So, I found these pictures...

[Im Just A Panda Bear]

I was on the Internet looking for a place to buy a nice Sailor Moon poster when I found Sailor Moon Shop. I looked at their posters/prints section, and I nearly s**t a brick when I saw this.



Chibiusa/Hotaru is absolutely my favorite pairing EVER. If it wasn't for the fact that the prints were really small, and not nearly the size of a poster, I would buy one. They also had Rei/Minako and Ami/Makoto one. Hmm...Odd. I have never seen these pictures before, and they appear to be official.

But upon further inspection, I saw that the site was selling bootleg copies of the anime for really high prices. After that, I really didn't trust the site.

That's when it hit me. Are these pictures fakes? Did somebody really copy the Toei style and sell it, using pairings to try to get more people to buy them?

That's why I'm posting here. I want your opinions. I know a lot of their other pictures aren't fakes, but what about these ones? I seriously think they're fakes.

It's an official image. Banpresto made that image into a poster for the Japanese market in 1996. But in the official Japanese one it's got a border around it.
