The Outer Guardians

Man this is such an amazing looking set, Part of me doesn't wanna take 'em out of the box (but I will).

[thrifty-dolls]

Repainting isn't my strong suit, but I'm satisfied with the results.

[sunflourishing-deactivated20240]

just bought my dream doll that i’ve wanted for 18 years for a relatively low price. it was no big deal

(it was, in fact, a big fucking deal)

[sunflourishing-deactivated20240]

these are the listing images, or at least the ones i thought were worth sharing.

near as i can tell, she is complete, though i can’t tell if her headband (which replicates the pearl feathery barrettes she has in the anime) is included, but i found another picture online of this same doll and this accessory appears to be packaged behind her head. so it’s possible i just can’t see it from these images.

being that she was opened made her less expensive than an MiB doll, but there was also heavy sun bleaching on the back of the box.

which… i know i don’t talk about my own dolls too often on tumblr, but i debox literally Everything. there are only 3 things in my entire collection that i kept in box: my final fantasy xiii lightning farron figure (she’s actually been reboxed. the rubber is deteriorating, so i want to protect her), my final fantasy viii siren figure (just because i have no clue how i’d pose her with her v-waist), and my bandai US ‘95 moon stick (for easy display purposes).

so like, this listing was practically made for me in specific.

i only spent $230 USD, which is what i used to see her go for in the early 2000′s. (for the uninitiated: this doll in 2023 usually goes for $400-900)

i’m a terribly lucky girl, and luckier still that after 30 years of poverty i can afford shit like this.

[sunflourishing-deactivated20240]

[sunflourishing-deactivated20240]

IT SHIPPED THANK YOU PANDOR

Arriving May 30… Fingers crossed it comes sooner

[pandorkful-dolls]

YAAAAAAY!!! My good vibes worked!!! \o/

[sunflourishing-deactivated20240]

She’s in my city, a 30 minute car ride away 🥺 I’ll have her tomorrow after work, after 18 years 😭

[sunflourishing-deactivated20240]

She’s mine.

[sunflourishing-deactivated20240]

sorry i said that with such a weird finality im normal i promise (they lied)

anyway her accessories are on (headband included!), her hair is retied (with the original ties!) and partially boil-washed, her split ends have been trimmed, and she has her own stand. and my god, she is gorgeous.

my only gripe at all is that her hands are entirely flat so you cant make her hold her wand (i had to affix it to her hand with a twist tie–icky but necessary), and her boot stripe is more magenta than pink. it kind of clashes.

that, and just as i suspected, bandai japan gloves are horrid. idk what irwin were smoking in 1997 when they made the revised gloves design, but they hit gold.

collection status, btw :) i’m at the stage where i’m mostly collecting books and blu-rays, but i do plan on completing my 6“ north american doll collection.

i’m missing

- 6″ professor tomoe - 6″ sailor pluto - 6″ sailor uranus - 6″ sailor neptune - 6″ princess serenity - 6″ black lady - 6″ prince demande - 6″ esmeraude

(i don’t care much about 6″ pajamas usagi or 6″ super sailor moon)

i also want the new styledolls from sailor moon eternal, but waiting on a domestic release of most of them

[pandorkful-dolls]

Licca-chan Happy Lemonade Doll

[glitt3rcritt3r]

Ever since I saw this Barbie fashionista, I knew I had to put her in my old sailor moon doll outfit I had, but I could never find one that had symmetrical hair buns till yesterday at Marshall’s n_n I had to make some stuff that I was missing, but I still think she turned out super cute! I had found a winx doll while thrifting a while ago to turn into sailor moon since she already had the long hair, spindly limbs, and was jointed, but now I might make her into princess serenity or something 😅 If anyone knows what made to move would be a good body donor for her, please let me know n_n
