I can tell you, just 3 years ago I was sort of well off and walked into a store in Japan and walked out poorer than poor. Japan's merch is top notch and I felt homesick after returning and not being able to find anything close to the quality and cuteness back here in the Netherlands. If I did find it it would cost me like 4 times the usual amount.
I am hoping to do exactly that next year. I want to have at least 5-8,000 in spending money outside of travel costs so I’m going to have to WORK for that… but oh my god it would be so incredible
@@xCanadensis My budget was 7000 and I almost spent it all. My biggest tip is to go to arcades, if you see something, try to win till you spent like 10 dollars. Still didn't win? Go next door. 9 out of 10 times there's a thrift store where they sell that item for cheap. In Japan people get paid to donate to thrift stores, so people often win prices and sell them next door. You can of course skip the arcade part and go straight to thrifting, haha. The crane games are pretty hard.
I love Jennys! So cool. I don't know all that much about them, but the one I have is from the Angel's Garden series, apparently there was like a tape of stop motion Jenny animation using the dolls for a Power Rangers-esque sentai short where Jenny and her friends became the Angel's Garden team. The downside is these dolls often came dressed in clothing with red accents and the red bleeds into the rest of the clothes over time. But they're super cute lol
Those sound SO interesting!! Every Jenny I’ve seen has me so captivated! There’s something so uniquely beautiful in their eyes. Licca dolls are incredible too but there’s just something about Jenny- if that makes sense? Haha
It’s so cool to get to collect pretty things from around the world! Lol what a fun haul ☺️ Excited to see those Jenny dolls they’ have a pretty interesting history.
Hi, what great Jenny finds 😍 I only have one Jenny and she's from 1986, the first year of Jenny being produced. Before that, she was a Takara Barbie. I once wanted to collect Jenny but switched to Licca, she's easier to come by. Love, looooove that fashion pack for Jenny 🥰
I finally got out of the hospital and everything is different and scary now but seeing your videos has made me feel normal and comforted and I'm so glad you're here and I just wanted to thank u ;^;
I really like the figures at the end of the video. I'm looking forward to the video where you open the Jenny dolls. I am very interested in buying the Snoopy bowl if you decide to sale it. I do have Mercari. It would be a perfect Christmas present for my friend Teresa.
Thank you so much! I was worried that maybe it wasn’t an actual release date as some Barbies will have very wild “box dates” compared to actual releases aha
I think you can still get Jenny through Licca Castle ? Or at least EXTREMELY similar facial screening. They’re super expensive but I see them for sale a lot
How much did shipping cost for this? I’ve used a proxy service before and the shipping cost was so expensive 😭 I’m curious how much zen charges for their shipping.
Merch is my fav. I tend to keep my doll numbers smaller, but I'm a sucker for merch. Also not to be nosy but you mention moving to a more permanent house quite frequently. I was wondering do you already have a place to work lined up after school?
@@xCanadensis Just looked it up and seems so nice and easy to use! Definitely going to get the Neon Butterfly Rika-Chan doll! Btw love your channel, just started collecting in April and can't get enough 😊
Been trying to get in touch with you in regards to 2002 Japanese Tokyo Mew Mew dolls. I think you would like them as they are an anime series where these lovely girls transform into cats haha. Let me know if you are interested. Loved this haul by the way. Licca OMG is just devine.
@@xCanadensis oh my goodness little lady. How could you think I would charge you full price haha. Sent you another email but thank you for your reply. I'm actually a little star struck right now because you made my day haha.
@@dennyd2928 She said in the video that they're vintage and "pretty hard to find, definitely/especially for Americans" like it doesn't mean thrift stores in Japan are full with these dolls if you can't buy them as an international collector

my biggest flex is that I have a bratz hand soap 😌 I love Jenny dolls !! Hamtaro is iconic and these plates are so cute 🥰
See, you get it 😝😝
Absolutely love all that you bought! Thank you for sharing with us all.

Thst color is stunning on you!!
I also collect Jenny and Licca dolls. I love their features and fashion. 💕💕
I finally got out of the hospital and everything is different and scary now but seeing your videos has made me feel normal and comforted and I'm so glad you're here and I just wanted to thank u ;^;
I’m so glad you’re safe and okay. Please take it easy 🥺
It's great that there's more precure-ish content on the channel :)
It will definitely keep coming! :) I’m fully invested in the franchise and absolutely adore the dolls
great haul and you're back ground in the new doll room kicks butt:)
Hehe thank you! I still need to fully figure out the lighting!
I didn’t know Fontaine was hard to get. She’s literally the only Precure doll I own. I hope you were able to add her to your collection.
The Jenny dolls are soo stunning!!!
I think so too!

I’ll put it up on Mercari- reply to me again and let me know and I’ll link you to it
@@xCanadensis please link me to it
My grandma has hello Kitty toilet paper 😂😂😂
Iconic
I was literally looking up for the cure grace doll yesterday and now you got her 😩 i'm jealoussss
She’s super easy to get for good prices thankfully! Still having trouble finding the other two 😭😭
Amazing
I love Licca and Jenny dolls!
something about the little house reminds me of a hamster and a little hamster house. I think it's kind of on that scale. So unique and cute.
the jenny dolls were indeed released around the time indicated on the box! lucky☆
Thank you so much! I was worried that maybe it wasn’t an actual release date as some Barbies will have very wild “box dates” compared to actual releases aha
I wish takara tomy started releasing Jenny dolls again. :(

This was $150 which was mostly due to the dishes 🥲 usually I paid $100-$150 for much more stuff. Don’t order dishware

I am putting in my job applications now for next year and I’m just extremely excited and raving about it haha
@@xCanadensis Gotcha, way to go getting on it early! I'm excited for you😊
The dolls were great but I kept getting distracted by your hair it looks so soft, silky, and shiny like wow what shampoo you use?
I’m going to keep it real with you… I ran out of shampoo the other day and the roads are icy so I’ve been using body soap LOL
Is that how you purchased the Rika/Licca Chan dolls? Was it through ZenMarket? I really want them but have no clue how to purchase them 😂😭
I got them from Yahoo Japan auctions and used Zenmarket as a proxy

that’s so funny that the main hamtaro character is named sparkle because that’s my dogs name 🥺💕
The main hamtaro character is Hamtaro! Sparkle is a side character but she’s just a very common favorite- that’s what I meant haha
I just bought the 17inch madieline hatter doll and I love it sorry if I spelled her name wrong
Quite random but, How's Leggy?
What is your favourite Japanese doll line
Not sure yet! I only have a few
wait if you follow the precure merch bot on twitter does that mean you know of the mofa
Im new to your channel...i have a odd question...how do you pronounce your name...u say it so fast lol..btw you are ADORABLE💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
LOL I’M SO SORRY! It’s x-can-uh-den-sis. It’s the species name for an animal I really like and I never switched it out so now I’m stuck with it 🥲
@@xCanadensis beavers? lol
Anomalocaris canadensis
@@xCanadensis oh I just looked that up! What a neat looking creature!
First!!
The dolls arent that expensive tho:/pretty cheap for vintage dolls
Sometimes vintage isint always rare so it might be quite common
@@dennyd2928 She said in the video that they're vintage and "pretty hard to find, definitely/especially for Americans" like it doesn't mean thrift stores in Japan are full with these dolls if you can't buy them as an international collector
@@myra0224 :0 wowwww we didn't know thatttt :/ no but fr like they're only what like 170 bucks on ebay last time i got one so:/
@@animewolfie9567 That's expensive 😳
@@myra0224 it's not expensive at all-😀thats a small amount if money for vintage dolls that are hard to find
