Not bad at all! Once You get the Bodie's swapped out for Original mego...it'll be just like owning the real Thing!

You can't beat that price, and once you swap the bodies, they'll be pretty cool. Robin Hoods are about the best work CTVT did in my opinion. The Knights and Pirates are pretty decent. The Westerns are a little weak, more off on clothing material than anything else, but still decent.

On new bodies, they'll be much cooler!

Great score, one we all wouldn't have even imagined possible a couple years ago. You should do an assessment of the figures to see which ones you really feel the need to replace. My experience shows me that some of the Legend figures had the best bodies (especially Robin Hood and the Pirates, but the Westerns not so much).

I've bought a few of the CTVT Pirates, and the bodies on all of them were actually quite good. I just wish the monster bodies were as good.

I bought the Robin Hood set and put them on T1 bodies. I never really liked the T1 bodies, but now they're growing on me. Oddly enough, the CTVT sandals that came with my Friar Tuck wouldn't stay on his CTVT feet, but they stay on the Mego T1 feet.

I put the Monsters all on glow bodies which are actually really nice.

Yeah, I've used a few of the Glow bodies myself. They're some of the best stuff CTVT made. I should also add that the bodies on the Red-Haired Dracula and Blue-Haired Frankenstein exclusives are actually not nearly as bad as the original monster bodies that CTVT used. They can actually stand on their own without falling over ;)

I just got my first ever CTVT figures and the bodies for Robin Hood, Wil Scarlett, Little John, Drac, and The Mummy were great. Absolutely no complaints. I was planning to get them and put them on new bodies, but there is really no need.

Frankie, The Wolfman, and Friar Tuck are a different story. More like the reports on CTVT bodies I have read.

I don't know what they did differently with the ones I consider to be good, but they are nice and tight and pose great.

One thing I've found with doing body swaps....the CTVT outfits dont fit Doc Mego bodies, or Mego type II's, worth a darn. Well....some fit, some dont....sometimes the outfits are from the same character too? For example,I ordered a ton of Wild Bill outfits up for the black pants. Some fit ok, others were even tight on type ones and CTVT bodies?
