Note: An introduction to the 3 Liccas in the PostPet series is in Momo Girl Licca's profile and like I've said on that page, Momo MANIA Licca is the 3rd PostPet based Licca to hit the scene. She was released in November 2001, is a limited edition and her original price was 20,790 Yen at the PostPet official store (see her official info/pics here), but now the price is half as much (10,395 Yen)? See a a different page from the official site. It has pictures of the doll and all her accessories.
I don't know why there are two prices listed, it's confusing. ^^; I know that originally, when she was released in 2001, she WAS 20,790 Yen. There's a huge difference between $176 and $88! *blink*

She's not available on auction as frequently as Momo Girl Licca (she's pretty hard to get now) and her box is full of cute accessories and extras. Included are 2 shopping bags (one is a pink, seethrough vinyl totebag with a smiley bear face on it and the other, also pink, is sporting the PostPet logo and closes with a string), sunvisor with bear ears, round glasses, lipstick, mobile phone, wristwatch, beautiful golden necklace with a little cross on it adorned with pink stones, Momo teddybear and a phone bag in shape of Momo's head. She has pink earrings.

She's wearing pink sports shoes and a lovely casual outfit also based around the color pink, just like all her accessories are. Pink is the official color of Postpet and its mascot, Momo bear. The sockings with little Momo bears all over are the cutest thing ever! A sweet, sleeping Momo is pictured on her white t-shirt. The belt 'buckle', too, has the shape of Momo's head. She has the most intricate outfit of the Postpet Liccas and more extras than a lot of other Licca dolls out there. In the box are also little pictures of PostPet Liccas and Momo. There's no ID card like in Momo Girl's box, so I'm not sure what number she is, and indeed how many of them were made. However, there is the number 'PPP 159' written on the outside of the box in the bottom right corner. I don't know if that means anything.

Momo Mania Licca has tan skin, very pretty make-up (light pastel green eye-shadow!) and sunkissed hair in light brown. It curls at the shoulders. Her lips and light cheek blush are pink. The eyecolor is brown and one of the highlights in it is pastel green, similar to the eyeshadow tone. Very original!

Eye detailIt still baffles me how incredibly cheap she was on the Yahoo!Japan auction, compared to the original price (if she was $88). Compared to the "other" price ($176), I got her insanely cheap. Muahaha! Never removed from box and everything. Mint. I've seen her go for a lot more on Y!J before and had little hope I'd win my auction. To my knowledge, the doll's price was never this low on Y!J (at least in entire year of 2006).

Now I'd like to finish the series and get the PostPet Licca I'm still missing but she was the 1st one in the lot and is the hardest to get (she was sold out immediately upon release). We'll see!
