Details on the NEW Sailor Moon Wand: PROPLICA Moon Stick!
New details have emerged on the upcoming Sailor Moon wand that was revealed at the Sailor Moon musical La Reconquista. This wand is called “PROPLICA Moon Stick” and is scheduled for release in April 2014 priced at 8,800yen. The Proplica Moon Stick is a full-scale reproduction aimed at adult collectors, a lot of details are put into it:
- inclusion of the silver crystal
- 7-colour LED
- sound recording by voice actress Kotono Mitsuishi
- specially made display stand
PROPLICA will be a new line for Bandai, the name comes from “prop” and “replica”. The concept of the “PROPLICA” brand is to introduce the latest technology in a collector’s item and to further pursue “realism” in adult-oriented products. The Moon Stick is only the beginning! From November 1-3, 2013, there will be 「魂ネイション2013」 events where the Moon Stick prototype will be exhibited.
Edit: If you want to get your preorder in early, Jlist has it available for $120.

Is that Sailor Moon Wand an import, domestic, or half of both?
Sailor Moon

Sailor Moon
The first season wand with the fake silver chrystal (usa one) (not the world version)

ahahaha
the japanese one went only for a 100 dollars……
I have so many toys I dont even need the adult versions..only if they will be like this… and I will hate my life ahaha

Really? I was watching an auction for the 1992 US version of the wand and it sold for over $150. Please show me where you’re seeing $10 moon sticks cuz I sure want one lol
Sailor La
Does anyone know when the last day to pre oder would be? I’ve seen some item ends the day before, the week before and even a month before the release date. I am going to be ordering from amazon, but the seller’s reply wasn’t very helpful …
Miriam
Is so amazing, but what is her price?
kawaookitsune
It depends where you’re purchasing form . retail price in japan is about ~95$ USD ?

hey lady,
thank you SO much for these updates! really! i loved sailor moon so much growing up – and still do – but i never had the money to collect these beautiful things. now, being an adult (kind of), i’m a little more flexible! i feel like i get a chance to bring back the best part of my childhood >^.^<
quick question – do you know anything about an american vs. japanese version of the proplica stick? i believe the s.h.figuarts had japanese and american versions. amazon.com has preorders now available (imported from japan), but do we know if this is an american/international version? should i care? it's free shipping…

You’re very welcome! 😀
I know what you mean, I think a lot of us are in that same boat that’s why they’re milking us for all we’re worth now hahaha XD
For the Figuarts it’s a little inconsistent. The JP Moon one didn’t have the international logo, but the JP Mercury does. Besides that there were no differences at all between JP and NA. There is an extra caution sticker on the NA ones I think. So based on that I don’t think there’ll be much significant difference for the wand.

I ran across this on Amazon.com Ships and Sold by Amazon up for pre-order right now. 94.99 Release in May. Came here to see if it is was up and if it was legit even.
Sailor Moon
I pre ordered it ! My old wand…..dunno wat to do with it lol!
but this one looks so much nicer
Melody
Well I totally preordered it. I couldn’t help myself. One thing I wonder though, what is the size? It says it’s scaled up for adult size but how big is that.
I so hope they make all the wands and lockets. I would go broke but I would probably get them all. I’ve been dying for a season 3 locket for ages!
Aaron Merkel
You’re right, I guess if the voices are done right, it will be awesome!! As long as they don’t sound bad in conjunction with whatever beautiful sounds the wand makes 😉
Aaron Merkel
I noticed on the website for the wand that you can play the wand sounds with or without the voices!!!!!!!!!!
sailor donut
Whoa. If that thing was in a store…
me: gimme that!* hands over cash* and don’t bother with change. * walks out*
salesperson:o.o
Sailor Moon

I’m really excited for new cosplay toys, but UGH, that price.
Bandai, I do have to pay rent and bills, you know.
nina
Do you think they’ll create PROPLICA Brooches, too? That would be so … OMG. o.o
smcollectibles
I sure hope so!!! All we know is there’s more coming 😀
Born-Critic
I’m sure they will. Come on, this stuff is a cash-cow :))
nina
skip stickers and stuff and hurry with producing the lockets, bandai! 😀
Sailor Moon
oooh noo please no only from the enternal brooch because that sounds like a microwave but please leave the other brooches alone XD
Sailor Moon
but the cosmic make up brooch like the chrystal star one for make up is cool i think that would be a nice replacement cant wait till preorder comes

This is pretty exciting- I owned the old moon wand (with the removable crystal) when I was younger, but I believe I sold it a long time ago. This one looks like a step up in quality, but not THAT much of a step up. For some reason the seam lines throw me off a little bit, and it looks to be completely plastic. If it has a nice weight to it, though, it might be okay…
I’m still on the fence though.. I like the stand it comes with, but I’m awaiting more details before I decide if I’m going to spring for it at that price!
Hillary
Hah, replying to my own comment- just wanted to add that I was talking about the North American version of the moon stick in my post- I just realized there was a Sailor Moon World version that looks even closer to the proplica. I’m guessing that wasn’t 90 bucks new…
I like that word “proplica” though! I was wondering what that “Coming Soon” tab was on the Figuarts website…
smcollectibles
Understandable! This price point isn’t for everyone which is kind of sad because new fans are probably turned off by it. I was expecting somewhere near $50..not almost double that’s for sure!
Sailor Moon
new fans … I can not even remember when sailor moon was new to me…ages ago XD
Gen
Oh, MAN! that moon stick is $198 in the shops! that’s, like, 4 times the price you were expecting! 🙁

I think the voice will be cute and it will be beautiful for display. I am hoping one button doesn’t mean one sound clip, with our advancements in technology, hopefully it makes other sounds based on motion or how you press the button.
Aaron Merkel
I don’t like when they have the voices in the toy because I am the one role–playing. I don’t want to hear someone else’s voice. DERP.
I have the Sailormoon Moon Stick from 2000, which is very similar to this one. So, maybe I won’t get this one…remains to be seen.
I am excited for high quality toys and for those who didn’t have a chance to get the original role-playing toys years ago, this is quite amazing.
Sailor Moon
thats why i might get the world version wand but I want the talismans grrr xd
Lori
So amazing ! Any idea about possible preorders?
smcollectibles
Nothing official yet, but I’m guessing preorders will start around January, 3 months in advance seems to be the norm.
Lol
I feel like for adult collectors translates too “We saw what insane prices you all were willing to pay for children’s toys so we decided to cash in with higher quality merch”. I ain’t complainin…
smcollectibles
haha that’s probably true XD
Sailor Moon
and then they say the children toy are more real collectors items and this one is a nice add to your collection ( that the americans do not have ) ^^^^
