    I think that the reason why Sailor Pluto dolls had darker skin is because in the original manga, her skin is noticeably darker. For one reason or another the anime (maybe the studio struggled with mixing the colour back then taken into the account how inconsistent the colouring of her skin was, maybe it was laziness, maybe it was a poor attempt to cut time and cost) opted to make her skintone very light

    Great video, Sailor Moon dolls are so extensive it can be confusing as hell to catalogue them all. Additional fun notes! The R season dolls have unique face screenings (which is funny because you have to look really carefully notice the differences between them, but Mars has more narrow eyes, Venus has a more mature looking face, etc) and they all have hollow limbs which make the dolls all very light and their limbs are prone to warping. The goal of producing these I think was to keep the dolls extremely affordable because Japan was in a recession. The oversizedness of the clothing I think was also to help young children play with the dolls because their outfits had a lot of pieces compared to a standard playline doll.
    The talking dolls were just a few centimeters taller than the other Bandai Japan dolls to accommodate the speaker box in their torso.
    The S Season Sailor Team dolls had way more detailed faceups than the R season ones :)
    I still want those Amazones Quartet dolls *_*
    Bobagirl was my gateway into collecting Sailor Moon international dolls back in the day, I used to browse for hours looking at their teeny tiny low res scans of the dolls in their boxes and dream about having more characters and the gorgeous metallic outfits. I fell in love with the Italian dolls and now years later I collect them too.

      While the recession definitely might have played into it (actually this has me wondering if this is why a lot of the dolls for R and S were manufactured in Korea instead of China- a lot of those dolls are notorious for having some of the worst quality issues such as translucent faces and heavily tarnished accessories- R Chibiusa, NQS, Wedding Usagi and the SukiSuki dolls for example were all Korean factory), the hollow limbs are kind of a design mainstay for asian playline dolls, going all the way back to the original Gen 1 Licca-chan in the 70's and still continuing to this day! It's less a budget thing and moreso a design standard across the board for playline dolls in East Asia, a pretty interesting example of divergent evolution between Western and Asian doll design standards. If I have to guess, this likely resulted from the ubiquity of sofubi toys (hollow soft vinyl toys that became popular starting in the 50's) in Japan which are constructed in a very similar way, and also likely because of a preference for simplistic vintage-style doll construction in Japan that isn't really prevalent in the Western doll industry where we tend to prefer more "advanced" types of construction and articulation for playline.
      The limbs tend to have wires inside to provide a type of smooth, limited articulation (I know I've heard that some R dolls lack the wiring but none of mine do, and every doll after R certainly does) which is also probably a reason for the hollowness, though modern japanese playline dolls can also have solid rubber limbs with wires instead of hollow.

      @Tama-Hero ปีที่แล้ว +3

      @@SerenaWhatever Thanks for the additional info! I grew up with Jennies mostly which have more Barbie-esque limbs (since they were at one point Barbies, makes sense) so I didn't realize it was more common for Japanese dolls to be hollow! That and the Bandai-Asia Sailor Moon dolls have click joint knees as well.

    My mom had a few of the 90’s sailor moon dolls but sadly they all got thrown away by my grandma. I actually have quite a few of the sailor moon pullips though (Venus, Mercury and Uranus) they are really nice dolls but 1) the costumes are made from pleather and peel over time 2) the tiaras are attached to the hair by two clips at the end of the tiara bands and its IMPOSSIBLE to actually attach. Overall though a few of them are really cheap to buy compared to most pullips.

    In Germany we had also the Bandai Doll at first. I also remember the Chibi Figures with Houses and the Castle in the Commercials. But later on we got Dolls from the Company Igel. They where not as bad as Irwin but not as cute as Bandai Dolls. The Outfits where way to baggy aswell. I still have Sailor Mercury frm that Line. Igel had also Tuxedo Mask and Queen Berryl as Dolls and a Chibi Moon Dolll with a Plush Body. But no Outer Senjis.

    I've been waiting for this video! I keep looking at the senshi dolls in the background of every video wondering when they'll get their time to shine. I have such a fondness for them, particularly the Irwin pretty face dolls. My favorite Christmas memory was my mom buying every available Sailor Moon fashion doll and presenting them to me in one giant box. I had never seen them in stores and think she got them from connections as a purchaser for retail stores, her job at the time. I remember opening the giant box in the corner of the room and seeing the dark blue packaging holding every one of my treasured Sailor Moon characters. I played with them for years and years and still own and treasure them. They're much worse for age - the dog got to the them, the small pieces were lost to childhood playtime, I had no idea how to care for the hair - but I love them all the same. I would love to purchase them from ebay or something now, but can't quite justify it to myself even though I know it'll get harder every year. I'm so looking forward to seeing yours up close soon!

