A little earlier than expected, but I couldn’t resist sharing some information about the latest two pieces of merchandise to be released in celebration of Sailor Moon’s 20th anniversary this year ~
Transformation Compact Mirror Gashapon
Available for pre-order through Premium Bandai, there are five transformation compact mirror gashapon to choose from:
- Transformation Brooch
- Crystal Star Brooch
- Cosmic Heart Compact
- Crisis Moon Compact
- Chibimoon Compact
Each costs 300 yen, approximately $3 USD. If you live outside of Japan, you can pre-order the set at JList for $22 USD.
The flyer also mentions that the new anime is coming THIS winter, to be broadcast on NicoNico Douga, with theme music by Momoiro Clover Z!
S.H. Figuarts ZERO Sailor Moon
This 1/8th scale PVC figure is based off of the VOLKS line from the 1990s, when Sailor Moon reached the height of its popularity. Unlike the other line of figurines in the S.H. Figurarts series, ZERO Sailor Moon is not poseable. This is available for pre-order at S.H. Figuarts for a retail price of 8800 yen (roughly $90 USD). If you live outside of Japan, you can pre-order it for $110 at JList.
You guys are reporting that the SHFiguarts Zero Moon isn’t posable, but Jlist is reporting she is :s
Replying to myself, like a dweeb. I hope Jlist changes the listing. I originally wanted it because I thought it was going to be posable, but now that I know she isn’t I’m probably going to pass.
Hi I just tried using the jlist link that you supplied for the Transformation Compact Mirror Gashapon. When I click it, it says that the page is unavailable. Is there another place where I can purchase/pre-order this? I found something similar on Amazon but they wanted almost $100 for it.
Hi there! Unfortunately, it seems that JLIST is no longer stocking this item. It was a very limited edition run, and you can no longer buy it directly from the original vendors anymore. Your best bet to get this might be either eBay or Amazon, and the prices will likely be inflated. You could also ask Tiff of sailormooncollectibles.com – but I checked out her page on the same item, and there’s no additional information. Sorry I can’t be of more help! :(
