Toy Museum #6 - Packaged Schoolgirls
Comments: 3
Rika-chan is the Japanese equivalent of Barbie and has been around almost as long, I believe (although my copy of M. G. Lord’s “Forever Barbie” is stacked too deeply under other books to retrieve for confirmation). Here are miniature versions of her in various schoolgirl outfits, packaged for your retail pleasure.
These probably appeal to a couple of quite distinct audiences here in Japan — one intentional, the other … not as intentional.

The question is… which of these audiences are you? :)

Not sure what you mean. I just put “schoolgirl toys” into my favourite search engine, and wound up here. What kind of site is this, anyway…?

I’m the perennial third audience, of course: wide-eyed gaijin.

It’s any kind of site you want it to be. Well … almost any kind.
(You made me search Google for “schoolgirl toys” and the results were predictably horrific!)
