Sailor Mars. Then I would buy Irwin Toy's Sailor Mars. Irwin made Rei Hino's toy better.
Funny. I don't remember Sailor Mars ever being a Monster Of The Day.

Oh, it wwas monster of the week ? Pick none of them. Sailor Mars is better than those.

Hermaphrolion, er, (3 minutes of research) Falion.

Despite the gender ambiguity, the biggest question about that Cardian was one that I wouldn't have a proper answer to until Robot Chicken came along:

"What that steering wheel be?"

"Yarr, it's drivin' me nuts!"

Partly because that episode was Jupiter's personal breakthrough, and if I had to choose between her and Mars, she'd be my favorite scout, though that's usually a tie.

Idk if Tamashii has the same level of interest towards MOTDs the same way Hasbro does

I took it as a hypothetical question.

Also I have my own shrines dedicated to a majority of the characters the same way I have a shelf dedicated to the miscellaneous Optimus Primes and Megatrons that don't have other figures to stand next to (Animated Deluxe 2-pack, ROTF Leaders, G1 toys being examples), and for today's image, I have the titular heroine herself (I got another plush weeks later)

Yeah, Sabrblade's got it right. Just something that came to me. I sadly doubt we'll ever see even the big bads get figures.

Especially since most of the big bads are all non-corporeal clouds of blackness.

Well, I wouldn't mind a Queen Beryl with Metallia-shaped accessory or something like that. :lol:

Cenicienta (what was she called in the Cloverwave dub, Kenoshenta the Glass Gladiator?) might actually stand a chance, since she was that rare monster du jour that lasted 2 episodes.

But yeah, the "bad-guy toys don't sell well" mentality will probably deny us any toys of villains who weren't possessed/corrupted heroes.

Oh, nice!

Ami's my all-time favorite character in Sailor Moon, and pretty much all of anime. I believe her debut episode was the first time I had ever seen Sailor Moon.

Only because the story made it into a two-parter. :lol:

Cenicienta (which is Spanish for "Cinderella" in case you wondered about the name) did put Sailor Moon in a pickle, and gained a bit of a legacy when Kaolinite used some extract to make a sword based on her powers. How many MOTD's can say that?

How much does the Sailor Mar's toy with Sailor Mars sweeping cost on ebay ?

I got it and 4 other figurines in a toy show for $75 total along with a $15 Sparkless guy. So it'll likely be around $40

Okay, guys. I have something truly special to share with you all, here.

I know that the following two videos are both pretty long in length (they are documentaries, after all), but any Sailor Moon fan worth their salt NEEDS to set aside some time to sit down and watch them both in full!

I still honestly cannot believe they found Saban Moon. I've got work tonight, but the day off tomorrow. So I'll give them a watch then.

Excellent. I had today off, so I watched Part 1 late last night and Part 2 this morning.

It was an unintentionally funny thing. Christianity cartoon quality animation, strange logic in-universe for the cartoon-to-live action stuff, and reusing established villain designs mixed with the new designs?

Also got the talented Jupiter shrine.

Sailor Jupiter looks like Iroha from Samurai Shodown.

Well since you asked, I can think of one from Inuyasha who can claim that, and is unbelievably similar even beyond that (well, except in appearance): Goshinki, Naraku's third "child". Only lasted one episode, but bit the Tessaiga in half sending Inuyasha into my favorite arc for the next 11 episodes until he could fully wield his sword again; but as if that wasn't enough, Sesshōmaru found Goshinki's head and had Kaijinbō forge his fangs into Tōkijin, his primary weapon until well into Inuyasha Final. That's SO similar that...could they be based on the same Japanese myth? Or an earlier Manga/Anime?

I like the Sailor V Superhero arc.

I finished part one and am a half-hour into part two. My god she is good. I'm just massively impressed with the amount of detective work she's done and how much info she's uncovered.
