New necklace of Uranus' Space Sword - 18k gold, $120 @ Premium Bandai

I think the title says it all. Here's the link.

Currently no way to order outside Japan, maybe with a middleman.

Uranus plush prototype from GE

No news on a release date yet, but I'll post again when availible!

Sailor Moon Puchi figure of Uranus now on preorder! (as well as the other Outers)

 You can get them here. After registered SAL shipping they were only $50 for me. You can also get the keychains still as well!

So these are now officially up for preorder at CDJapan for $11 a peice. Shipping is kind of expensive, but registered SAL has some tracking with signature confirmation for about half the cost.

Also note you need the final amount in your account to "authorize" the order, or if you pay with Paypal, the cost will be deducted immediately.

You can find Uranus here.

I'm so stoked for Saturn (my true love for collecting) and Uranus! No word on preorders yet, but will post when there are some.

I think Uranus' pose is kinda... er, girly? I don't know, seems kinda off, but it's Uranus and it's cute! <3

Stay tuned!

New Anime Series Keychain Availible for Preorder

You can preorder the previously mentioned keychains, one being Sailor Uranus, on J-List/Box right now for $22.00 USD. With the cheapest tracking/insured shipping my total was around $30.

You can order them here.

New Series keychain previewed!

Big thanks to SailorMoonCollectibles for the heads up!

As some of you know, there has been an explosion of the original 5, sometimes Chibi-Usa merchandise, recently, due to the new series. This is the first we've technically seen of any of the outers with their Gashapon Keychains Series 2!

 Let me just say right off the bat the fact that they have their talismans make this a must buy for me. The attention to detail is beautiful.

Details by SMCollectibles: "This time it will be a complete set of 5, featuring Sailor Moon, Chibiusa, Sailor V, Sailor Uranus & Sailor Neptune. These will be available in Japan in gashapon machines starting February 2014 for 300yen each."

She will also post preordering info once it is availible, so please follow her blog!

A few auctions

There are some good Uranus finds on Ebay right now. I can't afford them so I'm passing them your way:

Irwin 2001 Uranus Plush @ $34  This price is pretty fair, ending in 4 hours. I wasn't gonna go above $40 shipped for her, so have at it!

Uranus Lip Rod (from Twin Pack, Neptune availible too) @$102+ - I would've bidded on this, but I want the set and I'm guessing these will end around $300 each at least. Not in my price range.

New gets, probably only ones for awhile!

Not really expecting more anytime soon, so enjoy these pics of my new stuff and let me know how your hunts are going!

Just because I'm not active here doesn't mean I'm not active in the community. You guys can always drop me a line to Shindkrow at SMCollector or ShindoW at SailorMoonForum. :)

I am actively seeking two items, the 11" Irwin Doll Crescent Moon Wand and the Uranus Beauty Change doll.

Now, onto the gets!

 

You'll rarely get to see me update my small Glaive collection, so here's my new UFO catcher, probably my most wanted SM item, even more than Uranus stuff!

 

A few minor updates, Irwin dolls completed!

Recently the Sailor Moon merchandise site has added some necklaces and stuff, but no outer senshi stuff yet. Not that I'm expecting it well into the end of the first season of the anime at soonest. ^^

Thanks to a very kind person over at SMF I finally have the last Irwin doll! I still need the plushes though.

I managed to get the 6" dark blue box and the last UFO catcher I needed on Ebay earlier this week. My wallet truly hurts, I tell you. On average the dolls cost me $50 each, some not even CIB.

How have your collections been progressing? Drop me a note and let me know!

Want to buy: 11.5" Irwin Uranus "Yellow Box" MIB

I finally obtained the "ugly face" 6" doll of Uranus, so now I just need the Yellow Box 11.5" version. She has to be mint in the box / complete in the box!

New find

Just posting to say I obtained the last UFO Catcher I needed! (Still missing 2 of the Irwin plush though)

You can see the details on my Collection page!

Site Updates

I did a huge update to the Wish List section and added a new "Buying Locally" guide to the Tips page. I recieved this little gal today:

New pin added

Irwin Week

Oh my God, I have had such amazing luck from the community and Ebay.

I managed to snag an ugly face, complete / loose Irwin 12" doll, the Irwin rubber strap, AND the original Irwin plush.

I've also snagged another Uranus pin, too!

I am in absolute heaven! I can't wait to share with you all!

A few tiny gets: heart pin and Kids figure

I got these 2 in the mail today!

I was a little bummed winning this pin because there was a Diana one as well I missed out on only because my phone was acting up. A shame, because the only other time I've seen that pin it's been $23+... these were BIN for $8 each...

On the bright (and wierd) side of things, the "Kids" figure is very different from that "bootleg keychain" I got... now I'm wondering if it's just shoddy official merchandise. Either way, always good to not have a duplicate in my collection. :D 

Huge update with unboxing, new get!

So my FromJapan order arrived a few days ago and I'm happy to share it with you all:

I had recently had this but hadn't posted an updated pic yet!

So, originally I was gonna replace my figure, but I noticed that they're different! The one on the right is the original which was packaged by itself and no lip rod. On the left is the second version packed with Neptune and a mini lip rod. The eyes and stand are different!

Over a foot of Uranus awesomeness. The Excellent M Models are amazing! She's even taller than the Irwin 11.5", of course, on the left. Sailor Team doll is on the left.

I love this one, so cute and has the mini lip rod!

There's the bootleg keychain in the top middle, the orange hair figure on the right.

The keychain is new.

Also, here is the unboxing video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDffT8nEsKg&feature=youtu.be

Much to my amazement, the Excellent M Model figure is much much larger than I ever imagined. For $25 before shipping/fees I would say it was well worth it! I have a weak spot for figures like these, either very lightweight, hollow plastic or vinyl.

Don't expect a major update like this for awhile as I'm sure most of the items on my list are the expensive ones. I've seen a lot of the lip rods recently, but god, I can't shell out an entire summer paycheck or more for one. So, sadly, I'll wait on the sidelines!

Thanks!!

Edit: So happy!!! Just won the lot of communicator watches on Ebay! If anyone's interested, I'm selling / trading Sailor Mars' Communicator Watch. Check out my trade section for details!

Irwin get! and late night find!

Saw her on Ebay and just had to get her! :) She's now deboxed with the matching Irwin keychain~

 

Ebay has been full of finds this week! Snagged this finger puppet / "Kids" style figure for $6!

Y!JP is on the way!

More loot

Got a few more items in the mail today.

Also, I got a new dresser, so my collection moved a little:
