I found this on eBay.
OK, so it's not really Lureen, but she's dressed in red and she has dark hair.

I'm sure you could find a horse for her, too. :)

That would be a fun activity to do sometime at a Brokie gathering. Everybody could bring dolls that resemble the characters, and see whose come the closest!

First thing I thought of when I saw that Janice West doll in red, which is apparently rare, was, "OMG, it's Lureen!" :laugh:

my first question: what is Jeff looking at the dolls on Ebay for anyway...isn't he a LITTLE old for dolls??
;D ;D ;D

Actually, I've been coping with turning 50 by willfully and deliberately entering my second childhood. ::)
Seriously, I've come to the conclusion if it was a toy, somebody is now collecting it. I found "Lureen" when, out of curiosity, I did a search on eBay for "Johnny West," the 11-inch-tall cowboy "action figure" that Marx brought out in the wake of the success of the original "G.I. Joe." I had one when I was a kid, and also his Indian pal, Chief Cherokee, and their respective horses. The line was expanded to include many additional characters, including "Jane West" and other female figures, such as the "Janice" in red.
I've learned from eBay that all those original figures, and their accessories, are collectible. And not only the originals, but also "reissue" versions. Plus, there is a whole "community" out there of "Johnny West" collectors, plus there are vendors making and marketing additional figures based on the "Johnny West" concept, including characters played in movies by John Wayne and Clint Eastwood.
