With the goal reached, all of the pins have been unlocked which means there’s zero gamble in regards to whether these will be made. The campaign closes within the next 24 hours so those interested in scoring these limited edition pins are encouraged to contribute ASAP. Check them out here.

Is Sailor Saturn in Sailor Moon Crystal?
Yes, Sailor Saturn does appear in the Sailor Moon Crystal anime series. While Sailor Saturn is absent in the first two seasons of Sailor Moon Crystal, she's a major player in Sailor Moon Crystal Season 3. Sailor Saturn was voiced by Yukiyo Fujii in the original Japanese version of Sailor Moon Crystal and Christine Marie Cabanos in the English dub.
Hotaru's first appearance in Sailor Moon Crystal is in Season 3's second episode, Act 27 Infinity 1 - Premonition - Part 2. After her initial appearance, Hotaru becomes a major supporting character and eventually evolves into somewhat of a main villain for the season. READ MORE
