Tasuke's Anime Dolly-a-Whenever Thread...

[tasuke]

Whoops!! i should have specified; i had that CPK Astronaut as a boy, up until about 1989/1990 or so,
when my mom sold it off in a yard sale, along with a bunch of other stuff that i was beginning to outgrow.

the photos above are not mine, but the blond curly-haired one in the boxed photos
happens to be pretty much identical to how i remember mine being.

i've strongly considered getting another one, but the aging/discoloration of the suit,
on most every example i've seen out there priced within reason, is rather discouraging.

also, -no offense to CPK fans intended- i happen find the faces on CPKs to be, to put it delicately, not at all to my taste.

so, if i was to actually break down and get another one, -perhaps one of these odd days-
i'd likely end up having to find an especially cute girl doll of similar sizing to a CPK,
-probably some sort of Precious Moments girl- to wear the suit instead.
 
in the meantime, i still have the paperwork and box clippings that my mom kept from my original,
as well as the now rather sloppy looking job i once did on an attempt on a modern replacement for the CPK;
