Cy Girls

CY GIRLS (also known as CY Girls or Cy Girls, and as COOL GIRL in Japan) is an action doll series by Takara Tomy and Blue Box Toys under the brand BBI Collectibles, featuring an elite unit of female crimefighters, combining the elements of both a doll and an action figure. In 2004 a Cy Girls video game was developed by Konami for PlayStation 2.

Name and setting
In Cy Girls' fictional futuristic universe, the Cardinal-Garrison paramilitary group is an elite all-woman team comprises experts in various fields chosen from around the world. It is a secret global fighting organization established to combat criminal conspiracy and activity, rumoured to have come into existence during World War II. Their vehicles and other equipment witnessed at the scene of the incidents in which they went into action bore the Cardinal-Garrison 'CG' logo, and since the existence of Cardinal-Garrison was unknown, the group became known as the "Cy Girls".

Action figures
CY GIRLS is a series of female action figures created as an action counterpart of Barbie. The products were first manufactured in 2000 by Blue Box Toys with a voluptuous body to appeal to young adult male collectors. Barbie doll heads and the GI Joe Classic Collection Vietnam Nurse bodies were used as prototypes to create the first variations. Those dolls are now considered scarce and are usually valued at least $100-$1000 each. Within two years of the original products release, the articulation of the doll has become popular as a customized replacement body for Barbie dolls (with a Barbie doll head on the body); or as an additional doll played with by girls. These dolls were featured in the following book: Action Girls: 12" Female Action Figure Guide Book. ISBN #4-89425-368-2
