Here is my best attempt at the collection of the dolls. The North American dolls were first made by Bandai in 1995. After that, Irwin (Canadian company) got the rights. They continued with the same face mold until 2000 when in the USA they released dolls in yellow packaging. Info and Pictures from http://shoujodolls.com/index.php/en/blogs/129-story-sailor-moon-dolls-guide-in-q-a and http://moondusted.blogspot.com/2011/03/merchandise-2.html

ASIA/EUROPE
 Even though some collectors confuse them with Japanese dolls, they’re different. Japanese Sailor Team dolls have hollow bodies with limited posing options. Bandai Asia, Hong Kong and Europe use a solid body  with twist-and –turn waist and wired legs. Hair is smoother – and inaccurate: Venus has a ponytail, Neptune has straight hair and Mars’s hair is brown. The Sailor Moon dolls were made by Bandai Japan or by a subsidiary. The Bandai Asia and Bandai Europe dolls were the same but the boxes were different. This was around 1994-1997.


CANCELLED DOLLS

Tuxedo Mask was the back of the Moon Cycle toy box from Bandai America. He was not released by Bandai America but by Irwin, unknown if same doll mold or clothes.

A prototype of Sailor Saturn 5" doll from Irwin never mass produced but this prototype was sold on eBay.


Irwin made these prototypes of the Amazon Quartet but they never moved from this phase because of little interest in these characters.
