Animé Junk Wish List

Every nerd has her needs and I am no different. For your amusement and possible edification, I present my list of animé-themed white whales. The images seen here come from various auctions I have either lost or couldn't afford to bid on, sundry online retailers and the website Shoujo Toys!



SD16 Yukinojo Sawaragi
Volks

With his $1200 price tag - And that's before the scalpers get a hold of him! - Yukinojo is the grand high white elephant of my list. An impossible romance, but he sure is pretty.

Special Rainy K
ElfDoll

Another impossibly hard to come by limited edition resin pretty boy. I never seem to like boy dolls that are regular stock, but look at him! The angst, I love it!

Cerberus Project Delf Lishe
Luts

The first little resin friend to catch my eye and become an enduring fascination. How else can a month's rent last forever?

D.O.T. Shall
Dream of Doll

Opinions on this company's work seem to be hit-or-miss, but she's so beautiful I'm willing to risk it.

Tasuki plush UFO doll
Fushigi Yuugi

The elusive UFO doll incarnation of my favorite FY character. I've only seen it in person one time, and for auction only two or three times.

Touga Kirryuu plush UFO doll
Shoujo Kakumei Utena

The elusive UFO doll incarnation of my favorite male Utena character. It used to go on Ebay regularly for very high prices, but hasn't been seen even there in several years.

Memory of Gaea artbook
The Vision of Escaflowne


ISBN: 4-07-305403-1 Great cel art, character profiles and mech designs.

Pen-Pen plush doll
Neon Genesis Evangelion

I am convinced this is not the UFO catcher, which I managed to acquire in 2004, but a larger cousin. I've never sighted it in person or online, sadly, so I may be suffering from hallucinations.

Yoshitaka Amano Tarot Card Illustrations
artbook


ISBN: 4415087094 At one time I had the actual deck, but I found I appreciate the artwork more for itself than for divination purposes.

Sunrise Art Works TV & Movie
The Vision of Escaflowne

ISBN: 4-8354-4023-4 A complete collection of mechanical, character, and art designs from the TV series and the movie.

Doujinshi artbook
Vampire Princess Miyu

By Narumi Kakinouchi. Character sketches and developmental designs for the Vampire Princess Miyu TV series.

Wakaba's Sheep Cups
Shoujo Kakumei Utena

The only evidence I ever saw of this set's existence was a completed Ebay auction. The pictures had long been deleted by the time I saw it, though, so the animé image is all there is. Finding it again will be an absolute miracle, no pun intended.

Irwin Sailor Saturn 11" Doll
Sailor Moon Super

I have the other three Irwin Outer senshi dolls, why not this one? She's cute! ^_^

Bandai Pluto Lip Rod/Wand
Sailor Moon Super

While my skills have grown to the point that I could make a high-quality replica without ten year old lip gloss going rancid inside, there's just something special about having the *official* wand.

Bandai Garnet Orb Talisman
Sailor Moon S

Pluto is my favorite senshi, and this is the coup de grace of Pluto-related merchandise.

Bandai Neptune Lip Rod/Wand
Sailor Moon S

See my previous comment about the Pluto lip wand. :)

Bandai Deep Aqua Mirror Talisman
Sailor Moon S

This one is less coveted now that I have a brass replica antique which is pretty darn close and much classier, but I wouldn't say no if I found it for a reasonable price.

Bandai Heart Locket
Sailor Moon S

The S season is my favorite, and I always found this to be the prettiest of Sailor Moon's brooches.

Bandai Heart Moon Locket
Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon

It's Sailor Moon. And it lights up! XD

Bandai Moonlight Stick
Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon

It's the completeist in me. I have almost all the other Sailor Moon wands. ^^;

Bandai Transformation Lockets
Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon

Yes, I want all five.

Visual Arts Collection
Final Fantasy X

ISBN: 4-88787-007-8. Hardcover art book with CG and drawn illustrations.

Tea Cup & Saucer
Shoujo Kakumei Utena

This set exists, I swear! It was for sale at a UK-based online animé retailer for a short time when I was too broke to buy, and now appears once in a great while on EBay.
