A Special Memorize replica of the Cardcaptor Sakura Star wand will come out in Japan in October 2025 for decoration or cosplay purposes. Pre-orders are now open, and the wand costs 7,480 JPY ($50.60). [Thanks, Hobby Watch!]
This replica is based on the Star Wand, which Sakura gets a little later in the series. It’s around 58 cm long, and gold leaf has been used to decorate the star at the top. There’s also a motor in the toy. This means if you press a button on the back, the star will spin around while music from the song plays. You can also listen to “Platinum,” which is one of the opening songs from the show.
As a note, the Star Wand is available on Premium Bandai. This means that you have to use an external proxy service to order it if you don’t live in Japan. You also cannot access the site unless you’re in that country.
Despite the age of the series, merchandise for Cardcaptor Sakura still come out today. In 2024, Mayla released lounge wear resembling Sakura’s school uniform, as well as a series of perfumes that have the Star Wand star on the lids. This year, Good Smile Company released a prototype of a Cardcaptor Sakura figure that depicts her in her black and pink cat maid bottle outfit. Pre-orders for this figure will open up in May 2025.
The Star Wand replica from Cardcaptor Sakura is open for pre-order via Premium Bandai. The anime is streaming on Crunchyroll. Kodansha handles the manga.
