I am sitting here looking at several gorgeous Japanese Barbies, but I know nothing about them. They are Takara Barbies. One is dressed in a kimono and the others have fabulous dresses. There are two that come with a slew of accessories. I can take pictures and post them later if that helps. Gotta run soon to get ready for a wedding :)
 
I don't know anything about Takara Barbies, but I would love to see pictures if it't convenient for you. I've done a little research on Momoko dolls (which are expensive as heck) and Yue-Sai Wa Wa dolls, but never heard of Takara Barbies and would be interested to know more.
 
I guess one could get a general idea of their value (in their homeland, anyway) from the Yahoo! auctions site. Additionally, here's a Google search for "Takara Barbie price" (no idea how to look for a price guide specifically). Might be able to find something useful if you poke around with translation tools.

Oooh I second that~ would love to see some pics!
 
I can retake pictures tonight! I took a bunch of them but my hubby wiped my camera card (for a wedding) before asking me if I had put them on my PC :) They are super cute!
 
Those are so cool! You may have hooked me on something else:)
 
The only Japanese Barbie I know of is Licca-chan and Miki-chan by Takara
 
I am only familer with the Licca chan Barbie dolls but I found this on a site I have been too. This doll is Jenny Takara changed it in 1986 to Jenny cause they did not work with Matel anymore. They could not use the Barbie name anymore. These doll are very collectable and can be worth quit a bit. I don't think they are related to Licca chan but they might could share outfits as they are about the same size. Hope that helps
