Gross Q - Kewpie with Skeleton & Organs showing Anatomically correct ( I think so anyway!) Phone Charm


Images from www.strapyaworld.com

Ever wanted to know what's inside a Kewpie? lol 

I fell in love with this little guy as soon as I saw him, as the Strapya World website was the only place I'd seen him, and had shown up as being "Out of stock" when I tried to purchase him, I decided to email them and find out when they'd be having a new shipment of stock in.

Sadly, Kosuke Fujii from Strapya World  mailed me to say this is product is discontinued *sob*

So.... If anyone has one of these and wants to sell it ... please Message me with details, I'd love to on this little cutie and would happily re-home him for you!  :D


**Blog Update**

Just found the crazy Advert for it too lol all in Japanese tho' but that don't matter it's cool!!

...Will have to post again when I can upload it :( I've just spent the best part of an hour trying too! Ah well can't be helped.

My Kewpie Collection


My Kewpies...

I was given my first Kewpie when I was about 8 by a Great Aunt who is sadly no longer with us...The doll was pretty old when she gave it to me and I took one look into those big eyes and fell instantly in love!

Over the years, through moving home and the like, I have lost many of the dolls I collected during my Childhood...Sadly my Kewpie was one of them.

In recent years, I have managed to get hold of a few more and here they are:

9 Inch Vintage Kewpie (on left).
7 Inch Vintage Maori "Holiday Souvenir Doll" (Right).
 5 Inch Vintage Kewpie (in front.)

Meet Mr.Tinkles...

He's made of really soft plastic and has moving eyes, they just roll around by themselves whenever you move him!

I've seen a couple more of these recently so suspect the pink pants are original (unfortunately these are sun-faded at the back) when you drop them...boy do you get a surprise!! lol

Anyhoo, other than that I know nothing, no manufacturer's stamp that I've noticed so any info would be great guys! xx

                                                       Kewpies Descending...

                                                      9 Inch (Vintage) Kewpie.
                                                      8 Inch (Vintage) Kewpie.
                                                      6 Inch (Vintage) Kewpie.
                                                      5 Inch (Vintage) Kewpie.
                                                      2 Inch (Contemporary) Kewpie.

 Both the 5 inch Kewpie and the 2 Inch Contemporary Kewpie have moulded wings stamped onto their backs.

This little guy (Oddly, my largest Kewpie) is my favourite,
 along with Mr.Tinkles!

He looks  just like the one my Aunt Bessie gave to me.

He stands at 9 inches tall.
Maori Kewpie Doll (Vintage New Zealand  Souvenir  Doll)
Circa. 1960's.

I didn't even know you could get dark skinned Kewpie dolls, so when I saw this one I had to have her!!

She's 7 inches tall and as cute as a button!


Here's my "Big Baby" again, he just seems to have the perfect Kewpie Look,
 well  as far as I'm concerned anyway!
5 Inch Vintage "Baby" Adopted  by Simon.
I liked to think of this little guy as a baby Kewpie, but that couldn't stop me feeling bugged by the shape on his head, the fact that it looks to me like it is "squished" and causing him to look like he's got an invisible hand pushing his head down into his neck!

It made him have a kind of "fold" in the plastic of his face around the eye region, and as this just didn't fit in with my idea of a "Kewpie Ideal", I decided he needed to be rehomed to someone who would love him!

I ended up giving him up for adoption to Simon, (a Flickr Friend). They make a good match!

Out for a Stroll...
They just make the "Perfect Family"
I'm still on a quests to enlarge my Kewpie Family, so I guess this page will be a work in progress for some time!

This is what I woke up to this morning!

13th June 2009 - Originally post on Dolls More Dolls on Multiply:





It seems Lil' Momma is settling in fine and has even made 2 new friends!

Donald and Kewpie appear to be plotting something with her while Loopy-Looby listens in and looks shocked at what she's hearing...

Should I be worried???
