I was going to give a talk to sales floor colleagues about product knowledge. The theme was to "discover, appreciate and get involved" with everyday stationery objects. So in addition to showing all those creative stuffs you can find on the net (post-it bikini, tricks, hacks, hacks, deco, ads, ads, ads, ads, etc), I showed how a pack of post-it and a marker could fill-up the whole afternoon with fun and laughter with my 3.6 years old son.
First, like many young children, my son can recite A-Z only from beginning to end. When you ask him what is the letter after K, it can take him some time to find out, or with no motivation to do so at all. So I decided to create some imprints of both capital and small letters to his little brain by playing with him a hide-and-seek or treasure hunting all these letters at home.
I would write a pair of letters on each piece of post-it, sticked it somewhere like ceiling in the corridor, window seal, my face, anywhere fun and unusual or unreachable. This already consumed us a long time with unstoppable laughters and aerobic exercises. Some of these locations do correspond to the letters, such as an O on an Orange. The later part of this game was to ask him to find in sequence each letter pairs and he would stick these post-its on the result wall very tidily forming a curved line. It was great fun. We should do more of this exercise.
Another thing he enjoys a lot is to command me drawing something in his mind and he would pick them up to stick on a notebook also quite tidily. Of course comparing to demanding schools/parents, this is no brainer. These days school tends to ask questions like "what's the difference between a clinic and hospital?" or "What would you buy if you have 10,000 dollars?" But we'll see how to make all these leaning a little more fun instead of looking at the pressure aspects.
There are times when an imaginary go-with-the-flow type of story telling made us laugh a lot and remember a lot. I would set the story scene, asked him what's next and then I would elaborate a longer and funnier version, the giggle was just unstoppable. The next day he would dictate me into drawing the whole thing out in simpler version.
Now all these little games are done with analog pen and paper, can digital stuffs totally replace the whole experience? Not in a decade at least. In every age of human existence, we always transcend the corporeal world by creating or tapping into a higher existence, separating the world into ideas (morphe) and tools (hyle), such as a perfect sphere in our mind versus a crafted sphere, in our limiting bodies. We always possess a lot more than what our body or the technology we created can offer, isn't that beautiful? Our on going challenge is to find out how this beautiful link works and make good use of it. And I have a feeling that we are close to experiencing this evolution in our lifetimes. Perhaps 2012?

Knowledge is one powerful aspect of the three great beliefs, to pursue the unknown to study and bring light to a lost civilization with new found facts and truth is knowledge. To know is to guard against prejudice and all forms of ignorance! This way we aren't too quick to judge or make random assumptions. A greater understanding creates a clearer picture of what we are dealing with, it helps us to advance with better technology, to be more conservative with our world and other people! Without knowledge we would be a barbaric empire today!
The surfer's only knowledge,
Of what's going on,
Is the coming of the waves,
In the wake of the dawn.
and
The loss of all worries
The bad, the worst..
Nothing is practiced
Nothing rehearsed.....

I was one of those unusual 80's kids. Most of my peers loved (and still do) every property from that era, whereas my love was generally singular - Transformers. So it goes without saying that Heman and the whole MOTU world wasn't really my thing, but I did have working knowledge of the property through reading and of course, the obsession of friends.
I think right around the time COVID hit the fan, Mattel released a line of vintage styled figures for sale at retail, which in Canada meant Walmart. Without too many gory details, COVID plus poor distribution meant hunting these in person was next to impossible.
It was only in March 2021 that I actually saw actual figures on store pegs, with one lonely She-Ra in the mix, which makes me think she might be the shortpacked figure in this wave.
I don't think I've ever had this much trouble finding a toy with an MSRP of $14.99 CAD.
As mentioned above, these figures are vintage styled, as opposed to being straight up reissues of the 80s toys. Or, in the case of She-Ra here, she's pretty much a newly designed figure, though she does retain the accessories she had as well as the addition of a fabric outfit.
The original items, however, looked much, much nicer, especially since they had chrome as opposed to chromed stickers. I'm also thinking they probably fit on the figure a bit more snug too.
So the contents of the package are the figure, her Power Sword, her shield, and a comic that is so bare bones that it doesn't even have any actual words in it.
The actual toy itself actually isn't half bad for the asking price., and that seems to be the overall vibe from the line on the whole. Detailing is about what I'd expect, as my expectations were tempered from my childhood. You get the major details on the outfit. Body definition isn't bad either, and is shared amongst the other ladies in the line (Teela and Evil-Lyn). The head itself is functional. It's not the doll face of the original toy, but it's a passable attempt at the original 80's Filmation look.
Articulation wise, you get ankles that can rotate and pivot, though nothing that is meant to display the legs splayed. You also get single jointed knees, ball jointed hips, waist, standard shoulders, single jointed elbows with forearm pivot, rotating and pivoting wrists, and a ball jointed head.
Given the price point, the number of joints isn't a letdown at all. I just wish the range of motion was greater, as opposed to generally being capped at 90 degrees. Furthermore, as you can imagine the sculpted hair gets in the way of head movement, though fortunately the plastic is soft enough you can just move it out of the way.
Paint and build quality wise, honestly, I'm pretty happy with. There's no subtlety to the paint work or anything, but the paint apps are smooth and consistent. Decal work is acceptable, and the figure itself doesn't really cause me to have any concerns about it falling apart due to rough handling.
Overall, I'm satisfied with this figure. It doesn't blow my mind, nor was it ever meant toy - it's just a solid, average figure, and there's nothing wrong with that. There is, however, something wrong when companies like Funko make these horrible figures with no articulation that have an MSRP of double these.
Now if I could only find the other ladies...

The Knowledge City would be virtually an extension of Hitec City in Character and business. APIC will auction lands for development of IT/ITES/BPO, Commercial, Hospitality and even Retail use.
Once the legal hurdles are cleared, the development here will result in transformation of the stretch of land between Whisper Valley Junction and Guchibowli Junction. At the moment there are no shops or super markets along the road. But this stretch will develop into major commercial street similar to Madhapur and will cater to requirements of people living in Residential Complexes of L&T, IVRCL and several upcoming ventures at Guchibowli.
