Dollieh Sanctuary

happened across a pretty good deal on both of these as a set from the same JPN seller,
late-90's 1/6 Sakura Wars Character Dolls made by SEGA.
i've been considering them, off and on, for years, well, now they are finally mine;






my prime intent has since become to swipe their outfits for adaption to my 1/6 Samurai Spirits Nakoruru,
made by TAKARA in the mid-90's, a character from the legendary SNK NEO-GEO SAMURAI SPIRITS/SHODOWN Video Game series.

being in the same 1/6 scale, these Sakura Wars outfits should suit her to a tee with little to no alteration;




so far as the dolls themselves go, the typical BARBIE-like SEGA doll bodies well and truly suck big time. IMO,
and the facial sculpts are generally O.K but kind of weird in a certain sort of way.

furthermore, Sakura Shinguji's very Blue shade of hair is quite the departure indeed from typically Asian Jet Black
that she sports in pretty much every other depiction of her ever seen,
including Kosuke Fujishima's original art, so there is that little wrinkle as well.

all the same, they're probably the best Sakura Wars 1/6 dolls i'll ever have the chance to own,
and i'll probably be getting them each an OBITSU BODY eventually, and figure out something decent for them to wear
so they can take their proper places in my little Anime Harem...

just came in. plenty of work to do to get the best fit, but an initial fit photo in the meantime;

SEGA made a series of Magic Knight RAYEARTH dolls around 1995 or so,
that they re-released in the late-90's under the same "CharaDoll Selection" label
that they released these Sakura Wars offerings of theirs under.
they all share the same 11in. SEGA fashion doll body;




anyway, here's Nako-chan again, looking equal parts sexy and adorable;

fitment is coming right along, just about perfect now, in fact;

new Dress Gloves and coordinated Red Slippers for the Cheongsam outfit. pretty sure i'm fully satisfied with the whole thing now as is;

The first outfit looks great on your dollieh. A lot better than it does on the other doll.

Thankies~
