The super-cute collaboration with popular “Relaxed Bear” character Rilakkuma includes two special doll models and a life-sized, functional backpack.
Eyewear brand Paris Miki teams up with Japan’s favorite Barbie-like doll, Licca, to offer a cool and sophisticated glasses line for women.
When the girls grew up and took their first sex-education class, they were shocked to learn that birth wasn’t quite so simple…
