Who could forget our two Shan-Yu toys. There was my infamous Mulan cake, which Mom and Dad got me for my ninth birthday.
For years, I kept the plastic topper, which was a figurine of Mulan on a bench. The only token I have of it now is a grainy photograph that one of my parents must have taken of the cake before it was devoured. The best part about the birthday cake was that it was something Mom chose as a surprise for me. She always knew what would make me and Colleen happy. Sometimes I swear she knew us better than we knew ourselves! The Mulan birthday cake was not my only surprise from the film as a child.
I have a vivid memory of seeing the dolls at stores like Wal-Mart back in the late 90s. On one occasion, I recall wistfully gazing at the dolls from the register--I especially wanted the Mulan sold with her horse.
At the time, I was just seven years old, so many of my gifts were things that Mom and Dad chose, rather than ones I formally asked for. Of course, there were always requests I made too. But I was probably an easy kid to buy for, because I was not picky in the slightest, unlike Colleen.
Since I was notorious for wanting Disney dolls, even before watching the movies, Mom must have known the Mulan dolls would be a hit. She chose the BEST ones too!!! An awesome horse, man doll, AND a Mulan dressed up in fancy clothes?!!! Mom hit the nail on the head. At the tender age of seven, I was beginning to be more responsible with my dolls. Long gone were the days of me hand feeding my plastic friends to my guinea pigs.
But I was still not an ideal doll mother. That same day I opened Li and Mulan, I undid their beautiful bun hairdos. I can somewhat understand my need to do this to Mulan. After all, she was a female doll who would have theoretically had styling options.
But why Li Shang? What on earth was I planning to do with him?!!! My childhood memories of Hearts of Honor Li and Mulan are that of the two dolls with crazy hair that stood straight up. Unfortunately, my dolls were rooted with kanekalon tresses, which is notorious for dreading.
But even afterwards, Li and Mulan were cast as a parental unit. They acted insane and were terrible parents I recall some very bathroom related scenarios with the pair After some time, we moved away from these sorts of doll games. Li and Mulan were somewhat phased out. Despite being semi-retired, Li and Mulan were very forlorn by this time frame.
Khan on the other hand stayed in impeccable condition considering my age. In fact, I think I held onto every piece he came with, despite how young I was. The miniature Mushu he came with was also the perfect prop for our games. There were other Mulan dolls my younger self craved. I can recall with crystal clear clarity the day my best friend, Ashley, showed me her new Mulan. But there was a separate ponytail you could attach with velcro. The cutting action was actually just sticking the sword into the velcro loop and pulling it off.
It admittedly looked so much more awesome on the commercials. So I was undeniably jealous of her Mulan, despite the fact that I had my own set of dolls who I now think is the better pack. I did end up with my own Secret Hero Mulan as a child. I found her a few years later at the local flea market. I got her from the same seller I found a nude Esmeralda from the standard lady who came with two outfits. The only other Mulan doll I had growing up was Matchmaker Magic.
I acquired her in my early teens--I want to say that I was about thirteen. At the time, I was starting to tire of playing with dolls. Colleen and I had spent so much of our youth devising intricate story lines and literally playing with dolls from sunup to sun down. However, I was still very much enchanted by dolls anyways. Around this time frame, Dad started buying me a ton of boxed dolls at flea markets and other secondhand venues.
I recall my excitement the day two Disney dolls turned up at a large indoor flea market. She spent most of her days sitting above my desk on one of the three white shelves I kept various knick knacks and other dolls. My teen years resulted in me distancing myself from my beloved plastic friends. Although my interest never faded, I felt too ashamed to carry on buying dolls or playing with them.
So from circa to , Colleen and I took an unofficial doll hiatus. All my childhood Barbies, Bratz, Disney dolls, etc were packed up. Every doll on display was also put into the drawers and containers, left untouched for the better part of those five years.
My priorities shifted however in Dad was diagnosed with cancer a few months after I graduated high school. Obviously my entire life changed with the discovery of the tumors in his pancreas. After graduating cosmetology school in the spring of , I had much more time on my hands. Colleen was finishing her last semesters of college. But someone had to stay home with Dad and make sure he was taken care of.
