Thrift Store Find: Silver Age Green Arrow Figure

I found the Green Arrow figure from the 1999 DC Super Heroes Silver Age Collection at a local thrift store this morning for only $6.50. The box appears never to have been open but there is a little wear and tear on the corners. The features includes a display stand, a bow that actually fires arrows and a cloth costume like the Mego dolls...er, action figures from the 1970s. This is a rare find for me for none of the local stores ever stocked these nine inch figures.

The back of the box has the following text:

The greatest heroes in the universe join forces to comat the world's most diabolical villains!

The Green Arrow
Real Name: Oliver Queen
Height: 5 feet 11 inches
Eyes: Green
Marital Status: Single
Weight: 178 pounds
Hair: Blond

Oliver Queen, wealthy world traveler, was on a South Seas cruise when a sudden lurch threw him overboard. Currents carried him to a deserted jungle island, and upon regaining his senses, he realized that he would have to fend for himself. Inspired by his Robinson Crusoe-like situation, Oliver began developing his own method for catching food and protecting himself: an array of trick arrows.

Soon, Oliver was catching fish and fowl whis his net arrow, drill arrow, and a number of other types of arrows. He also created a green camouflage suit of leaves. One day, Oliver spotted a freighter anchored off the island. Swimming to the ship's side, Oliver realized that the ship had been overtaken by mutineers. Oliver used his trick arrows to rescue the crew, calling himself the Green Arrow. Upon his arrival back home again, he continued to protect innocent citizens as Green Arrow.

My Zombie Fighting Dream Team

Darius Whiteplume posted his Zombie Fighting Dream Team a few days ago. My league of zombie destroyers would consists of the following:

Sybil Danning

The first person that came to my mind was the deadly yet beautiful Sybil Danning. Not only can she wield a sword but she knows how to handle big guns.

Supergirl

Next on my list is Supergirl because she is easier on the eyes than her cousin plus she has all his powers.

The Huntress

The Huntress is on my list for several reasons but mostly because she is not afraid of using her crossbow pistol.

Lara Croft

Lara Croft is on my team because she is used to running while shooting various weapons. Plus I needed another brunette on the team.

John Rambo

John Rambo is on my team because of his survival skills, ability to use any weapon and is just a bad ass.
