Hey All,

(SPOILER WARNING: This post contains a spoiler from yesterday’s Season 5 episode “Do Princesses Dream of Magical Sheep?” If you have not watched it yet, scroll down or go watch the episode first. If this piques your interest, check the episode out.)

Hey Fans,

Sailor Moon has finally been referenced in the series My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. In the Season 5 Episode 13 “Do Princesses Dream of Magical Sheep?”, the character of Big Macintosh (Brother of Main Character/Mane 6 pony Applejack) does what is compared to a Sailor Moon-like transformation sequence, music and everything, turning him into an Alicorn (Pegasus & Unicorn) Prince/Princess. The episode aired yesterday and already this clip has gained notoriety based on canon jokes as well as the reference. I will be the first to admit that I am a Brony/Pegasister and have been watching this series for a while but this got me excited.

For those who do not know, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is the 4th generation telling of My Little Pony. It has referenced numerous pop culture icons from Batman to Indiana Jones to even “the Big Lebowski”. This Sailor Moon reference (as well as the Phillip K. Dick reference to the science-fiction novel “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep” in the title) are just the two newest cultural references that the show has made.

For those who wish to watch the episode, the episodes should be on Netflix soon and can be found with an internet search or on Itunes or Amazon.

Happy Spring!

With the coming of spring also comes the announcement of another Sailor Moon Pullip Style Doll… Taeyang is a companion doll to the original Pullip line and the first of the Sailor Moon Taeyang dolls is the one and only Tuxedo Kamen.  Tuxedo Kamen sells for ¥18000 (About $150) retail or the premium version for ¥19440 (about $161.87) on the Bandai.Jp website, which comes with a rose as well. For US orders, Pullip Style has the doll for sale for $135.  Information on the doll can be found on the Sailor Moon Collectibles website as well as the Official Sailor Moon website (Site is in JP). The doll is currently only available for Pre-order with shipping starting in April 2015.

So if you are an Avid Sailor Moon doll collector or a Pullip Doll collector, I recommend checking this doll out.
