So the new Sailor Moon Crystal has been out for a week. I find it depressing that I haven't watched it yet because the last few episodes have sucked so much I'm betting this one will suck too.

On a more positive note, my Proplica Cutie Moon Rod arrived! Its really quite awesome, although I actually thought the end was a lot bigger on the show. Watching scenes, I'm thinking it may just be because she pointed it straight at the camera so often.

One complaint though, the handle part is freaking fragile. Its hollow and light and all the weight of the electronics and batteries is straight in the Moon at the top. You won't be swinging it around like she does in the anime without the end snapping right off. Also loved the "WARNING! CHROME MAY RUB OFF" in the instructions. That really made me confident, especially considering you have to pull apart the big chrome ball at the end to get to the batteries and on/off switch!



Holding it like this and swinging it is a death warrant for your toy. There's no way that if you swing it by holding on the end like she does the end won't snap right off and go flying!

I'm loving the Proplica line though! I know the Moon Stick sold really well so I'm hoping this does equally good! I want my Spiral Heart Rod and Eternal Tiare!

The Cutie Moon Rod has a special place in my heart though! I remember when I was a little kid and Sailor Moon was on Fox Kids and Mum said I could choose a toy to buy and I decided on Bandai's Moon Sceptre and my Mum said it was the girliest thing she had ever seen and to pick something else! Makes me very happy to be able to own a true replica as an adult.
