Here's a blast from the past that we have not yet explored on Terrific TV Toys ... "Electra Woman and Dyna Girl," a perhaps tad obscure part of our Saturday mornings in the 1970s but nonetheless fondly remembered by hardcore Gen-Xers. They were sort of a female Batman and Robin, triapsing around solving crimes with some fab gadgets. They didn't have superpowers or anything -- they relied on their ingenuity.
Electra Woman was portrayed by a very young Deidre Hall, who would go on to great fame on "Days of Our Lives." Her heroic spirit is captured here in a figure by Living Toyz, part of a larger set celebrating the characters of "The Krofft Supershow" (which even had comic books back then as it brought live-action kids' entertainment to Saturday mornings).
I have never watched this show, but my goodness, can I just say that this is hands down one of THE most beautiful action figures I've ever seen?? I LOVE her stance and how her body has been sculpted. The hair is just magnificent! And you got it for $8!? Good grief, I would have bought her too!! And while her packaging was really nice, you were right, Billie -- she needed to come out! :)
