Product: Sailor Moon Bow Wallet
Manufacturer: GE Animation
Year: 2012
Review: On first glance, the wallet looks vibrant and cute, perfect Sailor Moon theme! Unfortunately once I touched it, I quickly realized it was very thin and flimsy. The material is not sturdy and the wallet I received has a giant crease on the front. It feels like it’s cardboard with a layer of thin foam with fabric wrapped on top. The button flap doesn’t feel very durable so I doubt I’ll be able to use this wallet for long. Once opened there are 5 card slots and 1 picture/ID slot on the left. On the right is the bills slot and a thin zippered slot that can fit a handful of coins. Personally 5 card slots isn’t enough for me and they fit really tightly, sometimes it’s a struggle to get your card out. The clear picture/ID slot is a positive point for me because it doesn’t have a hole in the center. I like to put a photo in my wallet so it’s perfect for me since dust and dirt doesn’t get in easily. However for others this might be a bad thing since there’s no hole for you to slide your ID out. Overall I would still recommend getting one because it’s cute & pretty and not too expensive.
Where to buy: You can get it here for $17.10!

Moonies near the Toronto area! Did you know you can buy some of the new Sailor Moon merchandise from the Hot Topic at Scarborough Town Center?
Here’s what they had in stock on Feb. 25! Not pictured: group sticker (in a bowl beside the cashier), costume t-shirt (only two XL left), black hoodie (under the lanyards).



However the major downside is that the prices are a lot higher than the HT website and compared to the US. The belt & tshirts are $30 each! The good news is the black hoodie is on sale for $23.95! When I was there they had all the sizes available so go grab yours now!
There are in total around 100 new Sailor Moon merchandise being released by GE Animation. Based on hundreds of fans reactions collected by my tumblr, it seems the Star Locket necklace is the most highly anticipated 2012 Sailor Moon release! At this moment the price is unknown, but here is what we do know: 1.75″ in size, it doesn’t open (sadly!) and it doesn’t play music. GE has stated to expect it in stock by late April/early May 2012. How many will you be buying?! 
Product: Sailor Moon First Season Brooch
Manufacturer: GE Animation
Year: 2012
Review: This is the first item in the North American revival that resembles a RPG toy! GE Animation is mainly a manufacturer of “trinkets/accessories” like keychains, magnets, cards, posters and not really toys or play sets. So I consider it lucky that we even get a brooch pin like this one! Anyways onto the details: it is made of metal, around 2″ in diameter, there’s a pin on the back so you can easily wear it. The jewel in the center is a plastic gem, would have been a lot more accurate if it was 3x bigger. Unfortunately the gold paint isn’t on very evenly, I bought 2 and both have some areas where it looks like the paint is too thin and you can see the grey metal underneath. However I would still recommend everyone to buy one because of its significance and it’s pretty to look at!
Where to buy: You can get it here for $13.99!

Product: Sailor Moon Playing Cards
Manufacturer: GE Animation
Year: 2011
Review: The cards are very well made, they’re smooth and crisp while the images are colorful and sharp. Best selling point is that each card has a different image. I’m quite impressed with them and would definitely recommend buying a deck! Watch my video review here.

Where to buy: You can get them here for $5.40!
