TAKARA "Tenchi Muyo!" Ayeka Masaki Jurai (1990's)

I'll be welcoming my very first-ever "WaifuDoll" back into my life for the New Year.

20 years ago... i started down the road of Anime Character Doll Collection/Customization
all thanks to TOYNAMI's short-lived "Tenchi Muyo!" 12in. Character Doll Series,
Specifically, their "Princess Ayeka" (Ayeka Masaki Jurai)

She single-handedly inspired me to pick up Thread and Needle for the first time in my life,
and struggle to attempt to learn the art of hand-sewing... for her sake.

little did i ever suspect that she was merely the kick-off... for what was to become an entire new hobby for life for me, but... Here We Are, Today.

Anyhow, i moved on from her before the 2000's were quite through, never to look back... Until Now.

As i Said, She will be Returning to me... - by JAN. 2nd or so - in the form of the original mid/late-90's Japanese-Market TAKARA Doll
that will readily adapt to the same OBITSU 26 Doll Body that all of my other Girls share,
Allowing Ayeka to take her proper place in my little Anime♥Family once and for all time~

i was brought into Anime fandom around the mid-90's by Mecha series, such as S.D.F. MACROSS (ROBOTECH)
and then... around the late-90's, i began to discover TENCHI, in various places...
beginning with the 1st Movie on SCI-FI CHANNEL. by the turn-of-the-millennium,
i was a full-blown TENCHI Fan, and thanks to it's general mainstream popularity
due to the OVAs/T.V. Series/TENCHI in TOKYO being hosted
on CARTOON NETWORK's "TOONAMI" Programming Block,
TENCHI Merchandise was to be found all over in the U.S. in the early-2000's...
more-or-less being capped off by those Aforementioned 12in. TOYNAMI Dolls that i once had;







As Previously Mentioned; i had fallen in love with Ayeka Jurai... and the rest, is History...

 

She Arrived Today!!! More to Come; as i finish adapting her Wardrobe to the OBITSU 26 Sizing.

"Oiled" her Hair into shape with FRAY CHECK Fabric Adhesive, and added Earrings;

 

I'm Confident i'll get a better fit out of her Kimono with a little additional finessing,
but for now, my First Waifu Doll is back~
