Jaco Doll

It appears that the Japanese have made a Jaco Doll. Cool. http://www10.ocn.ne.jp/~jaco/topics/jaco_doll/index.htm

Listening To: Jaco

Re: Jaco Doll

Interesting. And a bit strange, at least at first look. I admit, I probably might want to buy one, just because, and I do applaud Japan's continued love for Jaco.

Wonder if it starts moving when you play one of his tunes. :o)

BTW Jaco's eyes weren't blue, they were beautiful green-ish.

Re: Jaco Doll

Hahaaaaa wat a cool doll! Now the question is: is it a bootleg doll or a legitimate doll?

Re: Jaco Doll

Wow, well I have to admit too that the thought have crossed my mind..having Lucy, James Dean and even Indiana Jones in the house.
I want a doll too, and I want Jaco!

But as JJ says, is this a legimate one?

Re: Jaco Doll

Well, this is what my friend could "give" me.

It's a " After the death 20th anniversary commemoration" as John already wrote. It will be released during dec 2007 together with an "Early Years Recordings" cd. It says it has been OK by "the family" and will be sold in all the toy- and cdstores in Japan.
It will also be sold through Amazon according to the text but it doesn't say if it'r worldwide or only in Japan
More information about this will be shown at the same page.

Not so much more info than in Johns post, but at least some info about more info to come lol.
And it seems it is an legitimate doll after all.

Re: Jaco Doll

You guys are too funny, thanks for the chuckles.

Maybe the new CD release referred to with this blue-eyed "official" doll, is the 1978 live performance at the Players Club, then a racquetball court club in Oakland Park (as in Jaco Park), which Pete Trias (friend, guitarist, teacher) recorded, and had given to Rich Franks, Jaco's childhood friend, drummer who played an important part in Jaco's bass direction. {phew}

In that case, this awesome recording of Jaco, Alex Darqui, and Rich should be a legal product by JPI, where the 4 kids, the corp, and above mentioned friends of Jaco's are being honored and rewarded.

We are in for a treat!
