Look what I found!

Remember when I bought my beloved Pluto doll on eBay a few weeks ago and mentioned that all I needed was to find a decently priced Neptune to complete my Sailor Senshi doll collection? (Well, and Saturn, but she's REALLY rare -- I didn't even know a North American one existed until I saw one for sale a couple of weeks ago.) Well, I found one, with bonus Serena/Usagi and Chibi/Minimoon! Can you believe I got all three dolls for $50? Yeah, the boxes are in crappy condition, and I have no real use for the two other dolls -- I've already put them up for sale again, so maybe I'll make some of that money back -- but I'm almost as happy to have the Neptune doll as I was Pluto.

And since the box was in such bad condition, I had no hesitation in taking her out. Uranus was very happy about that! They've decided to join my Pluto collection for now... Maybe it'll become an Outers collection instead.



Poor Pluto, though... She's still stuck in her box. I just can't make up my mind whether to take her out or not!

I also want to point out the middle plushie, also a pretty lucky find. I don't think the person selling it knew what he had, since he listed her as Sailor Mercury, but she's an Irwin plushie from 2000 and apparently quite rare since she's the only one I've ever seen for sale. (Though I knew they had done Inner plushies, I didn't even know Irwin had made a Sailor Pluto plushie.) I got her for only $16, which I thought was a pretty good deal! BTW, the plushie to the left of her is the Bandai (Japanese) one I mentioned before and the one on the right is the one put out from Great Entertainment. I've also got my eye on another vintage Pluto plushie but she's a bit on the expensive side ($30) and doesn't have the right color fuku, so I don't know. (One of the major annoyances of being a Pluto collector is that there's a lot of official merchandise out there that uses the wrong colors for her for some reason. I guess they didn't think black was marketable enough? On the plus side, it does make me less tempted to buy those items, saving me some money.)
