Sailor Moon Disguise & Transformation Wand Pen Set 2014
A very exciting set of Sailor Moon Disguise & Transformation Pens have been announced today, these are items from the first season of the Sailor Moon anime. The inner senshi transformation pens have been highly anticipated since there have been no previous merchandise for them until now, except a 90s set of highlighters feature Sailor Moon’s disguise pen, Sailor Mercury & Sailor Mars’ transformation pens (Jupiter & Venus were never made). These are full-scale working ballpoint pens (black ink), very practical while doubling as RPG toys. They come in a sparkly box with a clear window so you can easily display them. The pens are in an elegant pearly finish and shiny gold, each measures around 16cm long.
This is part of the Prism Stationery product line by Sun-Star Stationery who also made the wand pointers, pencil cases, sticky notes, clearfiles, etc. Retail price for the set of 5 is 6,480 yen, it is scheduled for release in November 2014. If you live in Japan you can preorder here. If you live outside Japan you’ll need a deputy service, there is a quantity limit of 5.

i just checked on the premium bandai site that this set is made in china. just a heads up. there are a lot of sailor moon items that are made in china although they’re authentic.
Chi Lucas
THEY’RE OUT OF STOCK!!!! ;3;-cries in corner-
Vivian

smcollectibles
I think there’s a good chance they will!
Vivian

Aster
D: i am sad because i am trying to order from debuty sites but most of them have already sold out the limited quantity, do you know any other that still able to get one set?
smcollectibles
I don’t know of a lot, only the popular ones like Shoppingmalljapan and Noppin, they are probably out too 🙁

