Sailor Moon Cosmic Heart Compact Proplica
Here comes the 6th Sailor Moon Proplica toy..the Cosmic Heart Compact!!!! It is a beautifully made 1:1 replica targeted at adult women (their words not mine!). It has metallic shiny paint so it’ll look just like the real thing. The compact can light up and play music. The crystal inside emanates soft pink light while the top half of the ribbons are multicoloured with LED lights. It plays background music and sound effects from the anime plus new recordings by Kotono Mitsuishi. The volume can be adjusted 4 levels. The Cosmic Heart lid can be completely removed/unhinged to reproduce the transformation scene, just like with the Crystal Star Proplica. This compact measures around 10cm x 10cm x 5cm. It will require 3 LR44 batteries which are not included. Preorder starts October 29. The retail price is 7,020 yen and it’s scheduled for release in May 2016. Stay tuned for more information and preorder links!
What do you guys think?! I’m glad they’re staying faithful to the red colour, and I personally like the big heart mirror instead of the usual small circle ones! YAYYY!!! ^_^
You can preorder this at Premium Bandai using a deputy service: step by step guide. Please note there’s a quantity limit of 24! It looks like this Proplica will be Premium Bandai exclusive in Japan for some reason 🙁 but I think Bluefin will still distribute it in North America since they mentioned it on their Facebook.

I wish they used this same red on the Rainbow Moon Chalice and the Spiral Heart Moon Rod. All three are a set, yet they have very different shades of red. The Chalice uses a very dark red, and then Spiral Heart Moon Rod’s is almost that dumb magenta color. I really don’t understand why they like using it. Thank god this isn’t. The Spiral Heart Moon Rod is the correct color in the promotional images, but a completely different color in real life. Oh well, it beats paying $800+ each for the original toys. These are better anyway.
I really hope they won’t be asses and make all future Proplica’s PB exclusive too. The whole concept behind PB is so stupid anyway. They act like they care about international fans, yet make us jump through flaming hoops when we’re still interested in buying their overpriced plastic. If they want to have their “exclusive premium” crap, at least make sure everything is actually produced in that quality.

I’ve already ordered and paid for the Cosmic Heart Proplica, but am I the only one a little disappointed with it?
I love the Proplica line and thus far my only problem has been that I would’ve preferred the Crystal Star be pearlescent pink instead of chrome pink, but there’s a lot I don’t like about this one, which is a big shame because S is my favourite season and I’m super excited that we’re getting Proplicas of all three of Sailor Moon’s “S” items.
Still, the light-up crystal should be bigger in the center of the brooch, the stars shouldn’t be touching the ribbons on the side and the crown should be higher up. Further more, there should be blue on some of the ribbons or they should’ve made the light behind them blue. I’d also have liked if the gem shone throughout the transformation, rather then just in beats, considering how awesome the Crystal Star’s lights were. Most erringly, accuracy-wise, though, is that the back of the brooch should be red, not pink. Heck, they even have a screenshot from the anime of her holding the brooch showing the red back on the website, right next to them talking about how accurate it is. These all normally sound like nit-picks, but for a line specifically based around accuracy its a little annoying.
However, my biggest disappointment is the lack of a changeable cover. Considering that part of the brooch’s gimmick is that the lid can be removed there is no excuse as to why they didn’t also include a pink lid as well as a red one, to represent how the brooch looks when she’s Super Sailor Moon. As a premium Bandai Exclusive you’re already paying more then normal, so it would’ve been really nice if they had gone that extra mile and made it really something special. I know the original anime was almost Crystal-level bad of consistency with the color of Super Sailor Moon’s brooch, but its usually remembered as being pink and I’d have liked this release to give us the option. Although I suspect we’ll be getting a pink “Super Sailor Moon” version somewhere down the line for the same price, effectively forcing those of us like me that have no self control to buy the same toy twice.
Still, I’m happy it is getting released, but this thing has cost me $110 AUD after shipping, so I would’ve liked a really perfect release like the Moon Stick and Cutie Moon Rod were, which both went above and beyond what I was expecting.
Sorry for the venting!
Sailor Mademoiselle
what does accuracy matter when the thing is 10x10cm? xD
size alone prevents it from being a replica and renders it to just a SM brooch-themed music box.
James
The brooch was never exactly small, I don’t think the size is necessarily a problem.
Sailor Mademoiselle
Not exactly small from a shortie 14-years old japanese girl to hold it in 1 hand without struggling?
Same toy from 90s was already enormous.
Here is a pic of it used for cosplay:

