The Mega Collection of BlackWolf2009 *Updated Jan 26th Black Cat*

[BlackWolf2009]

Yes armed with ye old digital Camera and doing my best with it, I will attempt to show you my CatWoman Collection, While I have a lot this does not make this the best CatWoman collection in the world, But never say never and will try to do my best. For me Catwoman is an old friend in many funny ways, Like many  use to sit and down and Watch Ertha Kitt play catwoman and who could forget her purring voice, Right to Batman Retruns and Michelle Pfeiffer who to date has not been removed as the Catwoman of Catwoman.
Well thats my view anyway. I will not bore you with details about every Catwoman figure, or statue I have I think it just best to show what I have and be done with it. I will not dare show you how many old Dixion Comics I have~!

TotalToyz Respects to your fine work doing big figures is a lot more easy than to do small. Thumbs up!
\Some what annoyed my pictures are not showing.

The year 1984 and a new player was to come into the world of Action figures. Galoob Golden Girl. The market wide open after Filmation done the cartoons for He-Man and Mattel cash cow of MOTU. Some people seen a vast weakness in the market place? Where had the female heros been? Mattel with the original line had just made token effort towards female warriors there was at the time Just Teela and Evil-Lyn. The time was most ripe to step in with positive female super hero's. After all the 6 inch figures had been cheaper than barbies and Galloobs battle plan was to see how line had gone? It would have worked if Lou at Filmation had not got wind of this and we can thank Galoob for She-Ra Princess of power! Mattle was not one for letting anyone getting the better of them.

But my focus will be on my own line and collection, I will explain and review why in some ways a toy line ahead of its time and why it failed!

Galoob had missed the point when they began the Golden Girl Line, No cartoon! It may have been buget reasons why they had not done this, They must have thought Mattel had done what it wanted to do with He-Man line and they have clear run, Regardless when Golden Girl hit the stores they sort of been meet with

This was a line after all aimed at girls and Galoob hoped parents would see this as good thing while the Boys had MOTU, the girls would Golden Girl Guardians of the Gemstone!

But there was the first issue, Price$$$$ Golden Girl came out and was a bit more than the standard MOTU bubble card. Gallob thought lets bring them out boxed!
http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k622/blackwolfgod2009/cutsoms%20for%20Blackwolfgod2009/goldengirl015.jpg[/img]]  
It was a classic case of missing the point with MOTU line, The girls did not see the combs and extra weapons and shields inside, another lost market point again maybe due to Gallob being not so rich as Mattel no mini comic of the girls Adventures!

Aside from that I did buy them at the time because they seemed most exciting, But going by West Australian prices for motu in 1984, MOTU $4.95 a figure Golden Girl came out $12.00!

Ok first figure Golden Girl herself!
http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k622/blackwolfgod2009/cutsoms%20for%20Blackwolfgod2009/goldengirl2007.jpg[/img]]
The golden bakini clad warrioress was an electric shock to myself in 1984, as she was well advanced over Evil-Lyn and Teela she had a but yes her legs and arms could bend, she had better weapons and whats more a cape! And she had hair!!!! Yes Hair!

Moving on Her Arch Foe Dragon Queen who in her relentlist Quest for Evil would own all the gemstones and Control Aragonia!
http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k622/blackwolfgod2009/cutsoms%20for%20Blackwolfgod2009/goldengirl3008.jpg[/img]]
The Dragon helmet, the Samurai sword with dragon hed hild and dragon armour and her shocking pink hair, what evil villiness could not have shocking pink hair in the 1980S. But what was more her BlackCatsuit!!! Talk about being so far ahead even today I look on her in deep wonder!
http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k622/blackwolfgod2009/cutsoms%20for%20Blackwolfgod2009/goldengirl3006.jpg[/img]]
Odd as it may seem she was to be the more hardy of the figures! as time moved on!
But the she was to have friends as well.
In sort of funny reverse to Mattel there was to be token male warriors Ogra was to be to Dragon Queen what Evil-Lyn was to Skeletor, Ogra looked a tad like Skeletor with his Skull armour, but he was alive
http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k622/blackwolfgod2009/cutsoms%20for%20Blackwolfgod2009/goldengirl3011.jpg[/img]]
Take off the helmet and you seen Ogra with his dark looks.
http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k622/blackwolfgod2009/cutsoms%20for%20Blackwolfgod2009/goldengirl3012.jpg[/img]]
 I found it odd besides the Blue Skin in later years you place Keldor next to I felt uneasy, I think Mattel see a whole in its story line and used poor Orgra to fill the gap!
http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k622/blackwolfgod2009/cutsoms%20for%20Blackwolfgod2009/goldengirl3014.jpg[/img]]
Golden Girl was to have her token male side kick as well,  Prince Kroma, Both male figures would be the poor side kicks after the line began they sold fashions not once did they get any of the after line fashion!
http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k622/blackwolfgod2009/cutsoms%20for%20Blackwolfgod2009/goldengirl005.jpg[/img]]
Prince Kroma looked like a Beach Boy who lost his way with the girls and was trapped, while he did look like a bad copy of He-Man body wise the flowing long hair sort of did not help he was a fugitive on the run from He-Man. It will be of interest to note that the Mattel was not going to let Galoob get away with selling girls after sale figure fashion lines as Mattel did just the same thing after Galoob!

