SERIOUS BUYERS ONLY PLEASE!  Thanks. As much as it pains me, recent situations have forced me to sell collectibles from my personal collection. I've avoided it as long as possible, but I've finally decided it's time to sell some of my Sailor Moon items. This is an impossible to find lot of the 6 inch Sailor Moon Dolls produced by Bandai and Irwin Toys from 1995-1998. Given how rare most of these dolls are and the fact there are 27 total,  I think my asking price is quite fair. For those who may not know,  when the first set of dolls were made for the North American market in 1995 BANDAI was responsible for them. They also produced the 11.5 inch counterparts as well as bringing over a few of the cosplay accessories from the first season. However, for reasons that aren't clear to me, IRWIN TOYS ended up getting the property and continued the line making the next 3 sets for this line up until 1998. What's more while the second set ( Irwin's first ) was released across North America (though mostly in specialtiy shops) , the last two sets were not. They were released in much lower quantities and mainly in Canada, which made them virtually impossible to find in the US, unless you lived in the North East or on the West Coast ( even then they were scarce ). The Sets are as followsSeries 1 (Bandai) : Sailor Moon                                Sailor Mercury                                 Sailor Mars                                 Sailor Jupiter                                 Sailor Venus                                Queen BerylSeries 2 (Irwin)    : Rubeus                                Emerald                                Prince Diamond                                Wicked Lady                                Princess Serenity                                Prince DarienSeries 3 (Irwin)    : Sailor Moon                                 Tuxedo Mask                                Rini                                Sailor Mercury                                Sailor Mars                                Sailor Jupiter                                Sailor VenusSeries 4 (Irwin)    : Sailor Pluto                                Sailor Neptune                                Sailor Uranus                                Super Sailor Moon                                Kaori Night                                Professor Tomoe                                As far as I know this is the entire release. It took me roughly 10 years to comeplete this set. This is for all 25 Dolls that were made for the 6 inch line. Not only that you will get 2 EXTREMELY RARE versions of Mars and Venus wearing boots like Moon and Mercury instead of heels. If you look at the original box art for Series 1 you'll see that the original box picture shows all 5 senshi with the same boots only painted to match their colors. Now most collectors know that the product picture on packaging doesn't always resemble the actual item you will get. Well apparently a small amount of these earlier versions of the  dolls were released before they were corrected. I've included pictures so you can see what I mean. There is also a Jupiter like this that I've only seen one time here on ebay, but clearly I didn't win it or it would be in the lot. Every one of these Dolls are Mint in Box and have never been opened. The boxes do have some wear, but overall they are in great shape.  This is a great way for collectors and fans to get this entire series all at once.  DON'T LET THIS CHANCE PASS YOU BY!
