- Circus Bravo Lina
- One of the very, very first LIna dolls ever. It's historic! Way back in 1992, Lina joined Raph and Kisara in Ellie's Circus Bravo. I have yet to find the Ellie from the set, in case someone out there wants to buy me a Christmas present. Ellie's accessories include a golden cane, and you may be able to see she's a bit taller than Jenny. Lina started life as a blond, although Takara was to inflict many different hair colors on her over the millennia. (See below.)
- Jenny Shop Lina in black
- Lina as Morticia Addams? She's dressed in a very creepy, textured black dress, though her hair is actually dark brown, not black. The jewel on her choker matches the one on her ring and earrings. The box includes a note flanked with cobwebs, leading me to believe this may've been a Halloween-themed doll.
- Totoco Chinese Lina
- My spouse nearly spilled his Pepsi when I showed him this doll. "It's
Japanese Princess Leia!" Well, not really.
- Kiddyland Lina dolls
- Two different Lina dolls from the same series as above. Here's a close up on Purple Gal's face. The gal with the red highlight is my fave of the set, though I'm not usually a Lina fan. Here's a pix of her in a Super Action Jenny outfit (she's the one in the lower right, near the Nekobus).
- Castle Lina
- Yet another cool Lina doll, which I inherited from a nice person on Biscuit's Club. I like the mix of red and black hair on this doll.
- Shopping Channel Lina
- This set was made for what's evidently the equivalent of the Home Shopping Channel over in Japan. So, Jenny and her friends are cast as various hostesses. Kanae Ito is represented here by another of Our Favorite Friends, Lina. She's dressed in Qi Pao, and carries a neat feather....thingie.
- Castle Lina with blue hair
- Wow! I debated over getting this blue-tressed gal for a while, but I'm glad I did it. The inky blue hair is just outstanding on this doll.
- Castle Lina with wine hair
- From the oldest Lina, to one of the newest, this Lina was available by mail-order from the Licca-chan castle, and sports the newer wine colored hair.
