[ID: Licca 20th Fashion Story] Licca 1600 27th Fashion Show From Japan

Does anyone have any idea what this doll is?

All I get from the box is her title and that she is Licca?

Yup her name is Licca. Licca and Jenny are different - I think Licca is supposed to be younger (a bit shorter (?) and the face is a bit rounder). The name of the line is '20th Fashion Story' and I gather each doll is dressed in an outfit from a different period of the 20th century (this one being an outfit of the 1900's)

Thank you!  I was thinking Licca was the doll type and after looking it up on ebay I was seeing Jenny as a name so I thought maybe Licca had her own name, not that Licca was her name. 

I've put her up on ebay so at least now I feel like I know what she is better.

From your reply I don't know if I explained myself well! I was confused about the whole Jenny/Licca thing at first too. They do look pretty similar and people seem to collect both and sellers tend to put both names in an item listing (like with Pullip and Blythe). I read the wikipedia articles on the dolls and that's how I figured it out. Both the name Jenny and the name Licca are equivalent to the name Barbie - acting both as a brand name and given name of the doll. So the doll Jenny is her own line of doll, and the doll Licca is her own line of dolls.

On a totally random note, the licca-chan article on wikipedia will direct you to the rika-chan article which is oh so weird. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rika_chan

Okay, I was still a little confused.  Mainly because on ebay there are some Liccas that they also use the name Jenny in the listing.  But what you are saying is that Licca and Jenny are not related at all.

Thank you!

And that article is very very creepy!!!  A third leg, what!?  I like how it says she "can" then grow a third leg.  As if it is something good to get a purple leg that doesn't function and will eventually kill you.

Holy cow you weren't kidding!  That is really creepy!
