This is a static copy of In the Rose Garden, which existed as the center of the western Utena fandom for years. Enjoy. :)

The SKU Merchandise Flaunting Thread

I'm proud of what little I've managed to scrape up from the ever draining sea of SKU merchandise. I'm sure you all are too. Hell, it doesn't even have to be official. So let's show off some of the highlights, hmm?

Please only link to pictures larger than about 600 pixels wide. Table breaking and image heavy pages make me want to tear out my intestines. emot-gonk

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f64/_u_t_e_n_a_/Misc/Photo388.jpg
Here we have a line up of goodies! The Utena and Anthy Sega Real Models, the CharaDoll Selection Utena, an Utena UFO Catcher, and Nanami and ChuChu keychains.

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f64/_u_t_e_n_a_/Misc/Photo392.jpg
Did I mention that the Sega Real Model Utena is the superspecialawesome Barefoot Girl edition? emot-dance That's right, folks. While trying to impale her leg with a piece of metal so she would stand the fuck up and quit molesting all my Pokemon pencil toppers, I broke off her calf! So now she's all fixed up with ACTUAL masking tape!! emot-aaaemot-aaaemot-aaa Woah!

Er...

And then I had fun with the "Utena Barbie."
Not work safe if your boss is offended by Ken's shiny, plastic bulge.
Just dumb.

Might post more later. What've you guys got?

I don't have any pictures, but I've got three posters, and Dios gets awesome points for being the only boy on my wall out of eight posters. I used to own a Chu-Chu plushie, but then I remembered that I hate Chu-Chu, so I gave it to my friend for her birthday. I've got an I etc-love Revolutionary Girl Utena pin around here somewhere, but I can't find it. I own Juri's locket, and a Rose Crest.

Sadly, that's about it, unless you count my Ohtori Schoolgirl Uniform for cosplay, which I'm never going to wear again. But earlier today, my friend and I were discussing having her boyfriend try the uniform on. I'll be sure to take pictures for everyone here to see. emot-keke (He'll do it, too.)

Sticking that piece of metal up her leg is somehow a surreal and slightly unsettling experience. Curse you for having Anthy, though! My Utena has to hang out with a bunch of Darkstalker figures instead.

Other than that, all I have are two small buttons, one of Utena and one of Anthy, which a friend gave me semi-randomly.

Re: The SKU Merchandise Flaunting Thread

No pictures but I have:

1. All the OSTs released in America
2. Utena stickers (all used....they're on my high school note books school-eng101)
3. Utena file thingy
4. Utena binder thingy
5. Utena & Anthy keychains that I bought at Animazement (they're fanart...but they're really pretty!)
6. An Utena "music box" (it's not really a box) that plays "Truth"

I think that's about it but....

Things I used to have:

1. A wallscroll of the movie.
2. A shirt with the odd Utena sandwich picture from the last DVD

It makes me really sad that they are gone forever....emot-frown


No clue who made this (or any of my avatars really) so if it was you let me know...and I'll give you credit!

Re: The SKU Merchandise Flaunting Thread

DAWW I always loved the Nanami keychain.


I have... hmm.

●the PPcard set
●both rings, though I'm selling the black one.
●Ikuhara signed Art of Utena
●that movie script book
●the series acript books
●(unofficial)anthy plushies
●soundtracks
●the series on tape, dvd and vcd emot-gonk
●the manga, jsut for completion's sake.
●a bunch of half finished outfits.
●we USED to have a tiny Ohtori outfit, but I think it got donated to goodwill or something.
●the video game promo poster Red Angel and I 'collectively own' as she says.
●a show utena/anthy poster and a movie Utena/anthy wallscroll

Instead of each anthy having its own Utena, they have their pimp Zidane. He's a lucky lucky monkey man thing.

Re: The SKU Merchandise Flaunting Thread

Wow, you guys are hardcore!  I've got... um... the Tarot deck?  And the PP cards, except for #6.  (Got an extra, allegoriest?)  Apart from that, my Utena merch is pretty much limited to the rose stickers I made for the Anime Club Dueling Game years ago.

Edit: Oh, and I have the series, movie, and manga... but that doesn't count, does it?

