I want that Jupiter one so bad! D:

AHHHHH JUPITER'S LOOKS AWESOMEEEEEEEEEE <3<3<3<3<3 I am SO SO SO pumped that they're actually sticking with this and doing everyone!!!!!!!

Minako!

I am SO excited about all of these! I have pre-ordered Sailor Moon and Mercury already. In a way I'm glad the release dates are spread out so I can save haha!

Mars now available to pre-order at JList.

OMGGGGGG. *fangirling*

 

So I received my sailor moon figure a couple minutes ago. Just some thoughts regarding the figure: Some of the parts were a little hard to change especially the different faces. I honestly think if you're the person to play with the figure regularly that damage might occur to the different parts. The hands where a lot easier to deal with but I think with regular use that they might become damaged. I also feel if you regularly handle to figure itself that there's a chance the pain on the figure might come off at some point in an area that's used frequently llike the joints. That aside the figure is really fun to play with and display. I couldn't help but try to figure what poses would look best on here as you can see I tried my best. LOL

 Now I'm questioning if I should get every figure that comes out or if I should just stick with this one. I've already pre-ordered Mercury.

Thanks for sharing photos of her! I have mine preordered on Amazon, I can't wait to get it.

No problem Brit.
If you've collected figures before I'm sure you'll love this one and even if you haven't the fact that it's Sailor Moon just makes one love the figure. LOL

I like the nice little shimmer to the paint. And, of course, I adore that they included Luna. Minako totally better come with Artemis.

I want them ALL. I have pre-ordered Sailor Moon and Mercury, probably gonna take forever to ship to me tho. =/

Wow, she looks great in person! I'm really happy with the pictures that I'm seeing of these poseable figures.

Ooh, I would really like to save up for at least a Venus and Mercury one. Eventually I would like them all because I'm greedy like that.

I ordered Moon from CD Japan with my second paycheck (it was one of the few sites still open for preorder at a reasonable price) and she still hasn't arrived yet.  
Its cutting them some slack considering the preorders closed just mere days after I placed my order and the number of preorders site like that must've been getting had to have been staggering, but I'm still going to shoot them an email.

All the other senshi I plan to get though Amazon US where it will be cheaper, unless it has a special bonus like how Moon did.

SailorCardKnight, I also pre-ordered from CD Japan and whilst the listing said could be 1-2 weeks before shipping, it's been like 3 weeks now. So I emailed them and they said they were having problems, she might not be in stock until September 13th. However, I have now received a shipping confirmation email? So I'm not sure what to think. Already ordered Mercury with them too, so hope things are going to go smoothly. =/

I doubled checked the confirmation emails they sent me after I first placed my order, one of which said the ship date was the 31st (today). So i'm going to hold of on sending my email until after today if I still don't hear from them.

While its actually my first time ordering from them, these guys have been around for as long as I have been using the net (10+ years), and I know many people who have ordered from them without issue. I'm sure it must be somekind of issue involving the sheer amount of preorders they got, or someone somewhere made a really bad goof. Hopfully by you getting you shipping notice it means they finally got things sorted out and they just shipped yours.

When did you place your order btw? I ordered mine on July 31st.

I ordered July 4th. They apologised and said they just didn't have the stock in time to meet the demand. I know they're reputable, so that's why I'm a bit annoyed they took so many pre-orders when they can't deliver. They offered me a refund and the new shipping date in September, but like I said I literally received a shipping confirmation email the day after. So I'm gonna wait til Monday and then see if I can track it so confirm she's really on her way..! <3

The 4th? Oh boy. By you ordering a month earlier than I did, and with you having issues, that doesn't sound promising for me. I'm still hoping it was just some rare miscommunication fluke, error or something.

I really don't mind waiting, I just don't like not knowing whats going on. I especially don't like not getting a shipping notice, so I have an idea when to expect my package. With these summer thunderstorms as of late, I really don't want my packages stuck out in the rain.

Anyways, best of luck with your order, and if it is indeed on its way, hopefully this means mine will be soon.

Aaaaaaand before I sent them a message, they sent me one first instead: A notice that it has been delayed until mid September. Lovely. *sigh* Well, at least I got an idea of whats going on with my own order now.

Oh, that's not so good! I'll need to check my tracking number, see what I can find out.

Its possible that they got a batch of figures in. They where probably going down the list of who hasn't gotten one yet, and because you ordered earlier, your getting yours first.

That's what I'm betting on anyways, but I'm still curious to know if yours has been shipped yet. Hope it has.

Ok, I checked and it seems to be on its way! Still in Tokyo but making progress. =p

Just pre-ordered Mars!

Took long enough but I finally got mine today. As exciting as it is and as awsome as it looks, I had a few issues with it. While I was trying to put her into her iconic pose that she does at the end of her speech, her left arm kept wanting to pop off. Even when I try putting her in some other dynamic pose, it kept wanting to do this. Kinda annoying really. Has anyone else had this issue with figuarts figures? Then as Roro said, the faces are really difficult to change, especially when compared to a figma. (I own a figma figure of Homura from Madoka Magica.)

Aside from these issues, I'm still going to get the rest of the Sailor Senshi. The problem now is, finding space in my cabinet of other collectables. Lol.



And have an image of Moon Princess meets Moon Princess.

YES RIDE PRINCESS LUNA. YESSSS.

I almost forgot to add, its about roughly the same size as the Irwin toy 6" mini dolls. For those who want an idea of what the size of them is like.



Same pose as the other pic (as I kinda liked it and didn't feel like changing it again right away), but this is for size comparison anyways.
