5) Japanese Doll Licca-Chan Gets Pregnant
By Ina Steiner
Licca-Chan, who is celebrating her 35th anniversary next year, is pregnant! The makers of the doll have created a pregnant model. Owners may request a baby doll and a key to "deflate Licca-chan's belly to pre-pregnancy proportions." The Crown Princess of Japan recently gave birth to a baby girl, which may have prompted the toy maker to introduce the new model.
