Anyone seeing the original North American Sailor Moon 12 inch doll release had the same response, "Why doesn't she have a nose?" For reasons that remain a mystery, rather than using their existing molds, Bandai/Irwin created new "stylized" molds that went beyond unattractive looking to achieve downright bizarre. Unsurprisingly, the original release sold poorly and was soon clearanced, with future releases often available only through specialty shops and expensive mail order catalogs. However, perhaps due to the excellent sales of the Sailor Moon movies, Irwin has decided to try again. The 2000 line dolls feature all new head and body molds, and darling anime faces with noses. They also feature a few touches not previously available in ANY Sailor Moon line- accurate transformation wands with the emblem of the individual Scout on them and correct earring designs.