She once gave them to me for a few days and shortly afterwards we had a falling out and now years later, when I sifted through all my old doll stuff, I actually found Makoto/Sailor Jupiter's shoes and gloves... It's a shame that I don't have the rest of the doll but even more so, that her doll is now incomplete (if she even kept them idk)

    I've been a fan since I was little, and I own 2 dolls. A Sailor Moon my grandma bought me pretty early in the u.s. debut. She asked me if I wanted the wand, tuxedo mask, or sailor moon. I picked Sailor Moon. The second is the Sailor Pluto with the silver outfit I found randomly at a goodwill, sadly her hair was damaged and needed to be cut, but still an amazing find. ( goodwill is amazing for fun finds, once we found most of the vhs's of Sailor Moon there, my mom was nice and bought them all for me, another time I found the Book from Cardcaptors there with all the cards included)

    I had a few of the "pretty face" Irwin Sailor Moon dolls when I was younger. I believe I had Sailor Moon, Sailor Mercury, Sailor Jupiter, and the two pack with Chibi/Mini Moon and Serena. I was not kind to these dolls at all and I remembered drawing on Sailor Moon's face and cutting off all her hair despite the fact that I loved them so much. Their legs would pop off frequently and I kept them naked all the time. As an adult and customizer/collector, I want to hope that someone got ahold of these dolls and fixed them up and they're now lovingly displayed on a shelf somewhere, but it's more likely they're just in a landfill somewhere.

    Excellent Pose Sailor Moon did have bendy wire arms and - if I remember correctly - snap-bend knees (and her hips could rotate a lot!) :)
    Also, worth noting: Irwin had their own molds for the Sailor Moon dolls! Some of them are rereleases of the Bandai America dolls, but they had their own line of "ugly face" or "froggy face" dolls in the mid to late 90s... sometimes you can find a "prototype" with slightly different facial screening (it's a bit, sweeter looking, I guess?), but the original 11" dolls have different facial and body molds, as well as different screening. /Some/ of the 6" dolls are again, identical, but some of them are also unique to Irwin. The earliest "baby face" Irwin dolls from the early 2000s also have a slightly modified body of the old 90s Irwin dolls, with the neck joint modified for the new head sculpt.
    In the two-pack with Chibimoon, some Serena dolls have the crescent moon... others don't. All Serenas have her yellow moon earrings - Serenity's are a metallic gold color.

    first of all, finding your channel has been a gem for me!! I have always loved dolls and all knowing everything I can about my favorite lines or franchises. I also just finished rewatching sailor moon! it was striking how you mentioned giochi preziosi releasing sailor moon toys that were available in japan but not the US, including outfits that were never shown in the series itself. I collect a few toys here and there (from shows/franchises I really love) and recently discovered several hamtaro playsets that were only released in japan! They did have a few in the US, but it was just a fraction of what was made for the franchise as a whole since the show didn't do as well in the US. The ones released within japan & north america were manufactured by epoch (the same company that does calico critters/sylvanian families). However in Italy, giochi preziosi manufactured these playsets/figures and also had these odd one off playsets that were never seen in the animation. I wonder if giochi preziosi gets creative liberty to branch out for these designs? it was interesting how italy had way more releases than the US for japanese toys, which makes me wonder if anime/manga and japan as a whole was more influential or had more demand. the new release of the sailor moon dolls look so cute!! I'd love to see you share a video on them once they're in your possession. I had a few pullips myself (which are stashed someplace at my parents house) and watching your videos makes me want to find them and display them with the rest of my toy collection! this video kept me company while I was getting a bit of work done, thank you!

    I really don't understand why high-heeled shoes on a doll would be deemed "too sexy" for little girls when almost all Barbies came with a pair of High Heels.... and the heels in Sailor Moon were lower!

    I didn't realize Irwin Toys was a Canadian company. I am Canadian, and I recall hearing the name a lot when I was a kid in the 70s and 80s. According to Wikipedia, Irwin went bankrupt in the early 2000s due to increased competition and trade law changes (they had made money distributing big US companies' toys in Canada).

