I’m sorry Alice, I don’t have any information about this. The fact is that my informations are only based on observation and intuition, so what I state may be wrong.

Happy New Year to you .

Since you look very informed about the Crystal Figuarts, do you have any idea of where and when they will release Tuxedo Mask?

You’re welcome Denis .

(Then in the future, we’ll have to see if I’m right, that is to say if Neptune is released before Pluto, but this is not really important. Pluto will come out, this is the only thing we are sure of.)

Thanks Aurélia for clearing that out for me, i was jjust confused that why was that on these zero figures cuz they have been really good in the order like in the manga or anime, so it was a little confusing for me to why Uranus before Pluto or Chibi moon , thanyou so much for clearing that out for me

About the Figuarts Zero representing the Inner Senshi in their 90’s designs, their production order was 1) Moon – 2) Mercury – 3) Venus – 4) Mars – 5) Jupiter. As you can see, Denis, the release dates of the figures do not always respect the order of appearance of each Senshi in the original works. Mars and Jupiter were the last ones to be released, some months after Venus… But I have to say, also, that Mars and Jupiter’s figures were made in a bigger scale than the three previous ones. I don’t know why, since the five of them are part of the same collection.

So as you can see, Denis, it’s absolutely not unusual that the order of appearance of the Senshi in the manga/animated series is not (always) that of their figures.

We just have to be patient until our dear Pluto appears in her beautiful Crystal Figuarts Zero form . And though I have written a few hours ago that I was not really fond of these Crystal Figuarts, I wonder if I’m not going to buy Pluto…

- Bandai Tamashii Nations – Tamashii Buddies (only Saturn and Pluto, the others ones can easily be found on Google) : http://www.tiendasaintseiya.com/4261-thickbox_default/sailor-moon-tamashii-buddies-sailor-pluto.jpg . I have Mercury and Jupiter, and I think I’ll buy Pluto.

The Crystal Figuarts Zero look great, but I prefer the Figuarts Zero conceived from the 90’s designs, because each Inner Senshi shows her powers (Mercuy’s water and Mars’ fire are wonderful). I own them all (I mean, the “90’s” Figuarts Zero) ! As for the Crystal Figuarts Zero, I find them gorgeous but too much “polished”, too much “plastic”, and since they are made after the Crystal designs, I find the girls are too thin, I don’t like their long, almost skeletic legs. So yes, for me they are really pretty, but the texture and the anatomy of the girls are their only defaults.

Like you, I am disappointed to see that Uranus is shown and released before Pluto (who is my favourite Senshi). But I think there is an explanation : Uranus and Neptune are a duet, as are Pluto and Saturn. So, I guess Neptune will be released just after Uranus. Then will come Pluto, and then, Saturn. I think they’ll do the same that they did with the Bandai Tamashii Nations – Tamashii Buddies : Uranus and Neptune were released before Pluto and Saturn. Yes, I really think they consider that the four of them can be divided into two duets. And since Saturn is the last Senshi to appear in the manga and animated series, and the most mysterious one (with Pluto :D), I guess this is a normal thing that all of her figures are the last ones to be revealed and released, and that, following this logic, Pluto’s figures are released just before Saturn’s ones.

Hope my explanation will help you .
