Oh! And clone Bild Lilli dolls from the 50s, before there was Barbie! I found out there were clones of Bild Lilli in Hong Kong and Spain with dark skin.
They can be found for cheap on aliexpress! You can either buy the head, body, and clothes separately (if you want something specific) or a full doll. All for really cheap. It takes a while to ship tho.
someone needs to make a full on history video of JENNY and her friends! I believe in the future, the Jenny line will return and will no longer be only found at Licca Castle
Yes! I’m so glad you uploaded! I would be interested if you could possibly cover obscure dolls from around the world? Stuff like Steffi Love and other country’s versions of barbies.
So glad you're back! This video makes me want to start collecting Licca-chan now. My mom said she used to have one from a friend ages and ages ago. We both think they had a major influence on the 1988-1992 Skipper dolls.
@@HaveYouHeardDolls it may have been, I'm not sure. I know she had the doll way before I was born. There's also Emi, a really popular knock off with a line of school clothes that people love on eBay.
Wow wow wow! This was such a great video! Had a nostalgia kick in wanting to start collecting Licca Chan dolls again and this was a great launching point!☺️💝
Fantastic video! ✨ I’ve always been fascinated by Licca Chan, since I’ve always been interested in Japanese culture and fashion. I don’t have one, since I’m not from Japan, but I would love to own at least one (maybe of the new streetwear dolls).
Thank you!! I have a Hello Kitty Licca and she's incredible - highly recommend. I've heard that some dolltubers were able to order the #Licca dolls directly from Amazon Japan - though I'm not sure about the shipping.
@@HaveYouHeardDolls I know a bunch of ways to get the dolls via proxy shopping! Shipping's expensive, as per usual with imports, but I'd like to get some dolls this way eventually!
Thank you so much for this video ! Your channel is a really amazing place for people that love to know more about fashion dolls! Have you ever thought about doing a video of the Fulla doll or perhaps Bild lilli?
I played with a few Licca-chan dolls growing up and I remember my grandma would put them in a display cabinet because they were just so pretty. I believe they are still in the same display cabinet because I was the only child, the dolls got preserved very well. The attention put into creating them can be easily seen on their clothes, shoes and accessories, they even come with a stand so that they can stand up straight in the display cabinet. They sure elicit fond memories from my childhood. Now I am a mother-of-two and looking to buy one for my youngest upcoming birthday but they are hard to come by in the UK. I believe the one I had (and still have in my family home) as a child are the fourth generation and it's interesting that they needed to revert back to the 4th generation after poor reception of the 5th generation. They are simply gorgeous, some of my friends played with barbie and western toys but I didn't see their appeals after being introduced to Licca-chan.
3:11 An item of note. TWO (or more) most infuential mangakas who's very much famous in Shonen and Seinen genre-Shotaro Ishinomori and Leiji Matsumoto- began their career with Shojo. For Master Zero. Shojo is his art evolutionary path, one that he gives the same Licca eyes to so many female characters even in Shonen genre (Battlefield series, Lightspeed Esper, Sexaroid), and leads to love of his life.. (3:43) he has to begin with Shojo because it once had bigger market. even Shueisha's flagship brand before Shonen Jump (founded in 1968), was Ribon (And Matsumoto did submit his manga works there).
So informative and interesting! I'd really like to collect some of these. Please keep up the good work. Would love to see something on the Dawn fashion doll. Thanks again!
Wow great video. It would be interesting to make a video about licca-chan sister brand fashion doll Takara Jenny. I know you already make a video about Barbie's history in Japan but i think we need a more information about jenny dolls.
Licca is a very cute doll, I'd like to have some but seeing how her and her huuge group of friends mostly have blonde or light brown hair must have impacted many Japanese girls in a not good way.
@@now591 Japanese girls and women have internalized a beauty standard that is, like Licca, 'haafu' - half Japanese, half 'whatever European country is more fashionable at the moment'. In Licca's time of creation, that was France (by the way, in Japan 'European' always means blonde and blue eyed as a rule. Even most Italian characters in anime are like that - speaking from experience). This is why many Japanese women dye their hair lighter colors (not really blonde because it looks fake, but lighter browns), have monolid surgery and contour their nose bridge with makeup to make it look taller. Of course they will deny they do that to look 'haafu', they can't say it outright to save face, but it is what it is.
0:42 Original designer is Miyako Maki. an espouse to the late Leiji Matsumoto. a very legend in his own right as Mangaka. And at a time Matsumoto even drawn women in the same style Miyako Maki does (and maybe with or without unusually long hair, something that might be his very own thinking). and this ultimately led to his evolved beauty standard that will eventually eclipsed her in Mid and late 70s.
Ohhhh I love Licca Chan!!! When I travelled in Japan in 2015 with my 6 years old daughter, we discovered these dolls who are absolutely lovely, imaginative !! For me it was like the mangas I watched when I was child (Sailor moon, and many many popular shojo anime in France in the 80s/90s!!) I bought some of these dolls, unfortunately in France it’s not found, and extremely expensive in Internet! In Japan it’s really cheap and with so many cool accessories !
i love ur vids!! its so interesting to learn more about different doll lines and ur videos are so informative 💞 you should totally make a video about the history of the Jem and the holograms doll line!!! it was so short lived but really cool nonetheless
Hi 👋 I have several ideas for your next video you can make videos on Diva Starz, Jem, Moxie Teenz, Beauty Cuties, NoviStars and Once Upon a Zombie☺ I hope that my comment can help you😉 otherwise very great video👍😍
I'm pretty surprised you talk about the Chabel doll, she was quite popular on the 80ths but it's still unknown if she was really done with Takara's conset or if feber just copied the sculp
In my research I saw some Chabel stickers that were basically copies of 90s Barbie promo photos (www.flickr.com/photos/98328300@N08/10730137636). I wouldn't be surprised if Licca-chan's likeness was used without consent, like what they did with the stickers.
Very interesting video! How about a story about the Gene Marshall and friends by Mel Odom ? They were first made by Ashton Drake and then Integrity Toys/took over for a few years
I've heard of these dolls before, they're so expensive to buy second hand. I honestly like the 1st to 2nd generation dolls, they look more child-like(since she's 11), modern licca chan looks more like a teenager/young adult. But she's still beautiful.
1:15 if Licca ever goes to space. as anything. either as an insert character in G1 Transformers (Also a big hit in Japan, the franchise itself eventually becomes 'genderless' and even advertised with girls). or a passenger of Galaxy Express 999 :P or if Takara even released Maetel winter garments (fur cap and fur trimmed overcoats). ?
3:58 This hairdo is not what Leiji Matsumoto gives to female characters he create. even with anyone that would... in Galaxy Express 999... bully or even tried to kill Tetsuro (or even Maetel) outright . eyes however were. (and eventually evolved to be even shaper in the end). with longer eyelashes)
can you make a video about "clone barbies" from each country? Like Sindy, Fulla, Tanya, Susi, etc.
Oh! And clone Bild Lilli dolls from the 50s, before there was Barbie! I found out there were clones of Bild Lilli in Hong Kong and Spain with dark skin.
I love Fulla sm😊
I liked talking Debbies because her clothes and shoes were perfectly interchangeable with Barbie's, with the added bonus that she could talk
I don't own *any* Licca dolls, but God I wish I did. They are absolutely beautiful and I love Japanese culture

My mom said she used to have one from a friend ages and ages ago. We both think they had a major influence on the 1988-1992 Skipper dolls.
That's so cool - by any chance was it a Lisa? 80s and early 90s Skipper really had that doe-eyed, shoujo manga vibe.
