Havoc Action Girl

I had a Havoc Action Girl and boy did I love her! She spent so much time in the water the elastic that held her legs on rotted and her legs fell off! But that didn't stop me playing with her, although after that she did have to float along as there were obviously no legs in the catsuit! I remember I had the bike and skis and the rainmac, large floppy hat and violin case with the tommie gun in. She was the best. I wish there was a secret agent doll for girls around now, I'm sure it would be much more popular than Barbie or Bratz!

Havoc Super Agent came packed in a striking red box with a plastic window and bright illustrations. The blurb on the back of the box summed up Havoc Super Agent pretty well:

"Fearless, fiery Havoc fights crime around the world. When danger or disaster threaten, she never fails! Her friends know Havoc as a top newspaper reporter. Fiendish international villains have learnt to fear her as 'Havoc, Super Agent'. Havoc's a girl in a million. With the skills and daring to surmount every hazard, outwit every foe. And with all the gear she needs for her fantastic adventures.

Collect all her gear - and help Havoc keep the world free from nastiness and crime!"

If you recognise the face of Havoc then that may be because it used the same mold as the Mary Quant Daisy Doll.

The 9-inch Havoc Doll was only around for a short while in the 1970s so unfortunately we never got to see what her arch enemy, the evil Dr Grizzle looked like.

    I remember my Action Girl, she was so much cooler than Sindy. Mine had a red catsuit. I used to dress her up in Sindy's clothes and she looked great. I still have her in my box of Sindy dolls and furniture.

    I got an Action Girl for Christmas '74 or '75 I remember she came with a flimsy plastic 7" record that you had to put on top of another 7" record (of proper vinyl of course!) to hear it. Sometime you had to put a coin in the middle to help keep the plastic down. I remember not being too impressed when someone (I still don't know who) folded it in half and I could not play it again :-(

      My Google brought me to your post haha. My floppy record lasted longer than poor Action Girl. I had a mean older sister who took great delight in breaking my toys and flung poor Action Girl quite a distance, she lanted on a wrought iron bedpost, head clean off. I was bereft. I used to play the record and cry haaahaaa

    I've been trying to trace Havoc everywhere, to the point I thought I had imagined her, and Anna and Happytime, so I am so glad of this website! My Havoc had bright orange hair, cut in a bob which I went on to emulate as a punk!! (late 70s!!) She was sooooooo cool - definitely role-model material!

    My Havoc doll traveled everywhere with me. Friends were always jealous and had to use their brothers action man kit. I still have the doll but have no idea what happened to her bike. She sailed on puddles was thrown out the window in her parashut and fought the snakes and octupus that came in one of the kits. One of the best dolls ever. I had an action girl but she did not have any fun things like Havoc. Tommy guns, macheties, bows and arrows, hand guns, harpoons and scuba gear. I still have her and some of the stuff. I had hours of fun with her and wanted to be just like her the only bit I did do was get a bike.
