Barbie is hanging out at my shop!

I found these at the dollar store & repainted them. The soccer player got a decal on her shirt, sanded off her shin guards & an old wheel replacing her ball. Just a fun, cheap & easy addition to the shop.

Just tell the store clerk they are for the grand daughters. ?

Scales out about right, too.

Nice work.

Not too bad, except for the fingers.

How tall are the figures???? A number of years ago there was a set of Spice Girls figures that worked well......2 each of the members.

Hey Dave, they're about 3" tall without their stand.

Yea the one has some badly molded hands. They do have 5 fingers but 2 are together so they look weird.

A long time ago my sister was at the dollar store and saw two Barbie size man figures that were so funny that she had to bring them home.. two guys, one white and one black, but they had horrible faces. They looked like felons! We couldn’t see anyone buying these for kids, who would probably cry!

Really good Leda!

Great work!  And a good reminder that not too long ago, we HAD to look for 1/25-ish figures in dollar stores etc.  There just weren't very many, especially females.  Tamiya's old "Campus Friends" and a couple of Japanese sets with "trophy girls," and that was about it.

Master Box from the Ukraine is working to fix that.  Their "Short Stop Pin Up Girls" series has some 1/24 scale women who will not only hang around your garage, but pitch in and help.  These figures are very well detailed, right down to fingernails and dimples in their knees.

What a great find and only a $1. Always looking for figures and those are something different. You did a nice job altering them.
