kresge series 3

[thunderbolt]

Didn't someone make a new female body? But then they had issues keeping them in stock!

You see them on ebay when someone is trying to sell a custom mego-style head. But I haven't seen the bodies themselves for sale in ages.

Do the shoes and boots made for the classic Mego female figures fit?

not sure, I know there were people complaining that the heads weren't compatible. Bet Jedijaida could answer that better. The Mattel female bodies are better than Mego as well, and some can be found cheap.

The shoes and boots do NOT fit on Yvonne.

[TRDouble]

Yeah, everything I read says Yvonne is not a replacement for the Mego female.

I have only opened one Mattel female figure -- a cheap Janine -- and the body flopped all over the place. Was that a bad one or was that figure a bad run?

[JediJaida]

I never got her, so I can't tell you.

[Toycade]

We haven't seen a real sell-out since Early Bird Jim Gordon. I am predicting Kresge Harley and Kresge Mary Marvel are going to sell out. Not just from us at Toycade, but from FTC as well. Just wanted to give everyone an early warning!

I just got a cheap cheetah and the body holds a pose well, not floppy at all.

I'm glad I ordered a Joker and Harley when I did my Harry Potter figure. I was definitely thinking I'd end up replacing her body the way I have with my other female figures.

I have long been on the bandwagon that there needs to be a new female body that is compatible with Mego. If FTC did it, I'm sure most of us would be going through our old figures to replace the bodies. $$$

The funny thing is, doing a head swap to an original Mego female body has better results.

Yeah, I've gotten a few that definitely needed restringing due to the age of the elastic, but I have also gotten others where the elastic is just fine, even after forty some odd years.

Yvonne needs to be released as an exclusive ftc compatible figure, I would buy one for all my ftc figures, can anyone say daisey duke red bikini?

(which is now hidden away and best forgotten about)

[TRDouble]

I don't swap all of my male FTC figures out, but I have swapped enough of them to Type S bodies. I would do the same or more for the female figures.

[tiinacat]

Strange, but true. I hope they release a Mary Marvel variant with a yellow cape and small lightning bolt in the retro Mego packaging. Thank this entire batch is great scarecrow works fine for me.

Just got my first two figures from series 3 today (Harley and Scarecrow) and I absolutely love them. What great looking figures to add to a great line.
Can someone in the know confirm that I'm correct in thinking that series 3 will be the last in the Kresge card line.

Just got my Harley and Mary Marvel. Great figures IMHO. Harley is pretty close to perfection and though I do think Mary could have been better, I have to go back to "Hey, we got a Mary Marvel! Very glad I got them!
