Brenda Starr Reporter, Daphne Dimples

& Basil St John

Brenda Starr®, Reporter was created by Dale Messick to premiere on June 30, 1940. The tempestuous and flamboyant redhead was always impeccably dressed and coifed as she traveled the globe on one exciting assignment after another for her newspaper, The Flash. Each adventure was filled with glamour, romance and intrigue as this remarkable heroine was perpetually torn between the demands of her career and the many loves of her personal life.

Brenda showed readers a new type of heroine as she fought, from the very first day on the job at The Flash, for her right to be treated as an equal. Always on the cutting edge of fashion, Brenda has a sleek and sexy style that conveys the allure and independence of a workingwoman at the top of her career. This season Brenda will go Undercover to get “the scoop”, look for new hair colors and exotic face painting as she dons her many disguises.

Brenda’s life took a fateful turn on September 16, 1945 when she dreamed of a tall, dark, handsome stranger attired in a black cape and wearing a black patch over one of his eyes. The stranger materialized the following week, “the mystery man” turned out to be Basil St. John®, a reclusive millionaire who cultivates a rare species of black orchids, the only known remedy for his “secret disease”. Basil makes his debut with a collection of dressed dolls and outfits worthy of this dashing Romeo.

Daphne Dimples®, joined Brenda Starr® and the staff at The Flash in order to gain fame as a reporter in her own right. An apprentice to Brenda, this heiress and niece of the owner of the Flash is not one to take second place to anyone, even a “Starr” reporter! Brenda Starr® and Daphne Dimples® are 16” vinyl/ hard plastic dolls with jointed arms and legs, exceptional wardrobes, painted eyes and rooted saran hair.