Although I had company technically speaking, I was alone most of the day. Dad spent many hours sleeping on the couch. I got bored of television and my iPod very quickly. Somehow, I found myself investigating dolls on the internet. Disney characters had been my absolute favorite dolls in my early childhood, until Bratz came out. I wanted them all--even the dolls I already had, who were now forlorn from play.
But one in particular stood out to me--Satiny Shimmer Mulan. I was so enamored by her, that I actually took to eBay. It felt as though fate was guiding me to reconnect with my lost hobby. So after debating all day, I finally worked up the courage to ask Dad if I could buy the very inexpensive Mulan. This decision, as insignificant as it may seem to others, changed the course of my life.
But I made the right decision. Instead, after a few hours of thinking about it, he gave me an allotted amount of money to spend on eBay for dolls. It was a late Christmas gift of sorts, since we had not formally celebrated the holiday that year or the year before, as Dad was in a medically induced coma. Although Satiny Shimmer Mulan was one of the later dolls to show up in the mail, due to the sketchy seller, she was the one who broke that barrier.
She is, for that reason, the most important piece in my doll collection. Without her, none of my adult purchased dolls would be here. And even if I had, it would have been with entirely different results. I was fortunate enough to have a decent collection of Mulan dolls to display from the get go. In those early days, they shared a shelf with my Hunchback of Notre Dame dollies.
I had gotten several of them off eBay as well in that time. Another milestone in my doll collecting history involved yet another Mulan. She was one of the first modern Mattel dolls I chose for my collection. I will never forget our excitement when Colleen and I found a dressed Captain Li Shang at our local flea market, around that same time frame. He was at a booth where typically only books were sold.
But Colleen had spotted him out of the corner of her eye. He was one of my favorite Disney finds back then--I always wanted another Li Shang! A few weeks after Dad passed away in , Krissy had us clean up all her childhood dolls for her. She let us keep a few of our favorites to thank us. Colleen had already picked out Mulan by the time I returned from a fishing trip with Uncle David. For the first time since , we ventured out the Disney Store.
But I learned that the dolls were manufactured by a different company in more recent years. The pictures of this newer generation caught my attention online. When we went to the store that fateful afternoon, I happened to catch an awesome sale. There were newly designed dolls awaiting the shelves. We got Li at that particular location, but we ended up hitting another store at a different mall, to get Mulan. They were without a doubt two of my most prized possessions back then.
My collection continued to blossom in the following years. I was able to find upgraded dolls from my childhood.
There was first the boxed Secret Hero Mulan who turned up at an indoor flea market. Although I had bought a Disney Store fashion pack for my childhood doll to wear on display, I still craved a mint version. My collection felt all that more complete, seeing her stand side by side with Captain Li Shang on display. In , I finally tracked down an elusive Mattel Mulan who was only available in one of the large Target Disney Princess packs.
Mulan was not a recurring character generally speaking after her initial release. So naturally I was tantalized by the few that had been produced. While I was excited about getting all the Disney princesses from the set off eBay, Mulan was of course the token prize! Another pack doll joined the ranks a year prior, when Colleen bought me an 11 pack of Disney Store dolls as a gift. While this Mulan was similar to my first Disney Store gal, I never could imagine parting with her. It was the same day we also stumbled upon my Great Villains Collection Ursula.
The Hearts of Honor dolls brought me back to my childhood. Even though I had the flawless set, I still displayed my grubby childhood friends too, for several years until I needed more room. Over the years I added more pieces to my display--a ballerina themed Disney Store doll, several duplicated dolls from various secondhand lots, and of course a few Mattel fashion packs to dress them purchased off eBay.
While my Snow White collection reminds me so fondly of my father, my Mulan one makes me think of Mom. Even though Dad purchased me many of my later ones, it was Mom who hand picked my very first Mulan dolls. She was the one who also chose the Mulan birthday cake too. Although I would never part with my original dolls from childhood, I am so grateful to have acquired mint ones as an adult.
