She-Ra: Home Sweet Home

When I was moving (again) from one house into my parents house while we were working on the house, I dug out some old stuff that I had been storing in a closet for many, many years. And I found my She-Ra Castle!

I remember playing for hours with this , inviting my Barbie dolls and my brothers GI Joe dolls to come over for a visit in her high rise in the sky. I used to love putting GI Joe on the castle throne, and it had this pull cord on the back to raise her up to sit atop her castle, and when GI Joe was bad, you know when he treated Barbie or Frosta with disrespect, Id put him on there and pull the cord really hard and watch him fly out and into the bedroom into exhile. Good times!

Suprisingly, I had pretty much 90 percent of the things the castle originally came with. And it was all in relatively good condition. Minus some fading on the outside of the castle and discoloration on the inside pink floors. I had some good times thinking back to my childhood... and then I sold it on eBay to another lady for her daughter.... HER DAUGHTER! Not her, but generations past the child of the 80's. I think its awesome that so many mothers are sharing with their children the shows, toys etc they grew up with. So Rock on to you, whoever you are out there, for giving my loved toy a new home to be played with and not just displayed.

If one day I hit the lottery and can afford to buy one mint in the box, you have to know I will. Just to own one for a moment in time... then I will resell it. This is what I do. I track down old toys of mine or things I wasnt able to own at the time, and just to be able to have it, photo journal it- thats good enough for me. Then its on to the next loving family or collector!

Here's a YouTube Video of a Commercial
