Barbie?! Pah. A pox upon Barbie. These were my favourite dolls when I was, oh, about 8. I rediscovered them recently due to the magic of the interweb. That is Moth Lady, and Dragon Queen. They were the bad guys (enemies of Golden Girl).
Not that I really expected anyone to know of them, they were pretty obscure. Came out around the same time as He-Man, but no TV series. Moth Lady was the best. She has evil powers, and flight, but - I kid you not - a tendency to be hypnotised by bright lights. Bwahahahaha! She's, like, my favourite ever bad guy. :D
Yes! I had some of those but I have no idea what they're called. I had the purple one there. I think she was evil. I also had a redhead that had gold and red armor and a blonde that had gold armor and little pearl accents. They came with cool metal and rhinestone shields that had clips on them so you could wear the too as a broach or something. I remember their armor designs being cool fantasy designs. Much cooler than She-Ra.
The redhead would be Rubee, and the blonde is Golden Girl (see the theme, cleverly continued with Saphire (sic), Onyx, and Jade? *g*). They were so much cooler than She-Ra! Apparently we were lucky - they were only available briefly.
My mother, who is barmy, heard me waxing lyrical about them last year, and bought me several on Ebay, for Christmas. I sometimes wonder how old she thinks I am. :D
I couldn't decided whether I wanted Rubee (because she had reddish hair or Golden Girl (because she was the leader), so my Grandpa got me both.
Awwwww! That's so sweet!
It's a pity you live the other side of the world - we could have pooled resources. *g* I have Onyx, Dragon Queen, Jade, Moth Lady, Golden Girl, Ogra (weird-ass male doll I don't remember from the first time around), and Saphire, I think... oh, and various bits and pieces. All bought by my mother, last Christmas, in a fit of 'oh my little girl is all grown-up!' (I chucked my original ones years ago, in a ruthless clear-up.)
I loved their pritty, pritty hair. And their cloaks - I loved how brightly-coloured they were. Mmm, shiny... And I loved that they were taller than my brother's He-Man dolls. *g*
