The Victim Mystery Solved

[Godzilla]

Now that is very cool. I never thought I'd see this line expand.

I can't stop looking for her

And it still boggles my mind that neither company knew about the "victim" toy that made the national news four years prior to this. For a long time, it was the only toy NOW ever called for a boycott.

I think it's because with that "victim" you did all kinds of nasty stuff to her with those other kits.

Lincoln's victim doll seems a little bit more innocent than Aurora's Victim, surrounded by tall those torture devices.
As I recall, Spiegel was strictly a Mail Order type catalog. Maybe that's why they eluded the "Protective Parent Brigade".
Like Brian stated. Though grouped in this set of Monsters. I get the feel she is like a "Dr. Chrome Dome." An action figure not originally produced by the original manufacturer but added to expand sales and play possibility.
I'd like to know if the doll has some manufacturers mark or trademark. If she is an added knock off. Would this make her easier for someone to fake up another and claim it was from the original Spiegel set???

That's a really good point, the torture devices likely put it over the top.

I think you could fake up a victim, if you could find what line she originated from. A few sellers take the Barbie knock off radio and sell it as "Mr Rock's Communicator" which is true but it's not a hard to find item.

Look here's one now! Took me three seconds.

From awesome 70's toy to plot structure for every 80's teen RomCom.

Thanks, B, you helped me locate the blue radio that I've been looking for. I now have red, pink and blue. Are there any more colors?

OK - lemme see if this is right.

The Lincoln monster line is pretty seriously tough to find nowadays - indicating not a whole bunch of sales originally and/or a fragile product that was tossed after being broken.
The Victim was only available (assuming from the wording of this ad) as a catalog special in a 5 pack set. This would therefore make this set even tougher to come across than the individual monster figures.
One would suppose that the Victim would then pretty much become its moniker and be disposed of by the monsters, or that any kid that got this set would not be interested in a girl toy and lose the chick or give it to his sister.

It is absolutely amazing that any of these exist at all. The odds are stacked pretty high against finding this one. Best of luck to the lookers.

and super kudos for unearthing the catalog pic/description.

Most awesome discovery, congrats Brian !

It really is; although if the figure was an add-on from another set it's possible that there's a case of these.... under a more girly name.... sitting in a warehouse somewhere.

It would be great if she was a commonplace knock off.

It's funny since I first put her on the site how many people have sent in emails claiming to have had her. It's always the same sort of thing "I didn't know why I got a girl in there".

I am proud to have owned the victim at one time, glad it found it's way to Brian and VERY happy the mystery was solved... the guy I got it from insisted it came from a catalog and now we know... Wish he had another Good job Brain! Greg
