I’ve been working on yet another project of mine. I had the desire to create a 1/6 diorama 80’s shoujo style Zelda castle. I grew up with the original Zelda and I absolutely adore 80s style anime and artwork. After a bit of deliberation I decided on Marine to be my Princess Zelda.
Of course since I am making Zelda she must have her hero Link! ….
I’m making this post mostly to document Raph Who is the Takara Jenny friend doll I have decided to use for Link. There isn’t a whole lot that I can find on Takara Jenny dolls. My favorite part of getting into new dolls is doing research! There are especially few pictures on the guy friends. So I decided I would take some pics and post him for a reference for anybody who may be looking. I was looking at another guy also but in the end I went with Raph as I felt he looked the most like classic Link.
The guy dolls are pretty hard to find, but I was able to get a good deal on him because he is stained. I’m not worried about that since with a little patience most stains will come out.
I’ll probably be putting him on an obitsu body. I’ll have to remove all of his hair and make him a wig. He’ll also be getting some Hylian ears! And I will have to make him his hero tunic. I may commission someone else to do it, I’m not sure yet.
Stay tuned hopefully I will keep updating more XD