But there was much more for once Golden Girl line made darn sure there girls would be well armed. Dragon Queens
cohort Wild One the first figure I ever seen with tattoed legs!
http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k622/blackwolfgod2009/cutsoms%20for%20Blackwolfgod2009/goldengirl3002.jpg[/img]] 
The Battle axe and psychedelic shiled and Horned helmet set her well apart from any other figure I seen before. I say McFarlane coppied more than lead as she was the first to step well outside the mould! How many bad guys on MOTU line had tats? Answer 0 None, not a one!

But there was more in the bad Girls Department to come! Vultura not only did her name sound like some James Bond bad girl, but she looked every inch a bad girl!
http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k622/blackwolfgod2009/cutsoms%20for%20Blackwolfgod2009/goldengirl2009.jpg[/img]]
Her long spear with barbs and talon hand and Vultura art deco shield, Red corset. Streaked hair, and highlight eye shaddow, You could but help fall in love with this figure! Its been 25 years now and still look on her with sense of WOW! You can see why she was made head Sorceress
But let us not forget the weakest link in the bad Girl Line, Moth Lady! When you read the titile it seemed most lame her credits was she could sly and spy, Her name did not help much sounding more like you had to fear you lose your best jacket if you did not get the moth balls out in time.
http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k622/blackwolfgod2009/cutsoms%20for%20Blackwolfgod2009/goldengirl3005.jpg[/img]]  
While dark Purple outfit did help and the skull on armour made her look some what evil, Sadly being armed with trident and did not help, her wings as expected moth like. This was Galoobs half ass try at Doing a female Buzz off deal. It would have been far better giving her batwings and giving her a name like Vampress! Thats just my view!  

Back to Golden Girls friends
Jade! Her red hair and Green and yellow armoured body suit kind of made me think now and back then female Man-At-Arms!
http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k622/blackwolfgod2009/cutsoms%20for%20Blackwolfgod2009/goldengirl2004.jpg[/img]] 
Saphire was looking more like a Beach babe who lost her way on set and ended up with the girls, but she got one mean kick ass sword! Star shield!
http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k622/blackwolfgod2009/cutsoms%20for%20Blackwolfgod2009/goldengirl003.jpg[/img]]
But lets not forget the token figure here Onyx. Yes as much as Clamp-Champ was to MOTU Onyx was to Golden Girl!Outfit was well ahead of its time and style!
http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k622/blackwolfgod2009/cutsoms%20for%20Blackwolfgod2009/IMG_0001.jpg[/img]]
Last but not least Rubee the red head Bakini lady with the cross bow also looked good.
http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k622/blackwolfgod2009/cutsoms%20for%20Blackwolfgod2009/goldengirl3009.jpg[/img]]

There was horses as well that came out with chariots One was Shadow sadly the first victim of the this was the chariots feel apart so to date not been able to get one, But the Shaddow came out with a glowing crystal on his head still works today!  
http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k622/blackwolfgod2009/cutsoms%20for%20Blackwolfgod2009/goldengirl014.jpg[/img]]

there is also a white unicorn called Olympia, will get pictures up if anyone wants to see!

Then to top it all of there was the the Golden Girls Palace of gems, where they could hang out and talk about fashion and other girls stuff!
http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k622/blackwolfgod2009/cutsoms%20for%20Blackwolfgod2009/goldengirl001.jpg[/img]]
Unlike Castle-Greyskull there was a chicks hang out for sure, it did have some real cool ideas like GreySkull, it had trap door and a prison! Mattle got wise with Crystal Castle and avoided the subject of young females holding each other in Prison!!!  

The sad fact was with out Cartoon and Comics this line was born to fail. Not to mention the vast defects in the line its self, excample the armoud on DQ did fall apart if used to often!
http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k622/blackwolfgod2009/cutsoms%20for%20Blackwolfgod2009/goldengirl013.jpg[/img]] 
Pegs on figures legs would break if force to often or just pop off , Gallob also re-used old plastic from other failed toy lines, so VDS became a factor with spots on the skin. Where are Princess Of Power figures not only came out cheaper but for the most part more hardy than the Golden Girls, the Princess of Power line showed its combs and mini comics and again the playsets much more hardy than those of Golden Girl. With in a year the line was canned after She-
Ra came out Gallob despite its great advanced idea's failed to capture a market they at the start had a solid lead on.
Early to bed Early to rise does not mean a thing unless you Advertise! They are worth some money, but not near as much as the She-Ra Princess of Power Line, This is my living collecion, in otherwords had most since new! But be warned if you are going to collect them, get spare figures for Extra parts!

I hope you enjoyed this any questions Please post below!

I think you are missing the point Wolf, these were produced in Argentina, I'm from Argentina, and I can probably get one easy. I was offering if you wanted me to get it for you....

Very well written review my friend. I have heard of the line before, but didn't know it ever made it to the playset stage .(which was a big deal in the 80's)

Kudos for keeping the original packaging. There is no way when I was a kid that I would have kept anything MOC or even kept the package at all.

[Freak Studio]

Are you kidding me? How much do this things cost? Just PM me your address, I'll take a trade or a raincheck for a trade, but I'm not charging you for this.
