Part of a new photo shoot, and better shots of my "pretty in pink" outfit I wore a month ago up in Sacramento, CA
I had to go and tell the nice neighbour up the street that she now has a new pet....Max and I encountered her "black and white cat" while we were walking at 6:00 am this morning....namely a skunk living under her step (all I had stuck in my head after was "Postman Pat and his Black and White Cat" after I saw it LOL). I figured it was living under the step as when it saw Max and I (thank heavens I walk on the other side) after snacking on grubs and what not (the skunk not Max and I) on her front lawn it ski-daddled (yes that is a word...my mum and dad used to use it) under the concrete step where there was an opening.
There are some gorgeous flowering crab trees along the way so I couldn't help it...I had camera around neck while I went to do a public service and let her know.
Flowers just make you feel good and these really made me smile (plus the fact that my step has no openings for new pets!! LOL)
Woot Woot...it's the start of a Long Weekend here in Canada...we are celebrating Victoria Day!! Happy Birthday Queen Victoria!! Here though we fondly refer to it of late as the May TWO FOUR WEEKEND :-) (Beer here comes in cases of 24 so you figure it out LOL)
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you all know that I appreciate your comments, awards and such and if I don't get to answer you all please know that I am busy looking at your photos "-)

For... reasons, 2020 was the year of Arcee, that lovable female Autobot that most of G1ers are familiar with. There was the recently released MP, the unofficial Nicee, and now, Magic Box Peach Girl.
A dainty little thing, measuring around 4 inches in robot mode, "Peach Girl" is an articulated figure, with a vibe that reminds of what Choro-Q might have been had Takara marketed it towards the more hardcore collector crowd.
The figure was around $40 USD from a store overseas, shipping included. Not too many accessories, just a gun and a dagger/sword.
While Nicee was ironically going for the naughty look, Peach Girl is going for the nice. Cute aesthetic including those much adored Super Deformed proportions. Same experience you'd have if you have a toddler... except one that listens to you and can turn into a car. Peach Girl has the added bonus of actually looking like Arcee - not that it's a huge selling point or anything for me, but I mention it because I remember several Nicee patrons complaining how they couldn't go forward with the purchase because it no longer had the Arcee head.
*sigh*.
Articulation wise, Peach Girl is packing some good stuff. Before I forget, she actually ankle spurs that help her stay standing... completely missed those and as you might have guessed, they were never referenced in the instructions. She's got ankle side tilts, single jointed knees, hips with thigh swivel, mid torso rotate with some ability to tilt up, ball jointed shoulders with "shrugging" capabilities, bicep swiivel, single jointed elbows, wrist rotation, neck tilt and head rotate.
Not a bad package for such a little figure, though as always, the extra articulations is brought to you by the transformation. Pretty much all you'd want in a typical figure is here, with the exception of a waist... oh, and I guess forward tilting ankles too.
Paint wise, there isn't really a whole lot to write about. It's mostly coloured plastic, though at least it's nice coloured plastic. Paint apps are alright. They're clean and evenly applied, with some minute masking errors. Nothing that would immediately be drawn to your eye. The colours chosen are generally bright and lively, which matches the tone of this figure nicely.
Build quality is always a key factor when discussing tranforming toys and, well, it's generally hit with some misses. You're generally alright in robot mod. There's no issues with limb lengths, joint strength, material choices. QC on assembly gaps is not bad, and finishes are at least on par with the newer Hasbro stuff. The gun's handle is a tad too big and doesn't want to fit into either fist whereas the knife/sword fit in perfectly.
Much like the Hasbro stuff, however, any inherent issues with build come out in vehicle mode. First, a quick blurb about the transformation - it's super fun. You can probably tell from the photos, but this is an Arcee-esque vehicle mode as opposed to the more overtly Arcee that Nicee gunned for. That's because half of her transformation involves you stuffing Peach Girl into her head cavity.
So as I was saying transformation is pretty neat, unfolding parts of her head then having the car shell appear around her, and is relatively simple. Tabbing parts together isn't as flawless as I'd like, though accomplishable. Also, positioning of the wheels is finicky, as if they're not just right they won't spin. It IS really neat, however, that Peach Girl's earmuffs become wheels. There's spots for the weapons in vehicle mode as well.
Overall, not bad. Not perfect, but it holds and plays just as well as your typical mainline release. It's a third party figure that I don't need to worry too much about its fragility, and it's an Arcee to boot.
A neat toy with loads of personality.

To all of my friends...I plan to catch up on my comments soon. I promise. I miss you all!!
Ashley and Manny were such good sports today at posing for the cameras. Manny especially is such a ham when the cameras come out as you can tell. He is certainly going to grow up to be a ladies man.

One more, just for fun. My granddaughter in pink, with her pink boots. Done quickly as she isn't inclined to pose, therefore the tacky chair.
don't know what type of flower this is. maybe some type of mini carnation, but it grows in mass prufusion - with the dog violets, in the woodlands along the becks. langholm, dumfriesshire, scotland.

The seismic retrofit underway outside my window feels like an architectural root canal.
The whole building was resonant with the drill today.
These tiny pink buds are less than 1cm across. The bush, in my friend's garden, is in full flower at the moment and looking gorgeous. Does anyone know what it's called?

Thank you Vintage Findings and Kim Klassen for the textures.
The 1986 movie "Pretty In Pink" (top) starring Molly Ringwald, Jon Cryer, and Andrew McCarthy was shot using this location of Andie's home which is a private home in South Pasadena, CA. This home is literally on "the other side of the tracks".
This location is at 1010 Hope Street.
thankfully pie is secure enough in his manhood to wear the hot pink front-chest harness. less pull, more hotness!

Finally settled with her Popcorn and Cola, Pinkie watches her movie..
(It's been an insanely busy week.. My apologies to the Pink Sweater Project'ers for Pinkie withdrawal symptoms.. she'll be moving on to Cyaniona tomorrow!)
A couple better-quality photos by Rachelle.
I was certainly noticed (and complimented) on my outfit, that's for sure.
Now, I just need to work on the hair a little bit more, and, of course, get some shoes with better support - Heels are nice, but cheap ones definitely show when it comes to how my feet feel. ^_^;
