Love this line! I believe by the time the dolls were introduced at Toy Fair in 1977, Farrah Fawcett was already threatening not to return for a second season. That must have been a blow to Hasbro because they did all the promotion with Jill, and then they had to redo the packaging, and replace her image with Kris.

I never understood those colored jumpers. They did not wear them in the series. I do not remember the outfits, if I would have seen them maybe I would have collected this line. I do remember watching the series with my parents.

Maybe they got the idea when they saw this episode where they wore these pajamas. LOL

My sister had a set of these. I co-opted them for Mego play! Batman needed damsels to rescue (I know, I know, Neanderthal thinking...).

Man I love this line. At a local toy show I saw my friend buy a set for $50 and I said I'll buy a set for that price. I missed out on the carded outfits and the deluxe sets which are more coveted than the figures. But the Angels weren't in my wheelhouse at the time, so I'd be grateful with what I did pickup. I have the loose corgi van as well. Great vintage line to collect and a decent retro show to revisit.
