Momoko Doll
(
モモコドール
) is a 1/6 scale (27 cm, 10.6 inch) Japanese
fashion doll
, roughly similar in size to
Robert Tonner
's Tiny
Kitty Collier
.
Momoko was created in 2001
[1]
as a side project by a Japanese software company called PetWORKs.
[2]
(The creator was Namie Manabe (真鍋 奈見江), the art director.)
[3]
In 2004, PetWORKs handed the line over to doll-making firm Sekiguchi.
[4]
Sekiguchi altered the doll somewhat and turned it into a mass-market item competitively priced with other fashion dolls, but retained the general concept of an "everyday" modern woman one might find walking down the street in Japan.
[5]
PetWORKs continues to produce a limited number of Momokos every year in their Close-Clipped Sheep (CCS) line, using the Sekiguchi body but a slightly different face paint style, and sometimes a slightly different head.
The Momoko doll, like most
Asian fashion dolls
, has visible joints and good flexibility, able to tilt and rotate her head, bend and rotate the elbows, bend the knees, slightly flex and bend near the waist, flex the wrists and ankles, and so on. The Momoko doll is able to stand on her own without help, though a white metal stand is included.
Momoko outfits display a characteristic normality and simple elegance in a range of styles,
[6]
such as a variety of modern casual looks, typically Japanese school girl uniforms, Japanese
office lady
style, Western
bridal gowns
, Japanese summer
yukata
, and a variety of other looks
