Kenner's Glamour Gals made their first appearance in 1981-1982. The dolls were vinyl with
rooted hair and Barbie-style articulation and came with a stand for posing. They were about
4-inches tall making them tower over (as Super Models tend to do) Hasbro's 3 3/4-inch GI Joes
from the same year. During their brief reign on toy shelves (again, like Super Models) Kenner
provided them with many carded fasion outfits and accessories, including the much sought after
Fancy Firebird. Despite the fact that these are "modern" dolls, most of their outfits and
accessories stuck with the time-tested themes of sun-bathing, getting married or just
looking good.