Here is a pic of moonlight memory compact (same size) being held in hand:
https://vk.com/photo-1108386_326941269
The 95 toy measures 9.8×9.8cm, the 2015 toy measures 10x10cm. They actually made it BIGGER than 20 years ago.
Plus all SM brooches were drawn to be roughly same size, but this one is 30% bigger than the crystal star. So the 2 proclicas won’t even look like a set, or same kind of item, when sitting on a shelf next to each other.
So much for the “proplica” being such a proud name.
Sakurie
Pre-ordered From Japan – btw I love this service! As an Australian, if I buy it through a US company the shipping is a killer! But shipping from japan is usually pretty reasonable thanks so much ^.^
Kelvena Skyewind
Yeah and it’s surprisingly easy too! The best part is that buying these Sailor Moon items from other websites like J – List and whatnot kills the wallet lol I bought some items from J List before and they add like 40$ + to the original price o_O buying directly like that is way cheaper
Kelvena Skyewind
Yeah never mind about the link I put there … I preorder from From Japan too as soon as the link was up in case …
Ricci
Went ahead and ordered with From Japan. Don’t want to wait to see about Bluefin. Plus FJ has that 5% off thing going on as long as you pay before the 30th, so it’s not such a bad price after fees.
Marina
I am really happy that they are releasing the cosmic heart compact but I’m a bit disappointed. First of all: IT IS HUGE!!! The crystal star was/is too big and this one is even bigger! 10 cm!!! So I really can’t say it is 1:1 scale. :/ The gems should have been swarowski crystal too, like the crystal star compact. Those details are nice. And the bottom should be red, like in the anime. And lastly I really hope the rainbow lights won’t be orange only and that the photo just got captured at that moment. Yikes! There should be blue, green, purple tones as well! They could have left it just gold or silver (without lights) in my opinion though.
Sailor Mademoiselle
Think the lights on the ornament aren’t really shades of orange either, it’s just a single green lamp behind orange “glass” that makes illusion of shades of orange.
My gripe is that whn the crystal star had the silver crystal light up is a variety of colors, this one not only limits it to pink only, it doesn’t even has it glow – it stays unlit most of the time, and only blinks occasionally.
Rather than that, there should have been a varied strenght of the light, like it glows softly at all times, and then blinks with light full-power ocasionally.
About the gems, I think it’s all about the powder compact, why crystal star had all gems, when this one has just a plastic circle in the middle. About the size too.
Crystal star proplica had an expesive powder compact released before it, so it had to up the quality somewhat than otherwise, so the procpilca doesn’t lose to the powder too much in appearance. So they made it all gems and slightly smaller than the 90s toy.
But for cosmic heart there is no expensive powder to compare it with, so they decided they dont have to improve the 90s toy too much, and made it same size and gem-less.
The joke it actually the tiny candy case of the cosmic heart they forgot about when making this proplica, the lid on that is the ultimate lid for this brooch.
So without the powder, this cosmic heart proplica will be compared to the candy case, and that tiny thing will succeed to be more detailed and gemmed, while being 20 times smaller.
This will serve as an eye-opener to many people that this proplica line was never about quality replicas, but just remaking the 90s toys with slight improvements as if they weren’t cheap toys from the 90s, but cheap toys from the 2010s.
Leilani
Sweet. I wish the moon on the lid was raised more like the original and that that bottom part was red.
Elee-Chan
I want to buy them but i don’t know where.
Dano
Oh! THANK GOD it is bigger than the Crystal Star Compact, i kinda wish now the jewels were sort of different, still it’s sooo pretty!!!
TPL
absolutely gorgeous, i cannot wait to add this to my collection.
i’m keeping my fingers crossed that the interior ribbons light up with a rainbow effect when activated, but it looks like the same gold finish from the crystal star is used. i really want a red back for accuracy (http://moon-shadow-1985.deviantart.com/art/Moon-Cosmic-Heart-Compact-1992-Anime-437605200) but i’m so happy with the red front! =]
Corey
Well, it’s not completely truthful to the anime. The inside details should either be silver or rainbow coloured. The gem inside looks like it’s lit up though… I thought the post said no lights?
David
The post never said that there would be no lights…. Also the top parts of the ribbon details DO and WOLL light up. But unfortunately it’s only the top parts on the sides with the shooting stars. But it’s better than nothing I guess.
Rin
Ooo it looks really thin!! Much prefer that to chunky stuff. It’s more legit because it’s more conceivable that Usagi could actually wear it as a brooch C:

