Aquaman

I saw the Aquaman gift set created by Mattel was on the shelves.

Aquaman is played by Jason Momoa.

He is married to Lisa Bonet whose daughter is Zoe Kravitz and she played Angel Salvadore in X-Men: First Class.  She was on the Superheroes not created as an action figure.



P.S.  I was hoping that Hasbro did a gift set for Black Panther.

Wayne Simmonds

I was excited when this figure was advertised.  He was 12" and he was a black hockey player.  This is rare.  I ordered the figure.  The figure is not articulated and the disappointing part is that his helmet is not removable. 

I am glad that they are starting make black hockey players.  They have another one in 6" which I will probably order and add to my collection.

The New Hair Dolls









Several doll companies have created Black dolls that  have focused on their hairstyles.  These African companies continue to create a variety of dolls  with black features.  I was pleased with most of the dolls  except the Princess Lulu and Princess Linda from Toyi Toyi. These dolls were the same doll accept one had braided hair. My disappointment was because they came in a white boxes together. No info on the company or the dolls.

Gregory Green

Hello,
I am introducing a a new action figure/fashion doll. 

I am an ex-quarterback with New York Dongola, a profession football team. I won 2 championships rings while I played for about 8 years.  After football , I became an attorney.  My hobbies are playing the Trombone and collecting action figures.

In addition to being an attorney , I owned the Midoli Toy Store.  We featured dolls and action figures.

My story is being told from the year of 2011 when I first open Midoli.  I hope you enjoy my insight into the doll world from this year.

Eartha Kitt

Eartha Kitt was going to be created but the company cancelled the action figure.  No reasoning was given but we were looking forward to having her join our world.  She is an icon and we get so very few of them.  Hopefully, in the future she will be created.  She is a true treasure.

Biography of Christie

Christie.  I was created in 1968, after colored Francine.  I am still single after all these years. First, I was dating Brad and he lasted a few years but disappeared.  Then they created Curtis in 1970's for Cara. I thought he was mine because he sure looked like Brad.


Then I left for a hiatus and did appear until for awhile.  I came back with longer and longer hair.


 I had to wait until I made it to the beach to meet a new man.  His name was Steven.  He looked a lot like Black Ken.  I had to look deeply into his eyes to tell him them apart.  I briefly went to Malibu and this is were I was paired with Malibu Ken. He had real hair and it was curly.  His hair reminded me of my first appearance.



 Christie was created by Mattel.
