Sailor Moon S. H. Figuarts - Crying and winking face

A lot of new pictures of the upcoming Sailor Moon S. H. Figuarts figure by Bandai have surfaced. The figure is featured in the June issue of Dengeki Hobby Magazine’s. Sailor Moon Collectibles has been sharing many new pictures of the figure as they come in on their web site and Facebook page.

The faces we’ve seen to date include a normal Sailor Moon face, a crying face and a winking face. The normal face is seen with and without a Tiara, but since only three faces are mentioned on the web site that may indicate that the Tiara is removable from the one face, or from all of them. It may come attached to the front piece of hair based on my best guess at how the faces are held in place, but this is just speculation.

Sailor Moon S. H. Figuarts figure by Bandai - Moon Tiara Action

Moon Tiara Action! These new photos of Bandai’s Sailor Moon figure which will be released in August give us a first look at the Tiara in action! Notice also that Sailor Moon in this pose does not have her Tiara on her forehead, as this is a swappable face. Along with three new photos the Tamashii site also has an English blurb about the toys which reveals that there will be two Moon Sticks, one with the Silver Crystal and one without.

S.H.Figuarts Sailor Moon’s Posability & Articulation!

Intense action scenes highlight Sailor Moon’s image as a “Beautiful Soldier”.
The latest S.H.Figuarts articulation technology lets you fully enjoy the world of Sailor Moon.
You can recreate iconic action scenes of Sailor Moon from memory with your very own hands.
That is one of the greatest attractions of playing with action figures.
Part of the hair has been rendered with clear parts for enhanced realism.
S.H.Figuarts Sailor Moon will shine not only as an articulated action figure but as an elegant display piece.
A full array of interchangeable faces and hands in the set help reproduce dynamic anime scenes.
Also, 2 types of Moon Sticks (with/without Silver Crystal), and effect parts for “Moon Tiara Action” will expand the playability of “S.H.Figuarts Sailor Moon”.

Next time, we will be able to introduce not only serious facial expressions but also comical expressions of Sailor Moon.
Stay tuned!

Sailor Moon - S. H. Figuarts figure

Sailor Moon Channel, the official Sailor Moon site, and Tamashii Nations have a new look at the Sailor Moon S.H. Figuarts figure from Bandai. This figure, made to commemorate Sailor Moon’s 20th Anniversary, is set to go on sale in August and comes with a small Luna figure. We last saw these figures at Bandai’s trade show last year. These new images show Sailor Moon’s moon stick which was not previously seen.

The figure has an MSRP of 4,410 Japanese Yen which is about $45 US, though North American fans can probably expect to pay a bit more of a premium to ship or buy an import of this toy. It will measure 14 centimetres, roughly 5.5″.

Hello Sailor Scouts - Sailor Moon/Hello Kitty t-shirt at ShirtPunch

This neat looking “Hello Sailor Scouts” t-shirt, crossing the worlds of Sailor Moon and Hello Kitty, is available at ShirtPunch today, April 9th, from midnight to midnight EST. Pick it up in the next 24 hours for $10 because after that it’s gone forever!

The characters on this shirt, obvious parodies of Sailor Moon and Sailor Chibi Moon, are named Sailor Meow and Sailor Mini Meow! Sailor Meow is shown with the Spiral Heart Moon Rod, which makes sense given this is the item Sailor Moon has when Sailor Chibi Moon first appears. To be a bit nitpicky Sailor Meow’s broach and tiara are consistent with earlier designs as neither of these items coexisted with the Spiral Heart Moon Rod or the presence of Sailor Chibi Moon. This version of Sailor Moon would have had a heart shaped broach and a crescent moon on her tiara. Sailor Mini Meow’s Pink Moon Stick is the one that Sailor Chibi Moon had in her Sailor Moon S form, prior to her transformation into Super Sailor Chibi Moon, so that is consistent as well.

The shirt is designed by Jelly Soup Studios. You can check out her web site Jelly’s Sketchbook for more of her art.

3D Render of a new Sailor Moon figure from China's ACG Comic Expo

New figures of Sailor Moon and the rest of the nine Sailor Soldiers will be available in May from Legend Studio.

New Sailor Moon S figures from ACG Comic Expo

Sailor Moon Collectibles reports that a few pictures from the ACG Comic Expo in Guangzhou, China from December have surfaced. These pictures show that there will be the nine figures of Sailor Moon, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Venus, Pluto, Uranus, Neptune and Saturn. Unfortunately we just get cutouts with no real indication of what the toys would look like for most of the girls but we get a bit more of a look at Sailor Moon herself. There are some CG renders of the Sailor Moon figure and it’s individual parts which gives us a good idea of what the finished product might look like. We see for example that the figure will have a number of swappable faces and by seeing all the pieces we can get a good idea of the articulation the final product might have.
