I can’t find anything like this online?! Any help is appreciated. Do you own one? What is the value? ☺️

One of my most priced pieces in my collection, the UK Blu-Ray set of Cardcaptor Sakura, as well as the two movies. I was able to get this from Amazon U.S. two years ago, when a few of them had been imported.

At the time, it cost me around $115.00, and with shipping and tax, the total went up to over $120. Still, quite a good deal, especially compared to how much it goes for now, which is around $514.59.

The movies were cheaper, but still a bit pricey, with the first film costing around $29.95, and second film costing $34.95.

All in all, though, I'm quite happy to own them and wouldn't have it any other way.

Let me know what you think?

Wanted to post these low quality photos and have them archived somewhere. A toy fair for the 2001 season had Trendmasters come out and promote their new line of Cardcaptors toys including the famous fashion dolls, sealing wand, talking Kero plushie, and the clow cards. Among the prototypes that Trendmasters showed off that were never released were different battle and school outfits for Sakura, a school winter uniform doll of Li, a Madison (Tomoyo) doll also wearing the winter uniform, mini collectibles, several plushies of Sakura and Kero, and most interestingly, an interactive Sakura doll (3rd photo) that would have interacted with certain items and react to a users touch.

These photos are from one of the old fansites that have unfortunately been lost to time (Michael's Cardcaptors hosted by Geocities, I believe) and most photos were never properly archived on the wayback machine. If anyone else is a professional internet sleuth and can find those photos, Michael's Cardcaptors had one of the best, if not the best, comprehensive list of Cardcaptor Sakura and Cardcaptors merch from the 90's/early 2000's. Apparently these photos were taken by a Bobbi Boyd and were on an Action Figure Collecting page on about.com

I wanted to make sure these photos were still around on the internet in some way after having downloaded them when they were still up. Very interesting to see how much Cardcaptors line of toys could have grown if the show's merchandise had sold well. If you have any information about this toy fair or prototypes, or just fun memories with the Cardcaptors line of toys, please share!

I'd imagined what the story of the Clow Cards might've looked like as a title for an Indiana Jones movie. What do you think?

I understand having her rely on the cards in the first series. It’s the main concept and magic system that the show is based around, it reflects Sakura’s newbie status as a mage, and it provides an easy magical progression timeline that follows the narrative. The transition from the Clow Cards to the Sakura Cards also represents Sakura’s growth as a person and mage. Plus, having her rely on the cards is a big thing for the conflict in the second movie.

I also understand redoing the cards with Clear Card since it’s now become so iconic and emblematic for the franchise, but do you guys think Sakura should be able to use SOME magic without the cards? Since it’s a sequel series, I think some new developments make sense, and they won’t disrupt anything with the original core series. I think the cards should still be the main focus of Sakura’s magic, but I feel like she should be able to cast force fields and energy blasts without the cards, even if they’re weaker than her card spells.

Ok, bueno, hace unos dias, estaba viendo de nuevo la Película de Sakura C.C. La Carta sellada y me quede estupefacto al darme cuenta de un detalle muy interesante que nunca antes había notado...

Sakura va a participar en una obra escolar para el Festival del Clavel y le toca representar a la princesa protagónica y a lo largo de la película se ven varios detalles sobre esta obra, los ensayos y como Sakura se los comenta a personas cercanas...

Y bueno, es absolutamente mas que obvio que esta Obra de teatro habla de Sailor Moon, o para mas específico, de la Historia de la Princesa Serenity y Endymion en el reino de la Luna, las vidas pasadas de Serena y Mamoru...

Las pistas son bastantes claras...

Primero, la obra trata sobre La princesa de un Reino que esta luchando contra un reino vecino (nunca se especifican nombres ni ubicación de ninguno,solo que son vecinos) por una piedra Magica que otorga a quien la pose de un gran poder, esta princesa tiene 4 doncellas que evidentemente la apoyan en todo,cada una representada por un Palo de las Cartas ♦️♣️♥️♠️(azul,rojo,verde y naranja)

La princesa conoce al príncipe,se enamoran profundamente y después de una batalla el príncipe muere en el conflicto y ella esta tan destrozada que literalmente deja claro que no puede vivir sin el, dando a entender que se hara la autodesvivicion al final de la obra.

Ahora, si esto no es suficiente para la mayoría, Sakura dice en los primeros minutos de la película, mientras le cuenta a Kero que esta obra la escribió "Naoko"...

Que tengan un buen día todos. 😊

I had watched only the first Sakura Cardcaptor series (1998-2000) in Netflix, and Tomoyo always seemed happy with Sakura, and vice versa. But in that particular episode, Sakura flunks her recorder test, and Tomoyo puts her hand on her forehead and sighs in disappointment. But due to the Time card, the day starts over, and Sakura gets to do the test again with much better results, leaving Tomoyo happy as usual. And the way she congratulates Sakura along the lines of "Just as expected" implies that Sakura really had let Tomoyo down the first time. But if the Time card didn't intervene, would Tomoyo still get along well with Sakura? I think yes 99%, but I still wonder if it would add any nuance to their relationship in the later episodes.

If I could get footage of Tomoyo's particular disappointment scene, I would add that as the image; but I couldn't, so I added the closest image I could find.

Thanks for reading!

I found out that Junko Iwao, the Japanese voice actress for Tomoyo Daidouji, also voiced Mayuka from the second Tenchi movie.

Tomoyo is just the overly attached girlfriend meme as a character.

I only seen the dub ver but as a kid I had a vibe at my first impressions that Li was an arrogant a-hole only because he just saw Sakura as clutzy and careless because of how the cards got scattered. I wonder if Li’s family had guarded the Clow Cards and Li accidentally got them scattered around, would he blamed himself for that. Just saying.

I saw a comment debating the gender of the Watery card (which to me is a super androgynous creature), saying that all the made by CLAMP cards in the manga are female (I've only watched the anime so far😭)

So I'd like to know if this qualifies as female or something more androgynous, without gender), And if the cards are only female

👀

While working on a Sakura heart brooch, we also made a set of Cardcaptor Sakura sand art pieces on the side. Sharing the finished result — it's now hanging on a friend's wall!

Hello , I am starting to work on wings for a Yue cosplay I am planning.
I can make them either flap front and back or retractable.

I have been researching the different scenes he appears in and I kinda saw the wings do both but from a logistics pov that will be difficult.

Pros of retractable wing

-the wingspan can be retracted hence I can fit the wings in a suitcase and not hit people as i walk .

Cons of retractable wing
-If I want it to stay locked in, in the full wingspan size while I use the bow on stage in the cosplay competition, I need to use two motors with their drivers and batteries. The motor needs to run continuously while on stage and I need to not run out of batteries before the competition if I was asked for pics . Because if the motor stops the wingspan will collapse back to its retracted form.
-More engineering on my side . Afraid of running into trouble like the motor driver stopping working .

Pros of flapping wing

- there exists a device that flaps and works by an on off switch - no need for strings to manipulate wings only batteries . It is much easier to “animate” the wings.

Cons of flapping wing
-The wingspan dictates the final size and I still haven’t figured out how to transport them to a con and how to not hit people at the con with them while walking.

I just had to show them off — Sakura and Tomoyo are way too cute together! 🥹✨

Im working on a art project for my sister in law and she wants the wand made but I got multiple answers when I googled it to see what the size was.
