This I knew, but I bought Doraemon with zero intention of flipping it. I purchased him in earnest because I loved, devoured, the Chinese-dubbed-Japanese series as a kid\u2014and I, the ever nostalgia-mourning millennial, wanted a piece of memorabilia that captured blissful, innocent youth.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In that same vein, I bought a new <a href=\"https:\/\/thisisthelast.com\/\">The Last Line<\/a> earrings just for the music box.
