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

All your Utena Swag

So I  went to Ikki-con this weekend... and what did I find? RARE UTENA POSTERS!  $90 later I have three posters in my possession and a light wallet.  If you're curious which ones, they were the Juri/Ruka nipple biting poster, Mamiya on top of Mikage poster, and the image from the third cd with Akio and the gals but in color and humongous!  Hello extra large Akio nipple!

So I was wondering, what Utena stuffs do you own?

... as for the rest of the stuff I own, I have the manga, the dvd boxsets, a few cds, a Miki plush, a Chuchu pin, a cel of Miki from his sword-retrieving scene with Kozue... and no artbooks (ohtori.nu's gallery has spoiled me).

Actually I only have the complete DVD series, but I'm planning to buy the Utena Remake(and so the Cd box etc-wankdude ).
I'm waiting also for the Rose Crest, I paid a company for making the ring.

Re: All your Utena Swag

Unfortunately, I don't have much. I almost have the entire series, all of the manga, the movie, and the movie poster from Software Sculpters.

Edit: Also, a CD. Don't know which one, but it has Utena and Anthy's faces close to each other, whilst upside-down.

Re: All your Utena Swag

You lucky person you. emot-gonk I'm coveting that Akio one.

Me? I guess I don't have a ton of stuff. I do have a Rose Signet ring, though. I've also got the "Saa, Watashi to Engage Shite..." sountrack, which I just love. Besides that, my copy of the Sega Saturn game, which I need to play more often. I've got a pack of Utena playing cards, but I'm not sure how legitimate those are (same with my little Utena and Chu Chu pins). I like the playing cards anyway. It's like having all the best Utena art in your pocket.

My most WANTED piece of Utena merchandise? A Miki doll. etc-love

I've got two anime cons I'm going to in the next few months (well, I'm a fan guest at one and staffing the other). I should check and see if there's any Utena stuff. Unlikely, but worth a look.

Re: All your Utena Swag

The series and the movie, and a couple of soundtracks. I'm not much of a collector of merchandise, unless it goes really well with my style.

Those soundtracks have a bit of a story behind them: I ordered them from net and for some reason they went to the post-office instead of my mailbox (just a bit too wide box, I guess). I tore the box open on the spot to make more room in my bag, since I was on the way to buy clothes, as well. When I was leaving the store, which also had an electronics department, the alarms beeped; the magnetic strip in the CDs had activated. So I, over 6" tall bearded buy in a black trenchcoat had to present the very pink and cutesy CDs to the store guards and demonstrate they weren't from their stock. I didn't even think of being embarrased, before I noted their raised eyebrows. I explained it was experimental Japanese heavy rock with chorus (true, isn't it?). emot-rolleyes

I only have the complete DVD set and manga (inluding the movies stuff). I'm awaiting the Remastered Version as well (though that's probably still a far cry for the States).

If ever. emot-rolleyes  I'm not optimistic on a US release for the remastered Utena.  There's simply no market for it outside of existing fans, I imagine.  I'd love to be proven wrong, though.

As for my Utena collection... it's the US DVD release, the movie DVD, the 4 US-released OSTs, the first (large, flipped) editions of the Manga volumes 1-3, and the Adolescence of Utena manga.

Re: All your Utena Swag

I made a thread about this a bit ago here.

If I ever win the lottery, I need to track down that Nanami Cowbell. It is really the only piece of merchandise I truly want. Well, that and the remastered DVDs, if they ever do come out, but that's not really merch in my eyes. Hopefully the subs will be separate from the footage this time around. emot-tongue

Re: All your Utena Swag

Let's see...

SKU manga volumes 1-5, Movie manga, SKU TV series episodes 1-39 on DVD, SKU movie DVD, 5 SKU soundtracks, 1 SKU wallscroll, 3 SKU posters, SKU t-shirt... and that's all. emot-frown I'm still hunting for Juri's locket, and for my birthday I'm asking for a Black Rose Crest. Whenever the remastered DVDs come out, I'll be all on that.

Really? They've got that all over, just ridiculously expensive. There's one on eBay now that's almost flawless except that it opens from the side, not from the top.

Voila.

And here is the LiveJournal group with the pretty much perfect three hundred dollar one.

Re: All your Utena Swag

The DVD collection and film. All but 2 of the soundtracks. The manga and the movie manga. One art book. Two mini posters which i don't have hanging at the moment. An Anthy figure. Eight different Rose Signets with eight different ones soon to arrive.

Might be forgetting some things.

Edit: Like a t-shirt.
Edit Redux: or the ninth different Rose Signet also on the way.

Yeah, I forgot about my movie poster, and it's hanging right next to my bed. Silly me.

Re: All your Utena Swag

I have a likely illegitimate version of the Utena DVDs(it's a weird unfolding boxset including the movie which I found on eBay - works great), along with vols 1-5 of the manga and the movie manga.

I also bought an Utena UFO doll a month ago which I adore. etc-love That's pretty much it. We don't have any anime/comic conventions here, so the only way to get rare stuff like Utena is ebay.

Re: All your Utena Swag

I have the DVDs and the Tarot cards.  Also a painfully-near-complete collection of the PP cards.  I think I have a few posters, but I haven't thought about them in years; I like Utena's art on TV, but not on my bedroom walls.

I also made a Black Rose ring out of a ring my aunt gave me over a decade ago.  (It still fits me.)  It doesn't look at all convincing up close, but it did its job for stage cosplay back at the big Midwest convention a few years ago.

I wish you luck in finding it. I got the dealer's last one and even though it was slightly damaged I still paid $30 for it.  Since then I've looked online for more official Utena posters and where I've found some others like Miki with Kozue, I NEVER found another Ruka/Juri.

Re: All your Utena Swag

I have the the six-volume manga in Japanese (including the Adolescence Mokushiroku one), the DVDs, the series signet and Arisugawa Juri's locket in 14K gold --- the latter two I bought from usr_fanbase.

Plus, if it counts, Juri's wrap-around evening dress/hostess gown (call it what you will) which my best friend had custom-tailored for me as a present. ^^0

I really don't like the soundtracks all that much, with the exception of the Adolescence Rush CD compilation and a few select piano pieces from the series. I've completely remedied my musical craving by borrowing CDs from someone else. *grins*

Re: All your Utena Swag

I've got the first soundtrack, the Rose Collection, the movie... but I had to pawn the movie and lost the soundtrack, which ran 17AMD. Which is nuts. My cousin and Niece both loved Truth and Rinbu Revolution, though they didn't know what to make of the Duel songs. My uncle liked the Duel songs.
