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.

Earlier this week we had a blizzard. Today there was no snow and we had a few minutes of pink light at sunrise, which lighted up this plume from one of the power plants in Binghamton. That is not really smoke. It is moisture coming out of the stack which hits the dry cold air and condenses. The temperature was -3°F (-19°C).
over the last number of days, i've seen some amazing "pink" images, here on flickr, that have stopped me dead in my tracks. while outside, shooting something completely different, (will post these at a later date) ~ i looked over at my newly acquired Trader Joe Guara, at sunset light, and saw these pretty li'l flowers staring pinkishly back at me. click ~ click ~ click ~ so, i am paying homage to "pretty in pink" !
(if i in any way, i have missed one of YOUR beautiful pinks, PLEASE add yourself to the "People in This Photo" on the right and, a view of your image in the comments below, and show me/us YOUR amazing pinks...can't wait to see them!)
honestly, please, please do... like so much... YAY!
...just too start...

Back to school, the Sub-Shop way 🍬📚
Our beautiful Autumn looks positively adorable in head-to-toe bubblegum pink latex—but she still couldn’t resist chewing gum in class! One trip to the chalkboard, a little tape, and a few sweet swats later... and now she’s the prettiest pink lesson in obedience you’ve ever seen.
Firm but fair. Cute but clearly in trouble. Would you have written her up—or kept her after class too?

I had only one girl of my own. I remember dressing her up in pretty frilly stuff. Until one day she told me, "She wasn't wearing that". It was fun up until that day. These two girls were the best dressed out of everyone in the photo. Including mom. Oh yes I can say I am guilty of dressing my girl up, and ignoring my own attire needs. How about you?
These flowers are called "Naked Ladies" because they send out their leaves early in the summer and then they turn brown, dry up and die. Later, the stems emerge followed by the buds and then they open into beautiful lily-like flowers.

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.

amazing day today here in SE Pennsylvania, the sun is shining...the birds are chirping and flowers are blooming...
a blast from my past, "Pretty in Pink" by the Psychedelic Furs, 1986...the year I graduated from high school : ))
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.

After years of being a nail biter, a very quick couple of coats of nail polish before a night out yesterday. I don't paint my nails often and I enjoyed the effect before I smudged my thumb nail and ring finger nail while putting my clothes on. I'd like to be organised when I paint them in future to give them chance to dry before I start the next part of getting ready for a night out! I quite like having nails :)

Trying to figure out what to do for today's shot. Still not feeling 100%.
Sorry this picture isn't much........

‘all of her lovers all
talk of her notes and the
flowers that they never sent
and wasn't she easy
isn’t she pretty in pink?’
-psychedelic furs
BE A MAN- Image 4
in 2013, the washington post reported the case of a 5-year-old boy whose favourite colour was pink. as a result, when the time came to buy his first bicycle, he wanted that steel frame to be a subtle shade of apricot. the parents had no problem with this, and the boy even told the salesman (who tried to tell him that boys should ride blue or red bikes) that colour was just a colour. the people that teased him for this, however, were not the boys in the neighbourhood, but interestingly enough it was the girls. not long after, the boy stopped telling people that pink was his favourite colour. this is but a mild example of how men are impacted by the gender box they have been placed in. we feel like we are limited to how we are able to express ourselves due to a preconceived notion of how we should express ourselves. this is where it becomes toxic and causes issues with self-esteem and self-expression that stem far into our adulthood. as the boy said— pink is just a colour. A dress is just a piece of cloth. Hair is just fine thread-like strands growing from the skin of humans, mammals, and some other animals. we stigmatise the use of various concepts/possession when utilised by individuals that cross then barriers of a metaphorical gender segregated prison they’re held captive in. i don’t know where i was going with this but it’s interesting to think about.
Is it pink or purple? Or maybe fuchsia? I can't tell! Early morning at the Dahlia Farm in Canby, Oregon.
Meet the newest member of our family - my new beloved birthday gift from Andy, Staci, Megan, Nigel, Cristin, Matt, and the rest of the gang. :-) I love her! I really love her! The anticipation of waiting to see what my first 12 shots of B&W film look like is killing me. I have no idea. She's lovely, and pink, and full of excitement. In case you're wondering, her name is short for Stiletto - as I am known for my love of sexy hot shoes. HA! Thanks everyone!
When my body dies, grant that to my soul is given the glory of paradise.
