Tamashii Nations has confirmed the North American release of S.H.Figuarts Sailor Moon -Crystal Star Compact Edition- for August 2026 at $70.95 USD, following its original Japanese release in June 2026 at 7,700 JPY tax included. The figure depicts Sailor Moon as she appears in Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon R, built around the Crystal Star Compact from that arc of the series.
This release comes fully assembled, with no building required, and ships with a genuinely loaded accessory set rather than a bare figure and a stand. That combination of a specific character era, real accessories, and a pre-assembled format is part of why retailers across multiple regions listed matching details well ahead of the North American ship date.
This guide covers what's confirmed about the release, what comes in the box, and an honest look at how to protect and display it given EVORETRO's current catalog.
According to Tamashii Nations' official S.H.Figuarts listing, corroborated by multiple independent retailers including BigBadToyStore, Entertainment Earth, and Plaza Japan, here's what's locked in:
Since the figure ships fully assembled, collectors don't need to worry about any construction step before it's shelf-ready.
The accessory set here goes beyond what a lot of Sailor Moon figures typically include. Three interchangeable facial expressions let collectors switch between different emotional poses, while four hand parts open up options for how the figure holds the Cutie Moon Rod or poses without it. The included Luna figure gives the set a companion piece rather than leaving Sailor Moon's iconic cat sidekick as a separate purchase, and the stand is built specifically for this release rather than a generic accessory.
Rather than a generic Sailor Moon figure built around her most commonly reproduced look, this release specifically represents her Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon R appearance and the Crystal Star Compact tied to that story arc. For long-running franchises with decades of merchandise, a specific-era figure like this tends to appeal more to collectors who know the source material well enough to want a particular moment represented, rather than a generalized version of the character.
Sailor Moon has its own dedicated category within the broader S.H.Figuarts lineup, alongside long-running lines for franchises like Dragon Ball, Kamen Rider, and One Piece. Tamashii Nations has periodically revisited the character with different compact and transformation-era releases over the years, and the Crystal Star Compact Edition continues that pattern rather than introducing an entirely new approach to how the character is represented in figure form. For collectors already invested in the line, this release slots in as another specific-era addition rather than a standalone reintroduction of the character.
EVORETRO doesn't currently carry a protector sized specifically for this Sailor Moon figure's packaging, and Tamashii Nations doesn't offer a dedicated aftermarket box protector for individual S.H.Figuarts releases either. What EVORETRO does carry is general figure protection and display gear sized close to standard S.H.Figuarts packaging, which works as a reasonable stand-in even without an exact-fit box protector for this specific release.
For collectors who want to keep this figure sealed or protect the box before deciding whether to display it out of packaging, EVORETRO's PET protector sized for similarly scaled Japanese figure packaging is worth checking against the box once official dimensions are available, since exact fit can vary between S.H.Figuarts lines.
With interchangeable hands, faces, the Cutie Moon Rod, and a separate Luna figure, this release has more individual pieces than a typical single-figure box. EVORETRO's acrylic display risers give Sailor Moon and Luna separate, elevated spots rather than crowding them onto the same flat shelf surface.
If you're pairing this figure with other S.H.Figuarts releases or building a broader anime figure shelf, EVORETRO's 4-Step Acrylic Display Stand lets you stagger multiple figures at different heights instead of lining them up in a single row.
To get ready for the August 2026 release, start with these:
August 2026, priced at $70.95 USD, following the original June 2026 Japanese release.
The main figure body, 4 interchangeable hand parts, 3 interchangeable facial expression parts, the Cutie Moon Rod, a Luna figure, and a display stand.
No, it ships fully assembled and ready to display.
Her appearance from Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon R, tied to the Crystal Star Compact from that story arc.
No. There's no dedicated protector for this specific Sailor Moon release, so this guide recommends a similarly scaled PET protector and general display risers instead.
S.H.Figuarts Sailor Moon -Crystal Star Compact Edition- gives collectors a specific, accessory-loaded take on one of anime's most enduring characters, with enough interchangeable parts and included pieces to build a genuinely varied display. Since there's no exact-fit protector for this release yet, a well-sized PET protector and a couple of risers are the most practical way to keep the figure, Luna, and the Cutie Moon Rod looking sharp once it arrives in August.
