- SDCC has announced both the Monster High and Ever After High exclusives! We knew that Evil Raven Queen was the EAH offering, but Monster High will be getting a two-pack of Kieran Valentine and Whisp ("guest" characters in two of the MH movies: Why Do Ghouls Fall in Love? and 13 Wishes), plus a vinyl figure of Nefera de Nile in her Boo York, Boo York outfit. As always, first dibs are given to convention-goers and registered members of Mattel's Matty Collector website before the general public (if any are left).
- Japanese miniatures maker Re-ment is continuing their partnership with Toei and offering more Sailor Moon Crystal sets. They just released the Cafe Sweets line (I ordered one of the sets and will be reviewing it later), and will be releasing an "everyday" and a "birthday cake" line. We'll see them in July and September, respectively. I'll be ordering the Sailor Venus/Minako sets from both these lines when available.
- Also in Sailor Moon news, Bandai will be releasing the Sailor V S.H. Figuarts in September, one month after the debut of Super Sailor Moon. Will we see both Sailor Pluto and "Sailor Zoicite" this year? Time will tell. Given that Bandai has announced that they are making Sailor Starlights Petit Chara figures, I have high hopes for getting Starlight Figuarts. But we probably won't hear anything about 2016 figures until the big Japanese summertime conventions. (Same with the Magic Knight Rayearth figures...these companies usually withhold prototype figures and release dates for the big conventions.)
- Also also in Sailor Moon news, the first box set of Sailor Moon R will be released in July...here's hoping that Viz will give us the release date of the second R box set soon, maybe at Otakon or AX or the like. Also hoping for the release date of S season to be revealed this summer...can't wait for that one!
- Just a reminder that E3 starts in roughly two weeks! If there's any exciting news regarding Persona, Kingdom Hearts, or Final Fantasy games, I'll post it here. But you can also check out Kotaku, since they will be covering every press conference during E3.
Time for lunch, so I'll see you later! Miss Scarlett, signing out!
