Now, someone correct me of I’m wrong on this observation, but it appears that the DCL Pluto in my previous blog post might’ve been an older version of the outfit. More recent cruise pictures indicate that this outfit is what Pluto wears in all four cruise ships these days…
Anyway, the first major difference is the lack of a white shirt. The au natural look. Secondly, the collar tie is a silky, dark navy blue instead of polyester red. Thirdly, his regular collar with dog tag is now a part of the costume rather than removed. Finally, the sailor hat is now a single red stripe with no stitched DCL emblem.
Admittedly, I rather meet Sailor Pluto in his full getup. This feels like he was late for briefing and threw on whatever wasn’t in the wash. But it’s still a nice outfit.
Note: It has also been presented as a Vinylmation figure:
What I do like is it includes the rarely-pictured backside, which features the collar’s backing, his name stitched in blue thread.
