America's Finest Fireman Action Figure 21st Century Toys 1/6th Scale 2000!

 Hey Gang!

Back in 2000, I purchased this action figure. It is the 21st Century Toys America's Finest Fireman.  I have the African American version. 

Cover!
Back!
Face
Tools
.
This was a time in my collecting when I purchased several action figures because there weren't many black male doll options.

Out of the box
He has an interesting face! He looks a lot like someone you would see on the street.
Back
Pants and great boots.

Warning: Nude doll/action figure.

He has the Ultimate Soldier action figure body.



I decided to make him my Fire Chief. His name is Woodrow"Woody" Reid.  
He will need a Fire Station and other firefighters.. Let me see what I can do about that.
Woody: Well, it's about time, Ms. Leo! I have been sitting around here for years.

OK, Thanks For Looking!

The Magic Of Merlin!

 Hey Gang!

I first saw the Merlin and Morgan Le Fay doll set in Barbie Bazaar. I don't think I ever saw them in Toys R Us. 

Photos are from Barbie Bazaar.
Barbie Bazaar did an interesting photo shoot with the dolls, too! 










Morgan's face looked exotic. 
And there was something about the gray hair of Merlin.

While browsing eBay, I spotted him at a great price, so I had to put in a bid and won! He came out of the box without shoes. No biggie! Here he is.
Close up!
Under the beard, he has the 40th Anniversary Ken doll headsculpt.
The rest of his outfit is complete with great details. I love the embellishment on the cuff and shawl.
The back.
Note the embroidery on the shawl.
Once the hat is removed, you can get a good look has this hair. It is soft, Baby fine, and a little fly-away.
It is full.
Out of his robe, he has the 1977 articulated body. You can't see it for the beard.
So I moved it aside.
To make him usable as a character, some of the beard will have to go. The fly-away hair will have to be addressed. I will post him after his makeover.

OK, Thanks For Looking!

Gear Stift Hoodies!

 Hey Gang! 

The other day, I went to Auto Zone to get some antifreeze and saw these there!  

Gear Shift Hoodies!

Why would your gear shift need a hoodie? I don't know! I thought they would look good on dolls. The scale of the drawsting is off, but I can replace it.
I posted them on Facebook and was informed they sell them on Amazon! I went to Amazon and ordered this!

Then I learned that they can be purchased on AliExpress! I haven't ordered the ones from there yet. You know the tariff thing! I am still waiting to see what happens with that.

My crew in their hoodies!

Geremy, Cherelle, Malik, and Leif

OK, Thanks For Looking!

May is Disney Month! I have Bert!

 Hey Gang!

I broke down and purchased Bert!

Promo Photo!

I purchased him mint in the box! The box was wrapped in plastic.
Back of box.
He is shown posed on a carousel horse, waving. His outfit consists of a white shirt with a blue bow tie, white pants that snap in the back, and a white jacket with red, gold, and orange stripes.
The jacket has great detail! It is lined and snaps closed.
It has a pocket on the front.
The jacket has a slit in the back.
He wears a straw hat with a band that picks up the colors in his outfit.
He has a cane! WOO HOO! None of my other dolls has a cane! I have plans for that cane.
Blue socks to match the bow tie with white shoes.
Oh, and white gloves.

Dick Van Dyke is one of my favorite actors! I loved hin in the Dick Van Dyke show. At 99, he is still working. He stared in a Colplay video on his 99th birthday.
