Figuarts are great but they have so many parts that I still have them in their boxes for the most part. I have a couple of Funko Pops on my desk but they’re so terrible…

I guess Toei are actually trying what they can to fit within the budget Kodansha allowed. I assume that studios are hired by publishers, and other’s might have done much better, but Toei are too old-fashioned and bad at planning budget in general…

Thank you for this information Garet, the reality is always more complex than what it seems to be at first sight.

GuysToei dont really have anything to do with merch. It is all Kodansha’s milking the world. Toei make Crystal, being hired by Kodansha, who might be the real villain here. The moment Toei greenlit the project Kodansha made them an offer and they have accepted to do it for the offered budget. Toei don’t have anything to do with that. I assume Kodansha gave thrm too little, they can’t hire more people and the production is slow. But technically Toei already got their money and the currentvsailor moon merch revenue doesn’t go on them.

“And don’t forget to buy our sanitary pads that will make you feel like a moon princess during that period of the month.”

Oh please Justme, don’t bitch, Sailor Moon sanitary pads are great!

“With Sailor Moon sanitary pads, your will find all your Serenity back, and you will feel like a Princess, ready for everyday fight again. With Sailor Moon sanitary pads, don’t let the Chaos drown the world in a bloodbath!”

Sorry…

At that point, it becomes obvious that all the merch is a mean for Toei to raise funds for the movies. Ah, if only they made Figuarts Start Zero for the Outer Senshi… I mean, those Figuarts: http://www.moonkitty.net/tamashiinationzerofigures5b.jpg. I can only imagine Neptune competing with Mercury for the most beautiful water ballet…

“We need Crystal Super S. H. Figuarts variants for all Sailor Guardians!”

Yeah we do. Or better yet, some Eternal merchandise!
I mock them for it and then I buy it. I am the problem! ;_;
To be fair, I’ve only bought a few of the S.H figures. But I’m guilty of buying up the abominations that are the Funko Pops of the Sailors. Including that box set of the Royal Moon Family.

And don’t forget to buy our sanitary pads that will make you feel like a moon princess during that period of the month. And please consider buying our new candy series – the cheapest is just about 50 dollars. Also we are too embarrassed to admit that adapting Sailor Moon into movies is a very bad idea, so instead of apology we will simply wait until you forget all about them.
