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

[tasuke]

actually, i too had one of those BANDAI/TRENDMASTERS Cardcaptor Sakura dolls, back around the same time i got the Tenchi Muyo ones;



her and the four IRWIN Sailor Moon dolls i also had, were actually all part of my first rudimentary collection of Anime dolls;



it was just that the Tenchi Muyo Ayeka was my favorite, by far, and the girl i was constantly using as my model
during all the trial and error and successes of my slowly-developing skills at doll-tailoring.

while i haven't yet, and, may never, get a chance to replace those long-gone Sailor Moon dolls with modern equivalents,
i did get a second chance at Sakura Kinomoto, thanks to the new TAKARA/TOMY "Liccarize" doll series, and positively jumped at it;
