The Eternal Moon Compact
What it looks like: Here we have a lovely piece of Sailor Moon work once more. The box is absolutely stunning, far above the rest of the boxes that our typical compacts have come in. And the item itself is beautiful! Inside, we have the compact, which is of course, in the shape of a heart. The top has a nice little top, sort of like the top of the grail in past transformations. It does have the gold beads on the sides, with wings coming out of them, towards the bottom. They have a gorgeous like, sticker on them, that has it fading from yellow, to dark blue. Accenting it beautifully. Then we have the crescent moon at the bottom, with stickers all around the heart, in all of the senshi's colors. To hold in all it's glory, there is a yellow dome like, in the center of this all, which is transparent to get a good view of the star shaped crystal button in the center. At which, you can see more beautiful gold to red, and gold to green, fadings around it. It's absolutely stunning. And to keep this baby on, is a golden chain, hooked to the top.
What it sounds like: And here's where it all tumbles down hill. In previous versions of the locket, we had beautiful music playing. To substitute the beautiful music, by pressing a white button on the inside of the locket, you're going to hear a fast paced beeping, as it goes, it slows down to almost a complete stop. But not before a little rhythmic beep. And then, all is silent. By far, the worst sound any Sailor Moon toy has made to date.
What it does: As it beeps, that star in the center blinks in time with each beep. And when it slows, it continued to flash for a good few seconds more.
What it Costs: For this item, in box, I payed about $88.00 for it. You can expect to pay anywhere from $50.00 to about $125.00 for this item, whether it be in, or out of box. Stars toys are ALWAYS hard to come by when it comes to Cosplay items.
All in all, the fun factor for this toy, was given a good 7 out of 10. It's awesome for cosplay, and beautiful as an item all in itself!! Truly, something to really enjoy as a part of your collection. It would surely impress any collector.
Next week, we'll be taking a good look at some of the newer PGSM toys!
