Takara's Licca PAPA (1997)

Licca PAPA, the first of many Takara dolls to come.



So recently I became bored with the dolls that I have been collecting for many years (not naming names, "cough" Barbie "cough"). Then one day when, with a sprained ankle, I was watching a show called Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir  when I had remembered the Takara dolls of Dennis Beltran and Orangey34 that I had adored so very much but never considered buying.

So then the researching started and then I came across this fella on eBay.



He is Licca's "PAPA"! He is so cute, and he was only $30.99*! I had seen him on eBay a long time ago and he was still there despite having 14 watchers. It was just too hard to resist him.



He has the cutest glasses, and the hair is set so perfectly and parted so crisply. The articulation of this doll is strange, but doesn't detract from his cuteness. I should also add that he photographs so well that it was impossible to choose what photos to include in this post.



So there's the story and I think I am becoming obsessed. I am going to leave this post with an artsy edited photo of my new PAPA!
