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!)
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.
Thought this would continue the Neon plug for our OhioFoothills group. Challenge entries are due this weekend.

Caitlin: I need a vacation
Iris: You are on vacation! You're even drinkin' a smoothie that looks like something from Disney.
Caitlin: I'd rather be at Disney.
The girls were a little bored on their weekend. Lucky for the restless Cait- I brought her with me on my vacay. She wants to go outside, though.
Sorry about the background- Cait lives next-door to the Batcave.

Youngsters modelling their own creations @ Liverpool's world record breaking "Very Big Catwalk" fashion event
First flowers, Sept 2024.
I am still incredulous that I had never seen or heard of this Mediterranean-zone daisy genus until a few months ago, when I saw a photo of it (unidentified) while rummaging though photos of mediterranean gardens in Pinterest, and googled to find out what it is. I then mail-ordered this plant, from Diggers Club, during winter.

At the end of the Rocks Photo Walk I came across a young model posing for photos. One side of the alley was old and rustic (as you'd expect to see in The Rocks). The other side was modern with clean sharp lines. Quite a contrast.

one of the events I attended this weekend.... a luncheon to raise money to fight breast cancer..a sold-out event...which will likely earn more than $ 10,000 in our small towns...you can read more about it in our local online newspaper :
People attending were urged to wear something pink...and when you add the great decorations the committee provided, ribBons, flowers, lights...the effect was very colourful.... and the atmosphere was a a lot of fun.
A few photos here...so that you can get the idea...but I urge you to look at the link for the whole story .
Burnt Orchid "Late Form (Neotinea ustulata var. aestivalis) on the South Downs, South Downs National Park, East Sussex England
While not nearly as intense this season, this "Pink" specimen is possibly the most beautiful example of a Burnt Orchid that we've ever seen. With special thanks to our local friend for the heads up about this amazing, Pretty in Pink, Burnt Orchid
