Boy Scout Action Figures Video Of The Month!

 Hey Gang!

The first time I saw the Boy Scout action figure was on Roxanne's Dolls! She had a great post about the BFF Ink doll Calista doll and Boy Scout Bob. The running posts were in a dear dairy style about a young girl. Calista's love interest was Bob the Boy Scout.  I looked him up and he was made by Kenner!

Nerd Rage did a great video on the action figure and I posted it below.

"A brief history of Kenner's Boy Scouts of America Line A.K.A. Steve Scout. which came out in 1974, and ended in 1975."

 

One of the points made in the video is that Bob and the other scouts' heads might fall off with play. So if you have them, be careful or have glue! Also, since these action figures are 40 years old, the uniforms aren't always in the best of shape. Many are pretty faded. The shirts on my uniforms have holes. They are made from cotton.  The pants are made of twill and have seemed to hold up better.

Boy Scouts Steve and Bob are 9  3/4 inches tall. Cub Scouts are Craig and Dave are 8 1/2 inches tall.

In their uniforms, Craig in the blue and Steve in the khaki green.  

Craig is the blonde and Steve is the redhead.
In their uniforms AA scouts, Bob in the khaki green and Dave in the blue.
Bob is the tall one and Dave is the shorter one.
The Boy Scouts do a three-finger salute and the Cub Scouts do a two-finger salute.


Warning! Nude bodies!

The Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts are definitely action-figure bodies! They have broad shoulders and narrow waists. They are more muscular than other kid dolls of the same size. 
They are more than Stacie-size dolls.
Thighs, calves, and arms are beefier. 
Steve and Bob can wear some Stacie-size boy clothes and CreateableWorld world doll clothes depending on the cut.
 
The Cub Scout body is a better fit in Stacie-size clothes.

Mom is Christy and dad is Joe.  Meet the Jacksons.

Roxanne does a video at the end of Calista's diary post of Bob and Calista dancing.  It is super cute! I had to share it with you guys.

OK, Thanks For Looking!

2024 The Looks AA Ken #25!

 Hey Gang!

I just received my The Looks AA Ken 2024 yesterday! 

Promo Photo
He is my photo!
He wears a neon yellow shirt with periwinkle pants and silver low-top boots.
I was hoping for a new complexion.  I was hoping for something closer to the 80's Steve's complexion. I have a lot of males that have that complexion that needs articulated bodies.
Close-up!
He has a new broad body.
#25 compared to #4!
As you can see, it is an easy head swap!
He also works well with Fashionista #130.
And with Fashionista #153 who was originally on a broad body.
I feel like myself but better!
OK, let's have a little fun and try some non-Mattel heads.

Underfoot! A Quick Post!

 Hay Gang!

Having kids underfoot can be trying. 

Mom Chrissy: I need to get some work done and I can't do it with you two underfoot!  Go outside and play for a few hours. I tell you when you can come back in.  Don't leave the yard!

Dave: So what are we going to do?
Bob: We'll toss the football around!

Bob: Whoever can toss it through the tire the most wins!  I'll go first!

Dave: OK!

New group: Hey guys! What are you going?
Dave: We are just tossing around the football.

Jackson: We heard that there are team tryouts at the rec center. We are going down to sign up!

Jo Jo: Even me!

Dave: Let's ask Mom if we can go!

OK, Thanks For Looking!
