1995 Bandai Made in China
This is the official North American release of the first season brooch.
Fun fact: If you look closely at the images on the box, it is actually the R season Crystal compact pictured! You can see the star points at the edges of the compact. The inside is actually a replica of the Crystal Compact, as we never actually saw the inside of this compact.

1995 Bandai Made in China
This is a small jewelry box with comes with a ring in the center and a small heart necklace on a pink string. Many believe it is based on Sailor V's Crescent Compact. As you can see, one of the gems is missing on mine.

This version appears almost purple-pink compared to the Japanese one.

Bandai 1992 Made in Japan
The gold finish on this one looks more yellow to me. I hope to replace my Japanese one for one in better condition.

Bandai Asia 1995
One of the first RP items I ever bought, and probably my most cherished.
I bought this while I was a freshman in high school for $50, a steal compared to the prices now.
Winds up and plays the tune as in the series. An important symbol of Serenity and Endymion's love! There are six versions of this locket.

This is the European release of this item. It has German writing all over the box, but the instructions that come with it have many languages including French and English.
I bought this not knowing it was in pretty bad shape, but it still works so I'm satisfied for now. It's on my list of things to potentially replace. This pen is rather expensive for only being able to light up!

Bandai 1993 Made in Japan
Right: World Version ©武内直子・講談社・テレビ朝日・東映アニメーション Bandai 2001 Made in China
Once I bought the Japanese version I sold the World Version MIB to a fellow collector who focuses on the SM World line of goods. I prefer the Japanese version because it is the original version and is more accurate to the series.
This is a small replica of the Silver Crystal in its orb form. It comes with it's own little pouch and paper.
It was given out at the premier of the SMR movie in Japan.
At one point I had two of these and kept the one in better condition with the box, but apparently I may have been a "bad" collector and placed a non-Irwin version in the Irwin box!
I suspect that my current version may be the Chinese/Bandai Asia version.

(There really is a bolded box area on the rod copyright information molded into the wand)
The Irwin version apparently has the following:

Bandai 1993 Made in Japan
It lights and sounds! I thought that mine was broken when I got it because I could not get it to work, on a whim I decided to try it again months later and I got it working.

Bandai 1994 Made in Japan
Left: the very first one of these I ever bought. As a collector I'd love to have all of my items in pristine condition, but my budget will only stretch so far. I don't really have a problem buying rare things in "not so good" condition because they will be cheaper. I replace them later if I find a better condition version at a reasonable price, as seen on the right. I always wonder how they ended up this way, I usually hope it's a result of a lot of playing with by a child who loved it and carried it around everywhere. ^_^

Bandai 1994 Made in China
The inside has a holographic picture of Neo-Queen Serenity with the Kingdom in the background. Apparently the Chinese release has an image of Princess Serenity, but the same copyright information.
The sounds this item plays are not very good quality for some reason.

Bandai 1994 Made in China
I am not sure which version mine is, it may be a Chinese release or the dark blue box Irwin version.
a.k.a "Holy Grail"
©武内直子・講談社・テレビ朝日・東映動画
Bandai 1994 Made in China
This is the original Japanese release, it is the only version which has raised gems and it will play continuously if left open.
It is very lovely and highly sought after, often the loose versions will have some broken points on the crown at the top, thankfully mine are still in tact!
®&© 2001 N.T./K., T.A. Irwin Toy Limited
Made in China
Comes with a stand. It will light and sound and even has a motion sensor to activate it.
This was given to me by a friend years ago. Last time I tried it would not work, I'm guessing due to corrosion in the battery compartment. I plan to clean it up and try again soon.

Bandai 1995 Made in China
I am not exactly sure which version this is as many of them have the same copyright information stamped on the back. As you can see, this is another one of my "beaten up" compacts, but I love it anyway.
©武内直子・講談社・テレビ朝日・東映動画Bandai 1995 Made in China
This is basically the same as the Japanese version, but it does not have the IRS function.
©T・K・TA・T Bandai 1995 Made in China
The original Japanese release has IRS sender abilities and a small "bulb" for it in the very top of the wand. I believe mine is the original version but I will need to test it again to be sure.
a.k.a. "Crystal Twinkle Bell"
©武内直子・講談社・テレビ朝日・東映動画
Bandai 1995 Made in Japan
I believe there is only the Japanese release of this item.
When you turn it on you must shake it while holding the button on the handle to make the "bell" ring.
©T・K・TA・T Bandai 1995 Made in Japan # 47653
I am not sure what the extra number is after the copyright information, it could be a mold reference # or a patent #?
This wand is an IRS sender. It comes with four interchangeable face plates for each inner senshi.

Bandai 1995 Made in China
This is an IRS Receiver which means that when it is turned on, an IRS sender can activate it to start making lights and sounds.
There are miniature Pegasus and senshi figures on the inside. The only big flaw with mine is that I am missing the Sailor Venus figure.
This is highly sought after and difficult to find with the box and all figures.
Eternal Tier©武内直子・講談社・テレビ朝日・東映アニメーション Bandai 1999 Made in Japan #73606
Thanks to some fellow collectors I believe that mine is the World version of this wand.

Bandai 1996 Made in Japan #53900
I have the box for this item but it is sun-damaged. It lights up and plays sounds.
The neat thing about this is that it can detach from its stand and you can attach it to the Eternal Tier. There is also a third piece that will attach to these to make the extended version of the tier. The third piece is incredibly rare and expensive though.
Sailor Star Yella.k.a. Starlights Attack Star

Bandai 1996 Made in Japan
Plays many different tunes/sounds and lights up, you can combine the sounds as you play with it.

Bandai 1996 Made in Japan
#53564 and there's some type of stamped number/letter wheel that points to a 6 on mine.
Lights up as you talk into the microphone.
Oh wow this is so good!! Its really interesting to go through and read your notes and compare items using the copyright info! Great site!!

ReplyDeleteI am trying to find the Holy Moon Chalice, but no one on ebay or amazon is selling it. I loved the eternal series and plan to start slowly building up to owning the entire rod, do you know anyone who is willing to sell theirs?
