Hello everyone! This post is for anyone who likes Sailor Moon. I'd really like to meet other Moonies and talk about collections and others are looking forward to as far as collecting memorabilia.
Sup! I'm a huge Sailor Moon fan as I've been watching them when I was younger (like a lot of people) and yet today I'm waiting the next "season" of Crystal I don't religiously collect SM stuff but I like to add some stuff when I see something catching my eye. I'd say my latest SM goodies were the little Crystal re-ment food!
That's one of my problems. Haha! I religiously collect Sailor Moon goodies. I can't help it. And I can't say I've watched the Crystal season. But I've heard from my friend that she wasn't a fan of it. But to each their own, I suppose. I'd still give it a shot.
I am a pretty much a die hard Sailor Moon fan.. it's what sparked my interest in anime and manga, and probably BJDs now that I think about it, Since they remind me somewhat of anime characters with their big heads and eyes and long lithe bodies. I collect a bit but I mostly love the story and the art, I've read all the manga and watched both the original and Crystal versions of SM. I like both, of course the original will always hold a very special place in my heart since I watched it first in 5th grade (1994-1995, I'm aging myself here, I'm 31 now) and it kinda was my "gateway drug" into anime.
I'm also a Sailor Moon fan! ♥ I'm basically obsessed with it. I could teach courses on "Sailor Moon Studies", haha~
I can't remember when I started watching, I wanna say I was in second grade. But I've loved it ever since. I regret losing my Cutie Moon Rod that I had back in the late 90s. I'm sure it's worth a lot now, I am loving the Bandai Proplicas of SM! I wish I had enough for the new Spiral Heart Moon Rod.. But it's the holidays. What all have you collected? If you don't mind me asking? I would take a Sailor Moon Studies class! For sure! Do you collect any SM memorabilia?
Yes, I do. ♥ Right now I'm actively collecting the Miniaturely Tablet series and the PROPLICA items. I get a few other items here and there, but those two I am collecting in their entirety. I don't really like figures, generally speaking, but I LOVE things that look like brooches and toys that have sound and light. I just can't financially justify trying to collect everything. I do get a few things outside of what I listed above sometimes, especially if it's Chibi Moon related. (She's my favourite!) Do you collect anything in particular?
Oh man, I love Sailor Moon. I've actually god a Proplica Cutie Moon Rod arriving at the house tomorrow! I also put up picture reviews of the SH Figuarts (well...the ones I buy, anyway) on my tumblr. Imposter Sailor Moon is my favorite, though I had to jump through hoops to get it. I'm also casually working on a Sailor Moon tabletop roleplaying game in my free time (yes, I know one came out in the 90s. That one was terrible).
Well I do collect figures. I've been avidly collecting the SH Figuarts since they came out. I love them. And I really like the Girls Memory line of figures they have. I have all of them so far. Saturn is the only one I'm waiting for. I also love the PROPLICA line. I wish I had money for the Spiral Heart Moon Rod. But it will have to wait. And I also love the little gashapon sets. I have those too. Also, Chibi Moon is my favorite too! As well as Saturn. I collect too much SM... Haha! Oooh! The Cutie Moon Rod! I love that one. I really want the Spiral Heart Moon Rod. That will be my next one. I have all the other PROPLICA items. The crystal star brooch and the Moon Rod. I love them. And I also collect SH Figuarts. I do not have imposter sailor moon. Or Sailor V. Or Super Sailor Moon for that matter.
Sailor V has been ridiculous to find, there's a shortage of her. Someday I want to add her to my mini-collection, but...yeah. Reseller prices make me sad. I do have a Super Sailor Moon...though not a regular one. XD
She's ok. She was my first. Her and Mars. I ordered them together. I think Pluto is going to be hard to find.... I want her. For a while I didn't thing they were going to make her. The reason I thought they weren't going to make her was because Pluto was no longer a planet.... Why that would have been the reason, I don't know. I'm a ding dong sometimes. :P
I'm a pretty big Sailor Moon fan (and I'm sorry, but I love the DIC dub version, haha, been watching that since third grade at least), but I haven't had time to watch any Crystal beyond the first episode. :T I'm thinking about getting a SH Figuarts Sailor Moon since all I have right now merch-wise is an ancient Tuxedo Mask chibi rubber-ish figurine, the newer Petit Charas of Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask, and an ochatomo (those adorable little figures that cling to the rim of your glass) of... you guessed it, Tuxedo Mask. You never forget your first anime crush.
