Way over a year ago, Ms. Leo posted about finding them in her area and this is the first time I've ever come across them. Either this store is super outdated or the guys are now being released in Florida maybe?
I've never bought anything at Big Lots without there being a 20% sale or having a $5 coupon and I really didn't want to pay 15 whole dollars. But I didn't want to risk them not being in my home town so I sucked it up and got the last two guys since I like their accessories the most. Good thing I did because they are not in my stores. In fact, my stores aren't even carrying ANY Power Team 1:6 dudes anymore, just the 1:12 stuff. Whew, glad I grabbed some.
Yeah, I think you gotta catch those guys when you can. They are also never in my Big Lots either. Some really great looking guys there!
ReplyDeletePhyllis, I hope the 1:6 PT guys make a come back. Christmas is right around the corner so they should be getting some new merchandise in.
DeleteGreat guys & accessories, good you got them, if it's old stock maybe you wouldn't find them anymore!
ReplyDeleteYeah, Night Owl, so far the consensus is that it was probably old stock. The accessories do look cool!
DeleteI am glad you grabbed them too, Muff. I would have grabbed all since my store is like your hometown store. It hasn't carried any 1:6 scale guys of any ethnicity in a couple of years or more.

Debbie, you know I'm way too cheap to pay $60! It was hurting me to pay $30. They are worth it though.
DeleteAwesome outfits and accesories! I'm glad you bought 2 of them. The last boy is really cute, and if I understand correctly they are fully bendable.
ReplyDeleteHi, Stary_Zgred! Yes, the Power Team guys have some great articulation. Way more poseable than fashion dolls.
DeleteI found an UK seller on Ebay who has WPK in stock, but no AA or Asian
ReplyDeleteSergio, I guess the AA and Asian are the hardest to find. Good thing you got a dealer though.
DeleteHello from Spain: Great purchase. I really like these guys and their accessories. In my country they are not for sale. Keep in touch
ReplyDeleteGreetings from Florida, Marta! Power Team does make some very nice accessories for their action figures.
DeleteIts a good thing you got them!!! You know what they say a good man is hard to find!!
ReplyDeleteLOL, Jay, that's what they tell me. ^__^
DeleteCongrats on getting them! I have not seen them in my stores in a couple of years now.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Georgia Girl! I guess they just aren't being released anymore if you haven't seen them in years.
DeleteCool find! Congrats! You do need to grab the ethnic Power Team guys when you see them. I haven't been to BigLots! for some time so I don't know if we have any new guys here.
ReplyDeleteI have seen the first three before. I'm glad you got them; they're totally worth the investment.
D7ana, I grabbed as many as my tight fisted fingers would let me, lol.
DeleteHi Muff! I believe you did the right thing to grab them, the two you picked have interesting face sculpts.
ReplyDeleteHiya, Billa! I do like that they have different faces. That's one of the things I'm going to miss about Power Team releasing new guys. They were generous with different face molds.
DeleteYou are a wise woman, Muff. These guys are not in Atlanta-area stores, and I don't think they have been for at least a couple of years. I especially like the second to last guy. He reminds me of a guy I used to date : )
ReplyDeleteLOL, Jewell. I hope those were some pleasant memories that conjured up when you saw the doll version of the guy you previously dated.
DeleteWhat a good find! It's been a few years since I've seen the African American World Peacekeepers in the Houston area, especially the ones you have, They are quite rare.
ReplyDeleteRare, Ollie? Goodness, now I feel like I got quite the bargain! Yay!
DeleteGreat that you found them! I was hoping to see some new head sculpts. I see that they are now 15.00. I can wait to see what you do with them.
ReplyDeleteMs. Leo, they did have some that were $12, but they had less accessories and none were AA. I checked the Power Team website and it hasn't been updated sine 2004, so who knows if we'll ever see any more face sculpts.
DeleteGreat find!
ReplyDeleteI love the accessories on these guys, so I'm always on the watch for them I never manage to find them in stock, of course, but maybe someday!
jSarie, the accessories are top notch. Power Team always does a good job with them.
DeleteQue guapos, y que sean articulados, genial.
ReplyDeleteGracias por la informacion.
Usted es bienvenido, Lindaivette. ¡Gracias por parar cerca!
DeleteI love these guys. They're a nice fit between action figures and barbie dolls.
ReplyDeleteRoville, you said it perfectly.
DeleteWOW!! I will have to be on the look out for these guys. I do believe I need 3 of them, lol. I wonder if it's due to the holiday season. if so I will be stopping in and checking out the isles.
ReplyDeleteBrini, you are definitely in the holiday spirit to spend some money! Hope those isles bring you what you are looking for.
DeleteMe gustan no sabiaaanada sobre ellosss . Besosss
ReplyDeleteGracias por parar cerca, Carmen.
DeleteI hope my Big Lots has them in. Makes me want to throw some jeans on and run out the door right now...I think I will...Thx for the heads up *,*
ReplyDeleteLOL, Nykole. I do hope that putting on your jeans was worth the effort.
DeleteCongrats! I've been dying for that second guy. I need a new Rod, too because my Rod has had a broken leg for a couple of years now.
ReplyDeleteDang, Vanessa! I wish I would have known that your Rod was broken, because I purposefully didn't buy that doll because he was "your Rod." I will always equate that doll as belonging with Danielle. I'm not likely to pass through Avon Park again, but if I ever see him in another store, I'll definitely get him for you.
Deletethese guys were never in my country but they sure look awesome!
ReplyDelete*off topic: I recently tried your doll hair product removal because I received lots of old barbie dolls from my cousin (I used the boiling method), man you should've seen the oil that came out of my rapunzel,thanks for sharing your tutorial ^^
Hiya, Ampy! So glad that at least one of my hair attempts was successful for you. ^_^
