Asian Holiday Ken Doll! Updated!

 Hey Gang!

I purchased the Asian Signature Holiday Ken Doll from Amazon when it was on sale for $14.99! He is still on sale now!

Promo Photos!


He uses the Brandon face sculpt, first used for Barbie The Looks, Ken doll #17.
Also used for the Barbie The Movie Asian Ken doll, played by actor Simu Liu.
Comparing!

I had heard that he had a strange complexion and had to do a body match. People said he had a yellow complexion. 
I purchased Disney Fiyero body for him. The Fiyero body had a slight yellow cast.
It isn't perfect, but it works! The body is a little thicker than the model-muse body he came on.
 I am calling him Choa.

OK, Thanks For Looking!

Titan Hero Series Legend of the Ten Rings action figures- Wenwu and Shang-Chi!

 Hey Gang!

Back in Nov. of 2011 I found these action figures at Target and thought I would come back and get them.  When I went back they were gone. Well I found them again at Forman Mills! Forman Mills is a discount store and they have a few in my area!

So if you know me, you know that I have not seen the movie these action figures are from but I will try to see it soon. Because of this, I don't know much about the characters Wenwu and Shang-Chi. I thought that their faces were interesting and would make a great add!
Shang-Chi
Wenwu
Their costumes are molded on their bodies. They are two different complexions.

Warning Nude Dolls!

Let's see this action figures compared to Ken. They are shorter than Ken.
Lets see what they would look like on articulated bodies.
All they need now is clothes!

OK, Thanks For Looking!

Bruce Lee

Hey Gang!

As you read this post, you will see how it does relate the the post below it.  So please hang in there!

One of the first movies I went to see as a teenager (and with my first boyfriend) was Enter The Dragon!  I only went because he was taking me.  It was not a movie that I would have picked on my own.  Seeing this movie open my eye to what type of movies I might find interesting and what types of guys I might date.  I remember a scene where he flexed all the muscles in his back. OMG!  I was spellbound by that.  Thinking back on it, I am soo glad the theater was dark and my boyfriend couldn't see the look on my face.

Mattel had done a few Asian dolls but it was not until recently that they did an Asian Ken.  Yes, I have the Asian Ken.  The closest they got was Captain Li Shang, which I also have.  My first Asian male purchase was the Play Along Toys Bruce Lee Master.  Play Along's Bruce Lee action figures aren't the best likeness of Mr. Lee out there but it was the first one I saw.  To read more on Play Along Toys see post on them by clicking here.

Play Along first released Bruce lee in  1999.  A year after the release of Mulan and the Captain Li Shang doll. They did three head sculpts of Bruce Lee.  This is the one I have! He looks younger than the rest.


As with most Play Along Toys action figures, the clothing is very well made.  It is of good fabric, nice design and strong seams.  The closure of the jacket is a nice touch.  He comes with an extra set of hands (that can be used for other action figures) and lots of weapons.  This is his training gear.  You might have see Xia with the weapons!



They also did a second Master head sculpt with this face. In their Bruce Lee series was a Legend Bruce Lee and Warrior Bruce Lee.


I saw this one on line too.  Play Along updated the dolls faces and bodies often in production. This is a new face and body than the others.  I believe he is the Warrior.  You might notice that this body is different from the ones above.


Hey It's Muff, I didn't know you were a Lee fan so these pictures are for you!

So lets give him a good look!

 The Legend action figure from the Bruce Lee "The Dragon Series" produced by Play Along Toys in
2000.  This was a good purchase for me even if I didn't know it at the time.  I got him on sale at Toys R Us when he was being discontinued.  He was my first Asian male.


Bruce is a bit shy and didn't want nude pictures of him on the web with a lame exclaimer


As you can see from the picture, he has to sets of extra hands! 
He has the balled fists, a set of slightly opened hands and a set or open hands.  Most Play Along and Jakks male doll ( I will explain this later) and action figures have one open and one slightly hand.

Example Aaron Carter.


So he has a more expressive hand options!  Note newer Jakks action figures don't have hand joints.  These jointed hands are removable.  They also have the same size pegs but a little shorter on the end of the hands as Power Team guys.  The can easily be use as Power Team hands too.

Example:  Power Team Guy.  PT hands are the ones with the longer stem.


