Other People's Stuff!
What's so great about other people's anime toys, you may ask. Well you
may ask! (1) Easy to dust. (2) Doesn't show up on your Mastercard
statement. (3) People send you faboo pictures! Groovy, baby!
- Korean Rose of Versailles dolls
- These photos were taken by Anna Clardy. This version of Lady Oscar
and Marie Antoinette are from Mimi World, a Korean company that seems to
specialized in knockoffs. Here's a close
up of the dolls. There is actually a third doll pictured on the back of the box.
- More Korean Rose of Versailles
dolls
- The rest of the photos are from my buddy, Corky Visminas. (Note that
in both cases, as Corky notes, the mirrors are just too damned big
for the dolls!) These dolls and Anna's set appear to be in identical
packaging, but the dolls are wearing quite different costumes, as is
apparent from this view of Corky's dolls loose. Here is another view of the dolls so you
can get a better look at Lady Oscar's big floppy hat. Corky notes that
while Marie's hat is pinned on, Oscar's is glued in place. Boy,
it's like being sentenced to be a bridesmaid for life!
- Maeter
- Wow! This Galaxy Express 999 gal was made by Popy. Corky notes that
she's missing her big floppy hat. See what happens when it's not glued
down! Here's a better look at Maeter's face.
- Sailor Moon Hina Matsuri
dolls
- CUUUUTE! Doesn't Sailor Moon look coy behind that fan? Here's a
picture of the dolls in box.
- Arale
- Arale is strongest in the world! Although my friend ellen insists
that this Dr. Slump character is actually my alter ego, I don't believe
the resemblance is that strong. I stopped coloring my hair purple back in
the 80's! This doll was made by Popy. Here's a picture of Arale in box, (love the little travel
bag) and a picture of the loose
doll.
- Another Arale
- Corky calls this one, "Big scary Arale."
- Akira
- Corky's comment on this Medicom doll: "Akira doing what he does best,
looking scary!"
- Charles
- This Takara doll is one of Licca-chan's many buddies. Love that outfit! If the head mold looks
familiar, it's because it's the same one used for Jenny's buddy, Kisara.
- Sega/Tect Rei
- Kotobukiya Rei
- It's Rei-o-rama! The Kotobukiya Rei figure has actually stolen one of
Brenda Breyer's outfits.
- Bob Saget
- Scary, isn't it?
Thanks again to Corky and Anna for sending along these great
pictures!!!