OH YES!!!! BABY my favourite locket!!

Its targeted at adult Fans not only women ^_~

This is what it says: バンダイ初の大人の女性に向けた本格的玩具ブランド『PROPLICA(プロップリカ)』

Japanese can be very mysoginists sometimes, even if they seem not doing that on purpose
Mighto
Ahhh its a transaltion. I thought its your own description =)
I-chan
It looks awesome!
Buuuuut again, non-faceted gems. Ever since the Crystal Star Proplica, I expected faceted gems to be the norm… Are they going to be the exception?
Kelvena Skyewind
I’m still hoping for Chibi Moon’s compact and wand along with a Black Lady Pullip D=
Sally
YESSSSSS!!!! IT’S RED!!!
Joseph
I’m so excited for this proplica, S was my favorite season! I wonder when they do the Super S items if the Crisis Compact will come with Chibi Moon’s compact too?
jose luis

La Vara real Sailor Moon, 3: el Crystal Stars, 4: La Vara Lunar del Corazón, 5: El Cáliz del Santo Grial, 6: el broche Corazón Cósmico compacto. y 7: y en junio del 2016 a ver si tan seguido se pone a la venta la Estrella Encantada con la melodía de la Luz de La Luna.a mi me gustaría que en este 2016 se fabricaran por lo menos dos objetos más hacia final de año, ejemplo: Moon Crisis Compacto, y Moon Kaleidoscope y que la señora Naoko Takeuchi o Bandai o quien de la orden en 2017 de fabricar de una santa vez el Moon Eternal Article.Muchas Gracias y hasta pronto.