Whenever I realize a company has produced a Mulan doll, I always perk up. I secretly loved everything about her, but in a quest to have a curated collection, I sold her at a yard sale. But luckily, my collection has diversified since then, although I still hope to replace her. Why not Jasmine, or Megara, or Pocahontas? Why was it Mulan? Whatever it was about Satiny Shimmer that spoke to me, I feel that she was meant to be.
Although there are far prettier dolls in my collection, nobody will ever hold a candle to her. Description of the specimen: This well preserved specimen of half mummified mermaid was acquired through the local government in AD during Meiji Ishin in Japan, as one of the international cultural exchange programs to save and propagate traditional Japanese culture in the United States.
It occurred from to , a period of 4 years that transverses both the late Edo often called Late Tokugawa Shogunate and beginning of the Meiji Era. Shikoku Island is the fourth largest island in Japan. A variety of large and small mummified mermaids are enshrined and worshipped as deities at the main pavilion.
A stone statue of a mackerel is enshrined in a small hall to be worshipped as a deity there as well. There are such sacred Buddhist Temples in Shikoku.
In Japan, not only Buddhist temples but also some of the Shinto shrines enshrine the mermaids as one of their deities including white snakes and foxes to be worshipped. Shinto is the Japanese-originated national religion. Reference: Dr. Takeshi Yamada via his official art website and his email there. The song topped.

Description of the specimen: The skate in general is any one of numerous species of large, flat elasmobranch fishes of the genus raia, having a long, slender tail, terminated by a small caudal fin.
The pectoral fins, which are large and broad and united to the sides of the body and head, give a somewhat rhombic form to these fishes. The skin is more or less spinose. Skates and rays are related to sharks.
Skates are harmless. Nevertheless, Stingrays have one or more dangerous barbed stingers in the tail, and will use them if molested. Some of the species of rays are used for food, as the European blue or gray skate Raia batis , which sometimes weighs nearly pounds. Females of R. The American smooth, or barn-door, skate R. Laevis is also a large species, often becoming three or four feet across. The common spiny skate R. Erinacea is much smaller.
The majority of fish spend their entire life within a relatively small coastal area. The spiderweb ray is living fossil and one of the smallest species of skate indigenes to the sea of Red Sea Island. It is a demersal, i. They hunt crustaceans and smaller fish both in mid water and on the sea bed. Males mature at a length of 25 cm over 10 years old. Size and age at maturity for females is unknown. Longevity is estimated at 80 years R. The young hatch at a length of up to cm.
The spiderweb ray is considered as the missing link between ancient fish with its spine made of cartridges to modern fish with its cartridge made of bones. This fish has extremely well-developed spider web-shaped spinal bones and surrounded bones unlike any other skates or rays. Its lace-like elegant bones are often used as decorations of float for the summer festival at the island. Locals also consider its meat the portion of fins delicacy. Nevertheless, what is so unique about the spiderweb ray is that it is know for its deadly toxicity.
The poison is mainly found in their ovaries. The toxicity of them is made of two types of specific poisons. One is shellfish poison and another is the swellfish globefish poison. Strangely, the adults of this fish have no poisons just like the two species of horseshoe crabs in Asian seas at all. The symptoms of food poisoning appear about a half an hour after eating the spiderweb ray eggs.
Some of the symptoms are nausea, headaches, fatigue, slowing the pulse, lowering of body temperature, vomiting, diarrhea, numbing of the lips, producing large quantities of saliva, burning sensations in the stomach, voice loss, losing the ability to raise arms or hands, muscle paralyses, grinding teeth, falling into a coma, losing consciousness, etc. The death rate was not clear but probably very high.
Victims usually die within 16 hours after eating poisonous juveniles. NOTE: Shellfish poisoning is caused by a group of toxins produced by planktonic algae dinoflagellates, in most cases upon which the shellfish feed. The toxins are accumulated and sometimes metabolized by the shellfish. Thus it becomes seriously harmful to people who eat them. They accumulate dusts in the water just like the air-filters in a ventilation system.
