Sailor Jupiter from the Figurarts Zero line was the newest addition to my figurine collection this past Christmas. It was between her and Sailor Venus and my lovely sibling picked this one.
I love her expression and the detail given to the shading aspect. I put it next to my Mercury from the same line and was quite surprised to see how 2-D Mercury was in comparison. It's unfortunate that I can't put the two next to one another and I'm disappointed in Bandai for not putting the same attention to earlier figurines. It's for this reason I will not purchase Sailor Moon despite being fond of figurines that try to showcase attacks.
Another downfall of this figurine is that her skirt is very open. From the side, one can see her open side thigh and curve of the bum. It makes it a bit difficult to appreciate the colour scheme and lovely pose without having Sailor Jupiter sexualized. Honestly, I never been so annoyed at the perverted fans that get off of this kind of detail. C'mon, everyone.
So aside from these issues, I do love the rest of her and I look forward to getting Mars and Venus to complete my collection :)