SailorPao
Pienso lo mismo, hasta ahora tengo todos solo me falta el cáliz, pero es que me compre el de fragancia con el tamaño real, perooooo estoy esperando que anuncien las proplicas de eternal
Kat in the Hat
ooooooOOOOOOoooooooOOOOOOOO!!!!
Dano
Oh my goooooood, oh my goooooood, OMGGGGGG
It’s here!!!!! it’s finally here 😀 so incredible, and i am SO happy that it’ll be red 😀 sometimes i imagined that if they did this one i’d like them to do a double “cover” one red and one pink for when she is Super Sailor Moon (pink, not magenta), but i’m okay with this, it looks very pretty!!! and like you say i’m very glad that it’ll be a full mirror instead of just a circle. 😀
But still… i wonder WHEN is the Starlit Sky Orgel (Star Locket) will be released :/ I NEED that one, oh and a transformation brooch proplica too 😀 so happy that we have so many proplicas coming up!!! my wallet won’t be so hhapy tho lol.
Leenie
There are two things that I’m a sucker for when it comes to Sailor Moon merchandise: Sailor Jupiter stuff … And Cosmic Heart Compact stuff (what can I say, it’s easily my favorite brooch).
So, am I getting this? HELL YES!
Matt
We’re also getting proplicas much more frequently at last! First it was a year between them, then 6 months, then 3 months, and now it’s looking like it’s steadying out at 3 months (though there’s only 1 month between this compact and the star locket which comes out in June ’16).
Matt
So glad this is next! And is it me, or does it look like it might be less bulky then the fat crystal star compact?
Tito
I got that impression as well!
I-chan
Why is everyone saying so? Look at the reflection, it is just as think as the Crystal Star. Where did you expect the electronics to be otherwise?
Princess Monster
Finally! I’ve been waiting on this compact (or at least hoping they’d release it) forever! I just wish May wasn’t such a long time away…
smcollectibles
haha it’ll be here before you know it!! and in between there’ll be 100000 different things to occupy our hearts (and wallets) *_*
Sakurie
Omg yes! I love the proplica line…so much nicer than the moonlight memory one (for the lockets anyway). So excited! Take my money Bandai!!! <3
Andreas
Great news but I don’t like the “targeted for adult woman”.
Enough male SM fans here who collect the proplica as well. 😉
Why has merchandise to be gender specific?
smcollectibles
Yeah I don’t know why they like to include that, it’s just a compact replica..pretty gender neutral!
Crisis13
Surely because it’s a heart shaped compact , and you know hearts are only for women (ironic) xp
Tito
I definitely agree on that! I am male as well.
Kiki
Because its Japan, and sailor moon is considered for women there. Men like it, but they are saying it appeals to adult women as a selling point to the overwhelming target demographic there in japan, adult women. Saying that conveys it is designed for a woman’s concerns and aesthetics with the details vs a boys…. Only USA is big on PC nonsense. Buy it because you like it of course~. The way they phrase things should be of no concern. 😛
Hillary
It’s not PC “nonsense”- JP is just behind on gender equality. Not that the US is in a perfect place, but yeah. Anyhow, I hope you guys enjoy your heart compacts when they come out! I’m so glad it’s red!!
Kate
Lol because Japan.
Aaron merkel
They announce so early. Sucks waiting.
David
At least we’ll have the spiral heart moon rod and rainbow moon chalice to occupy us while we wait for it.
Anaiyah
YASSSSSSSSSS! I can’t wait until they release videos of it. A mighty need. Thank Luna it’s red and not pink (that bugged me, idk why).
…a *little* disappointed the bottom is pink tho’. C’mon, a golden bottom would’ve been so much cooler.
Rue
It has a pink bottom in the anime tho, so it makes sense that it’s pink ^^
Céline
I’m so excited that the photos imply that they’re sticking to the original red color!! The inside looks really gorgeous, as well, and you’re right – the larger mirror makes it look more adult-like yet cool! Can’t wait! ^^
Rue
It’s pink in the anime so it makes sense that it’s pink ^^
Crisis13
No, it’s redin the anime. It turn pink only when she is in her super form ^^
Rue
lol yeah my phone messed up and I replied to the wrong comment lol but yeah I’m happy it’s Red but why on earth is it premium bandai???
M.S.
Definitely buy one. But WHAT?! P-Bandai?
Then the SHF Black Lady would be too. /_\
Sakurie
Sorry where does it say it’s Premium Bandai? I can’t see it on their site either…
M.S.
It does. 🙂
“プレミアムバンダイ内、魂ウェブ商店での受注販売となります。”
M.S.
The SH figuarts Black Lady is also mentioned in the same post in the official website. But it seems no one talks about it. XD
Scarlet
So excited, can’t wait!
bunny
I thought the star locket was supposed to come out in June of 2016, whatever happened to that?
Anzamyu
Its already out you must of mistaken the dates..
Biotic
No, it’s not out. The Star Locket you’re thinking of is the Moonlight Memories Series, not Proplica.
Moonlight Memory Series is a music box that you must manually wind up instead of being electronic.
Katherine Ellis
It came out in March
Matt
As far as we know it is still scheduled for June ’16, only a month after this.
David
To be honest, that photo of the proplica star locket prototype was never meant to be photographed. And I’m guessing this is one of many reasons why, so people don’t get confused when they see a sneak peek of an item that hasn’t been officially announced.m but end up getting something else before it instead. I’m sure it will be released soon. But bandai and tamashii nations probably have a list in a set order that they are following that helps them decide when to release the proplicas.
Yukabunny
The original mention of the Proplica release was a mistake. They were not supposed to reveal the date until this year, as it is slated to be released either late this year or next, from what I have heard.
