(They used to make one called Rings of Fire with even better art, but I think they've been discontinued.)

I do not have Pacific Islander ancestry myself, but I have been practicing the Samoan art of Siva Afi (fireknife dancing) for 12 years. I worked with world-champion fireknife dancers, Samoan speakers, and a Samoan artist to create a card game about it:

Cheehoo!

I doubt I'll be able to repair it because (a) I don't really know anything about electronics and (b) the guts are all glued deep inside the thick PVC pipe that makes up the body of the thing.
Backup plan is to just spin a knife with no wick attached, as a sort of ailao.
The Fire Marshal won't let us use fire right now because it hasn't really rained in a month and the landscape is too crispy.

Haven't seen the movie yet, but looking forward to it!
On a related note, some trace the Samoan fireknife to a weapon used by the warrior queen Nafanua.

While most modern-day fireknife dancers are are male, women certainly participate.
