Take your eyes off my seams! Thank you.....
OK, lemme see:
I'm in the UK, male, and currently rediscovering Battle of the Planets as a 20something, having vague memories of watching the toon as a kid.
Seeing the BOTP 7" and 12 Mark/Jason figures brought it all back for me, and I eventually ended up buying Princess (there's something about a short skirt and thigh high boots that does it for me every time).
And then I discovered the 12" Princess figure....
In between buying the Princesses and flipping through the BOTP comics in my local Forbidden Planet, I found my way here via the Topcow BOTP forum. //takes a bow
There were discussions in a couple of threads there that caught my eye, namely toy feather shurikens being mentioned (These would be great for 12" Princess, whose major flaw is a lack of weapons), and Gatchaman doujinshi, whatever that might be.
Anyone got any info on either of those two?

Ola Wonderpants, I remember there was a discussion about Prin's hair being multicoloured somewhere on the forums but can't for life of me remember exactly....lets just say we had some interesting theories!

Well, I remember some of those theories. Snicker.
I also recall that it goes back to something I read on the cost of ink.
As mentioned before, black ink costs much more than colored ink. So Japanese anime artists popularized non-black (read: non-japanese) colored hair. Purple, blue, orange, red, pink, and yes, green. The first season of Gatch has our Junnie with black hair, but later seasons, due to cost effective measures I am guessing, changed her hair green.
Makes sense to me anyway.
