[QUOTE="scoutshouse, post: 840753, member: 267"]I'm definitely old enough to know what an original looks like! Lol I totally agree with opinions on both versions. I'm only doing my homework! I've seen them with foil tags between the wings. Frankly, between people assuming these are all 2' or 24"tall and not including info on marks, I'm just not willing to go back and find one with! Larger Obitsu are 21.5" and 25", not 24" and they're easy to ID by lips, eyebrows etc. I thought this new wave of Kewpie popularity might interest doll folks. We must never underestimate the Japanese love of Kawaii (cuteness)! [IMG]https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/41VMAFVPDTL._AC_SY400_.jpg[/IMG] Of course, these repros are not even close to OG Kewpies on the kawaii scale! Could use a bath, but here's my Mom's kewpie. [ATTACH=full]195224[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]195225[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
