Wow, Mars looks great--pretty much how Mercury turned out! I wonder why some of the senshi have more dynamic bases/poses though. And I'm totally bummed that Jupiter only has the one lightning ball for decoration. >.>

Lighting would probably be a little harder to do on a figure. Most figures I see with lightning effects aren't too great, where things like flames and water streams can look great.



...I await Rightstuf to add Saturn to their pre-order listings. The Figuarts set have been great!

I'm not really a fan of the S.H Figuarts figures because posable figurines aren't really my cup of tea, but those Figuarts ZERO figures look amazing! I can't wait for the Mars one to become available for pre-order Anime smile

Jupiter's base is horrible. What they could have done instead of lightning, was have her surrounded by a vortex of flowers, or at least had a ring of flowers as her base. She doesn't just have electricity powers.

And Mars could have had a similar pose to the one she ended in when she spun around while using Fire Soul in the R movie against all the Kisenian Blossoms, instead of having one so similar to Mercury.

The S.H. Figuarts models are based off of the 1992-95 TV anime. The powers presented are based off the anime.

You may also want to reserve judgement until the figures are released for final presentation. What may look like crap now may turn out great in the end.

I found the ZERO Jupiter to be very plain as well, especially the base.

Looking forward to adding the S. Uranus SHFArts to my collection, though.

I have a few and I haven't had any problems.

Those figuarts zero figures quality don't seem to match the price. I have some One Piece ones that look much better and were cheaper.
