Here we go! A SPECIAL double post from me to you, as an apology for my delay! In this one, we're going to look at the PGSM Heart Moon Brooch.. so without further to do, here it is!
What it looks like: Well, here we have the same blue gem littered boxes that the other PGSM toys seem to have. Though, the box is really lacking in the "WOW" factor, it's what's inside that we're really after! And this piece is certainly NOT a letdown!!! Upon looking at the compact closed, we see that the top is actually a transparent pink! Which is ALL NEW for the Sailor Moon world! We're so used to seeing these being thick, and solid. The top to this one, is actually quite thin, and has a hole in the center for the gem to be seen beautifully. Now, flipping the top we see the true beauty of this item. Around the gem, we have pink jewelry gemstones, that just sparkle with brilliance! On each side, we also have 4 more stones, that appear as if they light up! Around the heart, we have a beautiful gold coloring that shines in the light, and on the inside 4 corners, we have a moon on each top side, and a cute little accent on each bottom. Now we also have an adorable lipstick, though, unable to really work as any kind of gloss, it does have a top, and looks quite adorable with it's heart on the front. Hmm, I wonder if that heart has some significance?...
What it does: Now, upon opening (or keeping it closed, though, i recommend opening it to view this) the brooch, and pressing that center gem, we get a beautiful light display. Unlike any of the Sailor Moon items we've EVER seen, this one doesn't flash lights hard, or play any kind of loud, fast, annoying tune. Instead, it has quite a soft, and mellow tune to play, as each of the gems (2 at a time at start) fade in to light up, and fade out to let the others do the same, before all 4 will fade in to light up, and then fade out at the end of the tune. Absolutely stunning if you ask me. And then, that lipstick. Tired of pretending you're just some pretty girl? Well, take that lipstick, and making sure the heart is facing the brooch, wave it past it! VOILA! We have another spectacular light show with the center gem, and the 4 lights around it. Though, not as mellow as the previous without, it flashes quite quickly, leaving your eyes a bit surprised the first time around.
What it sounds like: As I said before, without the lipstick, by pressing the center gem, this piece actually has a beautiful, mellow tune to play. But wave the lipstick across it (just like in the show!), and you get the transformation tune you've been looking for! Alright, so it's been shortened, leaving you only a few seconds to get into that fuku, but, it still sounds adorable!
Fun Factor: This piece, definitely gets a 9 out of 10. It's large enough to really cosplay with, having that typical necklace to wear it. And like ALL the other PGSM items, it has an on/off switch, so you control the battery life.
This piece isn't as rare as you might think. You can likely find this piece on ebay for about $30-$50. Well worth the money in my opinion. It makes a beautiful collectable, an awesome cosplay piece, and a neat toy to really play with on a rainy day. Though, you won't change into "Sailor Moon" at any time during this, you'll certainly enjoy pretending you have!
