Cracks knuckles, are y'all ready for things I'm excited about, but nobody else wants to see? It's time for more Universal Japan Sailor Moon merch.
So this is everything I bought this time. I spent an absurd amount of money buying through a proxy service but my god it was worth it.
This was actually the last thing I ordered and I got lucky that they bought a few extra to have as in stock items, as I missed out on the preorder.
But it's the Rainbow Moon Chalice, and in series this is the item that allows Sailor Moon to transform into Super Sailor Moon, but for the event they made it a cup, and I just. I never buy like souvenir cups from anywhere anymore, but this was too good to pass up. So the straw at the top is rubber and can fold down to fit inside the top. It's a very shallow cup but honestly I doubt I'm gonna actually drink from it. This is all for the novelty.
This is Universal Heart Compact, and it's the attraction item. So with batteries (AAA) it'll light up and interacts with the 4D show, much like the wand did last year. The difference being this year's item lights up with all 10 senshi's colors versus last year's which only had the five colors of the inner senshi. (For those unaware the inners are Moon, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter and Venus. The rest are considered outers plus Chibimoon.)
This is prolly my favorite item out of everything I bought, followed closely by the Chalice. But this is Luna P and she is a snack container. Last year they had these too, however they we're exclusive to those who purchased Express passes, and we're significantly smaller. I believe they came with small hard candy, but I'm not sure as I didn't get last year's. This year's is A LOT BIGGER and came with some marshmallow candies and cookies.
Starting from the left, there's the Chibimoon marshmallow candies, which are strawberry marshmallow with a chocolate inside. The strawberry marshmallow is really good, I don't like chocolate so I can't speak much on it but it's really light and fluffy. Like the stuff you find in a 3 musketeers. Next is the Luna P cookies, these are like a sugar covered shortbread cookie, like the ones you find in those cookie tins at Christmas. They're plain flavored and are really good. The last are the Prism Heart Compact ones and they're the same type of cookie but they're supposed to be strawberry flavored. I didn't taste any strawberry so it was disappointing, but they're still really good. (And before anyone asks, yes the whole thing was sealed before I tried anything. And this just opened up so everything is well within date)
The last thing I got were just plush keychains. I only want Chibimoon, and my friend was willing to split it with me. There's nothing too fancy about these. They're a large keychain plush and they ugly but cute and I like them and that's what matters.
Anyways thank you for reading or just ignoring my rambling. I'm very excited to own all of this useless merch that means so much to me. Japan parks have some of the best merchandise out there and I'm so thankful Sailor Moon got to come back to this year's Cool Japan event.
(Also fun fact for anybody interested in USJ, USJ also holds the rights to use Snoopy and Sesame Street inside it's park. And I think that's neat)
