Sailor Moon as Bandai’s Excellent Doll in the middle size, made in Japan in 1994 and still unopened in her original window box, about 45 cm (17.7 in) tall, kept in a collection.
The Piece
Naoko Takeuchi’s Sailor Moon became a national craze within months of its 1992 broadcast, and Bandai answered with a line of dolls for older fans as well as children. The Excellent Doll series was the deluxe tier: taller, better finished, with rooted hair and fabric costumes.
This is the M, or middle, size of Usagi Tsukino as Sailor Moon. Her long golden twin tails fall to her knees from their round buns, and she wears the sailor fuku with its pink bow and heart brooch, blue skirt, long white gloves and red boots, her face printed with the large blue eyes of the series.
She is still sealed in her pink and black window box, printed on the back and sides with the Sailor Guardians and the accessories of the range. The box stands about 45 cm (17.7 in) tall and is marked made in Japan.
