The Purple Protagonist??

December 18, 2006 6:00 PM

For a friend: Name the heroine - similar (looking) to She-Ra but with a purple outfit. Hair: Black/Brown with purple in it. May have ridden a white horse. Help?

Response by poster: Hah, I have literally just discovered (i.e. right after pressing post) that the horse is irrelevant. The heroine's figurine (a toy as I didn't make that clear in the question) was on a horse from something unrelated to this character.

Golden Girl and the Guardians of the Gemstones?

Just noticed that the images on that site aren't very accessible. This site is more of a fan site with better images.

I'm assuming you've already looked through all of the official She-Ra action figures (none of them seem to match your description of brown/black hair with purple in it).

Do you have any idea of what time period the action figure is from?

Response by poster: mid-1980's to early 1990's is most likely.

Thanks for the quick responses and I'll get back to you with my friend's opinions asap.

Looking at twoporedomain's link, I would guess Glimmer...

Perhaps an antagonist? Evil-Lyn was definitely purple.

Psylocke?

How similar to She-Ra? You're not talking about Jem, right? She is quite the purple.

I just came across this line of action figures I had never heard of - The Golden Girl and the Guardians of the Gemstones. Could it be Moth Lady (second down, apparently a member of the Evil Forces)?

(wow, I'm sorry. Nevermind my comment, cadge had it in the 2nd comment)

Response by poster: Sorry, none of these are what she's looking for.

Too bad the question was so vague...
