r/liccachan

They were $19.99 each.

This is my second ever Licca-Chan doll ive ever had!! I love how she came with a checklist of all the dolls that released during that time along with a hair tie charm for her and more!! Im so happy ♡

Shiratori Izumi-chan first appeared in 1991 as a friend of the 4th-generation Licca-chan. Her eye design was slightly changed in 1996, and she remained popular until 2007—the year after the company merger. She is now a member of The Castle.

Izumi-chan (excluding the Castle version) has slightly longer legs and is taller than Licca-chan, but in my collection she has the same height as Licca-chan.

The name "Izumi-chan" has appeared three times within the Licca-chan Friends. Although official settings state they are different characters, it feels as though there might be some special circumstance. (There was no Izumi-chan during the 3rd generation period.) In the 1st generation and 4th generation Izumi-chan, the number of eyelashes changed from 7 to 4 at the midway.

Izumi-chan’s head is the 9K16 type. This head is used for many of the Licca-chan Friends, but Izumi-chan was the first to feature it, and the inside of the neck hole is marked 1991. It has a rather elderly look, and its impression changes considerably depending on the make-up.

After I got my first Licca Chan doll (who is pictured with these two new girls in the last photo), I decided that I would be collecting more and recently got these two cuties 2nd hand from Aliexpress. Just like the first one, they didn’t come with any clothes (except underwear), so I really had to get creative and worked with what I already had among my doll clothes/accessories. It took a while to find the right looks for both of them, but I’m really happy with how they each turned out. 💕🥰

And for those who may be wondering about what the new girls are wearing … The lilac haired Licca is wearing a purple dress from Disney’s Star Darlings doll line by Jakks Pacific, her purple flats are from a Mulan doll by DisneyStore and her purple purse is probably from a Barbie fashion pack. The blonde haired Licca is wearing a pink Cinderella dress by Hasbro (it was included in a Disney furniture playset from 2016), her pink sandals are from a Barbie storage closet playset and her pink heart purse is from a Barbie Extra Fancy doll. 💜🩷
