Pastel Blue Charmy-chan by KODAMA SANGYO TOY

Squeezed it and the vinyl gave that soft, springy bounce you only get from Japanese-made dolls. The pastel blue is even prettier in person, more like a faded sky than the photos suggest. Sat it on my shelf next to my older retro toys and it fits right in.

The soft vinyl has that authentic retro feel you can only get from a Japanese-made doll, and the pastel blue is so delicate it almost glows. Mine arrived in flawless condition and looks perfect on my shelf next to my other Showa-style collectibles.

This pastel shade is even prettier in person, and the soft vinyl feels properly nostalgic, like a toy from my childhood. It's a charming piece of Showa retro design that sits nicely on my shelf.
