In all seriousness, the tissue box cover is something that I legitimately might buy based on the fact that it is freaking cute.

That tiara is a ripoff, it's worth $250 at most.

I actually own some things on here and own a lot more weird Sailor Moon products. But you know what? I don't think they're things I didn't "need." Except for the tiara and doll food (which is pretty damn cool), these things are for daily life and cosmetic use. Why not make mundane tasks like eating, cleaning, or cosmetics a little more fun with Sailor Moon? I don't think it's right to say they're unneeded. Anime cry

THANK YOU for making a list like this! I was excited about all the new merch at first, but they just keep releasing and releasing new stuff so I eventually lost interest and some of it is just silly like the pads lol.

And wow, I thought the tiara would be real SOMETHING if it's worth 3 grand. Might as well make your own tiara or maybe commission someone to make it so at least it'll actually be worth the 3 grand.

Sailor Moon tampons? Interesting... Next thing you know they'll have lingerie as well.

Glad to see ANN made this list, because even as a long-time Sailor Moon fan the sheer variety and volume of new Sailor Moon merchandise is making my head spin.

I actually think the maxi pads aren't so weird, in the sense that they're at least practical and useful in daily life for women. The various miniature trinkets and that ridiculously expensive tiara...not to much. I'm also surprised the Sailor Moon heart-shaped folding cell phone didn't make it onto the list; I think out of all the new merch that's the one I had the hardest time wrapping my head around.

Anime tissue box covers are more common than you think.

Years ago I bought One Piece grab bag at a con and among the things was a One Piece tissue cover...

However a couple years ago I lost it in a fire.

However a couple months later I went to Japan... and when I went to J-World I bought a new one to replace the one I lost...

So yeah... it's not that rare of a product.

Well there are Obama shaped vibrators so...
But don´t you worry as EVA will get one first. That series has everything under the sun licensed to it´s name. Do a list on that! Kaworu girls lingere FTW.

Oh yeah, that PHONE. It is the least SM looking thing (in my opinion) that's come out and I personally don't even think it's cute.

I think my dislike for SM merchandise these days is that there is so much of it that it just doesn't even appeal to me anymore. The camera bag is another one that I'm like, "Really?" Still it gives fans plenty of chances to get SOMETHING Sailor Moon related in their tastes so I guess it isn't all bad.

I still want some of the things that have come out, but most of the things I've wanted are not sold anymore ;-;