So if you see an old Aaron Carter or other P.A.T. or Jakks action figure for cheap, purchase them for their hands!  Here we have the two guys together.  PT guy has on of Bruce's hand and one of his own.  Bruce's hands are a little more tan and not as pink a PT guy.  Aaron is a closer match but Bruce's hands can do in a pinch!

He has an articulated torso also.

Photo: Aaron Cater, Power team guy and Bruce Lee
He also has articulated ankles.

This makes him quite pose-able!  Here he is warming up for his dance class.


Here is a close-up of his face.  

He looks kinda young to me so he will be a teen in my dolly world.

I put a shirt on him for the final shot!


OK! Thanks For Looking!

Li Shang

You might have noticed from my blog that I have more that one Mulan doll!
What you didn’t know is that I have two Li Shang dolls also! My latest coming
in the mail today! I purchase him nude on eBay. I would have like to have
his outfit but then it would be something else taking up space around here!
It worked out best the way it is!


So, Ms Leo why do you have two Li Shang dolls? First, because they are
different, second because the new one was cheap and third because a dang
well please!

I found it interesting that Disney does one doll by Mattel and then will produce
another version of the same doll with another company. I don’t have the non-Mattel
doll’s box, so I can say what the name of the company of the second doll is.
Mattel will have it's name on many parts of the doll it makes.  Others won't go that far
and may only put the company name on one place like the head or the body. Sadly,
neither part had it on this doll.  Often the non-Mattel dolls don’t look as
good and/or has a poorer quality body. But I can't say that with Li Shang.
So let’s give these guys a good look!

Here is a boxed picture of the Mattel doll.

I can’t show you my doll's picture because my dolls get de-boxed quickly.



The Mattel doll has the gift giving arms and articulated legs.
Arms

Legs




Will I find a new body for him? Maybe, but he Isn’t high on the body list
right now. He is quite handsome!


He has a mischievous smirk on his face. I have had fun playing with him!
He has a rub on one eyebrow from years of play. He has soft brown
eyes and a tan rosy complexion.  He is a bit of a rascal around here.
I haven’t purchased any new clothing for him in all the time I‘ve had him
nor have I taken him out of his outfit. So that will have to change! Feel
free to comment and suggest some outfits! Links with pictures are
especially helpful.

Here is the non-Mattel doll boxed




What you can’t tell for that picture is that this doll has articulated arms
but not legs! Wow, put them together and you will have a whole articulated doll!
 Oh well!

Arm

Legs

The Face!  He too is handsome but in a more rugged way!


He has a different face sculpt. He has black eyes, a larger slightly wider
 face and the lips are slightly fuller and more nude that then the rosy color
of the Mattel version. His complexion is tan rather than the rosy compexion
of the Mattel and his facial expression is friendly and not mischievous.
His nose is straighter too.

Close up of Faces.

Mattel: I'm cuter!

Mattel: Hey, what are you doing back there!

Warning! Nude Doll Shots Coming!




Mattel hasn’t thought that many men need undies!



The feet are …
Non- Mattel                                 Mattel

you guessed it …wider too!
Ok, that's it!


Thanks For Looking!

More on Trina

More on Trina!

If you have been following my blog, you will know that
Trina Trent is a reservist stationed at Johnston
Military Base. Here she is in the local park on her lunch.


She followed Etienne here
to be in charge of the reservist Unit.


Etienne wanted some he trusted in
this position. He talked her into it.


When she is not serving as a reservist
Trina still wears a uniform.


She is Police Chief/Commissioner of
Johnston police department (JPD). Etienne wrote her
a letter of recommendation and told the Mayor he would be
a darn fool if he didn't hire her for the position.
Let's see...one part praise and two parts intimidation.
That's Etienne and that why he is her friend!


Policing isn't new to her. Her father was the chief of police
in the town she grew up in and


she started her military career as an MP.


This is Collin Kashiwahara and Miles Miller.
They are Trina's number 2 and 3.


Trina always loved Charlie’s Angels as a child.


Collin is also a reservist. He is a member of Trina unit. He
is also her number 1 in the unit. He is the get it done guy.


Miles is not military. He joined the force because they paid
for your college degree. He has enrolled in Johnston
University. He is majoring in Criminal Justice/Pre-Law.
He likes to make sure all the I’s are dotted and the T’s are
crossed. She likes having that end of things taken care of.
That makes everything neat and tidy if the Mayor has any
questions.

Being a reservist and Chief of police keeps Trina busy.

OK, lunch is over and it is back to work.

Until next time!
