Goro Tachibana (second from left), younger brother to Wataru, is one of those almost mythical dolls of which dreams are made. As part of first generation Licca-chan's storyline, Goro expresses boys' sartorial styles at the very end of the 1960s, and as such, is a proud exponent of Mod style. Goro's fashions, created by Takara, invariably feature short pants, sometimes with a tie, sometimes with suspenders, sometimes with a jumper, sometimes with overalls, but always, always - shorts, for Goro was after all, a kid, and long pants seemed to have been the purview of older boys like Wataru.
For this end-of-July-2023 feature, Dolldom celebrates the joys of being Goro Tachibana with an exploration of his style as only LeRetroz can do it. From space exploration to hanging out with Gumby and Pokey, LeRetroz's creations delight with their pop-culture references and tongue-in-cheek humor.
LeRetroz's fashions Goro his first pair of long pants in emerald green velvet to go with a colorful turtleneck. Yeah, Baby!
Double the fun! The Tachibana twins hang out with inseparable friends Gumby and Pokey in colorful shorts (yes, cool for summer!) with suspenders and short sleeved knit tops.
Goro plays that he is not lost in space in LeRetroz's imaginative space suit featuring 3-D printed helmet, glasses, and laser flashlight. But who are the inhabitants of this planet? Vintage Funny Fringes, of course.
Dolldom thanks LeRetroz for their generosity of spirit and never-ending dedication to the creation of what does not exist in the doll world. If it were not for LeRetroz, Dolldom would not have as much fun!
