    Thor

    Could a loose Thor be found on a '74 body? Although he was introduced in '76,is it possible that he was suited up in a leftover '74 bid?
    Take two mego's and call me in the morning.

    Did you find him that way on a sealed card. I would say no.

      Could and should, IMO.

      T1 bodies (slimmer and having joints with metal rivets) are copyright MCMLXXI (1971).

      T2 bodies (more muscular and having joints with plastic pins & pegs) are copyright 1974 and used for all later releases--including the Marvel WGSH wave of Thor, Conan, and the FF, plus later lines like CHiPs and Dukes of Hazzard.

      The copyright dates were not altered for release dates.

      In some lines at the time of transition between the two body types, one can find characters on both body styles: Earlier WGSH characters, Super-Knights, Star Trek, Apes, Wizard of Oz...

        I would say no because even the prototype in commercials was a Type 2.

            Spiderman67 says it is on a T2 body. So yes.

              Yes, I think we have to remember the body copyright date does not necessarily match the release date or head copyright date.
