Five Reasons Why I Love the Power Team Figures

1. Reasonably priced
   
   I have paid from $5.00 to $19.99 for Power Team figures. The $5.00 figures from Dollar General only came dressed, but the $9.99 and $19.99 have included 1:6 scale weapons, mechanical equipment, gym gear, and tables as accessories.
   
   
   
2. The Strength of the Direct Gaze
   
   These guys look you in the eye. They mean business. I can believe that they are heroes without capes. (And yes, Kim, most action figures seem to look straight ahead.)
   
   
   
3. Strike a Pose?
   
   Can they be posed? Oh, yes. The Power Team Guys can move it, move it. Do they look good while posing? Yes again. Some of the earlier models have huge ham-fists, but later figures have better proportioned hands and fingers.
   
   
   
4. Interesting Faces
   
   Look at their faces - not a single bland face in the lot. They have personality.
   
   
   
5. World Representatives - Various Races
   
   Finally, they represent the world. Name a race or ethnicity, and you can likely find a representative of that group in the Power Team figures.
   

Barbie Glam Vacation Jet? New for 2010 - Link

Ah so this is the Barbie Vacation Jet. Reminds me of the other Barbie planes.

Hmmm ... this, I think someone could create something like this.

My crew have a helicopter - that's enough air travel for them.

A second set of Rocawearing So in Style dolls will be available at Entertainment Earth.

I like this Grace's outfit and this Chandra's outfit and hair style.

Shades of Black, Part Four: M & C Toys Power Team

Behold the Black Power Team members that I have to date. (Only one figure withheld - he has green stripes painted across his face.) One figure has a light complexion but most have dark brown complexions. So if you seek darker complected figure AND articulation, check the Power Team selections.

Hunky Harley Ken: Check Photos on Doll Divas

Warning: link to nude Harley Davidson Ken in various poses

Are you debating whether to buy the new Harley Barbie and Ken set? Check the photos submitted by Doll Divas member Amber here:

Harley Ken

The pose-ability of the new Ken looks fun and exciting.

Closed my eyes, tapped my heels together three times, "I am buying Harley Ken (and Barbie); I can afford them" Again, "I am buying Harley Ken and I can afford him." I make a third attempt, but alas my wallet is none the richer. Guess I need the ruby slippers. Sigh.

Links for Integrity Toys' Janay, Alysa, and Playline Dolls

While searching links for the Integrity Male Complexion post, I found these related sites. I am excited to share them with fellow Integrity playline collectors. The Master Collector link might have been provided before. But the others, I found by checking no longer available sites in the Internet Wayback Machine. Note: all sites do not have the photos, but the text there could be useful for dates - although confirmation from other collectors helps since, sometimes, dolls shown may NOT have been produced for the market. (I'm thinking of Shalaly)
