                                 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?

 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.
