**SINGAPORE'S 'ROSE-CHAN' DOLL**
1995 'Rose-chan' doll dressed in Sarong Kebaya was issued as part of Takashimaya 3 rd Christmas celebrations in Singapore. There's something serenity about these Rose-Chan Dolls with its rosy face and buttocks expression, and sense of liveliness to its body,their half-closed eyes..demure looking and with a tinge of shy smile...the 'Rose-chan' of Takashimaya is certainly widely adored.
At first, l do not understand what was the big fuss on this Rose-Chan doll about until l personally come into contact with one of them...2007 Rose-Chan goes Chinese Opera...Fall in love with this mascot doll immediately. Hence the start of my collection...
I have attaché those pictures of Rose-Chan dolls that l have learnt to adore but missed out sorely on its collection...This is the end result of my procrastination aka a snail's pace as l pondered by...And when l finally made up my mind to get my hands on the Rose-chan dolls...All l get is the signage of "Fully Redeemed" at the customer service counter in Takashimaya...
The scene replayed by itself over and over again till l decided to go out and grab myself a Rose-Chan doll...
Ha-Ha ^@^
The best part of the deal was that these Rose-Chan (Limited edition) are redeemed complimentary by consumers/ shoppers with a spending of 200 bucks (Approx.) in Takashimaya department store.
They are of limited quantity of 3000 pcs....Hence, they are most sought after collector item.
So far, l am thankful that I have managed to collect Rose-Chan 2007 goes Chinese Opera (2 pcs) and Rose-chan 2008 Goes Green (1 pc).
A short description of the Rose-chan 2008 is that of the mascot doll tenderly cradling the planet Earth in her hands. This suggests that each one of us holds the power to change the world for the better. :-)
I am patiently waiting for my Rose-Chan 2009...Wonders what the year 2009 might be in store for Rose-Chan mascot doll ^@^
