Cardcaptor Sakura Figure and Stationary

Keeping with my magical girl theme. I'd like to take the time to talk about my Cardcaptor Sakura goodies! In terms of merchandising, I find that it's harder to get anything CCS. While Sailor Moon is absolutely booming because of the new Sailor Moon Crystal anime. But Sakura fans are in luck because a few things are being released every few months. So here is my collection so far!

Sakura as a chibi is perfection!

You know what? there are some people who absolutely hate the chibi style. But when you look at Kinomoto Sakura it's just perfect. She's so adorable that I can't stop going "awwww". Okay, I'm going to try and focus now on talking about this.

Zoomed up on her face

Well, for a tiny figure I like how the details on her dress. Such as the ruffles around her arm, they're really well done. The crinoline under her dress could use a bit more detail on the edges like the ones on the arms but the under of her dress has layers upon layers of lace so it looks really puffy underneath.  

So this figure was won through a Ufo catcher by my brother's wife Saori. Yeah, she's crazy good at those games! A majority of the things that I'm going to post about was won by her! For anyone going to Japan planning on trying, it is definitely possible to win stuff at the arcade. It just takes some time and a lot of concentration. Anyways, here's a picture of Sakura from the back.

I forgot to take a picture of the stand but it has the Sun and Moon with Sakura's name on it. Similar to the Clow Card design. 

Moving on to my stationary. 

My little note pad

Originally I saw this online at Amiami and liked the idea of a Clow Card shaped note pad. So when I went to Japan and saw this at the electronic store, Yodobashi I didn't hesitate to pick one up. This was actually the last one there and so I'm torn between using it and keeping it in pristine condition.

The Cardcaptor Sakura part is just a plastic cover for the paper. Here's what the paper looks like when you flip the cover off. 

Yes, that's the note paper the only thing that confuses me about this notepad is whether to write on the Clow Card design or on the back. Here's what the page looks like from behind.

So the back of the page is similar to the real Clow Card except it's blank and Sakura is in the corner. This makes using the notepad difficult since I'd have to turn the page upside down to write on this blank side of paper. Since this is also the first page I would definitely need a hard surface to write on. 

I think that I'll keep this item as something I can appreciate and look at from time to time. Onto the next stationary item! 

I tried this Cardcaptor Sakura Lottery game! It's a really lovely greeting card. The envelope is a really nice touch. 

It's the same size as the Clow Card! The paper is nice and thick. The inside actually surprised me!

A popup Sakura appeared dressed as the Prince from the Sleeping Beauty play! 

A small space to write a message on the bottom of the page. The background is really lovely but I would have to think and compose something short and sweet if I ever used this.

I think this is a little description about the Dark but I'll have to ask Saori when I have time. The matching Clow Book envelope is the final icing on the cake.

There's a nice little spot where you can writhe person's name on the back. 

I really love this greeting card and envelope. I think any fan of the series would love to receive card, the popup Sakura was adorable. 

Finally the matching pen to go along with all of this stationary. 

The sealing wand chain at the end of the pen with a picture of Sakura wrapped around the body of the pen. 

And that's my Cardcaptor Sakura figure and stationary! I think it's a nice little haul that I've come home with. There's a few more things Cardcaptor Sakura merchandise that I got from Japan but that's for another day and another post!
