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...
