My Girls, early/mid-2000's

[tasuke]

The little sailor girl, second from the left in the bottom photo, is especially cute!

those were among my very first Anime dolls, a pair of the old late-90's/early-2000's BANDAI/TRENDMASTERS "CARDCAPTORS" Sakura Kinomoto bendy bodies;



i sort of "stepped up" from those to a much larger scaled, custom doll in the late-2000's,
based around the head of an HK market version of the BANDAI (Bootleg?)
mated to the first version of the 2008 revised 24cm OBITSU BODY. the results were rather mixed;



finally, last year, moved to this custom; a seamlessly perfect marriage of the recent TAKARA "Liccarize" Sakura doll's head,
with the brand new, virtually perfect second revision of the 24cm. OBITSU doll body,
with her original costuming heavily modified to fit her new body properly.

i figure that this is likely to be the finest Sakura Kinomoto doll i'll ever have occasion to own;