I'm a fan of Sailor Moon! I don't have much in the way of merchandise, but I do have the series on DVD, and have fansubbed episodes of Crystal. I also have some of the novellas they'd released years back about each of the episodes from the first season. Don't think that book series was ever actually finished, though. Oh, and I've written lots and lots of fanfiction about the show.
I love the petit charas! They're so cute! And honestly, I'm not sure who my first anime crush was... Do video game people count? Haha! Oh cool! I'd love to read your fanfiction! I love fanfiction! I've never tried to write my own though.
I'm a sucker for tiny chibi figures! Chimi Charas are my favorite! Of course video game people count, lol. I had a crush on Vincent Valentine, but I'm starting to derail the thread so I'll stop now, lol.
Well, sure, if you'd like. I have a few of them posted on fanfiction.net. I had a LOT more posted, but I'd gone through and pulled most of them years back. I'm working on getting them back up, though (feel free to ignore the other non-Sailormoon stories). Stormlight | FanFiction
Isn't it lovely?! Do you love it?? I love it!! There's mine. Ok cool! Because I'm pretty sure I had it bad for Leon Kennedy when I was a little kid. It was that hair! That like 90s sort of bowl cut. Hahaha! And it's totally ok! Oh cool! Thank you!! I'm looking forward to reading them!!
Okay, one more: I still have it pretty bad for Leon. Hahaha. RE4 Leon especially. Vincent was definitely a childhood thing though.
I wasn't sure I should post my little family saga here, but it's Brigadoon so, what the heck. Being a Sailor Moon fan has had a profound effect on my family, mostly on my daughter. I used to watch it with her in the '90s (my favorite episode was when a fat cat named Hercules fell in love with Luna) and the show sparked her interest in Japan which I'm sure it does in most of the young people who watch it. She was influenced to the point where she managed to spend one summer with a family in Hiroshima while she was in high school, then their daughter spent a year with us. She ended up taking Asian studies in college with more time in Japan as a student and then back again as a teacher of English. Well the kicker is that she met a Japanese man who became her husband and they are now living in the States and have just had their second child. I don't think any of this would have happened without Sailor Moon, so you just don't know where that fandom will take you! And she did collect a few items, they were hard to find at the time. I took a photo of one of them a few years ago. U... for Usagi Tsukino by Nadine, on Flickr
Aw I love your story! It really is amazing how something like that can spark up something truely great! I hope I'm able to spark something like that with my niece. I got her into it. And I think I'm might actually get her into the Dollie hobby too.. ^_^ You know who else is a mega hottie? Dante from Devil May Cry. But mostly because I think he was modeled after Leon.
Good luck with your niece! None of my daughters has an interest in dolls now that they are adults, but I have high hopes for my granddaughter.
That's pretty cool. I know several people who were inspired to learn Japanese and live in Japan for a year or two to teach English, and pretty much due to Sailor Moon. Fun fact: The fat cat in that episode is actually named Rhett Butler (or Red Butler; hard to tell with the accent. lol). I guess DiC changed it because nobody in the targeted age group would get the reference, whereas everyone knows who Hercules is. lol
Yes, she also made some fast friends from America while she was in Japan. That's funny about the cat's name. I think I prefer Hercules, it's a more classical reference!
I love Sailor Moon! I have lots of goodies, but over the years I've sold off TONS of Sailor Moon stuff. That's how I keep from being a hoarder, I sell my forgotten stuff to others! Here's my Sailor Moon Pullip: sailor moon pullip by sailorchiron, on Flickr I've got this girl on layaway: DELF ARI Ver.WINK Limited_m by sailorchiron, on Flickr and I think she's going to cosplay as Sailor V!
