This doll is definitely similar to Phicen dolls which are made from TPE (thermoplastic elastomer), except that the Phicen has a jointed stainless steel skeleton inside rather than wire. I've heard of the 'skin' developing small tears over the joints from prolonged poses so with this doll it might be a good idea to change their poses every couple days or return them to neutral position afterward. This Sayaka however has proven resilient to 2 decades of time in her box though!
I've always wished there was a mermaid Jenny, I've looked endlessly. Licca has had so many mermaid dolls made! So unfair Jenny hasn't! Takara make a mermaid Jenny!!
Love when you make videos about Jennys. I ended up getting another one recently myself and the good news is they are incredibly easy to rebody if you wanna do that! At least the one I had, the neck was just held on by a cone shaped piece of plastic that the head just slides on and off of easily.
She's so pretty. I had a doll that could bend like that but not the neck when was little (early 70s). She was as bout 7inches tall. Your doll has such a cute face.
What a fascinating doll. I wonder if anyone's ever done a comparison with the bendable Barbies that were made in the early 2000s, Dance and Flex I think was the name.
You are legit the queen of dolls, the most impressively diverse collection 💖 Your reaction to the "natural body" was literally my reaction when I first got one hahahah
If those hair accessories have closed loops you could take some rubber bands from LE doll packaging and snip them, thread them through and then seal them again with a hair straightener
Amazing. Thanks for sharing cuz im always looking for dolls with those really cool seamless posable bodies. Trying to channel your luck in deal finding cuz honestly what a steal
I had one of those gumby bodies once! It was Licca size, and I'd bought it without a head. I really like her shoes. The soft skin Obitsu bodies can move their necks like that.
I have a vintage violet parr doll that I got new in box for like $12 and she had that same yellowing problem, I bought a jakks pacific incredibles 2 one to replace my broken hand one but tue seller sent me another 2004 one and the one I got that wasn’t sitting in the box had much less yellow skin, which is probably the reason I was a little disappointed in her. but yea I’m thinking a similar thing happened with u :0 also another interesting note is that my Georgia doll had a similar kind of gel that was soft and works with the curls which is one pf the main reasons I won’t wash her because that gel let me dry brush her curls and they came out immaculate omg-
I know you don't really collect modern Barbies but have you ever played with a MTM? They do have limits to their torso joints, but they can do so many fun poses.
I much prefer the fashionista bodies from the 2010’s because the double joints are a bit clunky for me and I’m not honestly super into ankle joints’ appearance
@@xCanadensis I get you. Sometimes it takes a lot of force to get the second joint to move too. Never had the earlier Fashionistas, but I know people love them.
She does does kind of remind me of a phicen. I've always been curious about what it's like to pose those. I have some newer style obitsu bodies that are jointed but fleshy through the abs. I find that body super cute to pose, like it has a little more range and prettier joints than a made-to-move Barbie body.
Do you know much about the Jenny takara dolls? I got one today but I can't find any information. I would like to know the value of her but I can only find one thing about her which is a post on reddit
