SM vs. Real Life Volume: 6 - Crystal Tokyo vs. The Naica Crystal Caves

Sorry to burst your bubble Moonies and Naoko Takeuchi. Crystal Tokyo, contrary to popular belief will not be in Japan at all. Nope. It'll be here, in Mexico.

...


No, SRSLY. Take a look at these incredible pictures of the Naica Crystal Caves!! There is no other place as huge and incredible like this on the planet! It's 1000 feet underground and all but.... we just have to wait for that Galaxia/Serenity fight for it surface.











This cave is located in the state of Chihuahua, north of the country. They are mostly SELENITE crystals which according to Wikipedia is "most often transparent and colorless: it is named after Greek σεληνη= "the moon".

Coincidence?... How about this other coincidence: The name "Mexico" means "Moon's Navel" in ancient Nahuatl language. HAAAAAAAaaaaa!!


xD!!



Sadly, according to the official Naica website, these caves are doomed to disappear in the near future, as superheated water will fill the cave and they will become inaccessible. I have heard though that there are plans for pumping out the water and making it accessible to the public sometime in the future. YAY!

Pricess Kakyuu dances.

Hmmm... I rarely see any Kakyuu merch, but this figure made my jaw drop right down to the first floor (I'm on a fourth floor xD!)

Apparently it's not new (2006), but it's new to me!! I've looked for a figure like this FOR YEARS!!, I've never seen it, not even on Ebay. I feel like... like.... LIKE I NEED IT!!!!!! GAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!! Stupid consumerism. Dx!!

The Price is ALMOST Right. Item # 3.

How to play: A random SM related article will be selected on Ebay and you have to write down in the comments whether you think it will be sold or not and how much it will sell for. The one who gets the price right (or the closest without going over) wins!!!

Remember that if you get it right, you will win ONE point. Once you reach 5 pts., I will send you a gift you to wherever you are!


***************************************

The Price is ALMOST Right: Item no. 3

Almost life size Sailor Moon statue
This toy/statue/promotional item/whatever you want to call it is kind of ugly, her face is slightly different and looks...just.... OFF. I don't like it but it would make a good collector's item, and I've seen a couple of these sell for more than this one is right now. So, what do you guys think?? Will it sell?? For how much??

Remember that the one who guesses the closest to the actual selling price without going over, wins the point!! :]


Only a few days left!!
