Yes, they are tough to remove, but it's possible. Just very slowly wriggle her foot, a millimeter at a time, gently but firmly, and she'll eventually pop out of the shoe without breaking the strap. (Though if the shoe's rubber/vinyl is stressed due to age or use, it might break----just be really careful.)

She's such a pretty doll---I just wish they didn't make her original outfit so dark! I know it's super dark in the anime, but....I always preferred her in the more accurate lighter true aqua/teal than 'black-teal.' I recently made mine a more accurate 'Visions Mirror' too with a teeny tiny sculpted lady on the side. (Well, hopefully it LOOKS like a little lady!) :laughs:

Thank you for the tip!

T__T mine has her fuku but is missing her gloves and shoes.

I found extra clothes and boots for my naked Sailor Uranus, but poor Neptune was out of luck... I can't find a "new in box" or "mint in box" one for a decent price anywhere, either.....

My plan is to commission someone here to make the outfit. When i have the funds for it that is. :T

Oh my goodness! I remember when those came out! My father use to buy lots of them for me! I have boxes and boxes. He first got me some from Singapore on a business trip. I love those dolls!
