I read on the site about AJ being issued with both metal and plastic rivets. All the ones I had when I was a kid had the plastic ones. I've also seen how some here only saw the metal ones when they were younger.
Am I correct in assuming that the plastic ones came first, were possibly not as durable and were later "upgraded" with metal ones? Or did Mego just do whatever was practical or was on-hand at the time?
I've also noticed some AJs have really red lips...especially the non-bearded ones. Some are more natural. I believe the ones I had were really red.
I've also noticed some AJs are really shiny....like coated with clearcoat or something.
Am I also correct in assuming Mego just issued AJ in many different subtle variations or are some of them I'm seeing on ebay simply restorations?
Please educate me. Thanks!