I'd love to commission someone to make a Trinity-sized Princess Serenity gown. And then find a child-sized wig that could be altered to fit her head. My Lumie would make a fantastic Princess Serenity.
Sailor Moon is my childhood. XD The DIC dub was my first exposure but my favorite's always been the manga. I used to love seeking out the individual little comic book volumes. Having it all in lovely graphic novel form now is awesome. I recently bought the original anime and have slowly been watching my way through it out of order. Started with Stars since I'd never seen it. Only have about half of R left to go. Got about half-way through Crystal so far too. I mostly collect Serenity and Luna things since they're my favorites. Miniaturely Tablets too. And the little die-cast keychain charms. I've also got a huge weakness for crystal lotuses.
Oh, the Girls Memory figures are so cute~! ♥ I just received my Spiral Heart Moon Rod and it was totally worth it. I need to rearrange my display area so that I can put it out. ♥ It's very large!
I'm so jealous!! I can't wait to get one. Are you going to be getting the Rainbow Moon Chalice? I have her too!!! I wish I had the funds for all the other Pullips, but I do not. I think in the future I'll at least get Chibi Moon and Saturn. They are my favorite scouts. Plus I don't have any Dals in my collection.
Yes, I will. I've decided to get all of the PROPLICA items, because I've been so happy with them. I have the Rainbow Moon Chalice and the Cosmic Heart Compact on preorder. ♥
See, I think I may skip on the Cosmic Heart Compact. But I'm not sure. I liked the Crystal Star Compact but I prefer the weapons? I don't know. Haha! We'll see.
The weapons are fun, but I really like both types! I like the light and the recorded voice and music. I always wish I had bought more of the toys in the 90s. PROPLICA lets me enjoy buying more of this kind of toy with even prettier designs and more features! ♥ So it's a ton of fun~ I do want the Petit Chara Deluxe Chibi Moon~ She's so cute!
ahhhhh a moonies thread! I've got the sailor moon pullip that my fiance bought me for my birthday! I don't have many other collectors items. I used to but my mom threw them out when I was 12 because I was "too old to be playing with them." Thanks mom. but I used to have all the dolls and the wands. My favorite was the brooch though :3
I love Sailor Saturn, and Sailor Moon by extension. When I moved out of my parents house, I had to sell some of my SM merchandise, and am really annoyed I did. Especailly since my mother did not follow through with "throwing anything left, out." But I still have my SM keytar, which I'm determined wasn't super popular since I've only encountered one other owner on the net of the model I have. My Stallion lathe and my star locket, and most of the mib dolls. Still, sold my cresent wand/sceptre/and jewelry box. Sad and regret that, but know there's no way I'm ever going to spend the money to replace them. They were all NIB, so to replace them would be more than I'd be willing to spend on something that's just going to sit there that I won't play with. I've transitioned into BJDs! Cause they're pricey, but at least I can play with them without effecting their worth to much!
I'm so glad there are Sailor Moon fans here! I'm ashamed to say it, but I was bought a Chinese knockoff version of Samantha Vega's little sailor moon purses, and have not regretted it since (Birthday present but still, it's cute). Not to mention, I own a pretty transformation make-up compact, and a Sailor Moon Crystal transformation pen. Sailor Moon is totally my aesthetic.
Haha! I totally just replied to you on another thread about Sailor Moon! I'm glad you found my thread!!! I thought about buy that purse. It probably would have been a knockoff too. But I did not. And I regret it.
I agree here! Wholeheartedly! Like many in this thread, Sailor Moon is what got me started with BJDs, too! My first is actually going to be based off of Sailor Pluto! I collected a whole lot, but had to sell most of it due to funds... I still have almost the entire unpainted gachapon set (missing the villians, ahhh), a pencil tin, and a few Cyrstal figures (keychains, and tiny figures). I'm trying to find Pluto as the Figuarts for a decent price and desperately wish they'd come out with a Neo Queen Serenity doll!!
I am trying to find Pluto at a decent price too... She's the only one I need to complete my outer scouts. Did you hear they're making a Dark Lady Figuarts??? So maybe they'll make a Neo Queen Serenity.
