Takara Licca

[tulagirl]

Hey, does anyone here collect Licca or other Takara dolls?  I have three Licca dolls, they don't have their original shoes and one is missing an earring.  I can't seem to find much on ebay in the way of large lots of clothing and shoes...which I was hoping for. I am planning on getting one item...what to do about missing earrings?  Any suggestions.  It drives me crazy to see only one earring...and I like original to the doll stuff.

Also someone gave one of my Licca's a haircut in the bang area...I don't reroot, but I was wondering would it be bad to reroot just the front?  Has anyone taken a Licca head off?

I have one Licca that I bought from a member here. She came to me nude, and I don't have a lot of clothes that fit her, although I could get some Blythe stuff for her (and I have a Byul that stuff would probably fit too).

Here she is:

I have a Licca doll that I bought on Amazon a few years ago. You might be able to find some stuff there, but it might be a little pricey.

Hm.. I think the best bet for replacing earrings would be to buy one of the cheaper playline dolls off eBay and take her earrings out. Sometimes people just sell heads on there too, so maybe you could find some similar earrings that way?
As for shoes, I've been having trouble with that too. There are some Barbie shoes (although they could be knock-offs) that fit, I just went through my childhood Barbie shoe collection and tried to stuff Licca's big feet into them to be honest 

Here are my two girls in some handmade dresses (and original Licca shoes). I love these dolls so much, if I weren't so constantly and astronomically broke, I would buy one each month

I don't collect Licca but I think she's really cute. Is yours one of the newer ones or an older line?

Some people do partial reroots of Barbies so I'm sure it'd be fine to do one on a Licca provided you
can match the colour of her hair well.

I think mine are newer and I still love them.  I will take a photo. I did win one lot with an outfit and some shoes.  Won't be original to the doll but its original Licca which is better than nothing.  I really want one with pink hair lol.

Yes I have looked there and they are quite high.

Hey I just had a thought maybe some 90's Skipper doll clothes and shoes might fit?

I'll have to check my clothing buckets and my shoes.  I have a Takara Licca that can try everything on to see what fits.  I have an original dress to the one I have that I might be willing to sell/trade as well.  I'm not sure which Licca mine is so I'd have to take pictures so you can see the dress if you are interested.

I don't think I have any Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen dolls left anymore.  I wonder if they had the same sized feet....

I think vintage Skipper clothes will fit  - I've bought some Licca clothes for my vintage
Skipper and they fit her really well! Blythe clothes will probably fit, too. Of course,
these are both more expensive but there are some patterns out there if the OP likes making clothes.

I don't know if Licca has the same size feet as either Skipper or Blythe, though.

[Vertefae]

Liccas feet are bigger than Blythe. I'm not sure about Skipper feet.

[tulagirl]

I am kind of a purest collector with dolls in that I really prefer to not cross lines when it comes to clothing and accessories. I only want the skipper stuff for skipper and the licca stuff for licca.  Its just me. I can't seem to change that about myself.  Skipper clothing just doesn't look right on Licca at all and as far as the shoes go, they do fit but they make her look silly and age 8/9 instead of the age 11 she should be.

[ember86]

That's cool, have you thought about going to some doll shows, it's kind of a long shot, but sometimes there are sellers who have Takara Licca dolls and clothes and Takara Jenny dolls.

[tulagirl]

Yes that's a possibility.  I have gone to several in our area and they never have Japanese items and mostly antiques never any moderns.  There is a convention coming up that might lead to a possibility since its Anime related.

I see a lot of adorable Licca-chan outfits for sale on eBay, but the shipping prices can be killer as they usually ship from Hong Kong or Japan. I used to have a cute Licca-chan but I gave it to my little niece. I also have a few Takara Jennys, but Licca-chan is just so much cuter. c:

Yea I did get a lot on ebay that was sold in the USA. I was trying to avoid the Hong Kong sellers as many had not so great feedback and it will waste my time and money to buy something and it not show up or worse be the wrong thing.  It made me nervous when I read some of the feedback. I would rather buy from Japan or a local collector.
