It's funny to think that they started out as dolls pictured in a comic strip in vintage women's magazines back in the 1900's. The first style of Kewpie was depicted in the early 1900's Ladies Home Journal and Woman's Companion, as a symbol of innocence and love. The condition of these Kewpie dolls is well preserved for their age with a small crack in the bottom of the sitting one but otherwise shows well preserved condition. The measurements of these dolls range from 1 7/8" x 1 1/8" x 1 1/8" to 5 1/4". The collective weight of this collection is 6oz
