes. I'm looking forward to spending more time with these dolls, and adding a few more to my collection.
