Princess Serenity Figuarts Zero chouette Figure
Information on the Sailor Moon Princess Serenity figure we’ve been teased with for months is finally here!!! It’s the first one in this new “Figuarts Zero chouette” line made by Bandai. This line aims to make figures that are pretty, something nice to add a sparkle to your room. It’s feminine and eye catching, made to be unforgettable in your heart.
This Princess Serenity figure has a delicate facial expression and hairstyle, her head is tilted slightly to show cuteness. Her feet peek out from the hem of her dress that is sheer-looking. There’s a use of clear plastic to evoke a sense of transparency and lightness. The dress is made with attention to detail emphasizing the overlap and the spread of the fabric. The silk texture of the dress was achieved by the use of pearl and gloss paint. With the moon and rose petals on the surface of the water, they hope to represent a fantasy-like atmosphere of serenity. The base has a silver frame to overlay the blue water. They purposefully played up the beautiful contrast between light and dark from her white dress and the clear blue water on a dark night. In combination of all this, they hope to express a luxurious glamourous setting.
The figure measures around 11cm, including the base is 14cm. It is made of PVC. Princess Serenity can be completely removed from the base. The retail price is 6,480 yen and it’s scheduled for release in September 2016. You can preorder it on Premium Bandai using a shopping service if you’re outside Japan: step by step guide.

Um…Can you please tell me how WIDE the figure is? ‘Cuz I have no problem with the height of the figure, but I need to see if she can fit on my bench, because I have very little room left on my Sailor Moon Collection bench!! 🙁

Hello,
I preordered her already on from japan, its my first time using it….. and i am not sure if everything went through because the money wasn’t removed from my card, and i used a prepaid card i don’t know if thats alright? but other than that it says ordered, awaiting arrival. I wanted to know if they take the money once the item arrives to them? Thank you
Heather

I saw this figure today in a tamashii nations display on a comic con here in Mexico City, it’ s all GORGEOUS, there’s nothing wrong with the eyes, it’s perfection all over. The dress looks perfect, and it’s not that small as it might seem, everything about it is incredible.

I love this figure but I had expected it to be much bigger, so it’s kind of a disappointment. When are they ever gonna start making sailor moon merchandise that is big and worth the ridiculous prices they charge for them?

Super cute!
Dante
Mixed feelings on this one. Pros: it’s Princess Serenity, beautiful dress, and detachable, but Cons: mouth and nose too close and bad face in general, too small, hair isn’t very dynamic

They do realize that “chouette” mean either “owl” or “neat” (slang) in French?
Dream
Beautiful, but I probably won’t get her unless she goes on Amazon. The eyes are a little odd and don’t really look like the eyes on all my other Sailor Moon figures…
Dano
Hmmm personally i don’t see how the eyes are odd or weird looking :/

They look very nicely made to me in a very Ikuhara style, they look fine to me.
Molly
I think you meant Ikuko Itou XD;;; (Ikuhara is one of the director)…but I agree the face is great…
The proportions for everything else not so much =_=;;;
Sally
Looking at the photos she looks about the same scale as the figuarts action figures.
Stefanie
For an item that expensive and anticipated, her face was done really badly. It’s blank, and has no expression or depth – at all. Also the nose and mouth don’t seem accurate to be honest, be it manga/crystal or 90’s anime.
Very disappointing o.o;
Jess
Someone help me with premium bandai i dont know what to do or how to order
Dano
It’s weird, i’ve just seen that chouette means owl… lol
Tweedsheep
It does literally mean ‘owl’ but it’s a French slang term meaning ‘cool’.
Dano
Oooh! thanks 🙂
Dano
OMG, I want this sooooooo baaaaad!!! it’s smaller than i expected, but i can live with that, so it seems that it’ll be a whole new line, so i hope to see Prince Endymion, and something with King and Queen Serenity omggg, there’s a tamashii event in mexico this weekend, so i wonder if they’ll have the figure on display omg!
Mimi

I didn’t know it was so small tho :0
It’s really cute anyway
Lily

Only from Premium Bandai?
Kelvena Skyewind
She’s so small, I thought it would be bigger than that =( not worth 65$ + for that size IMO
Eunice
Just a question how big is she in inches
Sailor David
PB exclusive???? Why?? I’m happy we are finally getting her, but not happy that she is a premium Bandai exclusive .
Ignacio
not a PB Bandai exclusive. That information is for those who want to preorder the figure from now….
Tiger
