So I really don't like surprise toys because I have a set budget for what I spend my toy money on and the idea of wasting my money on things I might not even like is not something I want to do. But hey, Australia Target has the Mini Fashion balls in, and since I generally like all of the options, I took a chance. And for ONCE, I actually get the option I wanted the most. So yeah, luck is finally on my side. #watarukun #watarukun #watarudoll #liccachan #liccadoll #licca #わたるくん https://www.instagram.com/p/CaWWZa6Jo73/?utm_medium=tumblr

Leisurely day off 🌞👣🍃🕶 #waturu #watarukun #watarulicca #manofleisure #cassettetape #walkman

Happy Lunar New Year! Honestly, it has been surprising how much more mainstream celebrating this has become since I was a kid where I had to constantly explain why my parents' idea of New Years was different to theirs, and now we got acknowledgement outside of the Asian sphere of things lol. Wataru is enjoying his lucky envelopes @jenjoysworld gave to me at a club meeting, though Masaru and Yamaru are quietly dealing with only getting one. Here's hoping good fortune and luck come to you and your loved ones. (Also, if you're born year of the Tiger, good luck surviving your bad luck year.) #watarukun #watarukun #watarudoll #liccachan #liccadoll #licca #わたるくん https://www.instagram.com/p/CZbGyWTpvLN/?utm_medium=tumblr

Thanks to @collecting_missbarbie and @jianyang1979 for the #myownbarbiestyle challenge. Literally everyone (including me) has essentially accepted Wataru as my dollsona and he's also my most frequently redressed doll so here's him with his most essential items. Of course Wataru can not be without his rice cooker or his toys, but it was difficult picking which clothing pieces to include cuz he's a greedy little gremlin. #watarukun #watarukun #watarudoll #liccachan #liccadoll #licca #わたるくん https://www.instagram.com/p/CPVHqEwJRPl/?utm_medium=tumblr

Day 5 of #mermaydg2021 with the theme Grotto. Decided to do a vintage throwback of what my 2020 Grotto looked like with Wataru and his cave. Probably a big reason why I revisited The Little Mermaid so often during lockdown was that I was surrounded by my own treasures but I wanted more..... Thanks again to @thadollylama for the prompts! #mermay2021 #MerMay #wataru #watarukun #watarudoll https://www.instagram.com/p/COfFmCSpa01/?igshid=651efygbod2m

Wataru, my vintage Licca chan boy friend doll, is an interesting size cuz his torso is basically Bratz Boy sized but his hands and feet are significantly more dainty. So while I love the quality and construction of Bratz clothes, the Y2K-ness of the clothing, especially for chunky feet and stuff has always left me wondering how Bratz clothes with more modern sensibilities would have fared on Wataru. So the Collector Bratz boy clothes I got from @dolldirt is an interesting look cuz they capture the upsides and downsides of Bratz clothes in a modern lens. #watarukun #watarudoll https://www.instagram.com/p/CO7tIqHpkq1/?igshid=111dgvlb3m301
