    New bodies

    Ok, here I go with another one of my stupid ideas, which will probably get ignored like a lot of the stuff I post. We have the AJ body type 0, T1, T2, Type S, Ftc, and Doc bodies. Not counting the bodies made by the customizers. Anyway, do we call the new neck post one T18? Cause Mego returned in 2018. I dont know, its most likely more of my insanity showing.

    I've been struggling with what to call them. I used "2018 Mego body" but that's a bit long.

        Would T3 be too obvious?

          T3 reminds of the type3 toys guy, John I believe. I figured its a new century, go with T18. But T3 works too.

            T18 isn't bad. That way if the body gets tweeked we can use T19, etc.

                If any of the Mego Insiders get a chance to do a nice interview with Doc, I'd love to hear about the development of the new body and the idea behind the changes to the original Mego design, specifically the neck/torso design and the change to theneck plug on the male figures.

                  That would make a great video. Kind of a behind the scenes documentary on the new figure design.

                    By the way, Norm is on a fat body. I'm glad its not just padding. So they made a new male, female and fat body so far.

                      We'll need to consider there will likely be a New Mego 'phase 2' male bandless body; & likely a female one too

                        type -? .curiously there have been many variations of the mego body .if you stick with just Mego in name then type-3 would be fine,however if you factor in emce bodies then you have to say perhaps -type -5 or 6 .
                        if you count swivel arms ,screw backs ,and bbp figures,some of which used differant knee pins ,and then if you count s-bodies ,castaway,zica,ftc, etc .it can be confusing ,and then factor in the chick bodies variations.
                        and muscle body variations,then fats,and skins . ...oh what the ... ?

                          How about the M2.0 or just M2? Since it's Mego 2.0 body. M, for Mego, and 2, because it's the second coming of Mego.

                            This is where I was at when I said T18. Type 0,1 & 2 were all based on the same body. This has a new torso/head thats why I was not really leaning toward T3. This new one is way different so it needs a new designation.

                              NuMego is not as drastic as change from T2 as T1 was into T2.

                              So if the new design isn't T3 out of respect, then...T2K? To signify "Type 2000's", but it also looks like a phonetic play on "tweak" which is what the design actually is; a tweak of the T2 neckplug and torso.

                              I would add that when Doc does a total overhaul - bandless, swivel joints, etc...that should be renamed totally as Msomething.