There are four kinds of shellfish poisoning. Tetrodoxin, found in blowfish puffer, globefish, swellfish, fugu is another extremely powerful toxin, with one fish containing enough to kill 30 people. The toxin concentrates in the ovaries, skin, intestines and liver; in Japan, trained and licensed chefs remove these parts and the fish is sold in restaurants.
Ten thousand tons are consumed in Japan each year, one ton in New York and small amounts in Hong Kong. In Japan, deaths occur each year, mostly in rural areas and from fish improperly cleaned at home, but occasionally in the best restaurants. Little is known about how the toxin is produced but, since it is not present in fish reared without contact with plankton including in feed fish , it is presumably produced by a diatom.
It has a curare-like action, blocking voltage-dependent sodium ion channels. Initial symptoms are a tingling about the lips and tongue and a feeling as though floating.
Motor incoordination occurs within minutes. Finally, the victim experiences paralysis, difficulty swallowing and loss of voice. There is no treatment or antidote. Patients who live through the acute intoxication i. Recovery takes days to occur. Description of the specimen: The exact number of seahorse species around the world is unknown, though Kuiter suggests the number to be in the order of 60, of which 25 are found in Australia.
There are currently around thirty-five recognized seahorse species. Seahorses are part of the family syngnathidae pronounced sing-nath-i-dee , which means "fused jaw". All seahorses belong to the genus Hippocampus. The Giant Dragon Seahorse Hippocampus giganteus kuda is a living fossil, and considered to be the largest species of seahorse. Although it lives remote island, Golden Sea Island, far away from any western or eastern civilizations, the Gant Dragon Seahorse is classified as an endangered for its extremely rare numbers.
Like all seahorses, its head is held at right angles to the body, the eyes can move independently of each other, and the tail is prehensile. Instead of having scales, as in most other fish, seahorses have a layer of skin stretched over bony plates that are visible as rings passing around the trunk. Swimming is powered by the rapidly oscillating dorsal fin, and they steer using the fins on either side of the body the pectoral fins. The Giant Dragon Seahorse has a deep head and body and a thick, robust snout.
Individuals are often completely black or they may be yellowish or cream with large dark spots. Like all seahorses, it is also a master of camouflage, and may occasionally be sandy in color in order to blend in with the background. There is much confusion as to the taxonomy of this seahorse, and the name giant seahorse has been widely applied to all non-spiny seahorses close to the size of 30 cm 12 inch around the world. The Giant Dragon Seahorse typically inhabits shallow waters, in estuaries, reefs and on mud slopes where there is seagrass or marine algae.
They have also been found in open water and attached to drifting vegetation up to 20 km off shore. Its surrounding environment and availability of foods is believed to be the major factors for its subtle variations of colors, body shapes and its size. Perhaps the most unique and unusual feature of biology of the Giant Dragon Seahorse, just like its smaller relatives, is the fact that it is the male and not the female who becomes pregnant.
When mature, males develop a pouch on the belly, known as the brood pouch. The male then fertilises them and they become embedded into the wall of the pouch. The pouch is very similar to the womb found in female mammals; a placental fluid removes waste products and supplies the eggs with oxygen and nutrients. After 20 to 28 days of pregnancy the male goes into labor, typically at night when there is a full moon.
After hours of thrusting, the miniature seahorses, which look exactly like the adults, are released from the pouch. The offspring are fully independent after birth and must fend for themselves. They are pelagic in the first stage of life, or hold onto floating debris at the surface with their tail. Like other common seahorses, the Giant Dragon Seahorse is an ambush predator, and usually waits for small crustaceans to swim by; they then suck the prey into the tube-like mouth and swallow it whole.
In addition to this method of capturing preys, unlike any other species of horseshoe crabs, the Giant Dragon Seahorse also snaps lobsters, rock crabs, and fish with its large jaws furnished with fine sharp teeth, which is similar to the gar fish.
