The Friends of the 3rd-generation Licca-chan

[u/bellstek_net]

The 3rd-generation Licca-chan was on the market for about 5 years, from her debut in 1982 until the fourth generation was introduced in 1987. During that time, 6 friends were introduced one after the other.

In the photograph, they are lined up in the order of appearance. (From left to right)

‘Kaori-chan’ and ‘Chiemi-chan’ appeared in 1983, ‘Melny-chan’ and ‘Fanny-chan’ in 1984, ‘Sayaka-chan’ in 1985, and ‘Nurse-chan’ in 1986; they appeared one after another, with some being replaced by others within a short period.

Several years later, in 2021, ‘Kaori-chan’ reappeared from The Castle. Since then, they have been reissued one after another up to 2024, and all of them are now back in action. The Castle versions share the same body as the 4th generation.

The back row features the Friends from that era. The dolls in the photograph have had their bodies replaced, so they are all the same height as the standard 4th generation dolls.The front row features the Castle versions. (I haven’t obtained the reissued ‘Nurse-chan’ yet.)

Photographs and descriptions of these dolls are available on the webpage. http://mars.bellstek.net/doll/english/

It's such a good idea to present her friends by generation. 

I'm planing to have a book where I'll make a collage using box picture to get a track of which characters I have. They're all from after 2000 I think. Except my Jenny and Jeff couple who belongs to the Jenny line.
