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

This afternoon I was searching for a pair of Utena tea cups (with the black rose design). I had a vague memory that this was indeed official merchandise so I tried googling and ended up here. My favorite is the general goods section (ctrl f for 少女革命ウテナ「グッズ」 if you can't read Japanese).
There is quite a lot of amazing stuff - like Miki's journal!
There is this teacup (but different from what I remember):
I really wish the photos were larger though. Does anyone here own any of these things?

...they produced a "Cowshtian Dior" cowbell? I think that's the absolute best possible piece of merchandise.

I have one of the series' cds, 6 volumes of manga ((yes even that Adolescent Manga that was devoid, of course, of both Shiori and Juri >__>)), One of the Sega Posters including Rose Bride anthy and mz Tenjou, and the ?L'Apocalypse? poster featuring Juri and Shiori (I have been looking for those btw, I'd like to own all of them) and lastly I have the signet pin.
As an aside I'd like to mention that were I not so cheap I had a chance to own the UFO catchers... but so much moneyZ....

Those are some incredible finds! I've been looking for merchandise of Utena and Sailor Moon frantically on etsy and ebay whenever I get a chunk of money I can spare. I have a Utena card deck, a T shirt, a Chu Chu pin, 2 soundtracks and a dogtag necklace. I would to DIY something if I had the money/time.
I recently found these bumper stickers and they are awesome:

I have the dvd series and this pin and patch that I bought off eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/260972546020#ht_500wt_1202
I'm currently wondering what to do with the patch.

I love those....
I have a Sailor Moon problem. I have way too many wall scrolls from that series, they're the only ones I collect. I was thinking of creating an Utena belt, I bought a Sailor Saturn one off line, and from what I understand the materials and process are fairly simple. Yaay! for DIY projects...
Speaking of which, I've always wanted an Utena inspired Itasha, but I'd settle for having a single vinyl sticker of Utena or Juri to stick on my car...
---> I forgot to mention my Random Utena Wallscroll I traded for 5 back issues of Shonen Jump back in highschool. I used to have the boxsets, but I let someone borrow them, and have never seen them again T^T)

Oh wow, those are so cool. I'd be confused about what to do with the patch too. It would be too cool not to use, but too precious to throw on some bag or clothing.

How about on a jacket for the patch, 20mensou? I have two jackets that I tend to customize, a white special one that I have for conventions because I'm not really a cosplayer, but want something special and a leather everyday one that has band patches and the like.

I'm pretty sure I would kill that person. I used to have white, pink and black rose rings that weren't merchandise, but the design was a close resemblance to the series. I let a girl borrow the pink and white ones for an event and she never returned them.

Hmm if I had a bag that I used everyday, I'd carefully sew the patch on the inside flap. That way I could see it everyday but it would be kept clean. Plus, I would not have to answer questions about what it meant etc haha.

Thanks for the suggestions, and you too, Varla! I'd like to make it a focal point of a piece of clothing, but so it doesn't look "nerdy" for lack of a better word. I'd like for it to look like it was part of a logo that a brand label came out with.

I own the 薔薇の革命 (Bara no Kakumei) and 薔薇の陰謀 (Bara no Inbou) doujin anthologies, which are both semi-official things published by Rapport Comics. The former has what appears to be an interview with Shinya Hasegawa and some other people in the back, while the latter has a short manga with the movie's main seiyuu plus Chiho Saito that seems to have been based on an event in Akihabara or something; maybe there's some interesting things being said in those bits, but my Japanese stinks, so I wouldn't be able to tell. The two anthologies also have a very pretty colour pullout each.
I've got another doujin anthology called Rose Garden, but although it seems to be published by an actual company (HILAND, under the AP Selection label) and has an ISBN, it's pretty safe to say there's nothing official about it - especially given that some of the stories in it are flat-out hentai!
Apart from a couple more doujinshi by Milk Morinaga, I don't have another interesting SKU stuff. I feel like I want the keychain figures listed on that site, though, plus the Tsuwabuki's Party doujin and the Nanami ones.
