Straight out of a 1970s Christmas morning time capsule, this wide-eyed darling looks like she wandered right off the pages of a retro toy catalog. With her plump cheeks, glossy vinyl skin, and cartoon-big lashes, she's pure mid-century Japanese charm - most likely made by Sekiguchi Co., the same folks who gave the world Monchhichi and a generation of heart-melting expressions. She's dressed in her original red velvet holiday dress with white trim and twin satin bows - the kind of doll that makes you want to braid your hair, sip cocoa, and queue up the old claymation specials.
