We don't know the release date, sadly. But I hope it's relatively soon!

It will probably be in the summer. That is when the new Sailor Moon show is going to air. No date on that either unfortunately. I hope they change the tone back to the original Manga, keep Sailor Pluto, and not be afraid to have a lesbian couple in the line up.

Knowing Japan, they'll keep it, but those damn american censors......>:( they're the ones that shouldn't touch it!

Also, "Pending Licensor Approval"? OHHH Bandai!

Yea, I don't get that "Pending Licensor Approval" thing. The figure was first shown during a Sailor Moon anniversary event so obviously was approved then. I doubt Naoko Takeuchi would have allowed it at the event if she wasn't happy with it. Bandai wouldn't be at this stage if they couldn't get the license.

Also, I'm sure Japan will keep Uranus and Neptune as they were, as long as Naoko Takeuchi still wants it that way. As for America, keeping them like that would be good for girls who are questioning their orientation. However, that might not happen.

Let's hope that 'pending licensor approval' placard is just a formality because they don't have a set date, yet. *Crosses fingers* Come on... Sailor Moon deserves a proper action figure release! All the Senshi do.

Are S.H Figuarts figures roughly at the same scale to Figmas (by "roughly" I mean "won't look ludicrously small or comically huge next to")?

I hope they do all the Sailors and a few monsters from the series. Nothing worse than having awesome figures of the main characters and no monsters or enemies to put them against (Figma Puella Magi Madoka Magica girls, every Evangelion figure line ever, I'm looking at YOU).

They are roughly the same size, yeah. I have some tall and some short Figma's so she will fit in nicely.

Slated for an August release.

About damned time for some new news. :D Now we need preorders!

Hopefully with Toys R Us stocking SH Figuarts on their website and in store this may pop up here in the states.

But yes. Definitely need to preorder. And we have plenty of time to do so.

They are? Hmm, wasn't aware. Admittedly I think I've visited the site I think twice over the past six months or so. ;)

If I spot any preorders, I'll throw the link up. Hopefully others will do the same. :)

Well if I miss it on this site, other sites like HLJ and AmiAmi are sure to have it.

And... BBTS's pre-order is up!

I snagged one of those, too. :D I hope this figure's a success and a sign of things to come.

Great, finally, she is up for preorder. I put an order in a BBTS but I will change that over to amiami when she goes up on there. I prefer amiami over BBTS and I have a montly order option there.

For those, like me, waiting for preorders from amiami, I emailed them asking when preorders will go live. They replied saying they can't list it on the English site despite knowing how many people want it. Looks like I will have to shop elsewhere, unless a Japanese member would like to help me out.

hlj and Hobby Search have closed preorders. They sold out in a day, damn. Also, I found the commercial for it. It also shows the two extra faces in the first run.



I'm tempted to get two. One in an action pose and the other on her knees with cry face.

I don't like to preorder because I most likely won't have the money when I need it.

Also, new anime was pushed to next year as opposed to this summer when it was supposed to premiere. That's never a good thing.

Oh god, they even had Kotono Mitsuishi (Sailor Moon's seiyuu) doing a cheesy voiceover! I love it!

I'll probably get this from Amazon (where I get the rest of my expensive Japanese dollies :lol:) if I find it for a reasonable price.

No, not a good thing at all. :oops: I hope it does air. And we get this and the other Senshi too.

MERCURY POWER, MAKE-UP!!!!!

Yay, I'm so glad the other Senshi are being made. Mercury is looking great and she even has her visor and little computer. My favorite is Mars and hopefully she will be next if they do releases as they appeared in the Anime/Manga.