    I had a few of the 6” Irwin “ugly face” dolls when I was a kid. I always thought they were the Bandai ones, but they must be the early irwin ones because of the different shoes. Anyway, I actually love these dolls and I still have them. I didn’t watch sailor moon until I was older, so for a long time they were my only touchpoint for the series. I’ve recently been trying to build up my collection to include the outer senshi and characters like chibi usa and tuxedo mask. The eBay prices actually aren’t terrible for the early 6” dolls for most characters, probably because they’re not as popular lol. The exception is the outer senshi, they’re nearly impossible to find reasonably priced, but I’m trying!

    I am italian and i sadly was too young for the first line of giochi preziosi Dolls but in 2011 they also released a line of mini Dolls,they had molded on tops and gloves but fabric skirts and hair, i still have the Sailor moon One and her hair is in real buns! It's incredibile for the scale, she's like 5 inches tall. I recenty had to change the elastics because they had rotten off. In Italy magical girls Dolls in general have Always been really good and they are usually giochi preziosi or GIG, GIG Dolls usually have incredibly good outfits but kinda ugly baby faces in my opinion. kinda sad i was too poor as a child for a lot of them in the 2000s.

    Thank you for this amazing video! Alot of these dolls I've never seen before, so it was fun to learn about them. Me and my sister had the pretty face Irwin dolls of Sailor Moon and the Inner Scouts. We also had the double pack with casual Serena and Sailor Chibimoon. We played with these dolls so much, so they're not in good condition. XD Sailor Mercury and Chibimoon are my favorite characters, so I'd love to get new dolls of them again.

  • @sailorcat

    Wow, I didn't know there were so many! Especially the musical and live action olls surprised me!
    Interestingly, some of the regular outfits remind me of their musical costumes too, with the extra gold stripes, or Super Sailor Moon's silver skirt.

    I grew up with Sailor Moon and the Swedish dub. As a European, I am pretty sure the dolls that were sold here was the Italian releases. I remember the character cards and the stands were clear with two holes for the feet.
    Getting the dolls are one of my core memories. Mum took us to this toy shop that seemed to have a lot of consignment stuff and they had Sailor Moon dolls. I wanted Moon, but they didn't have her, so I got Venus and my brother got Mercury. They are now both on display in my figure cabinet with the rest of my Sailor Moon collection. ♡

    I never got rid of my frog-face/ugly 12" Sailor Venus and Sailor Jupiter dolls from my childhood, and somehow managed to keep their hair somewhat intact after all these years.
    Another strange fact about the 12" deluxe adventure dolls is that even after they corrected the shoes, ALL of the inner senshi/scouts came with a tiny Crescent Moon wand they could hold.

    this made me remember I used to have a sailor moon doll as a kid. I think I won her on a fair once. I think the doll got lost but i had the clothes for a really long time. I didn't know sailor moon back then which is such a shame ngl.

  • @serenasilvercrest3154
    @serenasilvercrest3154 ปีที่แล้ว

    I love Sailor Moon any videos that talk about her are my fav videos to watch on youtube. I don't have alot of Sailor Moon dolls, I do have 12' Princess Serena, 12" Tuxedo Mask, both 6"Moon and Mask but I don't know were the 6" doll are. In the 2010s I was able to get second hand 6"Princess Serena, both Italian Super Sailor Moon and Chibi Moon, ugly face 12" Moon and Mars, and the new both 30th anniversary Princess Serenity and Super Sailor Moon.

    Wao finally a video we needed long time ago. I love collecting Sailor Moon dolls. I only want to make a point. You showed some dolls in boxes that have a bow with a heart and a logo sticker as giochi preziosi brand dolls but they are Bandai Europe dolls. The Bandai Europe and Asia are like a mix between Giochi and Japanese Bandai dolls. Those dolls were sold by Bandai y México and all latam. Also you forgot to talk about the 17" inches dolls and the Igel germán dolls, anyways thank you so much. I cant wait for more Sailor Moon dolls related videos. 😅😊

    As a sailor moon mega fan who grew up in the early 2000s watching the Dic VHS, this video was sooo nostalgic and made me want to collect sailor moon more! I've always been pretty poor so I never had many dolls but I was gifted a irwin queen beryl and princess serenity dolls, I was in love with them as a kid! I also had a luna sphere that lit up and made noises! I wish collecting sailor moon wasn't so difficult and expensive,I dream of owning some of these one day!
