Fire Fighters Prayer

 

When I'm called to duty God

wherever flames may rage

give me strength to save a life

whatever be its age

 

Help me to embrace a little child

before it is too late

or save an older person from

the horror of that fate

 

Enable me to be alert

to hear the weakest shout

and quickly and efficiently

to put the fire out

 

I want to fill my calling and

to give the best in me

to guard my neighbor and

protect his property

 

And if according to your will

I have to lose my life

bless with your protecting hand

my children and my wife.

This is the side panel of an arcade game, where the user is supposed to punch a leather bag as hard as they can (most just kick it) - and they rate your strength. The game is called girl fighter, but I've never seen any girls playing it. It could be a training device... a lot of domestic abuse here.

Named because its... mostly blue... And because bluejays are mean. And I didn't feel like making a cool name or something... Sorry if the images are bad for the next few weeks, I'm using someone else's computer and it doesn't have photoshop and I'm not so good with GIMP.

After barely escaping imperial fleest with the old Z-AV, Kass Mothma realized that he needed more speed and better control, with that in mind he decided to do some modifications to it, to keep it lightweight, the laser canon had been removed and replaced with 4 homing ion missiles and laser turrets, for better control wings were added, and for more speed a much powerful central engine installed along with maneuver assist engines at the end of the wings for a much needed agilty and renamed the fighter T-AG for its shape an agility.

born William Ward in Norfolk VA

 

American boxer

 

"Norfolk was a short and stocky fighter who was quick and powerful; He possessed a natural instinct for fighting and took on all-comers, large or small; In a career of 103 bouts, he lost just 15 - against top-flight, world-class competition; The "Kid" is one of the super, over-looked fighters in boxing history who should have had a title shot but never received it

 

During his career, he defeated such men as Harry Greb, Billy Miske, Battling Siki, Jeff Clark, "Tiger" Flowers, Lee Anderson, Jack Blackburn, Arthur Pelkey, "Big" Bill Tate, Tom Cowler, George Robinson, Dan "Porky" Flynn, Clay Turner, Black Fitzsimmons, Jamaica Kid, John Lester Johnson and James "Tut" Jackson."

Well folks.. we've made it. As I'm writing this, it's 2 pm Eastern Standard Time and I'm pretty sure that most of the world has started to say "good riddance" to 2020.

 

My final entry this year isn't so much just a figure, but I'm hoping that I'm able to coin a new word in the Popular Lexicon... "Butterknees". Because Butterknees is the theme of this figure.

 

Play Arts Kai Super Street Fighter IV Chun Li.

 

Released way back in 2012, there had been no really good Street Fighter action figures. The SOTA ones were weak sculpts and the Revoltech ones only had like two characters. So, along came these Play Art Kai figures which honestly got me excited.. yeah, the prices weren't great, but at least these seemed to be much better than what we had before.

 

I ended up not buying any of them because, well, the knees were just awful. I mean.. look at the things. It's a real shame because I really do like the overall look of the figure but did they ever FUBAR those things. Muscular legs and general musculature on the arms, coupled with a decently curvy (albeit thin) upper body and a halfway decent head sculpt. There would eventually be a revision to the leg design, which was first showcased with Sakura, whom I purchased in Vancouver back in 2018.

 

So I eventually ended up wit this one as it's a Chun Li, and a local guy had been trying to move her to no avail. So I bought the figure, knowing about the knees but ultimately being reminded why I generally detest the product itself.

 

The figure never did come with much. I'm not sure if this one came with a stand or not, but otherwise the figure is all there - the figure, one additional mouth open sculpt, a pair of open palms, and a Kikoken effect with stand.

 

The articulation of Play Arts Kai have always been... above average at best. You get ankles, those glorious double jointed knees *shudders*, hips with thigh twist, waist, mid torso joint, shoulders with butterfly joints for crossing the arms, elbows with forearm rotation, wrists, and of course, the head. Generally speaking, its real.ly the skirt that gets in the way of the legs but otherwise you're alright. for a figure of this size. Your only real other option at this time was the Medicom 1/6 Chun Li , which came in SFIII and SFIV varieties.

 

The paint is... typical for a Play Arts Kai release. They've honestly never had a really good track record, only becoming more competent as it were when prices for PAK reached close to $200 CAD (these were around $80 CAD), so you get that expected mix of competent and horrible paint applications.. Overall the figure is presentable, but definitely best enjoyed from a viewing distance of 6 ft. away or further.

 

It's the Build Quality that is truly, truly outrageous.

 

Now I know this is a used figure, but at the same time I've heard stories through the grapevine about how poor the QC on these things could be. There are two major issues with this figure. First, you'll notice that the upper torso is misaligned at the shoulders. As a result, one of the Butterfly hinges is always exposed. Furthermore, this also causes a great deal of difficulty when you're trying to pose the arms the same way on both sides of the body.

 

The bigger of the two issues would be the legs, or more accurately, the hip joints. These things are TERRIBLE. They basically don't want want o hold the leg in place, with the right hip looking particularly bad. You could attribute this to play wear, but at the same time the left hip looks pristine, and the thing isn't really holding in place either. Couple this with the history I have with PAK and crappy joints even fresh out of the box, and I'm leaning towards QC issues right out of the factory.

 

I've read that using some 3M joint tightening adhesive might help, so I'll have to research that in the future.

 

So yeah... missed opportunity coupled with really bad QC. This entire line up would eventually be forgotten due to the passage of time and of course, the advent of the Storm Collectibles and Figuarts line ups, both of which are overall superior to the PAK releases, though of course there can still be some misses.

 

Have a great New Years, everyone.
