Vintage Sailor Moon soft vinyl figurine orange blue, rare old anime

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This figurine depicts a character from the iconic Sailor Moon franchise, created in a "busakawa" style (cute and expressive, typical of Japanese merchandise from the 1990s). The item is molded from soft vinyl, as indicated by the keywords, and has a slightly flexible, matte appearance. The figurine shows the character dressed in an orange sailor-collared costume, adorned with a large dark blue bow on the chest, a matching pleated skirt, and a tiara with an orange cabochon at the center of the forehead. The hair is long, voluminous, and bright yellow, styled in thick strands, a visual signature of the series' heroines.

The face displays a joyful and dynamic expression, with large, wide-open blue eyes, a red smiling mouth, and slightly rosy cheeks. The arms are raised on each side in an energetic pose, with open hands. The finish reveals some molding marks and simplified details, characteristic of soft vinyl figurines from this era.

The paint shows a strong contrast between the bright colors of the costume (orange, blue, white) and the light complexion of the face and arms. There is also a thick fringe and a central ornament that evokes magical transformation, a key element of the Sailor Moon universe. The figurine is shown standing, without a visible base on the visible side, and the back is not observable in the photo.

The surface shows some small signs of wear and micro-scratches visible on the light part of the arms, typical of an old, handled item. No logo, brand, or inscription is visible on the photographed front face. This item is typical of so-called "retro" or "vintage" Japanese merchandise, often sought after for its naive and colorful style.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. Some signs of wear and handling visible on the surface, including micro-scratches and slight marks on the arms. The paint retains its vibrant colors on the visible side.
