Women Action Figures

In the Northeast, the winter has been 

pretty mild.  Whenever the temperature 

is over 32 degrees, people are at the 

 Flea Market selling their wares.

I got to there on Saturday, not many

dolls but I did find these two ladies.

Don't know who they are.

Lady No. 1

Lady No. 2 

11 1/2 inches tall 

Articulated 

On their backs 

both are marked M & G

Looks like they have their original outfits 

Most likely had accessories but they weren't

with these ladies.

Anyone have an idea who they are?

World Peacekeepers

I stopped in at Big Lots today 

to see if they had the World Peacekeepers. 

Surprised they had them because I never 

have seen them there before. 

They had a lot of blond haired figures 

one with dark hair and another with gray. 

No AA figures. 

I picked up the one with gray hair 

since he looked like he could be used as 

a father to one of the ladies. 

World PeaceKeepers

I realized he had black gloves on his hands. 

Opened the package and found out that 

that the hands pop off. 

Will have to see if I have any hands for 

this gentleman.

Princess of Power - Personal Treasure Hunter

I found these girl Action Figures a couple of weeks ago 

at the Thrift Store. They looked vaguely familiar. So I 

did some research and found out they were from 

The Princess of Power 

Spin-off of He-Man.

Usually marked on her neck or back.

Next is: Scratchin' Catra (lever on her back) 

Then we have Frosta 

The other 3 I found were

Mermista

Friends have been asking what am I going to do since I 

am retired.  It got me to thinking what can I do with my extra time.

I've decided I don't want to substitute teach. 

It had to be something I love, which is finding the elusive treasure. 

(Dolls, action figures, children's books, etc) 

Instead of just putting items on E-Bay to sell, I thought 

I would ask collectors what they are looking for and the price they

would like to pay, condition etc.  And then in my travels (I am going anyway)

if I find the treasure,  that person has first chance at buying it at a fair price plus shipping costs. 

I frequent thrift stores, garage sales, flea markets, estate sales  and major department stores.

At this time, I will only be looking for collectors in the United States and will

see how that goes. Then hopefully will open up to other countries. 

Leave a comment what you are looking for along with an e-mail 

address where I can contact you.
