This Monday we're looking at the GE Animation Sailor Moon wallet.
Quality - This wallet gets 4 ♥'s because although it appears to be a relatively nice wallet, it won't hold up very long. Unfortunately, the material isn't exactly leather and won't withstand a LOT of items in there, but hey, you get what you pay for right?
Appearance - This wallet gets 5 ♥'s for all the amazing details thrown about the wallet. It's got the silhouette image on the front with her classic American line and then an adorable Luna walking on the back set to a quilted like background. It's definitely adorable!
Packaging - The packaging gets 2 ♥'s simply because it's on a flimsy card that it falls off of rather easily. You'd think they'd want to protect a universal treasure like Sailor Moon!?
Art - This wallet gets 4 ♥'s for the artwork. The card holding it is very vibrant and eye catching. Not to mention the silhouette is absolutely unmistakeable! However, I'm not in favor of the line on the front around the image. I think simpler is better in this instance.
Functionality - Wow, this is where I don't think I've given less! I give this wallet only 2 ♥'s for functionality. As you can see, it doesn't have a lot of pockets, it IS rather small and doesn't look like it would hold more than about 5 dollar bills without it bunching up and looking wonky. This wallet definitely is more suited towards the much younger crowd or the person with only a debit card, ID and a few bucks..
Fun - This wallet get's 3 ♥'s for fun, as quite simply.. it's a WALLET. Unless you're spending money on MORE Sailor Moon stuff, how much fun can it be to go in there to spend money?! Especially when it comes to bills. Silly Edison with his blasted light bulb idea.. making me pay for electricity .. *grumblemumble*
Cost - This piece get's 4 ♥'s for cost because it's relatively cheap. You can get it for as cheap as $11.89 (not including shipping) or for as expensive as $21.99. Depending on where you want to go.
Availability - This wallet gets 3 ♥'s for availability, because it's a bit harder to find. You can get it on eBay, Amazon or even some Anime websites if you look hard enough. Be sure to shop around though, as you can see, the prices really do vary.
I'd say overall, this wallet is fairly nice and more so of a fun piece to carry around if you have just a few cards, or are looking to really minimize what you're taking with you. It's definitely something that will spark a conversation with the person you're handing your debit card to .. or maybe that nice police officer that pulled you over will have a change in tune once they see your snazzy wallet and you both start humming that familiar tune together? .. Okay, maybe not..
Sailor Moon Chan Says!
I really had high hopes for this wallet and wanted to make it into my everyday use wallet but it really is so flimsy! I was sad about that. But it looks so cute! xD
ReplyDeleteI have the wallet too and was majorly disappointed too. I felt the leather stuff (or whatever it is..) is cut rather bad.
ReplyDeleteThe wallet also doesn't close so there is also that risk of money falling out being such a flimsy thing. Like you said, you could only hold about 2 cards and a note and it would fall out and the wallet would probably tear. No place to put coins in either, so that is rather bad.
Good wallet for the younger sort, like you said, but definitely not one for the older teen or adult
