Few anime couples are as iconic, or as timeless, as Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask. Their love story has endured across manga, anime, and even the stage, and now it is being immortalized once again with a breathtaking collectible fans are already clamoring for. The Figuarts Zero Chouette Usagi & Tuxedo Mask statue is officially getting a second release this November, and this version is even more dazzling than the original.
Titled the “Moonlight Glow Edition,” this re-release elevates an already beloved sculpture with enhanced coloring and a soft luminescent finish, according to CBR. Originally launched in 2018, the figure was once exclusive to Japan’s official Sailor Moon fan club. Now, however, international fans can breathe a sigh of relief: the collectible is confirmed for release through global retailers, including BigBadToyStore and Entertainment Earth.
A Stunning Tribute to Naoko Takeuchi’s Vision
The Figure That Captures Sailor Moon’s Romance Perfectly
What sets this figure apart is not just its rarity, it is the deep artistic homage it pays to Sailor Moon’s roots. Based on an original illustration by creator Naoko Takeuchi, the sculpture captures Usagi and Tuxedo Mask mid-embrace in their ethereal ballroom outfits. With Tuxedo Mask leaning into a crescent moon and Sailor Moon glowing in his arms, it is a perfect crystallization of their romance.
