 <\/p>\n

Galaxy Maidens are a new (to me at least) discovery and just one of those random oddball Mego Knock-Offs that makes collecting a joy.<\/strong><\/p>\n

These figures are 8.5″ tall and they really remind me of the Hasbro Charlie’s Angels figures<\/a> but with an obvious science fiction twist.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The thing I find most interesting about Galaxy Maidens is the possible connection to the slightly obscure 70s Science Fiction television series Star Maidens, which got a range of dolls from Julius Cowan<\/a>. I’ll be adding a Star Maidens gallery to the site this month as well.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s also just possible that these are Star Wars-inspired knock-offs, I mean everything had to have a space angle in the late 1970s. Below are some shots of this well-made range of figures.<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_video link=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=faYhT7j9LXA” title=”Toy-Ventures Star Maidens Episode”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”17724″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]Galaxy Maiden Number One has a gold outfit and brown hair.

As you may have noticed the silver foil is peeling off this figure, this is really common in cloth goods in the 1970s.<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”17728″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]The arch of the eyebrows gives these figures a smug, villainous look and that is something I completely approve of.<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”17729″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]A silver cape for a silver lady?<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”17032″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center” onclick=”custom_link” img_link_target=”_blank” css_animation=”fadeIn” link=”https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/Megoknockoff”][vc_column_text]Mego Knock Off Head Quarters<\/a> is our Facebook group dedicated to such things as the Crime Busters, it’s straight toy discussion and nothing but.<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”16947″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center” onclick=”custom_link” css_animation=”rollIn” title=”RETURN TO ACTION FIGURE ARCHIVE MAIN MENU” link=”http:\/\/plaidstallions.com\/reboot\/plaidstallions-action-figure-galleries\/”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
