    Fonzie 2018 picture review.

    Found my Happy Days Fonzie figure at a Target store in Seattle, WA tonight. Couldn't be more excited. The figure is really great. My only complaint is that the boots are on so tight that I fear I may break his ankle joint if I remove them. Here are some pictures to compare him to the original.

          Use hot water to soften up the boots.

            Glad ya got ‘em Jase. He looks great. A little smaller than the original it looks like. His tshirt has sleeves which is a nice touch. These pics reviews really help sway decisions on whether to buy or not. Thanks for posting.

              Excellent pics! Great job! Fonzie is at the top of my list for this current wave. He looks really good. I like the fact they got his hair color right on this new one. I always felt like the original was too brown compared to what we saw on screen. Looks like the days of snaps are over, which is probably a good thing. What is your feeling on the material the jacket was made from? Do you think that will hold up better or is it about the same? And are the boots hard plastic or do they have some flex when you push on them?

                  I think the jacket will hold up and probably not flake like the original. The boots do have some flexibility but they are skin tight on his feet.

                      Terrific pictures!
                      You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

                        Looks really good! Adding this to my list of must-haves! Another mission to Target may be on my to-do list this weekend. Hope they have lots of new Mego!

                            It looks really cool, it does looks slightly smaller then the original one but that's not a complaint, the face sculpt is pretty nice and it comes with a comb, although unfortunately it doesn't have the thumbs up, but again it's on one of Doc's bodies
                            so maybe that why the shoes look tight, can you see if it is wearing socks?

                              He doesn't come with socks.