My cards are packed up in luggage right now, but I don't think I have any extras... Though I'm planning on buying more for artsy-ish reasons.

..I also just bought the manga again. Hrm.

Re: The SKU Merchandise Flaunting Thread

I have a Duelist ring I bought for 30 bucks...

when it arrived, I figured out how it's made.

they take a picture of the rose crest, cover it in melted plastic, and stick it to a steel ring...

u.u;;;;;;;


It looks pretty good from a distance, though....

P.S.: I looked everywhere for a frickin' Utena doll...*seethes with jealousy*

Re: The SKU Merchandise Flaunting Thread

Not boasting, but...

http://cgi.ebay.com/Revolutionaly-Girl- … dZViewItem

is it legit? I sort of want it, but the fact that it's "Revolutionaly" Girl Utena bothers me a bit.


The first time you looked at her curves you were hooked
And the glances you took, took hold of you and demanded that you stay
And sunk in their teeth, bit your heart and released
Such a charge that you need another touch, another taste, another fix

Re: The SKU Merchandise Flaunting Thread

Gio has seen that book before and she says it's the movie script. You can't be completely sure it's legit, but if you think it's worth the risk, go for it.

Quoting Gio: "As for the typo, it doesn't suprise me. They could never decide how to spell their own characters' names."

Re: The SKU Merchandise Flaunting Thread

I think that's a seller error...

Yeah, that's the film script book. But its different from the words in the movie and such. its like an early copy or something. emot-confused


But there's like... three pages like the one they showed a picture of, and a few of character deisgns that you can find in the gallery already. its also like... seven inches high or so.

Re: The SKU Merchandise Flaunting Thread

I wish I had more SKU dolls *_*

I have:
-dvds (unofficial)
-the mangas
-the dvd and manga of the movie
-the rose crest *somewhere around here...*
-three Utena doujinshi
-a small Sega Miki plushie (my least favourite character, but for 50p I wasn't going to say no!)
-a small SEGA Anthy figure keyring
-a homemade touga jacket emot-keke;
-a Chuchu pin

I really want to find somewhere to buy SKU cosplay uniforms that aren't Utena's or Anthy's, and that isn't a crappy version of the school uniform D:

Re: The SKU Merchandise Flaunting Thread

Meh, I really don't have anything special. I have a few knicknacks like soundtracks, pins, an iron-on and a poster. Probably the nicest thing I have is my duelist ring.

Re: The SKU Merchandise Flaunting Thread

Most of the stuff I have is stuff I consider both mine and Gio's, cause I bought most of it from her when she needed money. There's an Akio cel, the tarot cards, a couple of UFO dolls, and a bunch of artbooks. And she gave me her ring when it no longer fit her. Still, though... those things aren't really mine, exactly.

Re: The SKU Merchandise Flaunting Thread

Seitokaichou, I am incredibly jealous of your collection! Where on earth did you manage to get the watch? (And do you wear it?) As for my collection, I have a very modest one that includes all five manga volumes, the first two dvd boxed sets, and the first soundtrack, all US editions. I also have an adorable Anthy bear who's dressed in the series "escape" outfit from the last episode. And may I ask others where they got their sega utena figures? I know a shop that sells the anthy one, but I really want an utena to go with her.
And more additions to my collection are coming! soon! yay tax return!emot-dance

EDIT: I forgot my utena art collection artbook!! emot-frown I love it so much, I can't believe I forgot to list it!

I won the item at Yahoo! Auction Japan. Much as I would like to wear the wristwatch, it might look awkward on me. *chuckles* This month (if I remember it correctly), I saw another ChuChu Mascot Wristwatch being sold at Yahoo Auction Japan; the price was around 13,000 yen.

Checking yafuoku (short for Yahoo! Auction Japan) has been a hard habit to break so if I see a Sega 1/8 scale Utena figure, I'll let you know. *winks*

Re: The SKU Merchandise Flaunting Thread

Don't have many items, just a Himemiya key chain, some tapes and dvds.

I actually had a question for you intrepid merchandise collectors. Years ago, I saw someone wearing an Ohtori Academy Fencing Club polo. But, I haven't seen it since. Does any one know where a girl fencer could get her mitts on one?

Thanks for any thoughts!
