Lucky Find
Oh I wish I could post pics on here.....
Just Two weeks after my daughter bought me a Princess action figure for my birthday, I casually stroll into my town's only Sci-Fi comic book store and find her a companion....
I Got Keyop!!!!!
I couldn't believe my luck. I only walked in on the off chance that they might have something, since it's the same shop I found the graphic novels in, and I've been in a few times since without finding anything at all, but I got lucky today, and practically snatched it off the shelf, not even caring how much it cost either!

You CAN post pics, KT!
You just need a photobucket account.
So now your Princess has got a companion

The link works, KT!
If it's any consolation, you've got more BotP stuff than I do!

I doubt it k2, my daughter found the Princess figure on e-bay, that's not to say it wasn't from the same collector, but highly unlikely.

Of course TJ, and as soon as I find him..... and Jason too! 
Of course I would like to collect them all, but I may have to concede that that will be highly unlikely to happen.

Jason can be hard to find (at times--and pricey too---depending) so if you see him grab him.

Princess can't have him for now cause he's in my hands! The only action figure I have, given to an elated me by a dear friend!
... a jewel, since he's my Eagle and the closest to Ken, which can be part of the beginning of my very, small collection!

Aw Gatchamarie, glad to hear you have your Eagle. I'm sure KT will get hers one day too, along with her Condor!

I'd never dreamed I'd get the Swan, never mind any of the others.
I used to ask my parents for Princess as a child, but being the '80's they misunderstood and assumed I meant Princess Diana, as the Royal Wedding was all the rage at that time. They bought me Sindy dolls, and one had a replica of Diana's wedding dress, and although it was lovely, and I played with them for years, it still wasn't what I wanted.
So hang in there everyone, it can still happen and I might still get my Eagle and Condor yet!

Okay, I'll be the one to say it....
I'm glad to hear your husband's so understanding, Marie. (It's also apparent to me that you haven't accidentally called out the Eagle's name during a more -- ahem! -- intimate moment!)

I was searching for it, wasn't I?! I knew you would have stepped forward, EW! Hmm ... I think I have just answered your question in the "Just had to get it out" thread!
