LOL. This was and still is one of my favorite TV comedies. Although I have no idea who would collect “Golden Girls” action figures.

The set of figures sells for $24.99, and fans who can’t make it to New York this weekend will be able to order them from Target, with orders expected to ship starting October 10. 

Eh, too much. My mother would rather have flowers.

I wouldn’t spend $25 on it from any retail outlet. Maybe I’ll find some at The Salvation Army some day ;-).

Wasn’t Dorothy’s mother on the show actually younger than Bea Arthur in real life?

Possibly the most exciting action figure release since that of the monolith from 2001:

Estelle Getty one year YOUNGER than Bea Arthur. Both about Hillary’s age now when the show ended.

Diversity mandates have now become insane.
Sexism + ageism fighting = characters I can’t imagine anyone buying.

You would be correct. She was made up to look older.