I’m getting so tired of everything I actually want being a “Premium Bandai” item. It really feels like they don’t care about the fans abroad. If it was a small company producing them I could understand it but this is BANDAI we’re talking about. They have more than enough resources to allow for international orders. I was looking forward to something like these but it seems like everyone is sold out.
Maureen
what is a deputy service and how do I use one? I really want to get these pens.
smcollectibles
They are businesses in Japan that will buy the item for you and ship internationally to your location, they charge commission for their services.
Arielle
Aww! The deputy service sold out of the 5 slots 🙁 Does that mean I can NEVER order this?
How soon do the slots come back open? Thanks!
smcollectibles
The slots won’t come back open unless Premium Bandai puts up another listing, then they will have another 5 slots.
Arielle
Thanks so much for answering my question ^_^. Since you are familiar with this sort of thing, do you think Premium Bandai would put up more listings or does it look like they won’t be putting up more listings until AFTER they release in November?
smcollectibles
No problem! The current PBandai listing hasn’t sold out yet so until then they won’t put up a second listing. It really depends on demand/sales/profit if they’ll do a second production run.
Arielle
Ohhh, I see, so it’s not PB, it’s the deputy service that reached its limit. 🙁 So, if Premium Bandai limits orders to only 5 and almost EVERY deputy service out there has used up their 5 slots, is there NO WAY to get the pens? Even if the Premium Bandai site itself has not sold out? I ask because there is an overwhelming number of people who would like to order, but if only 5 people get to use each deputy service, it seems like they would be missing out on a lot of money. I thought they might have multiple accounts or something… In other words, are the rest of us just out of luck? By the way, thanks for all of the extensive information on the site. You are my definitive source for Sailor Moon info! ^_~
smcollectibles
Some deputies do have multiple accounts, FromJapan doesn’t because it’s technically against the rules. There are also Japanese resellers who buy just to sell at a profit. I’m sure there will be many listings on eBay/Yahoo Japan. But besides that..yeah 🙁 very difficult for people outside Japan.
Sailor Moon
you can order them on ebay but that is a fhew more dollars
Sailor Moon
I have so many luna pens , but maybe theres hope for the neptune uranus and pluto rods 🙂 they did this too so kawaii
mel
I’ve read that they have shining lights? Is that possible??? ^^? Looks like not, maybe only the Luna pen on the top?
smcollectibles
These ones don’t have lights, just pens ^^
SamKiu
Hello, its all in japanese that web side, can i change in english?
Momo
I’m seeing a lot of PRE order options on eBay. I got my spiral wand pen on eBay and lucked out. However, seeing lots of different descriptions for this set online.
A few say it’s made by Sun star but made in China. Should I be concerned? Are these made in Japan? What red flags should I look for to avoid getting fakes?
AmiRijo
If they are not from Japan they are not the official merchandise. My friend ordered all of the SH figuart dolls from one seller and they were not official branded merchandise and were very very poor quality. She paid a lot for them too. I would just stick with reps with high positive reviews listed in japan.
twinzluvagrl
i checked the premium bandai site and it says the pens are made in china.
itzel
YesAsia.com has them for preorder but it ran out quick. Now to wait for the next available slot 🙁
Vanessa
How much were they selling them for?
Sailor Anna
I would like to know at what price they were sold from YesAsia too. They will come back available?
Usagi
Im from México, and I have tried once to use a deputy service but I couldn’t do it… I didn’t know if the slots were all used or just I didn’t do it right… Buaaaaaaaaaaaaaa I’m so dummie !!! Probably I need that… “How to order from deputy service fur dummies” hahahahahahahahaha
smcollectibles
Hi there, I hope you can understand my point of view but I’m a little uncomfortable with advertising your shopping service here without reaching out to me first so I can know the service more. Mainly because I don’t know you guys, I’ve never heard of your shop/service, I haven’t seen any customer feedback. A lot of these items are preorders months in advance, so it’s out of the Paypal protection period. I’m just worried if there was ever a problem and someone saying they found you from my site..I try to only recommend shops I’ve personally used and can vouch for. I hope you understand I’m just trying to protect my site and its users. If you’d like to discuss further, please feel free to contact me directly. Thank you! 🙂
Alita
Sorry, your response never popped up anywhere so I didn’t notice it until now. You can check out the feedback on his business page and feel free to email me.
He isn’t a deputy service, persee, just one thing that he can and does do. Trying to negotiate with Premium bandai to get a true connection with them and if we eventually can, I help out as my language ability is much higher, that will be great for international fans.
smcollectibles
No worries and that’s great news! I hope you guys can work something out with Premium Bandai, I would be happy to help spread the word! It’s so hard for everyone outside Japan to order the quantity limited items.
Alita
Yeah I know. And getting Bandai past the scripted responses of “These are only for personal sale in Japan. Anything else is against our rules.” And then pointing them to yahoo auctions to show the outrageous prices, as well as other big businesses (but still buying as if proxies, not directly from Bandai like J-list, Yes Asia, CD Japan, etc…) doing the same thing but charging a lot more (A LOT LOT in Yes asia’s ase) and trying to point out that they are using multiple accounts and doing the same, yet we want to set something up yeah… it’s not easy to do with a Japanese business. I’ll just keep semi-formally explaining things, we have 2 legit accounts (and one third is name too, that one might be at risk if we can’t work things out) until maybe they get it through their heads that Japan is not a closed country anymore so yes things are going to be sold outside of it whether they want them to be or not.
Right now, hubby is gonna try for the lingerie on Friday, no guarantees but if you want to check his page and reviews out and know anyone who might be interested, just let him know. It’d be first come first served, don’t pay unless order is completed type of deal (cuz they don’t ship until next March so even if someone backs out there’s plenty of time to find a replacement) I am hoping beyond hope the site doesn’t crash so I can get the Uranus lingerie and Mercury school uniform.
Alex
I’ve never ordered from a deputy service before so I have a quick question about that. Do we order it after it comes out? On the site you recommend on here we would just search the item and order it through them correct?
I used to use color pencils and markers in place of these wands when i pretended to transform when i was younger. My childhood is coming full circle so this is making ms SO happy!
smcollectibles
No you order as soon as the preorder is up to make sure you get stock, some of these sell out very fast.
Nyxity
I hope they are still around when I have the money… I’m so broke… why?!?!?!
They are very gorgeous! <3
Shea
Does any one know a good deputy service and I’ve never used one before and I looked at From Japan and I couldn’t find them ><
smcollectibles
Some other popular ones are Shoppingmalljapan, Noppin and Rinkya.
shewasking
Yeah, I need these. I don’t know if I can successfully pull off the deputy service. (I’m a pretty special person.)
Danielle
I second that, I’ve never bought anything through a deputy service and I’m a bit worried to do so in case I screw up the order somehow.
jenna
Do you have us prices
Lillian
6,480 Yen would be around $65 Give or take. But after Shipping, odds are it will be around $70.
Ricci
Yeah just sent in to From Japan to get it ^ ^ Surprised they hadn’t run out of the 5 spots yet.
The lord is really testing me to spend all my money u_u
Millicent
Totally going to be getting this although I just received the moonlight memory release of the luna pen
Rain
do u think they will sell them individually?
smcollectibles
hmm probably not? really hard to guess and it will probably depend on sales
Nyxity
I love how two days after you made mention of original pens, this popped up. 😀
Rene
I want those! They’re gorgeous!
smcollectibles
I’m really happy they finally made a complete set!! :’)
Bunny
I’m having a little trouble with the deputy service in ordering mine…can you help?
smcollectibles
Which deputy service are you using? If it’s FromJapan they are out of the 5 qty slots so they won’t be able to order.
Bunny
WOW they sold out fast then…! Aww…I was so happy to get my set too…I hope they come out with more soon…Do you know where else I can order some?
Thanks
Vanessa
I’m confused. Does that mean I can’t order with that service now? I just want to get one set but I was waiting to get paid first…
Sailor Moon
me too 🙂 but the old set gives me the nostalgia of the old anime, so if u find it buy it
