Merchandise Tidbits – October 29th, 2008

In this update:
Macross Frontier Sheryl’s Earring
Kuroshitsuji Ciel Phantomhive’s Eyepatch
Kuroshitsuji Sebastian’s Lapel Pin
And of course, blurbs at the end.

Macross Frontier Sheryl’s Earring

- Preorder has opened for the official replica of Sheryl’s earring from Macross Frontier. It measures about 80mm long and it is made of artisan glass and nickel with silver plating. The earring is scheduled to be released in late November and is set to sell in singles, not pairs. One earring will cost 3,150 yen.
- After seeing a whole ton of badly fan-made Sheryl earrings on eBay and Y! Auction, finally the real thing comes out. It’s gorgeous, but the price tag is a bit too steep for me. I might get it if I ever manage to sell off other goods that I don’t need… From the looks of it, the earring is only available through Movic. I’m going to keep checking with Animate and see if they’ll carry it, too.

Kuroshitsuji Ciel Phantomhive’s Eyepatch

- Continuing the run of somewhat overpriced goods, the official Ciel Phantomhive eyepatch from Kuroshitsuji is currently in stock. The eyepatch is roughly 70mm wide and tall. It retails for 2940 yen and it is made of pleather. As a neat (and often unnoticed) finishing touch, the emblem of a crown is embossed into the eyepatch.
- Have I said that I’m somewhat moe for eyepatches? Unfortunately, due to the high cost of this item, I probably won’t get it until I am earnest in doing a Ciel cosplay.

Kuroshitsuji Sebastian’s Lapel Pin

- For a more reasonable price at 945 yen, you can pick up a cosplay replica of Sebastian’s Phantomhive house lapel pin. It measures about an inch tall without counting the chain.
- Yet another tempting cosplay item to get, even though I have barely any progress in even considering a Sebastian/Ciel cosplay with one of my friends. Considering the lower price compared to the two aforementioned items, I just might get it for the heck of it…and maybe sell it when I snap out of this blind fanaticism.

Blurbs
- As Omni reported, Goto Yuko made a guest appearance on CosCosPlayPlay while cosplaying Anya from Code Geass R2. What interested me in the video was Yuko’s costume; it looks like it was either commissioned from Cospatio or ACOS. Since the Suzaku cosplayer later in the video is definitely sporting a costume from ACOS, I’m tempted to call that ACOS will release Anya’s Knight of Rounds costume sometime. However, it’s unlikely since it is not on the list of future costumes released by ACOS.

@ Vic:
You can either order through Animate or Movic right now, or wait around and see if an import store such as Animaxis would put it up for sale.

Hi, I found this page while looking for a Sebastian pin for my cosplay. I’m getting rather desperate, seeing as the only other decent pin I could find was $98, which is ridiculous.

I’m guessing you can only order off that Japanese site, but is there an ordering service that I, being a non fluent Japanese reader, can use, or someone who I could pay to buy me one and ship it to me? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

hey, I’m wondering the same thing Ashley is. Is there a way to get Sebastian’s lapel pin for less than the $98 it costs on all the sites i’m finding it on? Please let me know, I’m growing desperate! Thanks!

@ Ashley, Lore:

I got my Sebastian lapel pin for about $9.50 directly from an Animate store in Japan a few months ago. I think Animaxis had it for import for the same price, but it got sold out. I’m not really sure where else you can find the pin right now… Try searching long and hard. ^^;; Sorry that I can’t be more of help.
