After serving the youth (and more than a few adults)
of Japan with great toys through the decades, toy
manufacturer Takara takes a moment to celebrate
itself through a collection of toys that takes
buyers on a tour of their successes and storied
franchises spanning from 1967 to 1988.
In the early days of the company, Takara was famous for the Licca
Chan doll which was prized by girls and young women
for its stylish garb and and hairstyles. In 1972,
Takara created the Microman series of toys which
stoked imaginations with a line-up of miniature
humanoids and robots that would eventually make
their way into America as the Micronauts.
As the 80s rolled around, robot and morphing toys were the rage in
Japan and names such as Sentai Rangers, Gundam, and
Macross ruled television and toy shelves. Takara
created their own line up changeling toys and called
them the industrial name of "Car Robot and Micro
Change." Sensing a good thing, American toy company
Hasbro licensed Takara's new product line and dubbed
the robots "Transformers." .
The Takara History Collection visits all of the aforementioned toys
and also takes a gander at the Choro Q line, Flower
Rock, and Koeda Chan Tree House. To revisit the past
in proper detail, the original cardboard packaging
for every toy is recreated in miniature form to
house the toy. As a sort of extra bonus, a little
packet of bath salt is included in every toy
package. Please take note of the twelve possible
figures as we have listed below:
Choro Q (Two possible car variants)
Flower Rock (Two possible color variants)
Koeda Chan Tree House (One type only)
Microman (One type only)
Mr Wataru (One type only)
My Licca Chan (Three possible dolls in
