Sailor Cosmos (Ver. A) — Banpresto figure

About this Sailor Moon figure

Sailor Cosmos (Ver. A) belongs to the Sailor Moon side of the floor, released under the Q Posket line. It stands about 5.5 in. Nothing about it is kit work: the pose was set at the factory, the paint went on there too, and the only thing left for an owner to do is seat it on the base.

What the listing specifies

Taken from the product listing, trimmed of the sales language:

• Q Posket Sailor Cosmos (ver. A)!
• Standing at approximately 5.5" tall, Sailor Cosmos (ver. A) is seen in her popular pose

Looking after it

Treat the paint as the fragile part. It is thin, it fades under UV faster than a scale figure's does, and it marks if you rub it. Shade plus a soft dry brush is the whole routine.

Where this Banpresto figure sits in the hall

On the Sailor Moon shelf this is the 6th dearest of 28 Banpresto figures, and the shelf as a whole runs $13 to $70. For scale, the deepest shelf in the hall is Dragon Ball with 115 collectable figures on it; a Dragon Ball piece from the same line as this one is built to the same height and finish, which is the quickest way to judge a Banpresto format before committing to it.
