DESCRIPTION:
Vintage Sailor Moon "Colorful Bag" Special Application Item
Released via the February/March 1993 issues of Nakayoshi Magazine.
This was a special application item available through Nakayoshi magazine, which the Sailor Moon manga was serialized in. This item was available for order in the February/March 1993 issues. This is a mini fabric bag with handles with a stitched on faux leather piece with art of the five Inner Senshi in front of a nighttime city scene! The senshi have simplified uniform colors due to color limitations. This is the only item to feature this art by Naoko Takeuchi from what I can find, the chibi versions of the characters are very cute! The bag is quite small, about the size of a large pencil case.
Furoku are bonus items included in manga magazines, such as Nakayoshi, which Sailor Moon was serialized in from 1991-1997. These items were exclusively available within the magazine and were never sold separately. Many of these items include exclusive art by Naoko Takeuchi that was only featured on these items! There were also occasional special application items released through the magazine. To get these, you needed to purchase the required issues and send the application and payment by mail.
CONDITION:
Brand new in original plastic packaging, no noticeable deterioration but keep in mind this item is over 30 years old.
