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.
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!

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.
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.
the cd is available and the doll can be pre-ordered:
