("Stylish behavior is cool!")
1971 was the year when Takara's Licca-chan doll became - not unlike Mattel's Barbie - a lover of sun and fun as Pichi-Pichi Licca. Suntanned and sporting a blonde side-parted, straight hair style, Pichi-Pichi Licca and her outfits brought an outdoors-oriented perspective to the world of fashion and fun that began in 1967 for Licca Kayama, her family and friends.
Pichi-Pichi Licca was offered concurrently with the main Licca-chan line and featured a neck knob design that imparted a diagonal orientation to the dolls' head movements. Although the doll's face-up design remained the same, the vinyl color and hair style created a unique persona that emphasized the outdoors with playsets for sailing, scuba diving and mountain hiking. But, as production was limited to 1971, Pichi-Pichi Licca dolls, fashions and accoutrements are considerably hard to find in the secondary market.
For our final, Pichi Pichi Licca wears her original halter dress with cream lace detailing. But it is Wataru-kun who rocks a heather grey jumpsuit with faux leather finishes and felt cap by Cindy Marut.
