NEW Sailor Moon Transformation Compacts Gashapon Set!!
This new announcement will sure get every Sailor Moon fan’s attention!!! Bandai is releasing a Sailor Moon transformation locket gashapon set! Included are the First Season brooch, Crystal Star, Cosmic Heart, Crisis Compact and Chibimoon’s SuperS compact. Sadly the Eternal compact from Stars is missing. The compacts measure around 5cm when closed, 10cm when opened. They are 300 yen each, scheduled for release in January 2014. Please note the grey lockets in the pic are prototypes, Bandai does this with a lot of their gashapon’s early promo pics. The finished product will be fully painted and finished.
You can preorder the complete set now from BigPfeiffer for $20. (Edit: BigPfeiffer confirmed that they’ve run out of preorders. Once I find another place to buy from I’ll post it.)
Edit #2: Jlist now has preorders available, $22 for the set! Don’t miss it!

I just came across two seperately on ebay, 20 bucks apiece and desperately bought them. xD However, I’m confuzzled–by “fully painted,” do yooh mean to say the the inside of your gashapon compacts were also colored or plain yellow plastic?
smcollectibles
Oh no! The prototype image for these were grey and unpainted, even the outside, that’s what the “fully painted” was referring to ^^
Zarion
How depressingly odd–the open picture of the two compacts I purchased shows the inside as plain yellow plastic and I figured it unavoidable when I saw the tutorials on painting those compact-insides. Perhaps only the presale set yooh spoke of has color inside?
Samantha
Can you please supply us with a new link if they become available for pre-order again? Also I found them for sale on Amazon & eBay but they want $70-$90 for the set.
smcollectibles
Jlist had the second batch preorder up but it seems they’re sold out again 🙁 if they restock I’ll post about it on twitter/facebook/tumblr!
Athena

Millicent
I just got an email from jlist today saying that they shipped them!!
Yay!!! I cant wait =D
Megan
Jlist.com doesn’t show the item anymore?? I also ordered back in October. Should they be shipping by this point?
smcollectibles
They remove their listings once the item has sold out. These just came out in Japan on the 31st, I would give them at least a couple days to pack and sort all the orders.
Amyranth
Agh! I waited too long! Does this mean the set is now available in the machines? Or has it been available all along?
smcollectibles
Nope they just came out today in the machines in Japan!
Amyranth
Hmmm! I hope this means there will be a store in Akihabara that will sell them. Fingers crossed that they are still available in May when I get to Tokyo.
nikolxir
did they release them?
Gabriella
When ho when will I received it? ): I don’t have any tracking number..
smcollectibles
They’re not released yet, these come out end of January.
Michael
Is 5cm really small for those compacts? xD
Lola
These are probably my favorite of the releases !
I will have to hunt them down on ebay since my ISP blocked Jlist :/
anahi
for the communicators is that like an accessory watch or is it a toy ? it says its a stationary item so im a bit confused about that
smcollectibles
They’re just cases, it’s not a watch.
Sailor Moon
I am gonna buy those 5 soon as possible and yell ‘moon power make up ‘lol
those are so much cheaper then the real transform brooches.
the real ones are so expensive those days !!
Kuri
So excited for these. They are so cute! I wish they worked! I really, really, REALLY hope they bring back all the old power items in their original size with original functions too. XD
Toomra
Crunchyroll also has these for sale, but I cannot recommend buying from there because for some reason they are on sale for a ridiculously high grand total of $140!!
Scarlet
Preordered 🙂 Can’t wait!
Kelsey
Thank you for the update! I preordered the set from JList 😀
smcollectibles
You’re welcome! ^^
daniel

smcollectibles
They’re gashapon/capsule toys but also mirrors.
Kyary
Will these have sounds?
smcollectibles
No sound.
Millicent Clay
I pre ordered from the j list site!! =D
Will they just ship it when it is released?
smcollectibles
Yup!
Dolly Moon
Hi Everyone I ordered my set on Jlist.com and it’s a very reliable site and the price is only $22 and you can pay with PayPal 🙂
Lukas
Just wondering, ar those like the old Bandai ones?
Are they playing a sound if you open them or push the Crystal inside?
smcollectibles
No, these are just capsule toys you get for $4. They don’t play sound or light up.
mizunoami
Will these brooches contain cosmetic powder like
The first one ? Or are they just toys ?
Thank you !!!
smcollectibles
These are gashapon (capsule toys that you get for $4), they do not contain cosmetic powder. They are mirrors though.
Ario
What is the Japanese pre-order site?
smcollectibles
I don’t know of any.
Londy
Hi I will really really like to pre order them, but I clicked on the link you made, I and could’t find the item 🙁 is there a problem on the website?
smcollectibles
As mentioned in the previous comments, they confirmed they’ve run out of preorders.
H.
Hey so.. I guess the link goes to a black page now? D: Anyone else having this problem? Thanks!
smcollectibles
Yes, they confirmed that they have run out of preorders.
smcollectibles
They’re doing a second production run so they’re back up! http://anime.jlist.com/click/4794?url=http://www.jlist.com/product/PRE3190
bambee
It’s not available on the site anymore! Anywhere else we can preorder??
smcollectibles
I think they ran out of preorders, but don’t worry, other sites will eventually have them too and I’ll definitely post the links when it happens!
Kelsey
Please post any other sites that you find that offer preorders for this set! I would really like to buy it.
Lou
Please do! It’d be great, and I’m sure a lot of people would appreciate it. I was gonna preorder it yesterday, but I was worried about how the international shipping worked since it was rather unclear, so I decided to wait until today and by then it was too late…
smcollectibles
They’re back up for preorder for the second production run for May! Link to preorder: http://anime.jlist.com/click/4794?url=http://www.jlist.com/product/PRE3190
smcollectibles
Good news, they’re back up for preorder for May! http://anime.jlist.com/click/4794?url=http://www.jlist.com/product/PRE3190
smcollectibles
They’re available again! http://anime.jlist.com/click/4794?url=http://www.jlist.com/product/PRE3190
Dawn
I just went to the website and the item isn’t listed. I preordered it from them too…
Lou
What about international shipping? I was about to preoreder, but it seemed really fishy that it listed shipping to Sweden as free, what’s up with that?
sarlm
I had the same issue so I sent them and email and he said that postage will be calculated at time of shipping. He said it’s estimated to be about $14-$22 to get to Australia but I’m not sure about Sweden!
Luke
What are the gray models? Are they prototypes, or the actual gashapon?
I just want to make sure that you’re paying for the pretty brooches and some DIY plastic casts.
Cait
Do we know the dimensions on these?
smcollectibles
Yes as stated in the post, they are around 5cm closed, 10cm opened.
Claudia
sorry, I missed the information when I first read the post :/
but you explayned it there, my mistake
Claudia
are they going to be white? I got a bit confused by the image…
Jin
I’m so excited! Is the announcement from Bandai’s official page? Are there no more pictures?
smcollectibles
Bandai hasn’t officially announced these yet, this is an exclusive first sneak peek!
Lucy
Is the site trustworthy?
smcollectibles
According to these reviews, yes! http://myfigurecollection.net/club/72/discussions/&did=790
Sephina
This is a small independent company based out of Halifax NS, in Canada (where I live!) I have bought from them many times and they are legit trustworthy. They seem to focus on local conventions/markets instead of their website that’s why they aren’t well known.
smcollectibles
Good to know! Thanks for sharing ^_^
