   • when I load this post, there is no art…

2. The dolls are very lovely … I would have them too

   1

   • they’re quite popular in Japan

3. Loved all your photos here, and they do look like they would be something great to collect.

   • acrylic on PVC has a particular texture

5. Surely the De Luxe edition is the best because of the way you color its ensemble. But the background color in the original is more alive.

   Why they all come with very big eyes and very small nose and mouth? I’m serious, btw. ?

   • The look that came to be known as Anime was introduced to Japan by way of the American forces. Look at Disney animation and you can see this. But the Japanese already had their own look and feel, which descended from the woodblock prints; those two styles created a fresh new style… Anime!

     • I wouldn’t know what the heck woodblock print means unless I google it and I am lazy to do that. Disney style is closer to reality, Anime is a bit exaggerated. But well, I watched Doraemon and Lupin anyway ???

       • Lupin the Third!!! That show is so kick ass… Now quit being lazy and google Ukiyo-E

         • Ukiyo, the sadness of life. Interesting piece of information. Well, I like Ukiyo-e images. I still have problem with Powerpuff’s HUGE eyes and tiniest nose and mouth. And I find Arielle the mermaid cute. Doraemon and Nobita made me laugh so I can live with them. And Doraemon is my youngest sis fave so I have some bias.

6. My little granddaughter, who is five years old, collects another type of small dolls that she constantly exchanges for her dress and hairstyles.

   • interestingly enough, these sorts of dolls are mostly collected by adolescent and adult males

7. Haha, sooo cute!!
   I used to collect Gundam models until my mum broke one of them!!!
   Then she chuck all of them into a box … :/

   • what the… why’d she do that?

     1

     • The breaking part was an accident. She was cleaning the display case, she dropped one by accident and a piece fell out. She tried to fix it but use the wrong force and broke it totally!
       The it infuriated her! LOL. There, all goes into the storage box!

       I sometimes thinks she had OCD with how things should be clean and display … :/
       And there is NO WAY to not let her clean your room … :/

       • I almost forgot to do a post today

         • This is happening too dear Alex

9. I did not that figurines are very popular in Japan.

   • Massively popular, a huge industry

     • I thought that it was only in Catholic nations.

       • I guess both types are worshiped, but the Japanese kind are more for entertainment purposes than religious ones

         • I did not know that for a fact since I am too old to be playing with figurines.
