Twinkle Dolly Series 2 - Sailor Neptune by Bandai

Recently, I made an order on HotTopic.com for something I have wanted for a long time and finally it was in stock again! Want to know what it is? Stay tuned! Because this post is not about that......hehehe! - When I placed my order it made more sense to actually add something else to my cart worth a certain amount, because I would actually save significant money when doing so and trust me! No one has to pull my arm to purchase something from Hot Topic! My decision was to order a Sailor Moon Twinkle Dolly. In store, I have found the Sailor Scouts, but the Outer Scouts seem to only be online. (The Sailor Scouts can also be found online at Hot Topic's site.) They are chosen at random by the company when ordering online and so there's no way of knowing which one will arrive!

Of all the options I could have had, and there are 6 different options in the series, they sent me my #1 choice! Sailor Neptune! How they knew, I have no idea, but I couldn't be more pleased! She arrived in a cute pink box and wrapped in plastic.

The back of the box shows all the options in the second series:

• Sailor Moon
• Chibi Moon
• Sailor Neptune
• Sailor Uranus
• Sailor Pluto
• Sailor Saturn

This is my first box, so Neptune is the only one I have right now. Like I said before, I have not spotted this second wave in stores, but I do occasionally see the original series which features in the main Sailor Scouts in Hot Topic stores. These are not new and they are not exclusive to Hot Topic. I have found these on other sites that sell Sailor Moon merchandise, as well as on Amazon. On other sites, these are sold individually and not as blind boxes, but they tend to cost a little more. Hot Topic sells these at $10.50 a piece.

Out of the box, she is adorable! Sailor Neptune sits upon her wand and is depicted in a Chibi form. She also has a strap attached to her, so she can be a charm for a phone or something of that sort.

The back is detailed as well, which always pleases me. Nothing says "we're lazy and we don't care" than a company who does not pay attention to the fine detail of their products, so I'm glad to see Bandai did a good job with this. They painted her well and it's obvious they cared. The back detail is just as nice as the front. However, as you can see in the picture above, she has some black printing on the back of her head. The printing is a code and a copyright. It's a bit annoying, but not too distracting. It would have been nice if they could have left that off, but everyone wants credit, right?

Leave all comments below! Hopefully I'll be able to collect the rest of these later on and if I do I will definitely post about them!
