I know where I'll be...Awake at 9:00 am sitting in front of my computer trying desperately to navigate the obnoxiousness of mattycollector.com to snag myself an AWESOME CAT-RA FIGURE!!!!!
This is absolutely great and one of my favorite subjects of all time. I used to sketch Teela a lot but always loved Cat-Ra as well... you've inspired me to start that up again. Do you remember the Golden Girls (not the little old ladies)? I think I may revisit them as well! Thank you again for the inspiration!
Oops pardon me, apparently it was a line of toys and a TV show released in 1985 called "Golden Girl and the Guardians of the Gemstone" (not to be confused with Marvel's Golden Girl). Perhaps this line was Galoob's answer to She-Ra? But hey, as an adventure loving little girl I was was not about to discriminate against bad ass female warriors because of their brand. I'd better start those sketches - too much cheesetastic awesomeness going to waste! [link]
OMG! I had several of those when I was little and couldn't remember anything about them. They were so awesome! I don't think I ever saw the TV show, though.
Yeah, I would have been four years old when they came out & I managed to collect several of them. That explains what happened to my brain in the key formative years...
