Roger dolls from Japan

This just in: More Roger merch exists today from Japan.


The thing is, Roger is loved in other countries a lot more than he is where I come from. In America, he is well known, but that is about it. But in Japan, like Oswald and Stitch, he is well loved.


Here is an example. The Takara Tomi Roger doll.




You may notice that it's a smaller size than most Roger plushes, but in my opinion, it's the most based off of the character. Things from the tie to the one eye being smaller than the other are perfectly replicated.

Then there is this talking doll from the 80's that I found.




It's one of the more accurate Rogers that I have seen, from the color of the nose to the eyes to everything else. It talks, and it was voiced by the voice of Roger in Japan.

If you are interested in buying them, here are the links on Ebay.

Bunnyfriend, sorry for not telling you about this, but it was important enough to post.

Again, the link where you can find Gary Wolf’s “Ask Me Anything” is:
