Bandai Candy announced details for the new STAR GALLERY figure series from Detective PreCure! on its official blog on August 19. The series will be available in two versions: a general retail version priced at 2,500 yen each (excluding tax) and a Premium Bandai version, with ordering information scheduled to begin on their respective e-commerce sites from August 20. STAR GALLERY replaces the discontinued Cutie Figure line, which ended due to factors such as the weak yen and rising raw material costs. The new series aims to continue the figure lineup in a different form while significantly improving product specifications. Figures have been enlarged from approximately 100mm to approximately 110mm, and skirts and small accessories that were previously molded in one piece are now divided for finer sculpting. The target age has also changed from 3 years and older to 15 years and older, based on analysis showing many Cutie Figure buyers were at least 15. The first wave includes Cure Answer, Cure Mystic, and Cure Arcana Shadow, while the second wave adds Cure Eclair and Cure Arcana, with both waves releasing simultaneously. The Premium Bandai version adds fine color coding and gold or pearl paint on some parts.
