Sailor Venus and Artemis
My 4th Sailor Senshii...
Sailor Venus was the first Sailor Senshi to be awakened by the moon cats, one year before Sailor Moon, but she was the last Senshi to appear in the show's first season. Her civilian identity was Minako Aino, or Mina in the English dub. She met Artemis when she was 13 years old.

The Usual Sailor Senshii Box - Wrapped in bright color combinations of yellow, and pink with a dash of orange.
See, we have 3 more faceplates aside from the default attached to venus: Mad, Serious and Gay - i think. And 4 pairs of hands aside from the original open ones that are defaultly attached to Sailor Venus.
And a red-framed mask attached to her extra bangs, and a hand that shows her holding the mask for an "I remove the mask for you to know who I am thing" and Artemis, her white male neko.
Sailor Venus - Front - So, what did I actually noticed at first upon helding it with my hand was it was the joints was and articulation was loose. Not as a bootleg loose, but a little much loose. I had encountered this before in Sailor Mars comparing it to the first two (Moon and Mercury). And I found a chip in the right leg which yes, got me a little furious.
Let's Strike a Pose - Next is the crappy paint job that was done. Yes, it's crappy - crappier than Mars and hoping Jupiter has a better paint job than this.
Signature Pose with Mask - now striking a pose with the mask attached is hard, well close enough. And one thing though, thankfully this one has her neck longer unlike Mars. Since Venus and Mars has the same straight hair - different in color - it is most likely they should be using the same structure but thankfully they are not. What I didn't like about Mars is the she loses her neck when she poses but this one it's much better.
Mask removing - Well, it's about time she removes that mask and shows her cute face. And yes, this one lacks gimmicks. Just like Mars who doesn't have a bow - this one has nothing to show you either except for Artemis and her mask.
Now, since all the comment I made was good enough to say this is an Overrun or a Bootleg - Im including this here as proof it is bought in Hong Kong-
A Choking Hazard-Warning thingy label-
And a Tomopop sticker- But I guess it won't prove anything but I can feel it that this is not what I think it is.
And just to add more scores to it- She is Photogenic.
