Anokohadare Series Yuu-kun
I really don't know what to call this adorable looking doll. There are no markings on his back and even at the back of his head. I bought this doll in the second-hand shop again as I have a hobby of adopting things that I think I can restore. He was wearing what looks like preschool uniform. Sadly, I cannot really find enough information about him. his old uniform was so damaged by dirt that I don't know if the cleaning damaged the original color of his shorts. The yukata he wears now is handsewn by me. I think it really fits him. For my next free time, I will definitely sew some socks or make his wooden slippers. Edit: Finally found an information about this doll. It was called Anokohadare Series dolls. According to the blog I found, it was released during "Epoch around Showa 60". In some listings it was dated as 1988. I don't know which one is correct. The original clothes that he wears is a part of the "Youchien Look" series. The doll is named Yuu-kun according to the blog.

Takara Jenny Angels Garden AGIS 1999
As always, I buy second-hand dolls than new ones. I just like the thought of giving another chance to things. I bought this without clothes and accessories and ofcourse with a few damage parts in her hair. The clothes she's wearing are handsewn by me and just added a few accessories with beads and embellishments.

Konapun Crepe Kitchen (2007)
This is my very first Konapun toy. I was looking for an accessory for my obitsu11 dolls and it was a perfect fit! I bought it second hand so there's only a few accessories included. I used my air-dry clay and decoden whipped cream glue for making the crepes. (My model for the picture is my obitsu11 doll wearing a Rurikawa Yuki (A3) clothes that I hand painted and handsewn.)

Luckily, I got a new set complete with all the materials needed for making the miniature foods. I watched some videos of this in YouTube and it looks fun to make (especially the french-fries!).

Konapun Burger Kitchen (2007)
I got this again in a second-hand shop. I don't know if mine got the original accessories (like the crepe kitchen at the side). I really like that there's a lot of molds for this set.

Takara Licca doll (4th generation)
I own a lot of Licca dolls that belongs to the same generation. I bought most of them because of doll clothes sewing ideas and some were rescued dolls from second hand shops. I bought her without clothes, her hair was tangled, and she has a light purple mark on her left eye. After restoring her, I hand-sewn a vintage inspired dress for her. I completed the look by also making her a necklace, earrings, bracelet, and bag. 💕

1995 Bandai Japan Eternal Sailor Moon Dream Pocket Doll
I grew up watching Sailormoon with my sibling in the 90's. It was my first encounter with magical girls. And until now, many collectors are still collecting toys of Sailormoon produced in the 90's. This is one of my favorite finds. It is a mini doll of Sailormoon. The complete set has white shoes and a pink bag that has a transparent pocket.

Takara Timotei (Jenny friend) 1995
A new version of Timotei was produced by the year of 1995. The notable change on the doll was her eye. the first version has blue eyes, and this second version has green eyes. I think the hair is also longer. I read in one of the museums here- Oswald's Museum- that there are a lot of small changes on every reproduction of the green-eyed Timotei.

Fashionable Pico Dress-up Doll by Sega 2000
I don't know much about this doll. What helped me a bit to find information about her is the markings at her back which are "SEGA" and the year 2000. I read somewhere that there is an educational computer for kids called PICO made by Sega. Not sure if this doll is related to that. I don't have her original clothes. But good thing Licca's little twin sisters' clothes fit her perfectly.

Takara Licca chan new gen
I love researching about traditional clothes of various countries. One of my favorites is the Japanese traditional Kimono. For my rescued Takara Licca doll (she came with a very damaged hair, so I have to cut her hair and make her a bun), I just altered a free kimono dress I got from the second-hand shop to make her an outfit. I always make use of everything in my stash even doll clothes that are damaged (this were usually given as freebie from the shops) to give them second life. I added the fur, handsewn the bag, and hair accessories. I was aiming for the coming-of-age traditional look for girls. I know Licca chan is not 20 years old, but I don't have any Jenny or even the mama Orie dolls at that time I made this. Maybe in my day-off I will recreate this look for my Jenny dolls.

Cure Milky doll Bandai (Star Twinkle Pretty Cure)
Maybe produced at the same year as Cure Star at the year 2019. Short haired dolls for me are very adorable. Cure Milky shows a fun personality. I even love how they designed her clothes and accessories. The doll really resembles how she looks like in the anime.
