Girls Memories, a crane game brand made with the concept of bringing back characters that girls admired from their childhood, will continue with the release of Sailor Uranus & Neptune figures. These figures were announced mid February but they will soon be released this upcoming month. Uranus is planned to be released early in September while Neptune is planned for release in mid-September. Sites for preorders can be found by searching "Sailor Uranus/Neptune Girls Memories" on google/ebay. I'm assuming that we'll be getting more pictures of the figures once the new month begins so I'll try to update this post if so.

I'm really thinking of buying the Neptune figure myself. Like I've mentioned before, on the post regarding the Sailor Pluto figure, I think that these figures compared to their Figuarts counterparts are bit more refined. I say this since there aren't any joints to these figures and due to the fact that their fuku is painted in a matte finish as opposed to a glossy one. Has anyone been buying these figures? Does anyone plan on buying these? What's your opinion of these figures compared to others?

I have all of these figures that have been out so far, and I love them because they're cheap but great quality and pretty big. For something less than $20 they're really high quality so I've been collecting them. If you can't afford Figuarts or the ZERO figures, these are definitely a great alternative. Plus I prefer static figures anyway (I never know what to do with my Figuarts).

Yeah I agree that they're a great alternative to the Figuarts and the ZERO figures and that their quality is good for their price point. I'm not sure how fragile these figures are but I bought the first SM Figuarts and I remember trying to assemble the figure and being afraid that I would break something. I did end up breaking the stand. LOL Seeing as how these are basically a mold one doesn't really have to worry about that. Where have you been ordering yours from Mercury?

Since they're crane game prizes, they don't show up in the usual international sites. HobbyLink Japan sometimes have them in limited quantities but it's really difficult to order because they're usually sold out within hours of being put up. I've missed out twice even with them notifying me when they're back in stock. So I've been buying them directly from Yahoo Japan Auctions, where there are more of them, and using From Japan - a deputy site - to buy them (since YJA is Japan's version of eBay and basically doesn't allow international buyers).

I want Uranus so badly!

Yeah I just checked them out and they're not taking any orders. I've seen some preordes on ebay but some sellers are selling them a bit high. I've yet to look around for the figure. I'll do some research and let everyone know what I find. By the way, what deputy service do you use Mercury, if you don't mind me asking?

I guess I've gotten spoiled by the figuarts. I don't really feel like obtaining them, though they are cute.
