Parallel Universe Items Overview

In this article I'll be doing a quick overview of all the "parallel universe" items release during the Parallel Universe Mini-sale.

Flaming Hotphones
Flaming Hotphones
Flaming Hotphones were made as the counterpart for Ice Coldphones, a pair of limited headphones. These shared the same original price as Ice Coldphones, 250 robux. They look exactly like Ice Coldphones, with, of course, the exception of color. The Flaming Hotphones are all red and share the same mesh as its ancestor. It is still onsale, and I say if you have 250 robux to spare it's definitely worth it.

Cat Tags
Cat Tags
This cleverly-named hat was made as the counterpart to Dog Tags. I especially like this because it has a unique look to it. Instead of the bland-looking metal tags, hanging from the string are 2 metal cat-shaped plates with "meow" printed on them. At a cheap price of 25 robux, I'd say these are also worth the price.

Nice Red Bandana
Nice Red Bandana
Nice Red Bandana was made as a counterpart to Mean Green Bandana. The original Mean Green Bandana is green, quite obviously, and has a monstrous-looking mouth with razor-sharp teeth. This bandana is red, once again obvious, and has the epic face's well-known mouth on it. It costs 150 robux, same as Mean Green Bandana. I'd say it's quite worth it if you have enough.

Light Tutor
Light Student
This is probably the strangest-looking hat from the Parallel Universe sale. This was made as the counterpart to Dark Tutor. Cleverly named Light Student, the hood is white instead of black and the mask is yellow, and instead of looking like a skull has elegant designs around it. The eyes are pitch-black instead of Dark Tutor's glowing orange ones. At a price of 250 robux, I wouldn't recommend buying this unless you just like it. It's not very good-looking on your character.

Cloak of the Everlasting
Cloak of the Everlasting
Cloak of the everlasting was made as the counterpart to Cloak of the Undying. I find it strange that they made this a hat, because Cloak of the Undying is a gear. The cloak itself goes on your back like a cape, not in front. It's held on your body with what looks like a golden wire, and the cloak is coated with angelic-looking feathers. Priced at a high price of 1,000 robux, same as Cloak of the Undying, I would also not recommend buying this. If it was a gear, it was possibly be useful, but it's barely noticeable at all on your character and has no real use.

Random fact: When this was first released, a false rumor started spreading that if you jumped 4 times and then zoomed in, the cloak would turn you invisible. It doesn't, so don't waste your money.

Operation Desert Anticyclone
Operation Jungle Anticyclone
There's not much to say about this. It's probably the least creative of all the parallel universe retextures. It's basically Operation Desert Cyclone, but darker. I don't exactly understand how this is from a parallel universe, besides the "anti" in the name. The hat is cheap, at a price of 35 robux, so if you're into war stuff this is a good buy for you. In my opinion, though, the original looks better.

Silver Aviators
Silver Aviators
This was made as the counterpart to Golden Aviators. Although it's a clever idea, making the shades silver instead of gold, it wasn't the best hat made for the sale. Gold obviously looks better than silver on hats, and gold items are worth more. The shades are priced at 350 robux, same as the golden version. The price should have been reduced, due to the shades being made of a less valuable metal. The shades look pretty awesome on your character, though, so I'd say it's worth the robux. I would recommend buying the gold version, though.

Flame Vision Goggles
Flame Vision Goggles
The final item released during the Parallel Universe sale, these hot-looking goggles[hahahaha bad pun] were made as the counterpart to Frost Vision Goggles. They're priced at a very high amount, 5,000 robux. In my opinion, these goggles look amazing and are definitely worth the robux. However, they seem to be very unpopular as only 53 copies have been sold in over a week, whereas Frost Vision Goggles have accumulated over 850 at the same price. If you're into fire-related items and have a truckload of cash, this is a good buy for you.

This sale wasn't exactly much of a sale, considering none of these items were limited, or have gone offsale. The retextures are pretty awesome, though, and with a few exceptions are definitely worth the money.
