heavenly_pearlThis episode of Crystal was almost as good as last week's, which I absolutely loved. Things are getting good!I really loved everybody joining their powers together to help Sailor Moon transform into her Super form (even if the transformation itself wasn't that interesting), and the new fuku is stunning. I was never really fond of the Super fuku in the old anime because the colors didn't really work together, but Crystal's color palate makes it look much better. I'm also glad that they kept Neptune scolding Uranus about talking about their "patrons" from the manga. That was always one of my favorite interactions between them! (Although it would be nice to find out exactly who these patrons are.) But the main meat of this episode was the Outers finally telling the Inners their Silver Millennium backstory and what they plan to do to Hotaru. Sure it was a lot of exposition, but it was really well done exposition. I even got chills at one point. Also loved Mistress Nine's voice and thought it was really creepy (in a good way) how Hotaru's face and voice changed when Mistress Nine briefly managed to take control before her final awakening.
In other news, that Pegasus toy that I spent a ridiculous amount of money on finally was delivered a few days ago. There was some doubt I would actually get it since shortly after I bought and paid for it, the seller came back to me, wanting me to pay the full $300 he originally wanted because he really needed the money and regretted selling it for so cheap. I sympathized, but there was no way I could afford to pay that much, so I told him that if he really thought it was worth that much, he was welcome to cancel the order, refund my money, and try to find another seller, though since I was the only one who had expressed an interest in it, that might be asking too much. After taking almost a week to think it over, he finally decided to honor our original deal and sent it off.
I debated for a few days about whether or not to open the box, but it just seemed stupid to pay that much for the thing and not even get to see the main reason I bought it, so I did end up opening it. Luckily, it was very easy to take it out of the box without destroying anything, so I don't think opening it will affect the value that much as long as I keep the toy and box in great condition.
This is what it looked like straight out of the box. There's a velcro closure on the bottom, which lets you open and turn the bell inside out to transform into...
Pegasus! Too be honest, he's kinda ugly-cute...but it's Pegasus!
And then I put him back in the box so he hopefully won't get dirty.
