The 14th scout in the Groove Inc Sailor Moon Series ist Pullip Sailor V!
Now, your probably like me and are wondering. "Didn't they already release this doll? She looks just like Sailor Venus but with some cool looking shades"?
Well actually, you are partly correct, because the creator of the Sailor Moon series Naoko Takeuchi, first introduced Sailor V in a short manga series titled Codename: Sailor V which came first, than the sequel Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon (which we know as Sailor Moon) came out later.
Here is additional info from Wiki.
(That's pretty awesome info to learn . . . I wasn't even aware that Sailor V and Sailor Venus were the same XD)
Scheduled release date is November 2015.
No info on what the Premium Bandai shop exclusive will be. Will update post when available.
Premium Bandai shop exclusive is an Artemis plush.

Yeah, Sailor V!!! As a huge Sailor Moon fan, I was wondering what version of the Sailor V suit they would choose. Luckily, they went for the prettiest. My guess is that the Premium Bandai edition will include a little Artemis plush. On the other hand, I really don’t mind that she is another Minako Aino doll, it’s nothing compared to the 5 different Usagi Tsukino dolls that will be released in total. At the beginning when the list was published, I thought it would be best to have the same character come with different outfits, even if they were sold separately. That way, there could be more characters instead of the same one several times. Anyway, I’m collecting them all 🙂
It would be nice if the Premium Bandai edition is another plush, all them have been super cute ^_^
I’m still in awe that you are collecting them all! That’s so cool.
When the Groove Sailor Moon series ends we would really love to see your collection sometime with all the girls and boys side by side. 🙂
Absolutely!! I’d be more than happy to share pics of my Sailor Moon doll collection when it is complete. I’ve been so obsessed by Sailor Moon since it came out in the 90’s and now my love for dolls is so big, that when this collaboration was announced, it was a match made in heaven 😀
Oh awesome please do! 🙂
I wonder when it’s all said and done how many characters will be made?
This is by far the longest Pullip series and the group shoot is going to be unbelievable.
A part of me hopes that they stick to the 20 dolls that come on the list. On the other hand, there are so many Sailor Moon characters and variations on those same characters, that Groove has got a lot of material to work with. Only time will tell. But one thing is for sure, no matter how many dolls are released, I will collect them all ^_^
