S.H. Figuarts Sailor Moon

[theshape6]

My girlfriend finally got herself Mercury and Mars recently while posing them for her I discovered Mercury's hair seems to be closer to her shoulder line so her head movement is restricted quite abit. Not sure if its a short joint problem or such, positive it's a official too

Also with Mercury the shoulder joint likes to pop out with every move which makes posing her quite a task

Honestly though Mercury's hair is fine though, but my main problem is that Mar's neck is too short, I broke her neck trying to make it longer and had to get another figure, but in the prototype pictures her neck is as long as sailor Mercury's and Sailor Moon. It just makes her look short compared to the other ones.

I read that they are going to re-release Sailor Moon in June?

 

[TimespliTT]

looks that way, several toy site are reporting that a rerelease is happening, it is up on BBTS.

I bought 2 first release sailor moons from AnimeIsland but they only shipped me one. i have contacted them like 4 times since the original purchase. my order says partially shipped yet they wont update it or update me on the situation. is there anywhere i can take this further? they have taken my money and not given me my full order.
can anyone give me advice on what to do here?

Here are some more quick pictures of Mercury's head

Going by what I saw of the proto they've made the back of her hair lower down to her shoulders which is just restricting the head movement sadly

Hey Ropen, What did you do with the broken Sailor Mars? If you have it spare or want to sell it cheap I could use it for a custom - let me know

 

[zelu1984]

Hey guys, I got the bootleg (Chinese ver) of Sailor Moon yesterday. She is not bad but defo worse quality to Japanese ver. The paint is sloppy, and she is falling apart when posing.(hands, legs)

If you want it just for pose it once and display it ok but if you want to keep posing it I think is worth getting the original version.

Also she is out of scale :/// She is about 1-2 cm smaller to the Japanese ver of Sailor Moon (Not just the high but also legs and arms are a bit smaller)

 

[blood]

alright, thanks for the info

 

[zelu1984]

Since the bootleg Sailor Moon was a bit smaller I decided to make the use of her for another custom. This is just a mock up but let me know what do you guys think scale wise? Should I make here little bit shorter or is this fine? (I will resculpt all the parts and make everything smaller)

 

[lerath666]

HA! Not bad!

 

[devilof76]

Looks good, but she needs to be a lot shorter.

 

[zelu1984]

Thanks devilof76, I found some better references so I'll shorten her more

 

[blood]

deff. needs to be shorter
cant wait to see it finished!
