Volks

Volks Sakura Kinomoto.

I'm not quite sure why Bandai Japan didn't decide to follow Giochi Preziosi's lead and produce a line of 11" scale CCS dolls. Perhaps they did, but so far, the only Japanese fashion doll-sized Sakura I've been able to find is this one here.

Bandai Japan dolls

The dolls I've pictured below are approximately 8" scale, and have "Gumby" style bendy bodies. I know Sher took one of her Trendmasters heads and put it on a Volks Mini-B body, which turned out awfully cute!

Sakura in silver Cardcaptor outfit

This appears to be one of the more recent batch. Love the little sheriff badge, and mod boots! Not that she's carrying what I believe is the second season Clow wand.

Sakura in her school uniform

Sakura is all ready for junior high. This set includes a little book bag, and a little tiny Kero-chan!

Sakura in pink Card Captor outfit

Though this series also includes separate outfits, this doll comes already dressed in her pink Card Captor outfit. Accessories include, of course, a clow wand, clow cards, and a tiny Kero-chan.

Tomoyo in her school uniform

Besides a little book bag, Tomoyo's accessories include, of course, her video camera. If they make more dolls in this series, I'd love to see a set of Tomoe's bodyguards!

Sakura doll in "cat" battle costume

Another doll in Bandai Japan's incredibly cute 8" scale line. I think Tomoyo (Sakura-chan's faithful tailor) intended Sakura to look like a kitty cat with those ears and tail. Note there's even a little Kero-chan.

Li-Kun

SCREAM! C'mon, didn't you scream too when you finally saw this doll of Li? It's totally cute too, with his little power-up suit. Have you seen the new "Cardcaptors" version on the WB? Unfortunately, they make Li out to be more of a central character, the better to attract a Pokemon-viewing demographic, I suppose. Still, I think he makes a great semi-antagonist for Sakura.

Sakura in pink and yellow Cardcaptor outfit.

While I was busy negotiating mortgage payments, they released a whole new batch of these little Sakura dolls and outfits over in Japan. I can't say that I recognize this one offhand, it kind of reminds me of a nurse outfit. What was Tomoyo thinking? I also have another quite cute one of Sakura with little wings, from Rudi, that is probably sitting in a box in my basement somewhere, along with my winter shoes!

Bandai Japan carded outfits

Sakura's "jester" Card Captor outfit

Unlike most magical girl heroines, Sakura wears a different power up outfit in nearly every episode, thanks to the faithful Tomoyo-chan. This is the outfit that reminds me a little of a court jester, with curling toes and lots of tassles.

Sakura's yellow Card Captor outfit

Here's a poufy yellow dress for Sakura-chan to fight evil.

Sakura's "bunny" Card Captor outfit

I don't think I've seen the episode where Sakura wears this outfit yet. With the fuzzy fabric and little ears, in seems to be her bunny costume. Maybe she was out fighting Sailor Moon?

Cat battle costume

Here's the "cat" battle costume from Bandai Japan, carded. A lot of folks I know are buying these Sakura outfits to dress up Licca-chan and the small scale Volks dolls! This is one of two brand new Sakura outfits.

"Angel" battle costume

This is the other brand new Sakura outfit. I'm not quite sure what this is supposed to be. It looks like something from a music video. I'm grateful to Ardith for picking these up for me!

Red-caped battle costume

OK, this is the very first costume from the first wave of Sakura outfits. (For the rest of the first wave of outfits, and the other dolls, check here.) For some reason, I had the darnedest time finding it until Rudi stepped in. Thanks sooo much, Rudi!

Pink Tomoyo outfit

These two outfits also seem to be dreadfully hard to find. They're made especially for the Tomoyo doll. I like the little purse.

Yellow Tomoyo outfit

A little mini-dress for Tomoyo.

Role-playing toys

Sakura's Clow Rod

C'mon, haven't you wanted to yell, "Release!" Maybe now if I can just get Tomoyo to sew me a Pam-sized jester outfit.... By the way, here's a look at the back of the box.

Sakura's Cel Phone

OK, so, you're a flying teddy bear with a taste for video games (stay with me a second here), and you can't defeat the next level of your Nintendo game and watch over you 10-year-old card captor too. What do you do? Why, stay in touch with your magical girl by means of this cute little pink cel phone!

Sakura's Key

Another Cardcaptor Sakura role-playing toy: this is the little key that Sakura wears on a chain. I think it's supposed to play music or something.

Plushies

Talking Kero-chan

Talking Kero-chan, complete with Osaka accent, this is a toy even wordier than talking Barbie. Just look at that little face! Now face it, you want a flying teddy bear who eats chocolate and watches soap operas, don't you?

Sakura in Yellow Dress

Sakura's yellow dress is not quite as famous as Askua's (from Evangelion) yellow dress, but it's pretty darned cute.

Sakura in Bunny Fighting Outfit

Don't think this one was included in the Battle Plushies set. Anyway, Sakura is all decked out as a fuzzy bunny, and ready to fight evil! (And people wonder why I love this show.)

Plush Kero-chan

Speaking of Kero, here's a mid-sized UFO catcher of our favorite video game-playing flying teddy bear. From Banpresto, of course.

Cardcaptor Sakura School Plushies

AFAIK, these were the first set of CCS plushies.

Sakura-chan

Tomoyo-chan

Li-kun

Kero-chan

Proof, you can't be too rich, or have too many Kero-chans!

Cardcaptor Battle Plushies 2

This is the second set of catchers that show Sakura's many battle costumes.

Mascot Keychains

These "mascot" keychains are all teeny and tagged. They are a must for shameless Kero-chan fans (such as I). Here's some closeups.

Kero in a Top Hat

Flying Kero-chan

Figures

Sakura action figure

This is another in the Bandai Real Model series of action figures. Unlike the others I've seen (which were boxed) this one is carded, and features Sakura in a cute battle outfit, plus a little bitty Kero-chan.

Tomoyo action figure

Ouch, sorry for the bad image! Anyway, yet another little figure--can you dig it?

"Golf" mini figure

These little bitty figures are adorable, and even come packaged in little boxes. I think this is supposed to be Sakura on the golf course.

"Beach" mini figure

Another cute little figure in a box, this is Sakura in her swimsuit.

Cardcaptor Capsule Figures

These are called capsule figures becaue they literally come in little plastic capsules, kinda like those old plastic Easter eggs.
