Jenny

Happy Color Jenny Blue
This is not just any old weird haired doll, no no! Jenny's got Happy Color! Aren't you happier now? Take a gander at the back of the box to see the other two happy Jenny dolls, in pink, and lemon yellow.
Happy Color Jenny booklet
Got an old Takara Jenny or Barbie doll? Here's a cool thing to do: open 'er up and take a look at the neato keen booklet inside. This one shows Jenny buddies, Olive, Timotei, Jeff, and my main man, Tom.
Candy Pop Barbie
From the old days, while Jenny was still masquerading as Barbie. This doll was pictured in one of Glenn Mandeville's articles a while back, and I've been looking for her ever since. I just love her confident stance in the box.
Candy Pop Barbie booklet
This is the booklet that was packaged with Candy Pop Barbie. Page 2. Ooo, love that plaid coat, Ken. :-) Page 3. Wouldn't you just love to have a time machine set for 1985?
Totoco Kisara with long blue hair
In a shameless bit of pandering to Kisara fans world wide, the Totoco shop created a series of weird-haired Kisara dolls this year. The other set sports a Lulu-like bob hairstyle, but these long-haired dolls are pure Morticia Addams.
Totoco Kisara with long red hair
The worst decision for folks like me (Kisara fetishists with a yen for weird haired dolls) is: which Kisara to choose? Being the woman with no will power, it's no choice for me, I gotta have all of 'em!
Totoco Kisara with black hair
Oh, Kisara, how you tempt me with those darned side-glancing eyes!

Sailor Moon

Sailor Moon R Mercury
Not much Sailor Moonia this time, but what I have is very, very good. This is my one and only doll from the R series, the show's second season.

Gojira!

Gojira DX
Run for life--it "walking" Gojira! This mechanical representation of the "King of Monsters not only walks, he roars! Here's a scan of the box, including the back. Would you ever, in a million billion years have guessed he's going "GAOOOOO!" when he roars?

Magic Knight Rayearth

Umi CharaDoll Selection
Your fave magical trio, here has been re-released by Sega in the CharaDoll Selection series.
Fuu CharaDoll Selection
Although the packaging isn't as colorful this time around, as far as I can tell, the dolls and all the accessories are identical to the original MKR dolls.
Hikaru CharaDoll Selection
So what are you waiting for? Go get yourself a set of Rayearth dolls to save your bedroom, your cubicle, your car, or anything around that calls for Magic Knights.

Odds and ends

Utena candy
Look what I found at Uwajimaya, along with Pocky and a little talking Pikachu: Utena candy!
Active Styling Athena
A character from "King of Fighters 97," which I'll assume is a video game. This is in Kotobukiya's Active Styling series, although the packaging is very different from what I've seen so far.