Yes! Have you seen her? She's gorgeous, but exclusive so the price is going to be INSANE! I never though of a NQS Figuart - you've got me super hopeful now!
I sure have!!! I love her!!! She is gorgeous! I've been wanting to get the Black Lady Pullip but I have some dollies on the way. I saw that they have three more that they're gonna add to the Figuarts line. So maybe! Or it could be the Starlights.
Yes! I started collecting Sailor Moon goods back in 2014. Here's my instagram account in case anybody's interested in seeing some of the pics.... It's definitely an addiction now. haha.
It's a series that will always be near and dear to my heart because it was my gateway anime. It sucks the dolls are so ugly though. XD
On wednesday I'm going to go buy the moon chalice! And the 3rd mini tablet set. I love SM also, and crystal is alright. It's almost like dragon ball z. I'm like hanging at the end of the episode. But geez. Jupiter Coconut Cylon always gets me. Lol
Hi everyone! I'm a huge magical girl fan & an avid Sailor Moon collector! Has everyone seen the new episodes of Sailor Moon Crystal? They're amazing *____* I'm especially excited to see Hotaru finally portrayed correctly. Also, if anyone else has an Instagram, I post lots & lots of pictures of SM related things (as well as dolls and other magical girlyness!) ママ (@polarisu) • Instagram photos and videos I just added you! I love your Himitsu no Akko chan brooch!
The shop near my house had them in after the con. The shop owner is a really nice guy. I put in a order for the communicator watches too. I also started collecting the Qposket figures.
I don't know it my images are showing. But if I had to say, for grail items.. I'd like to get thr Anna sui key necklace. Also in this season for sailor moon crystal, mars's eyes don't match imo. Also... Coconut cyclone. Lol
For any Sailor Moon fans who also enjoy mobile gaming, the adorable game Sailor Moon Drops (released in Japan in September 2015) has now been released in English! It's a super-cute game, similar to Candy Crush (or any other jewel-matching game) and it follows the story of Sailor Moon and her fellow Guardians (Senshi/Sailor Scouts) through the series. I only downloaded this game 2 days ago, and I am already addicted. I cannot emphasize enough the cuteness of each character and their actions as you play. The game is available for both iOS and Android - just search the app store for "sailormoon drops" (note that "sailormoon" is all one word, no spaces). Have fun playing!
Ugh, I've been totally addicted to Sailor Moon drops for about a month now.. it's literally sucking all my free time. lmao
Wow, why haven't I seen this thread before!? I've been a Sailor Moon fan ever since I was a kid. Unfortunately I never had access to all the goodies that were released back then so all these new merchandise coming out makes me feel like I'm a little girl again. I've been collecting the Figuarts figures, tablets, gashapons and most of the stationaries like the pointer pens and pencil cases. I recently got my first Proplica and I'm really impressed with how beautiful and detailed it is. So my next goal is to buy all the Proplicas. Also the Kaleidomoon Scope pen and the Eternal Set to complete my pen collection! I wanted to have a set of dolls too but unfortunately I'm not a Pullip fan. I really hope we get more Sailor Moon dolls in the future like the old Irwin sets. it would be amazing if Azone or Sekiguchi partnered with Bandai and re-released some of the older dolls. I'd die for a Sailor Moon Wedding Doll. I can't bring myself to collect the old ones mostly because I'd want the complete sets and I don't have the time to spend on hunting them down and also it would be super expensive.
I'm the same way as you. I limited myself to only ones that I found for cheap that I could fix up! I found a Sailor Pluto with a leg snapped off that I was able to fix and a Princess Serenity with a dirty dress. Both had tangled hair and some dirt, but they turned out almost perfect! I decided to get a new dress for Serenity to make her the Queen. Oh, also re-did her buns. Both I found on LiveJournal for $5 each not too long ago. Don't say never!!
Here's my Sailor Pluto Figuarts that I was finally able to buy! And here's a photo with all of my Figuarts. (Sorry for the bad quality)
