Describe the toy and accessories. (Do you have a catch phrase? Favorite items, clothes, hair style?)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nobody wants an action figure of me. Maybe back in the day, when I was living a minimalist lifestyle, growing my own food, cutting wood to burn in our wood stove, and freezing and canning food, but not now. I&#8217;m afraid I&#8217;m not very active any more. Too much time spent in front of a computer.<\/p>\n<p>My wolf shifters were the obvious choices to fill in for me, but they refused to be part of this post because they don&#8217;t want to be outed. Luckily, Harmony Duprie &#8216;volunteered&#8217; to come to my rescue. She didn&#8217;t think she was worthy of an action figure either, but I talked her into it. Her adventures are more what you&#8217;d expect from an action character.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pjmaclayne.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Cover-7-26-14.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-2232 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pjmaclayne.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Cover-7-26-14.jpg?resize=200%2C300&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pjmaclayne.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Cover-7-26-14.jpg?resize=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pjmaclayne.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Cover-7-26-14.jpg?resize=233%2C350&amp;ssl=1 233w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pjmaclayne.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Cover-7-26-14.jpg?resize=100%2C150&amp;ssl=1 100w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pjmaclayne.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Cover-7-26-14.jpg?w=625&amp;ssl=1 625w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a>She made it easy because the original covers for her stories were cartoon-like. Remember this? This is the original cover for The Marquesa&#8217;s Necklace.\u00a0 Brown hair, always in a bun, little or no makeup. <span style=\"font-size: inherit;\">The only thing missing is her thick glasses. She broke down and wore contacts for date night in this picture. Of course, the red dress would be a one time only adventure. More likely she&#8217;d be wearing a nice blue blouse, dress slacks, and a pair of black flats. (But we&#8217;ll include the dress and necklace as part of her accessories)<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Other accessories are easy, too. A stack of books and her laptop bag. There will be two cars sold separately. One is a pale blue Ford Pinto and the other one is a red Jaguar.<\/p>\n<p>And yes, Harmony has a catchphrase. <em>&#8220;I don&#8217;t believe in coincidence.&#8221; <\/em>It&#8217;s not as catchy as &#8220;I&#8217;ll be back&#8221; or &#8220;Hasta la vista, Baby,&#8221; but it&#8217;s perfect for her. (The closest thing I have to a catchphrase is &#8220;Supper&#8217;s ready!&#8221;)<\/p>\n<p>I can see kids getting Harmony into more trouble than she already does, or maybe as their hero as they take pretend adventures of their own. She&#8217;d help them outwit the villain and save the day.<\/p>\n<p>How about you? Would you like to gave an action figure of yourself?
